SENTENCE ON THE LATE SECRETARY 0,,°
/
ti
THE SHEIFFILLD AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY.--
Wednesday week, Charles Thompson, late secretary t.
the Sheffield and Manchester . Railway Company, co,
vieted'of forgery at I..Y.aa cheater, was placed at the be r.
He said, in a faltering voice, "My Lord, I admit 1,1 lc
justice of the verdict, but can- assure you that at tl
if
time of doing it I had not ,`he moat remote intention .
fraud. An unfortunate speculation in railway slier. '5
was the cause of it. I had several gentlemen in Ceo 6
at the time of ,my trial who would have stated th
tt
up to that period I bore an unble.arished eharactt
and I now . throw myself on yo.ar merciful cog'
sideration on account of my poor wife and dui"
dren, who, through my sin and folly, re thrown. hellr
less to the world." The LOrd Chic f Justiee said'
"You have been convicted, on the elecrest:evidence °
.;
of forging and uttering a receipt. It was' forged. 0
uttered in fraud of those who employed you. Illave
doubt of the truth of what you say about wits esses
to
character, because no one who had not a good c haracter
would have held such a situation. I must ow n it el
not appear to me that that character makes an; thing
all in your favour. On the contrary, it shows at tb„s
character was maintained through outward appearlfical
when your principle had given way. • You :lay 10c1
an unfortunate speculation that led you into it n
believe that hardly any person willingly commits 5 6
act of this kind without some such eXcuee. He 1.011)e
to obtain gain by. what he is doing, hopes lirat no
will be found out, and that at some future tame he I'
be able to set harmless those who have suffereci. I ef°l'
not at all allow this character to make any Ciffe !ace: r
The crime of forgery is one of so dangerous a a at, ire ti;
_property and persons, and is accompanied with so Pile 5°
of fraud and of concealment, and, in your case, of
miler; treachery, that lam bound to put the whole )I.`;
of the law into effect.- it is with the greatest regret; t,be.
I hear you have a family, but the only question woe r
between a loeg term of, transportation and the I, e.
mainder of your life; but I think the example of
severe punishment m4;ht to be made in this case. 1
it due to the country ai; large to show that the law e-c
templates with that degme of reprobation, a crime col
.mitted on those who coatided their interests in y°
hands." The sentence or' the Court, was, that
tJ
prisoner should be transport3d for life. He fainted
as he Was removed from the ba.".—Cheltenharn
