OBTAINING MONEY ON. FORGED SEAMEN'S NOTES.—Peter
-Got'', a native of Manilla, who keeps a boarding house
in Pownall street, vvay charged with having forged and
uttered sailors' notes to the amount of £2B, and also with
having obtained money and goods on the notes. Mr.
Campbell defended. James Frewin, a tailor, residing in
Frederick street, produced sailors' notes to the amount of
.e2B, and said he had given the prisoner goods and money
to the amount of .el 8 for them ; he found, afterwards,
that the bills were forged.' Mr. Rathbone asked the wit-
ness how he could account for the balance of e 10? The
witness said he gave the prisoner money and value to the
amount•of £lB, and charged 2s in the pound discount.
This reply did not satisfy his worship, .wha said he could
not understand ,elB -answering for £2B, but the witness
still he had given full value for the notes in• the amount
stated. Edward Parker, a shipping master, said (on being
handed some of the notes purporting to have been issued
by him), that he knew nothing whatever about them. Mr.
John Roberts, a clerk in Mr. John DeCosta's shipping
office, was handed some of the bills alleged to, have, been
issued to seamen from that office, and he stated that the
bills were forgeries, and that the men named in them were

offence at Bristol, and sentenced to eighteen months'

CHARGE AGAINST SIIOPKEEPERS.—Thomas Roberts, a
boy about 12 years of age. a messenger in the shop of Mr.
Lott, tailor and draper, .Dale -street, was 'brought up by
de,ective Scott, on a charge cf having stolen a quantity
of silk serge, twist, and other materials used in the trade
of Mr. Lott, and John Audley, a piece broker in William-
son-street, and Mary M‘Farlane. another piece broker iu
London-road, were charged with having purchased the
articles, knowing that the boy had stolen them. Mr. Roby
defended. It appeared that the boy was in the service
of Mr. Latt, and had access to all the property in the
place. The proscutor missed twenty-seven yards of silk
serge and a variety of other things, and.it seemed that the
other male prisoner had purchased from the boy pieces,
for, from Is 6d to 6s each; the female prisoner had pur-
chased-same small things from the lad also. Articles that
cost Mr. Lott 3s iaa were sold for Is 4d to "the other
prisoners. Mr. Roby argued that the prisoners Audley
and M'Farlane could not know that the boy had stolen
the articles, as it was the custom of the trade to act in the
way described. He elicited from Mr. Lott that the boy's
fa; her had been with him as a tailor for a long time, and
the boy himself since July,_and he had nothing to say
against him. Indeed, Mr. Lott begged most strongly of the
Inaistrates not to punish the boy, as his mother was
very ill. The magistrates said the conduct of Mr. Lott
wag . praiseworthy and humane. They would for the
present remand the -lad. The evidence against the other
two prisoners was not considered sufficient, and 'they
were discharged, but they were strongly cautioned as to
their conduct in future dealings.
