Charles Louis Languis' -was indieied for forging
and uttering as true, knowing it to be forged, a cer-
tain Bill of Exchange for 2f:?1. purporting' to be drawn
by, Ann Winter, 'on Mr. J. Savage, of Gray's-Inn-
lane, carpenter, with intent .to defraud J. Atkinson.
The Prisoner live.d-as Clerk to Mr. Atkin;on, of Fal-
con-square, and in April last he asked his Master to
discbunt him a bill. Afterwards, differences arose
between the. Prisoner and his Master, when the Pri-
soner quitted his Master's service. When' the bill
became due, Mr. Atkinson presented it at the house
of Mr. Savage, who said it was not his acceptance.
The attention of Mr. Atkinson was thus drawn more
particularly to the bill,•and loOking at the body and
the acceptance, and being particularly acquainted
with .the hand-writing of the Prisoner, wh© had been
his. Clerk, had no doubt it .was his, although it
was written in a disguised hand. Two witnesses
swore that. the acceptance was not of the hand-
writing of Mr. Savage, on which the Prisoner was
found Guilty—Death.
James IPestwOod was indi&ed for forging, and for
uttering as true, knowing it to,be forged, a certain
paper, purporting to be an order for the payment of
a Sum of money from S. Feara, oft Messrs. Bond
aod Co. for 1501. to be paid to John Williams, Esq.
or bearer, with intent to defraud Messrs. Bond,
and Co.

The Prisoner went to Seagoe's Coffee-house, in
Holborn, and desired the master of that house, that
Many letter, direCied to J. Williams, should be left,
that he might have it. He asked whether he could
have a porter; he was answered•" Yes ;" they sent
for a porter, and he came from Gray's Inn. The
Prisoner gave the porter an order on the banking-
house of Messrs. Bond and cp. and desired him to
.get cash for it. When this paper was produced, the
forgery was instantly discovered. One or the part-
ners of the Banking-house returned with the porter
.to Seagoe's Coffee-house, and on the porter pointing
-to the Prisoner, the Gentleman attempted to secure
him, but he rushed out, and, for a moment, escaped,.
but was followed, pursued,:and taken. •
•.The defence, was, that he received this order in
-part ,payment of a debt due to him .by a person
of the name of Cook, and that his resistance arose
from his apprehension that they were going to arrest
him for debt, he being in embarrassed circumstances..
Guilty, Death.
