or a quarter to five o'clock, a cheque for 1401. was pre-
sented to him over the counter by a youth who appeared
to be 15 or 16 years of age. Witness paid the cheque in
two 501. notes. the numbers of which were 90,858 and
84,837, and the date 6th January, and in 40 sovereigns.

Mr. John Fynton, of 79, Nt ark-lane' wine-merchant
inn'''thanedcothne:
stant habit of seeing the prisoner write, and believed the
writing in the cheque to be the prisoners.' No portion of
the cheque was in witness's handwriting. The prisoner
requently filled up documents for witness at the Cus-
ftom-house, but could not have access tohis cheque-book,
which he always kept locked in his drawer. Witness
frequently left out a cheque in a drawer in the counting-
house, filled up for any person to whom it was to be
delivered.
Mr. R. J. Sykes, clerk in the issue department of the
Bank of Eugland, stated that he paid gold for the note
numbered 84,837, for 501., to a youth, who, he believed,
wrote the name on it at the counter.
John Forrester, the officer, stated that he apprehended
the prisoner in Mr. Fenton's counting-bouse, and found
on him some pieces of paper on which Mr. Fenton's
name had been imitated in pencil and in ink.
At the request of Mr. Bush, the solicitor to the Com-
mittee of Bankers for Protection from Felonies and
Frauds, the prisoner was remanded.
Thomas Smith was charged with having stolen a
number of coffee-warrants.
The prisoner was remanded.
LAMBETH:
RAISING THE WIND TO ATTEND A MA SQUERADE.—
Mary Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor, two well-dressed
young women, the former the wife of a respectable
engraver, and the latter her sister-in-law, were placed
at the bar, before Mr. Norton, on the following charge:
On the preceeding afternoon the prisoners entered the
shop of Mr. Frazer, a baker in the Wandsworth-road,
and called for two half-quartern loaves, and tendered a
sovereign in payment. Mrs. Frazer gave change of the
sovereign, keeping a shilling out of it in payment for
the bread. The prisoners objected to pay 10d. for the
two half-quartern loaves, and also said they preferred
country bread; upon which Mrs. Frazer gave them back
the sovereign, and they returned what she conceived to
be the whole of the change she had given them, and
left the shop. They had not gone many minutes, when
Mrs.Frazer,suspecting all was not right, she counted the
silver the prisoners had returned, and found it to be five
shillings short. She then went in search of the prisoners.
and saw them about to enter the passage leading to the
steam-boat pier, Nine Elms. She charged them with
robbing her of five shillings, when one of them, ad-
dressing the other, exclaimed, " You know you have
taken it by mistake, give it back to the lady." They then
gave Mrs. Fraser two half-crowns back; but a police-
constable coming up at the time, took them into custody,
and took possession of the two half-crowns. After
leaving the shop of Mrs. Frazer, the prisoners went into
the shop of Mr. Walters, a cheesemonger in the same
neighbourhood, and by a similar trick " pinched " half-
a-crown, but Mr. Walters having discovered the fraud
immediately after they left his shop, brought them back,
and one of them placed a half-crown on the counter,
where it was found. Having no doubt, however, that
they were dishonest characters, Mr. Walters sent a con-
stable to watch their proceedings. When taken into
custody, the prisoner Mary charged Elizabeth with tak-
ing the money, and therefore that it was her fault, and
the latter retorted and said that the offences had been
committed by Mary for the purpose of enabling her to
have a dress in Oakley-street to appear at the masque-
rade at Vauxhall Gardens.
