POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

BOW- STREET.

FORGERY BY A CONFIDENTIAL CLERK.--
Peyton and Emma Hayes were charged with uttering a
forged cheque for £3O, on Glyn and Co.'s bank.
Mr. Pavey, preprietur of the Swan Hotel, New-street,
Covent-garden, stated—l have known the prisoner for
about four or five years as holding a good pooition in society.
He was managing clerk in a large firm in the City. I was
not aware that he had left his situation. On the 22d
December he called on me, and said he was rather
short of money, and would be obliged if I would lend
him £l5. I lent him the money. On the 23d of January,
the female prisoner called on me with a letter from him.
I had known her from seeing her in the prisoner's company
at various times, The letter enclosed a cheque on Messrs.
Glyn's bank, signed " W. Peyton," which was the name
by which I had known him (though I now believe it is a
fictitious name), and dated from Park Village West, which
is certainly not his present address, though, no doubt, he
formerly lived there. The letter contained a reque,t that
I should cash the cheque, deducting the which he owed
me, and hand the other £l5 to the lady. I accord-
ingly gave her two £5 notes and £5 in sovereigns.
I paid the cheque away to Mr. Gale, a cheesemonger, in
discharge of an account amounting to £24, and he paid me
the difference. On Monday I received a letter by poet from
the prisoner, requesting me to hold the cheque over for a
few days. At that time, however, I had parted with the
cheque. Yesterday (Wednesday) the cheque was returned
to me by Mr. Gale, who had presented it at the bank, where
payment was refused.
After some further evidence the male prisoner was re-
manded, and the woman discharged.
