POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
Yesterday ear. Broughton was engaged for nearly two
hours in the investigation of a case in which a very
lady-like person named Eliza Marriott, living at No. 5,
Ampton-street, Gray's Inn-road, and a respectably-
attired middle-aged man,
described al named William Henry Coles,
a corn factor, residing at 319, Oxford-
street,
Were charged with being concerned in uttering
forged cheques.
The inquiry excited a considerable degree of interest,
and the court was much crowded during the proceedings.
Mr. Thomas
Wehbei, a butcher, in an extensive way
of business at 74, Edgeware-road, on being sworn, said
—On Saturday evening last, at nine o'clock, I saw the
prisoner Marriott in my shop, and I was told that she
had requested change for a cheque, but that it was not
h
given t° hgr. She went away, and on Monday morn-
ing se Came again, when she produced a cheque for
101, made

by George Howell, Esq., a customer of mine, and was
drawn upon the bank of Sir Claude Scott and Co. I

next day. Yesterday morning she came once
mor when at my request she handed me the cheque,
which I looked at, and then told her I did not
think it was in Mr. Howell's handwriting. She said,
"Don't give me the money unless you are perfectly satis-
fied that it is all correct;" upon which I told her to sit
down while I took the cheque to Mr.' Howell, and gave
her to understand that if I found it all right she should
have the money. I repaired to Mr. Howell's house, 22,
Oxford-terrace, but he (Mr. Howell) not being at home,
I returned and again told her that I believed the signa-
ture was not genuine, when she produced another cheque
upon Scott's, for the same amount as the farmer, with
t
Mr. Howell's name thereto, and payable to Mr. Collard.
Both the said cheques were dated June 11. I asked
her where sho lived, and she replied at 5, Amptons
street, Gray's lon-road; and on my inquli ing if she had
presented the last-named cheque to Mr. Collard in order
that she might obtain cash for it, she answered that she
had done so on Saturday, but that he had not got enough
by him at the time. Upon my asking her from whom
she received tho cheques, she said that sho had them
from a man who was to met her in front of Jay's mour-
ning warehouse, Regent-street, at seven o'clock in the
evening, whotn she bad mot on Monday and the Satur-
day before. I asked her if she had any abjection to go
she had none whatever, We accordingly proceeded

Sergeant Williamson, 30 A, said—At four o'cicick
yesterday afternoon I was sent for to the bank, and the
female prisoner was given into
my custody by Mr. Scott,
ono of the firm. (Witness here went into particulars
similar to those related by Mr. Webber as to the female
to her by a man.) I and Sergeant Sanders took Mar-

he was locked. At the station-house he was searched,
and upon him I found Et watch and chain, a purse con-
taining 41. 10s. in
gold, a threepenny piece, and a coun-
terfeit shilling. The prisoner Marriott was brought out
from the lock-up room, and asked if she knew him, when
she said that he was the maa from whom she had the
cheques, and was very glad that what she had stated in
reference to the matter had turned out to be quite true.
Coles,
upon hearing this,a;a said, " I'm not going to

Sergeant Sanders, 29 A—l went into the cab with
Williamson, Coles, and --4 Marriott's sister to the station-
house. After Coles had Wig'
kited I searched the vehicle,
and under the cushions upon which Coles had sat I
found a great many letters and sundry other papers. In
one of the said letters I discovered a cheque for 101. on
Scott and Co., purporting, as in the former cases, to be
drawn orbr. Howell. It was made payable to Mrs.
Marriott bearer, and was dated May 12. On my
showing this cheque aad the rest of the papers to Coles
