GUILDHALL.

IaiI.OIITAIIT BILL CASE.—Laward Henalll was charged
with detaining a valuable security with intent to defraud.
On the 2nd of February last ldr. Wilkiiisin, of Poplar.
drew a bill of exchange for 3001. ou isle. G. etch y, of Black-
well, by when it was accepted. The bill, with a fetter of
instructions of the same date, Was given to Hessen fur the
purpose of getting it siscuuoted. Atter en interval of three
weeks, it was agreed between the parties to the bill to alter
the date from the 2nd to the 22nd of February, aid tho bid
so 'Lend, with a copy of the Liter of instructpins altered In
the lame dote, was again entrusted to Hensel'. On the 13th
of April lit: z-:1 paid to Wilkinson 604, lest discount and
cemusesiou. end on the IG.h 601. more, has the tame de-
ductiens, alleging that the person who had undertaken to
discount the bill bad no more money at the time. No fur-
ther payment could be obtained, and hence the present I
charge.
The defence was, that the 133, after the alteration in date,
was a worthless security, inasmuch ILI the law requires in
themes of any renewal or re issue of a bill of exchange, that
it most be on a freshet:snip, and therefore the bill was not
worth the paper it was written upon. Next, that the letter
of incructiuns written on the 2 .d of February could not
Mtge to the bill issued on the 22nd.
Toe Alderman was of upieicu that there was not evidence
to susteici the charge of attempt to defraud. The letter of
instructions being dated Vt. 2nd of February, could only be-
long to the Erst transaction, and if a 1311 requires altering,
for the purvos, of negotiation, it must be, according to the
statute, drawn en a fresh stamp, and accompanied by a fresh
letter of instructiora of the same eats as the bill. lie there-
fore dismissed the case.
