POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.
Yesterday Mr. 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, named ler'iLain Henry Coles,
described as 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 Webber, 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

given to her. she went away, andi on Monday morn-
jog she cam® again, when she produced a cheque for
10/., made payable to me, and purporting to be signed
by George a customer of mine, and was

when at my request she handed me the cheque,
in Mr. Howell's handwriting. She said,
" Don't give cue 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 former, with
Mr. Howell's name thereto, and payable to Mr. Collard.
Both the said cheques were dated June 11. I asked
her where she lived, and she replied at 5, Ampton-
street, Gray's Inn-road; and on my inquii ing if she had
presented the last-named chsque 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 the cheques, she said that she 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
ermine, whom she had met on Moeday end the Satur-
day before. I asked her if she had any objection to go
with me to the banking house, to which she replied that

have fallen by the same time alleging shat he did
that the female should have got into trouble through
him. Marriott declared that she was quite innocent as
from his pocket. He was sorry

At the station I sh

on her lookin at it she said , "Yes,
I know it, he (Coles) signed it in my presence." She
further said, that
en her first acquaintance with Coles,
some weeks ago, at
g
Charing-cross, while it was rain-
ing hard, he politely offered her the use of his umbrella,
which she accepted, and hence had arisen a subsequent
meeting.
Mr. Howell examined the three cheques produced, and
said that his name was forged to all of them.
Mr. BRUM/MN—Do you know anything of Colo?
Mr' 11" ell—lie formerly was in business as a baker,
not far
bread for mfrom
my residence, and I dealt with him for
y family.
Coles, after being cautioned, said—Whatever has pos-
sessed me to do this I do not know, but it was not for
any gain of eat*.
I had 14 wish to injure the female
or any 0123 else, and what nave done is, perhaps, owing
to severe losses which I have sustained. Since I quitted
my place of business I have lost no less a sum than
30,0001, and that occasionally affects my mind. -

The female said she was quite innocent.
The opinion of the prosecutor and Mr. Howell, as
as well as that of the officers
was
that Marriott was a
mere instrument in the hands of Colo with regard to
the uttering of
the cheques in question.
Other particulars were gone into, and it is expected
that on a future occasion other charges of forgery will
be brought forward against the prisoner Coles.
Mr. BROIJCIIITON expressed his willingness to accept
bail for the female,
