YORK WINTER ASSIZES—Disc. 11.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
Mr. Baron Martin concluded the business at Durham
on Monday, and having reached York proceeded this
(Tuesday) morning with the trial of prisoners.
UTTERING A FORGED BILL 'OF EXCHANGE BY A
CLERGYMAN.
Beres ford, 56, was indicted for having, on the
4th of Nov., 1848, at Bradford, uttered a forged indorse-
ment of a bill of exchange for the payment of 1001., with
intent to defraud Samuel Laycock.
Mr. Blanshard and Dr. Bower conducted the prosecu-
tion ; Mr. Hardy defended the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidence that at the latter end of
October, 1848, the prisoner called at the bank of the
Bradford Banking Company, at Bradford, and said he
was the Rev. Mr. Beresford. He then tendered a bill for
100/. to Mr. Laycock to be discounted, the manager of
the bank, who looked at the bill, and told the prisoner
that he was a perfect stranger to the bank, and that
before the bill could be discounted it was nece sary
that some one should be introduced whom the bank
knew. The prisoner mentioned Mr. Kaye, of Maning-
ham Lodge, and Mr. J. C. Kaye, of Farfield Hall, his
son, and Mr. Laycock replied that the introduction of
Mr. Kaye, or his indorsement, would be perfectly satis-
factory. In a few days afterwards the prisoner again
called at the bank to inquire if a letter was lying there
for him, and as there was not he went away, and called
again afterwards a third time. In the meantime a letter
had arrived, out of which the prisoner took the alleged
forged bill, and presented it to be disccunted. In Octo-
ber, 1848, the prisoner was on a visit at Mr. Kaye's,
and also at his son's, the latter of whom he asked to
discount the bill in question for him fqr 1001., but Mr.
Kaye refused, and never gave authority for his name to
be inserted in the bill. In April last Mr. J. C. Kaye
met the prisoner in Regent-street, London, and said,
"Mr. Beresford I" The prisoner replied "Yes," and
Mr. Kaye then said, " I am afraid I shall have to place
you in the hands of the police." The prisoner inquired
Mr. Kaye's name, and on being told it he immediately
said, "Have mercy upon me," and added that if Mr.
Kaye would go with him to a Mr. Moss the money should
be paid to the bank, but Mr. Kaye declined to accompany
him. It appeared that after Mr. Kaye's name had been
mentioned at the bank, the prisoner wrote to Mr. Kaye
thanking him for his hospitality, and inquiring whether he
(the prisoner) had left a letter at his house. He required
an answer by return of post, and it was suggested on the
part of the prosecution that he bad done this in order to
imitate more effectually the handwriting of Mr. Kaye.
When the bill was presented to Mr. Laycook that gee-
tleman was scrutinising the signature of Mr. Kaye,
when the prisoner stated that he was ill, and had writ-
ten the indorsement in bed, which would probably ac-
count for the signature not resembling very exactly his
usual handwriting. The prisoner then received 991. 6m.
in cash, Mr. Laycock retaining 14s. for interest and
commission. A cheque was subsequently sent to the
bank by a Mr. Payne, for the amount of the bill and
interest, but the manager declined to avail himself of it.
On this fast being stated Mr. Baron Martin said it was
quite immaterial, the question being whether this was a
forged bill er not. It was stated during the trial that
the prisoner is brother to General Beresford, now Adju-
tant-General in India, and the cousin of Lord Decies
and next heir to that title.
Mr. Hardy addressed the jury on behalf of the pri-
soner.
His Lordship briefly summed up the evidence, and
the jury, after a few moments' deliberation, found the
prisoner guilty.
Mr. Baron Martin, in passing sentence, Paid the pri-
soner had been most properly convicted, on the most
clear and satisfactory evidence that could well be ad-
duced, of having uttered the endorsement of Mr. Kaye,
knowing it to be forged. And it was highly important
that the people should understand that the station of
mightths be

man of education and station, and he must kno w
that the prosperity of this country in a great
measure depended upon bills of exchange being pre-
served inviolate. Business could not be carried on
for an hour if the most severe punishment were not in-
flicted for these offences. Within a few years from the
time at which he was now speaking, if the prisoner had
been convicted of this offence, as sure as he was standing
there he would have been executed. There was not a
doubt about it ; but the law had since been altered, but
the alteration had been made upon the understanding
that the judges would do their duty, and would not be
misled from inflicting the proper punishment when an
offence of this kind was brought home to anybody. The
circulation of bills of exchange in this country must bo
protected ; and so far from there being any excuse, it was
a great aggravation that a man of the prisoner's appear-

