soner, who paid& certain roan on account, and lett 161., for
which he gave his personal senility to the prosecutor, pro-
miming to pay the amount in a fortnight, as he bad money in
the savings bank, and would withdraw the enre roguired.
The primmer. however, did not pay the amount owing, but
gave the prosecutor a bill of exchange for 171. 10s., which
to be drawn and accepted by • Mr. W. Jackson,
iirtft-o-ell—tenrupon-Tose, cheese and bacon factor. This bill
became due on the 27th of Ortobr last, and was dishonoured,
upon which the prosecutor wrote to Mr. Jackson, at Stock-
ton-apart-Tees, and he entirely repudiated all connexion
with the bill, which was then discovered to bo a finery, and
that the prisoner had uttered it with guilty knowledge.
The defence wan that the prisoner had received the t4ll in
the common course of busineu, and had paid it to Mr. Har-
rlsouln • honk fide manner. _ _

perty under the disputed wills ; he is third cousin to the
testatrix. The defendant is the Rev. Mot Lovett, who
