WHOLESALE UTTERING Or COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Ed-
ward Brien, a lad of about 18 or 19, was charged with utter-
ing counterfeit coin under the following circumstances
James Trimsby, tobacconist, 307, Fulham-road, said that
on Saturday night between five and six o'clock a man came
into his shop (not the prisoner), and asked for half an ounce
of common shag. He served him, and receiving a shilling,
thought after he was gone that it was I)%d. He then put
it by, and soon afterwards a constable came in and asked
him if he bad received any bad money, upon which he
showed him the shilling, and he pronounced it bad.
James M'Queen, 363 V, said that at about 2 o'clock on
Saturday afternoon he saw the prisoner in company with
two others, loitering about the King's-road, and watched
them till he lost sight of them. At about 5 o'clock he saw
them again coming along the Fulham-road from Ful
ham. Presently he saw one of the party go into Mr.
Trimsby's, and after that they visited Mr. Stewart, a
baker's, and then went into the Queen's Elms, and lastly
to another baker's, at all of which places they tendered
counterfeit coin. At the last place he saw the baker break
the shilling in half, and when they left he took prisoner and
one of his companions into custody, but they both resisted,
and the latter escaped. On searching prisoner he found
on him a portemonnaie ; there were ten bad shillings iu it,
two more in the private pocket of the purse, and he also
found another in his trousers.

Defendant denied all knowledge of the other men con-
cerned, and declared that he was never near Mr. Frimsby's.
The constable, however, intimated that among the things
found on him was some tobacco, with Mr. Frimsby's name
I on the paper in which it was wrapped.
