OLD BAILEY, Oct 28.

Patrick .31Tabe stood charged with having forged
the acceptance of William Quin to a bill of ex-
change for 50/. The prisoner pleaded 4. Not Guilty."
Edward Clifford, of John-street, Adelphi, de-
posed that the prisoner applied to him to get the
bill discounted. lie received from the prisoner
Hi. fur his trouble in malting the inquiries, the re-
sult of which was, that William Quin had not ac-
cepted the bill, nor bud he given authority to any
other person to do so.
Cross-examined by Mr. C. Ptttt.t.ws-11oty many
prisons have you been confined in ? Witness-1
submit that I am not bound to answer that question.
Mr. C. Pnit.ilys—llow long have you been in
Newgate ? Witness--I conceive that has no-
thing to do with the present question.
Mr. C. PHILLIPS repeated these questions un-
der various forMs, to which the prisoner declined
giving any satisfactory answer.
William Q in wax next examined, and stated that
he could not write ; that he net the prisoner at a
public-house, and that the prisoner inquired for pun
and ink, but that he, gave him no authority to mite
his name.

Mr. Baron GARRow recapitulated the evidence,
and the 'Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

Richare Phillips; a grocer, who lately carried on
business in Piekett-pluer, Strand, was indicted-for
uttering an unstamped receipt for money, with in-
tent to cheat and defraud Messrs. Houghton, Flin.
tan, and Co., provision-merchants, Berwick-street,
Soho-square.
The circumstances of this case have been re-
ported so lately, that a brief abstract of the evidence
is all that is necessary. The prisoner purchased a
quantity of hams from the prosecutors, and ordered
a portion of them, amounting to .5/. Gs. 6d., to be
sent to, his house, on the express understanding,
howeVer, that they should be paid for on delivery.
When the parcel of hams were delivered at the pri-
soner's residence, the prisoner told the porter that
he was to give him a receipt for 6s. 6d. The porter,
supposing that the 5/. had been paid to his master,
gave a receipt for the balance. In this receipt it
was alleged that the figure of 5, With an X over it,
had been introduced by the prisoner after the porter
had signed it, so that the receipt appeared 0 be for
the whole amount claimed.

The evidence of the porter distinctly proved that
no other figures but the 6s, 6d. were in the body of
the receipt. when he signed it.
The prisoner in his defence declared that he was
innocent of the charge, and called his shop-boy to
prove that the whole of the receipt as it now ap-
peared was written by the porter.
Mr. Hughes, an attorney, was then called by
Mr. C. l'unlArs, to give the prisoner a character.
The witness deposed that he had been professionally
engaged by him, but all he could say was that he
(the prisoner) had not cheated him in any way.
Mr. Justice Patric---lie would indeed have been
a clever fellow if he could cheat an attorney.
Several persons gave the prisoner(' good character.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Mr. Justice PARK observed that the offence of
the prisoner was considerably aggravated by calling
his boy tor Ward to help him out by committing per-
jury. Owing to the late merciful alteration in the
law relating to forgery, the prisoner's, life would not
he affected by the verdict, but it would be a matter
of future consideration whether the law, as it now
stood, ought not to be carried into full effect.
