THE ROUFELL FORGERIES.

At the Chelmsford assizes yesterday an action came on
before Mr. Baron Channell and a special jury, Roupell and
another v. Haws and another, to recover by writ of eject-
ment an estate at Great Worley, to which the plaintiff
claimed to be entitled as heir-at-law of the late Mr.
Roupell.

The defendants pleaded that they were legally in posses-
sion of the estate in question under a conveyance by Wm.
Roupell, the illegitimate son of the deceased, to whom it
had passed by deed of gift from his father, and the important
question involved in the cause was whether this deed of gift
was forged, or a genuine instrument ; the case on the part
of the plaintiffs being that Wm. Roupell had forged this
deed, and also a will, by means of which he came into pos-
session of the whole of his father's property. This he has
since parted with, and the object of the present and other
actions that are pending is to recover back the estates from
the parties who had purchased them, on the ground that_
Win. Roupell, who at the present time is under sentence of
penal servitude for life, became possessed of thel P
by forgery and fraud, and, consequently, had niondePgra°l,,tivtillfe
to convey it away. An action of a similar kind, it will
be recollected, was disposed of at the last sumfendar
t con-
at Guildford, but upon that occasion the de