At a special meeting of the district board of works in
this parish, Mr. T. Bellamy, chairman of the hoard, pre-
siding, Mr. Ashmore, of Bedford-place, moved the nomi-
nation of Capt. Barnett, of 14, Woburn-square, as re-
presentative for that parish, at the central board, and
the motion having been seconded, Capt. Barnett was
unanimously elected.

Mr. Hoey—The charge made by Dr. Gray was that I
sneered at the sufferings of the people. (Cries of " Order,
chair.")

Dr. ray--No ; but of what I said of the sufferings
of the people. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Hoey—l said no such thing ; I said that while I
heartily sympathised with the people, I thought the in-
troduction of the topic irrelevant. (Hear, and order.)

. .
Mr. Cantwell—Dr. Gray 41 not complain of tin t.
Dr. Gray—lf Mr. Hoey withdraws the statement
that he did not intend it, then I stand by what I have
said—(hear, hear, and "order")—that is, that he did
use language which could be interpreted by na sane man
into anything but a jaunty sneer at what I had said.
(Hear. hear.) If Mr. B.oey says ho did not mean it,
then there is no language I could use would be too
strong to show my anxiety to withdraw it—(hear, hear)
—but if he does not say that, the matter stands as it
was. (Hear, b ear. )

Mr. Hoey—l wish that some gentleman who W 9.3 not
directly concerned would state his opinion whether the
language I have used could by any possibility convey
such imputation.

Mr. Maguire— I am sorry I was not allowed to rise
before. My impression of what Mr. Hoeg said wag, that
no doubt the people did suffer, and that be sympathised
with it, but that it had no connection with the present
question. I do not think he could be so far discourteous
as to sneer at Dr. Gray—(hear)—which would be a very
great personal insult. (Hear, hear.) I think that was
never meant by Mr. Hoey. (Hear, hear,)
Mr. O'Brennan—l have stated that Mr. Hoey did
sneeringly allude to the observations of Dr. Gray.
The Chairman—You are not throwing oil on the
troubled waters. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. O'Brennan—But this calls my veracity in ques-
tion' and I repeat it. I say that Mr. Hoey did sneer at
Dr. Gray's observations.
Mr. Cantwell—l think the statement of Mr. Hoey,
that it was not intended—no matter how it appeared—
ought to be quite sufficient for Dr. Gray, and there
ought to be nothing further about the matter. (Hear.)

3001. a-year. It had been as low as 601. He had a
wife and two daughters, and had had seven children.
Mr. Sargood was willing to take an adjournment for
six weeks, to which the opposing creditors assented.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips said he deeply felt for the
underpaid working clergy, and he laid the empkasis on
the word " working" clergy. It seemed that the in-
solvent had at one time only 601. a-year.
The case was adjournel to the 23d Jan., with protec-

CHARGE OF SWINDLING AGAINST A
PROTESTANT CLERGYMAN.

A Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels, v.
nounces that several members of the Institute are about
to be raised to the dignity of senator. To the name of
M. Auber, the distinguished composer, are added tbose
of M. Alfred de Vigny, member of the French Academy,
and MM. Ingres and Delacroix, members of the Aca-
demy of the Beaux Arts.
IVlnnaeriour EVENT.—The Africain, of Constantin,
of the Ist inst., gives an account of a melancholy event
which had just occurred in the neighbourhood of that
city. Eight men belonging to the engineers of the 99th
Regiment were nagagea, in making an excavation for a
large reservoir, and had already reached to a depth of
about 15 feet, when a vast quaabity of the earth at the
side suddenly gave way, and buried them beneath if.
An alarm was at once given, and prompt means were
resorted to for their deliverance. Two of the men who
were at work at the edge and fell in with the earth were
released in a short time, without any very serious in-
jury ; but the others, who were..at the bottom, were not
got out until two hour% after. i
One of them was st!ll
alive, and though seriously bruised, s not considered in
danger, but the other 4ve were dead.

