FORGED BINK OF ENGLAND NOTES.—Fur some
time past it has been known to the police that several per-
sons, no doubt belonging to an organized gang, have been
residing in Bristol, and visiting various fairs in Somerset-
shire for the purpose of uttering forged Bank of England
notes, their pretended business being the purchase of horses.
About a fortnight since, police-sergeant Hazel, of the Glou-
cestershire constabulary, succeeded in apprehending one of
the gang while passing a 10/. Bank of England note, and
procuring his committal. On Thursday, January Ist, he
succeeded in apprehending another of the gang under the fol-
lowing circumstances: On the 30th of November a gentle-
man residing at Taunton, of the name of Dunn, attended
Bromfield fair, where he sold a horse for IS/., in payment for
which, besides other money, he received a forged Bank of
England note for ICI. As soon'as be discovered the forgery
he went back to the fair, but of course the purchaser had
disappeared. Mr. Dunn traced him to the Bridgewater
Railway station, and found that be had gone on to Bristol.
A descripton of the man was forwarded to the police autho-
rities, and Sergeant Hazell,.suspecting a man named George
Cox, of St. George's, Gloucestershire, a notorious character,
having been twice convicted of felony, he on Thursday ap-
prehended him. When taken into custody, he positively
denied haVing been at the fair in question, ut upon being
subsequently taken before the magistrates he admitted that
he bad been at Bromfield fair, and that he had there pur-
cha: ed a horse for 18/. Re has been removed to Taunton for
examination before the county magistrates.
