before Aldermen Rose for further examination on aeveral
charges of forgery and fraud.
Mr. Mullen', solicitor to the Bankers' Protection Asso-
ciation, again appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Walker for the defence.
It will be remembered from the evidence adduced at the
preliminary examination that the prisoner had become
possessed of a blank cheque book, abstracted from a parcel
sent to the Halstead branch of the London and Couuty
Bank, in the beginning of December, 1866. It contained
50 cheques, and the prisoner had succeeded in numerous
instance' in passing them upon tradesmen and other.
The following additional witnesses were now called :
Edward Henry Mailers, pawnbroker, Leda lied
deposed—On the 2nth November, 1866, the prisoner came
to my place to redeem a gun. While he wee in the shop II
person was offering leather leggings for sale. Prisoner
bought three pairs for 15e, and asked me to pay for them,
which I did. On the lith December be returned and
tendered me a cheque for 6/. odd. From this I deducted
the 15a., and gave him the Wanes in cash. He told me
that Mr. Brown, the drawer, was an agricultural implement
maker in Upper Thames-street, and he showed me an
invoice for a mowing machine which he had bought from
him. He caked me if I had an 18 cent gold Albert. I said
that ! bad a 15 carat one, price 121., and he agreed to per.
chum it, and asked if I would take • cheque for the
amount. I told him I did not know him, bus if I got the
cheque cashed I would send him the chain. He then took
a cheque-book out of his pocket sad filled up • cheque for
121., which he signed " dames Stacey." He gave his
address as Rinvenecourt, Chelsea. Having given me the
cheque he went away, but he returned the same afternoon
and got away the chain. I afterwards presented the cheque
for payment, but it was dishonoured.
Edward William Thairem said he was in the service of
Mr, Ashford, hosier, 72, Upper-street, Islington, and knew
the prisoner by the name of William Dolby. About the
beginning of December, 1866, he ordered some shirts to
the value of 2/., and tendered • cheque for 101. Witness
gave him 5/. on account, as that was all that was in the
till at the time, and prisoner returned next day and
received the balance, 3/. The cheque was subsequently
taken to be cashed, but was returned with the wools,

"No account."
John Domett Bartlett, 71, Waterloo-road, said he was
a dealer in article, connected with cricketing. On the
11th of February, 1867, the prisoner called on him with
reference to sending some cricketing articles to Tenbury,
in Woroesterabire. He said his name was H. Norris,
Under Ley-houae,Tenbury, and that Mr. Hall, of Tenbury,
had sent him up with a cheque to purchase • quantity of
cricketing goods for the club. He gave an order for
articles amounting altogether to 151. odd, and in pay-
ment handed me a cheque for W. Witneee gave him in
exchange V. Lis. The cheque was signed "W. H. Hall."
One of the articles ordered was a cricket cheat, on which
were to be put the letters, "W.W. C. C." The cheque
was afterwards returned dishonoured, and the articles
were accordingly not supplied.
Henry Crabtree, builder, W, Sutton-street, York-road.
Lambeth mid be was present at the transaction spoken of
by Mr. Bartlett, and he identified the prisoner as the per-
eon who tendered the cheque.
Mr. hfullens maid this was all the evidence he had to offer
to-day, and he had therefore to apply for another remand.
On the next occasion he should call the secretary of the
cricket club. whose name happened to be Norris, and he
should also have two or three other cases against the

prisoner.
Mr. Walker. on behalf of the prisoner, complained of an
intimation having been made on Saturday that none of the
prisoner's friends would be allowed to see him.
