EXTENSIVE FORGERY IN LIVERPOOL.—On Monday
last, at the Liverpool Police-court, a very respectably-
dressed person named John Simpson, was brought rip
on a charge of uttering a forged cheque for 1,5001. pus -
porting to be drawn upon the London bankers, Glyn,
Mills, and Co. It appeared that on the morning of
Monday the prisoner presented the cheque at the Batik
of Liverpool, and to account for their not having lead
previous advice of it, stated that Mr. St. Leger Gly
had occasion to go to the north on some Parliamentary
business, and that his father, fearing he would run short
of funds, had given him (the prisoner) the cheque to
furnish him with anything he required. A communic n-
tion having been received from the Messrs. Glyn ( )11
Saturday, and not having mentioned ought of the cir-
cumstance, excited some suspicion in the mind of tt te
manager, to whom the cheque was presented, and whi
in consultation with the manager, Joseph Langto ti,
Esq., the prisoner seemed uneasy, and endeavoured
.to
leave the premises. He was immediately given in t o
custody, and at the Bridewell and before the magistrates
he confessed his guilt. He had been formerly a clef k
in Messrs. Glyn's bank, but had left for America, an d
had only lately returned to this country.
DEATH IN A POLICE CELL.--Wednesday Mr. Brent r e-
sumed and concluded an investigation, at the Bank of
England, Paddington, into the death of Mary Hines, a
widow, aged 58, which took place under the following
circumstances :—As police constable 268 D was on duty
in Lisson Grove, his attention was drawn to deceasod,
who was sitting on a door step near the Brazen Head,
partly unconscious. Considering that she had been
drinking to excesP, he immediately procured a truck arid
had her conveyed to the Molyneux-street police station,
where she was placed in a warm cell by order of the in-
spector on duty. She was visited every half hour bythe
Fdieeman in charge of the cells, who after the laps- a of
three hours reported that a great change had come • aver
the deceased. She was then removed into the open air
and medical assistance sent for, when, upon the an ival
of Dr. Dutton, that gentleman pronounced life extimet.
The body was then removed to St. Mary's Hospital,
where subsequently Mr. Baker, the resident medical .31E-
cer, performed the autopsy, and made a careful analysis
of the stomach and its contents. He discovered no t race
of any poison, nor were there any appearances to heal
him to believe deceased had been drinking. Altho ugh
not very extensive, yet there was sufficient disease in. se-
veral of the organs to account for death. A-large n um-
ber of witnesses were examined, but their statements Ivero
so contradictory that not much reliance could be ph teed
upon their evidence. Several of them charged the ca dice
with treating the deceased harshly, while others lauded
the constables for their humanity. Ultimately a verdict
in accordance with the medical testimony was returned
by the jury, who before separating commented strongly
on the practice of the police, who were always led to be-
lieve that because a person was unconscious that he was
intoxicated, and therefore took him to the station house
instead of conveying him to the nearest hospital or infir-
mary. Such a system was fraught with
in thgarileaptrdoabnagbeilri—ty
danger—
for in many instances the lives of persons who fell insen-
sible in the street from apoplexy,ig
be saved by prompt medical attendance.
