CRIMINAL COURT-FRIDAY.

OLD COURT.

Benjamin Martin was indicted for forging and uttering two
bills of exchange, amounting to 191. odd each, with intent to
defraud George Edward Stagg.
The prosecutor was a file manufacturer at Sheffield, and
came some time since to town to get orders. The prisoner
called upon him at the Thatched House Tavern, in the Strand,
and after some conversation in reference to busines3, he ob-
tained the prosecutor's address at Sheffield. He at the same
time said that he was in partnership with a person in the Cus-
toms, and that that person could materially serve the prose-
cutor in the way of business. The prosecutor subsequently
left town for home, and shortly afterwards the prisoner sent an
order for some goods, which the prosecutor executed. The
prisoner some time afterwards arrived at Sheffield, and gave
a further order for goods. Both orders came to 371. odd, in
payment for which the prisoner tendered the two bills in ques-
tion. The prisoner gave a description of the drawer, acceptor,
and indorser of the bills. The name of the drawer was Wat-
son, that of the indorser Haydon, and that of the acceptor
Coleman. These parties were described by the prisoner as
shipowners and responsible persons ; and the bills were made
payable at Childs'. When, however, they came due, they
were dish, noured ; and the clerk at Childs' said that no such
persons as those described on the bills had any account at
Childs'. The prisoner vs as subsequently taken into custody.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up,
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of uttering the bills
knowing them to be forged.

NEW COURT.
CONSPIRACY.-THE MARQUIS OF DOWNSHIRE V. TEUTON.
(Continued from our First Edition of yesterday.)

After the Jury had re-assembled—
Mr. JoNes objected to the form of the indictment. The
Noble Prosecutor was described merely by WI Irish Title,
and according to the cases, having dispensed with the English
Title, the name and surname ought to have set out with Esquire,
with the affix of commonly called the Marquis of Downshire.
The RECORDER said, according to the Act of Union all
Peers of Ireland had all the privileges of the Peerage in Eng-
land, with the exception of sitting in the House of Lords.
The objection was overruled.

Mr. JONES then addressed the Jury for the prisoner,
and contended that however foolishly or imprudently
the prisoner had acted, the question for their conside-
ration was whether he had knowingly and willingly
entered into a conspiracy to libel the Noble family of Down-
shire, with a view to extort money. Reitterhoffer was the
originator of the whole of the unfortunate business, and, from
the description given of him by the Noble prosecutor,
he appeared to be a man who could easily lead
astray such a man as stood at the bar. Miller was
not worthy of credit, and without his evidence there was
no case against his client, and the Jury would have much
pleasure in restoring the prisoner to the exercise of his honest
industry.
Several witnesses were. called, who gave the prisoner an ex-
cellent character.

The Learned RECORDER then charged the Jury, who re-
turned a verdict of Guilty generally, after having retired
forty minutes.
The defendant was ordered to withdraw for a short time.

The COURT sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned for
fifteen months in the Penitentiary at Millbank, and that he
enter into his own recognizance in the sum of 2001. to be of
good behaviour for the term of five years then ensuing.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Yesterday Samuel John Greene, the lad who on the Ist of
this month stole the check for 2,4991. 9s. in the counting_
house of Messrs. Rothschild and Co., was brought before the
LORD MAYOR by John Forrester, the officer, for re-examina-
tion. The Messrs. Rothschild were present during the exa-
mination, which was conducted by Mr. Master, of the house of
Bush and Master, solicitors to the Committee of Merchants
and Bankers for protection against Forgeries and Robberies.
The prisoner, who is a youth of extremely prepossessing ap-
pearance, was not attended by any attorney.
Mr. Master having stated the charge, said that the parti-
culars of the robbery having been advertised, the prisoner was
apprehended, and there was evidence to bring home the
offence to him beyond all doubt. The check which the pri-
soner was charged with having stolen was drawn upon the
banking-house of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, where he
had received large notes, which he afterwards exchanged at
the Bank of England for smaller notes and sovereigns, and all
the notes particularised as having been given in change were
found in his possession.

Mr. Edward Turner, principal clerk to Messrs. Rothschild,
stated that a check-book was on the Ist of October given to
the prisoner, who was a clerk in the house, in order to be
filled up by him for the purposes of the house for the 2d of
October.—( Here a check was handed to the witness.) The
check produced was dated the Ist of October, although it
ought to have been dated the 2d. After the check-book was
signed by the partners the prisoner had an opportunity of ex-
tracting one check. In addition to the erroneous date was the
omission of the words "and company," which the prisoner
ought to have written. Witness, in counting over the checks
which the prisoner had handed over to him, found, upon com-
parison with the margin, that ene was missing, forty-seven
checks having been found there instead of forty-eight. The
firm had not entertained the slightest suspicion that the pri-
soner bad stolen the check, but ascertained the fact next day
upon sending to the banking-house.
Mr. J. Bryant Priestly, Cashier at the banking-house of
Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, said that the check for
2,4991., bearing date the Ist of October, and signed by the
partners, was presented to him on the said Ist of October,
and he paid it in two Bank of England notes for 1,0001.
each, one for 300/., one for 1001., one for 501. one for 401.,
and one for 5/., and the rest in sovereigns. He believed that
the prisoner was the person who presented the check, and had
seen him before.
Mr. Josiah Field, Cashier in the Bank of England, stated
that on the 2d of October he changed two 1.0001. notes, with
notes of an, following amount—tea at 1001 , fifteen of 50/.
fifteen of 101., and twenty of 5/
Mr. Master observed that the bank notes given in ex-
change for the two 1,0001. notes at the Bank of England had
been found in the prisoner's possession, and the note paid to
