able diamond brooch, which had been offered to him for pledge

charged, on giving her name end address. The brooch was de.
tamed, foe the inspection of any person who may have lost such en
article.

FORGERY.—R. W. Jasper, a decent-looking young man ofabout
fire-and.twenty years of age, was charged with forging and uttering
four bills of exchange.
The only witness was Mr. Wm. Fox, of the firm of Suttsby,
Fos and Suttaby, the booksellers, of Stationers'.court, who stated
that the prisoner was a bookbinder, and had been employed by the
firmof Suttaby and Co. in that capacity. He had alto purchased
hooks from them, and in consequence there was a running account
between them, and the prisoner was frequently in the habit of
bringing them bills of exchange, which were placed to his credit,
and sometimes were discounted for hie accommodation by the firm.
The witress produeed four bills of exchange for the respective
sums of 1•01., SU., y2l. Ai. and ?M., all drawn by the prisoner.
Two of them purported to be accepted by a Mr. Ambrose Cuddon,
of tit, Paternoster-row, and the other two by Mr. Charles Taylor,
of 160, Fleet-street. These bills had been regularly paid as
genuine bills, by the prisoner, to Suttaby and Co. On Saturday
last one of them became due, and upon being presented foe pay-
ment, it was discovered to be a forgery. lequiry was then made
as to the other three, and all turned out to be forgeries, and the
prisoner was apprehended.
The prisoner did not say any thing In answer to the charge, but
asked if he could not be let out on bail? a request which it is need-
less to say, the worthy Alderman could not comply with.
Mr. Fox withed to have time allowed him to procure the attend-
sacs of the necessary witoesses, whidh was granted.
Me. Alderman Tiecestysov seriously admonished the prisoner
to reflect upon the critical eituation in which he stood. He told
'him that he did not seem to conduct himself as a an whose life
was in jeopardy. He nelviied him to say nothing, but to send im-
mediately to ids friends, and to avail himself of legal advice.
The-prisoner was then remanded until Thursday next.
Mr. Fox stated that his firm bad had dealings with the prisoner
for some years, and always looked upon him as a respectable young
man. Ile had a wife and child, and when the firm of Suttaby and
Co. took bills from him, giving him in return cash and goods, they
always considered that they were rendering him a service. He
universally told them that the bills were given by the parties ac-
cepting them, in consideration of work he had done for them in
the way of his trade.
The prisoner, during his examination, did not appear to evince
the least concern, but just at the close of Mr. Fox's testimony, he
called that gentleman aside, and expressed a wish to speak to
him. He was however told to address anything he had to say to
the Magistrate.
