EXTRAORDINARY CAPTURE OF A FORGER
AT THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

A most remarkable instance of " speedy justice," in
connection with a case of extensive forgery perpetrated
in the City yesterday, came before the Lord Mayor,
just as he was about retiring from the bench. A stylish
dressed man, about 35 years-of age, who refused to give
any account of himself, was charged by Haydon, the
city detective, with obtaining 8501. on a forged cheque
on the banking establishment of Messrs. Barnett, Hoares,
and Co., of 62, Lombard-street, purporting to be signed
by Messrs. Whitbread and Co., the brewers, in Chis-
well-street. The facts were these :—At twenty mi-
nutes after twelve o'clock yesterday morning, a man
presented the cheque in question, at the counter
of Messrs. Barnetts, the bankers, Messrs. Whitbread,
having an account there, and the signature to the cheque
resembling that of one of the firm, the clerk immediately
paid over to him the amount, viz., eight 1001. Bank of Eng-
land notes and 501. in gold. The party had scarcely got
clear of the premises when the-clerk discovered that the
signature to the cheque was a forgery. The matter was
given up as "a loss to the bank," but the notes
were immediately stopped at the Bank of England.
Haydon, city detective,= was stationed at the counter,
where the notes were exchanged, and, singular to relate,
the person who had cashed the check at Hoare's,
came up a few minutes afterwards and asked for gold
for notes he had received from Hoare's. The money was
handed to him and he went away, but Haydon soon
apprehended him.

The Lord Mayor—l will remand you till Saturday.
In the meanwhile, the officers are to ascertain something
of the prisoner's connections. The detection and cap-
ture created much interest throughout all the banking
houses in the city.