On Wednesday, an elderly gentleman, respectably
dressed, calling himself the Rev. Michael Crotty, was
brought up at the Town.hall, Preston, on a charge of ob-
taining money from numerous persons under false pre-
tences. The court was crowded by many of the gentry
and inhabitants of the town, who represented themselves
to have been swindled by the rev. gentleman.
Mr. Ascroft, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution ;
and Mr. Blackhurst, solicitor, was retained for the de-
fence.
Mr. Ascroft stated, that from inquiries which had re-
cently been instituted, it had been ascertained that the
prisoner was !formerly a Roman Catholic priest, but
having been converted some years ago, he became a
minister of the Church of England, and was instituted
to the Church of St. Brandon, Parsoustown, King's
County, Ireland. lie was there licensed, but the
licence was subsequently withdrawn.
The prisoner—The licence has never been withdrawn.
me. Ascroft continued—Upon the withdrawal of the
licence it would appear that the rev, gentleman paid a
visit to this country. In Liverpool, in February, he
was found collecting money for enlarging and endowing
his church in Parsonstown, representing at the same
time that Lis cousin, William Crotty, acted as his curate
in Ireland during his absence. In that town, it ap-
peared from the subscription book produced, that no
less a SLIM than 2001. had been collected. Early in Oct.
last the rev, gentleman came to Preston, and there ob-
tained numerous sums of money, varying in amount
from if. to 55., from many of the respectable inbabitatts.
Several discrepancies having been detected in the state-
ments made by the prisoner to different persons with
respect to the object to which the subscriptions were to
be applied, suspicion was aroused, and the rector of
Birr, in whose parish the church of St. Brandon is situ-
ate, was communicated with. The following letter was
received in reply:—

"Rectory, Birr, Ireland, Dec. 5, 1855.
My dear Sir, —I really feel obliged for the trouble
you are taking to prevent Mr. Crotty collecting money
in England for no other purpose than for the support of
himself and his family. His licence Ilk been withdrawn
by the bishop of the diocese, he having disappointed us
all in our anxiety to have seen him usefully employed
as a clergyman of the Church among the people to whom
be formerly ministered as a Roman Cathclic priest. His
wife, who is a native of Birmingham, and the children,
are residing here, and, as I am informed, receive constant
supplies of money from Mr. Crotty. It is time that a
stop should be put to this state of thing 4. '!'he chapel,
which was built about 20 years since by the sub-
scriptions of those who were interested in th 4 progress
of the Reformation in this country, is shut up, and
Mr. Crotty has been an absentee ever since he
obtained his Hoene°, with the exception of a few
flying visits which he paid to his family. I can have no
objection to your making use of my name, but at the
same time would wish to avoid any oollision with Mr.
Crotty. I have advised him in this matter, and he gave
me a distinct assurance that he did not intend to remain
here, and that he would discontinue his visits to England
for the purpose of collecting money, and endeavour to
obtain a curacy. His cousin, William Crotty, is a
Presbyterian clergyman in Galway, and I do not think
that he has been in this town for twenty years.
"I am, &c., yours, faithfully,
"L. Clark, Esq., Preston." " MARCUS M. CALTSLA.ND.
On the receipt of this letter, information was given to
the police, and that (Wednesday) morning Mr. Gibbons,
superintendent of the borough constabulary, appre-
hended the rev, gentleman on the platform in the rail-
way station as he was about to leave Preston by train,
Mr. P. Park, C.E., and Mr. Watson, solicitor, were
then examined, and deposed to having, at the solicitation
of the prisoner, given him 1/. and 10s. towards enlarging
and improving his church in Pareonstown. They would
not have entered their names in his subscription-book
if they had been aware that the money was intended for
the support of the rev. gentleman and his family.
Mr. Gibbons, superintendent of police, said he took
the prisoner into custody at the railway station, at ten
o'clock that morning, and charged him with obtaining
money under false pretences. In the course of conver-
sation the prisoner said ho had transmitted the contri•
butions he had received to his wife and family in Ireland
for their support.
Mr. Ascroft then applied for a remand for a week.
Mr. Blackhurst—Of course, the bench will admit Mr.
Crotty to bail?

