FORGERY UPON TILE BANK OF ENGLAND.
Mr. Henry Wells Young, • solicitor, of 14,
Gray's-inn-square, was yesterday brought before Mr. Alder-
man Mechi, who art at the Mansion House for the Lord
Mayor, in ousts* of Micheal Haydon, of the City detective
pohos, charged with feloniously forging sod tittering two
powers of &Mammy for the twirler of the several soma of
2,4001. New Three per Cent. Stook, and 3,2661. Is. 9d. Re-
duced Three Per Cent. Stock, with intent to defraud the
governor and company of the Bank of England.

The warrant woo which the prisoner wee apprehended
was only granted by the Lord Mr on the previous day,
and it was placed in the hands of Haydon, who very speedily
succeeded in executing ft. The accused, who is a gentle-
manly looking young man, appeared very much depressed
when placed at the bar.

Mr. Freshfield, of the Arm of Freshfield and Co., soli-
ton to the Bank of England, attended to support th:m
mention. No professional gentleman appeared one
of the prisoner.

Mr. Freddield said he appeared on behalf of the Bank of
England, to support a charge of felonyaprrt the primmer,
who had only just been taken into custody, and under such
circumstances he considered that an opportunity ought to
be afforded him to obtain professional senatence. AU he p(O•
posed to do, therefore, on the present occasion was to offer
sufficient evidence to justify • remand. It would be necomary
that he should state, however, that the prisoner would be
charged with having uttered forged powers of attorney for
the Launder of two sums of 2,4001. and 3,2661. Is. 9d., that
were steadies in the books of the Bank of England in the
names of Maria Gobegan, a widow lady, who had • life in-
terest in the money, sad William Gbh °combs, aa exe-
cutor' at the will of a gentleman Richard Gobspe,
the deemed husband of the lady wham same he had map
timed. It would appear that the prienser had become ac-
quaintedwith the fact of the money being in the tames of
the parties from the circumstance that Mrs. GOlOl4Olll had
00064100 to borrow two sums of 2001. from a society with
which the prisoner was connected, and her interest in
these funds was made a security for the mosey that
wee advanced. It =wild be proved, he believed, beyond a
doubt that the warrants of attorney epee which the stook was
transferred were forged, Mr. Coombe, on of the executors,
being at the time at Halifax, and We. Gansu would state
the eireameleaess ander which she became acquainted with
the primmer, and would elm prove distinctly that she knew
oath* at the supposed trenefers, and that her signature to
these pewees of attorney wee forged, He should shortly
move these feels, and he should then ask that the prisoner
might be remanded= order naiad an opportunity to com-
plete the two eases.
Mr. H. G. Garrett, a clerk in the Bank of England in the
Reduced Three per Cent. Office, deposed that in November

reserve his defence.

Mr. Bogor Bylda, stockbroker, of Change Alley,Cornbill,

of November, aad he did so and handed to the prisoner,

posed to lay before the court on the present occasion, and

tics for a remand!
The prisoner maid be should be glad to have an oppor-
tunity of consulting his legal adviser, and he, therefore,

by the solicitor for the prosecution.
He was accordingly remanded.

CHAROI 01 ASSAULT AGAINST A SCHOOLMASIZIL
—At the Leeds Town-hall, on Tuesday, before J. Wilson,
Esq., and C. J. Maclea, Fie,., Mr. IL H. V.' &bright, master of
the St. Marie's Roman Cwholie day school, Richmond-hill,
was charged with assaulting William Dom, pupil teacher,
on the morning of Friday List. The boy stated that Mr.
%bright bad beaten him very severely on the head, so that
be was üblized to stay at home the whole of the afternoon.
The boy's mother also deposed that her sons face was
very much swollen, and that "it was the colour
of .the fire, it was so red." Mr. Sebright, in an-
swer to the charge, said the boy's statement was cub-
shintially correct, but he submitted is extenuation that be
bad boxed the lad's ears under great provocation. He
had been a schoolmaster eighteen years, and it was the
first time he had struck a pupil teacher. For the last
eighteen months this lad had been a great torment to him ;
be had hitherto acted kindly towards him, and had remon-
strated with him upon his conduct at the request of his
parents. At the time when the offence complained of took
phice, Dyson was superintending a writing cies@ ; he asked
him to mom &boat, instead of standing in one place, which
\o rotund to do; and being anooyed at this and other in-
stances of bad conduct, he had, he acknowledged, boxed
the prosecutor's ears with the palm of his hand. The lad's
statement with reference to standing still was that he led
stood in the clam for the purpose of palling out a pee
which had become bat in the holder. The magistrates
mid they were of opinion the evidence proved that the de-
(Medan% had exercised undue severity, and that it was a
very dangerous practice to strike boys on the head. They
