CEIV TRAL COURT---(71115 DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Cresswell.)

FORGERY.

_ The two prisoners, Coleman and Gurney, who were
found guilty yesterday of concurring in the forgery of a
hill of exchange, were brought up this morning to re-
ceive the judgment of the Court.
Mr. Justice Cresswell, in passing sentence, stated that
One of the jury had this morning intimated that it was
the intention of the whole jury to recommend the pri-
soners to mercy, on the ground of the evidence not being
se conclusive as it might have been ; but they were all
satisfied of their guilt, and though no money was ob-
tained by means of the forgery in question, yet there
eetild be no doubt that it was only one part of an Exton-
:lye system of fraud which they had in contemplation.
It therefore became necessary, for the protection of
traders in the my of London, to make a severe example
of the prisoners, and the sentence of the Court upon
them was that they be transported beyond the seas for
a period of 15 years.
The prisoners wera then removed from the dock.
MANSLAUGHTER.
Susan Kale surrendered to take her trial on an in-
dietment charging her with the " manslaughter" of a
Married woman named Margaret Ellen Jones.
Mr. Robinson conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Clarkson appeared for the prisoner.
it appeared from the evidence for the prosecution,
that the prisoner, who resided at Stoke Newington, had
a servant, named Sophia Williams, whom she suddenly
discharged for some alleged misconduct. A few days
afterwards, the mother of the girl went to the prisoner's
house, in company with the deceased Mrs. Jones, to
inquire the reason for her dismissal, and to fetch away
her clothes. The deceased knocked at the door, which
Was opened by the prisoner, who, on ascertaining their
errand, threw out a bundle of clothes, and then gave
the deceased a push, which sent her into the area, a
few feet below, and the injuries she received were of
such a serious description that she died a few days
afterwards in the hospital.

Mrs. Williams admitted, on cross-examination, that
she and the deceased had been drinking some gin, but
she denied that they were intoxicated. Witness broke
some windows in order to induce the people to come
out, and render some assistance, and she was given into
custody, and fined for the damage done.
The policeman said that both Mrs. Williams and the
deceased were drunk when he was called to the spot.
Mr. Clarkson having addressed the jury, and the
learned Judge having summed up, the jury returned
a verdict of Not Guilty.