Alexander M'Clown, carpenter at the Plymouth The-
atre, said—l have been accustomed to theatres for 30
years, and the lights in the Plymouth Theatre were very
properly protected, much more so than in many other
theatres. No other better plan could be adopted, in my
opinion, by Mr. Newcombe. _ _

By Jurymen--I had a daughter burnt in Edinburgh
just in the same way, but not so severely. The lights
were well protected.
This was the last witness called.

The Coroner, in directing attention to the evidence,
said the great question for the jury to consider was,
whether the death of the deceased was occasioned by
the negligence of any person whatever. If they thought
any person was gui:ty of culpable negligence in the
matter they would place him on his trial ; but, if not,
then they would return a verdict of accidental death.
It would also bo in their province to make any sugges-
tion they pleased to Mr. Newcombe with respect to pre-
caution a&,ainst the repetition of such an accident for the
future.

Mr. Newcombe said he should be happy to listen to
any suggestion of some practical way in which to guard
against such accidents. He always, when in town, vi-
sited the scenes of the London theatres, to observe if
any improvements in arrangements, &c,, had been made,
because when Ile saw an improvement he endeavoured
to introduce it into his own establishment. In reply to
the coroner, he said it was hardly his province to iuter-
fare with the dressing of the ladies or dictate the mate-
rial. They would wear light dresses. It was well
known that if the dresses wero steeped in alum axd
water alter being "got up" they would not be liable to
ignite, but the corps de ballet, while knowing the effi-
cacy of thi,, precaution, refused to adopt it, because they
said it spoilt the colour and set of the dress.
The Coroner said the steeping of their dresses in alum
water ought to be insisted on.
The jury consulted, and returned a verdict of "Acci-
dental death."

A subscription list is still open for the pecuniary assist
ance of Midis. Julie's family.

EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF TOBACCO.—At a special meet-
ing of the magistrates at Haleswortb, on the 30th ult.,
George Butcher, jun., of Wenhaston, corn and coal
merchant, and William Forman, of the same places,
were charged by William Weale with having evaded
certain payments due to the revenue on 1,4201b5. of
unrnanufactured tobacco, valued at 4041. 4s. 9d. The
principal witness was a farmer named Blomfield, at
present a prisoner in the county gaol, Ipswich, who had
been induced by the defendants to assist in removing the
tobacco to a barn, from which it was afterwards taken
away by Butcher and another. After a long investiga-
tion the magistrates, having deliberated for a conside-
rable time, convicted the prisoners in the penalties of
7791. 9s. with costs ; in default, nine months' imprison-
ment. The whole of the tobacoo seized weighed 1,420
lbs, the duty on which would be 3s. per lb., and 5 per
cent, extra, the treble value of which the Customs
claimed, viz., 1,212/, 14s. 3d.—Bury and Norwich.

THE REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER.—The oppo-
nents of the present representatives of Manchester appear
to be anxiously looking out for suitable candidates, and
the names of Sir John Potter and Mr. Oliver Heywood
(of the firm of Sir Benjamin Heywood and Co., hankers)
are mentioned as those of gentlemen that are likely to
ensure good support. An anecdote is current to the
effect that the deputation who went to ask Lord Palmer-
ston's assistance in finding candidates, commenced by
asking the noble lord if he would allow his own name to
be put forward in the event of a dissolution of the pre-
sent Parliament. Lord Palmerston is said to Lave good
humouredly exclaimed, " Me go to Manchester, to meet
John Bright. I have quite enough of him in the Houso
of Commons." Nevertheless there is said to be an in-
tention of putting the noble lord forward without calling
upon him to appear personally upon the hustings,
