forged cheque.)
By Mr. Lewis—Witness could onlle state her
belief that it was the prisoner. She: -would not
swear it, as the woman kept her face p. irt.ly covered
us if suffering from face-ache.
Lawrence Foster Sisely, foreman to Mr. Coster,
grocer and post-office keeper, 42, Weetern-road,
Hove, Brighton, proved that he made out a post-
office order for £7 on the instructions of a person
who gave the name of B. Tooke in favo ar of a per-
son named Mary White, of Highgate ?, receiving
from the payee the £lO note produced, *en the back
of which he wrote "B. Tooke." (This was found
to be another of the notes given in excha .nge for the
fo, 'te,ed cheque.)
jo,-eph Alfred Kelly, of the HighgattlPost-office,
proved
,'hat he paid this order to a wo man whom
he believed to be the prisoner. He select ed the pri- .
soner out ot' 30 w omen at the House of Dotentieu.

was on duty at the police-
-news, on the 9th inst. ,
Inspector Silver said, 1
ught in on the present
station, at Marlborough*,
when the prisoner was bro.
charge. I asked her what elle was, and she at first
declined to say. I told her sheras there on a very
serious matter, having been four d in possession of
a .Er.) note, proved to be one of Sc veral which had
been obtained from Coutts's bank by means of a.
forged cheque. She then stated the tt the note was
given her by a gentleman in Oxford-street. I
asked her, " Are you an unfortunate
.girl, then ?"
She replied, " Yes. I met the gentleinan in Ox—
ford-street last night, and went with him into Hyde
Park, and when we returned to Oxford-street, he,
gave me the note." I said, " "What sort of man
was he ?" She replied, "A tall, dark man; and I
was to meet him again in Oxfor d-street the next
night."
Mr. Mnllens. now applied for a .remand, stating
that he had much more evidence to offer at a futon
stage.
Mr. Lewis, jun., n.rged that there no grounds
whatever for detainii'g' the prisoner on this charge.
There could be but tw,e forms of prosecution against
her, either that she forged this cheque, or that she
uttered it. Now it was; not pretended for a single
momeht that she did either, but on the contrary, it
was shown by the evidevce of Mr. Stanley that she
was not the woman whop resented the cheque at
the bank. The fact of her having in her possession
some of the notes obtained by the forged cheque,
even if proved, would go for nothing, there being
no such crime in law. This had been settled by the
decision of one of the judges. T,tien what else could
she be charged with ?
Mr. i'qullens—We charge her with being acces-
sory to the forgery; conspiring, i fact, with an-
other not yot in custody to dispose a notes obtained
by means of forgery.
Mr. Hall-1 think the evidence of &Tim Stephens,
who made her Litatement very creditably, and that
pf Mr. Knight's .assistant, are sufficient to justify
me in granting ti2xis remand; besides wk'ich, there
are the circumstan. les of her having refused to state
her address, after fit.st giving a false one, and en-
deavouring apparenti'v to conceal her face from
observation while deariuo with these notes.
Mr. Lewis—She held ,
her handkerchief to her
face, as the witness stated, to allay the anguish of
an aching tooth. (A laugh.;
Miss Stephens—l said as if suffering pain..
(Laughter.)
Mr. Lewis—Of course, if you." worship thinks
proper to remand the prisoner, We are prepared
fully to meet the charge, whatever it may be,
against her; although, at present, I coe'tenci, there
is no evidence whttever to support the prosecution.
The prisoner was then remanded for a week.
