George Jones, a person dressed .like a porter, was ,
brought up charged with having; presented a forged ,
order for quicksilverat the warehouse of Messrs. Drew.
Hayward, and Barrow,: of Bush-lane, wholesale drug-
gists.
The prisoner called at the warehouse on the ith inst.,
and presented the order to one of the servants of the
establishment. It purported to be the order of Messrs.
Browning,. of St. John-street, with whom the house had
done business. The forgery was suspected, and the pri-
soner was.desired to call again at three o'clock, when
the quicksilver should be ready. The prisoner then
went off to Messrs. Browning and mentioned that he
had been employed by one of their men to apply for the
quicksilver,and had been promised by him sixpence for
calling; but a Messrs. Drew and Co. had refused to let
bins have the article, he would be obliged by the trifle
of money for which.he had performed the message. One
of the firm gave the prisoner into custody instead of
giving hinethe money.
The prisoner was remanded till this day.
• BOW-STREET.
A woman named Mary Filer was placed at the bar be-
fore Mr. Hall, charged with being cencerned in a Post-
office robbery of 391. 7s. Id., under the following circepn-
stariees:—
On the Ist of July Mr. Grainger, a merchant, in
Pudding•lane, transnlitted through the Post-office a
cheque for
,391. 7s. id., payelble to :dr. Ponsonby, of
Southwick-road, Paddington. 0 i the Bth it was found
that the letter never reached its destination, but on ap-
plication at the bank it appeared that the cheque had
been presented by the firm of M :see and Son, and duly
cashed; Messrs. Moses were neat applied to, and they
stated lat on the 4th instant tee, tong, who gave the
names u Marshall and Sprig„, ordered some clothing of
them, and tendered the cheque in payment of the re-
quired deposit, upon which, alter sending to ascertain
the genuineness of the cheque, they paid the dif-
ference in the amount. I: was arranged that the
goods should be called for •on the following
Thursday. 4,ccurdingly, on that day a buy,
named. Cremer, came to the ehap for the goods,
which •were delivered to bin; hut, by previous arrange-
ment, he was followed and taken into custody. The
bOyehen explaieed that his aunt, the prisoner at the bar,
requested him to go with her to show her the Duke of
York's Monument, in St. James's Park, that morning ;
that he there met and conversed with a postman, and
afterwards sent him to Moses and Sons, to inquire for a
parcel, giving him a shilling for his trouble. The aunt
:was then apprehended, but she declined stating what
she, knew upon the subject. Meanwhile, it having
been ascertained that her nephew was a postman, and
that he had absconded, a reward of 201. is offered for his
apprehension. •
The prisoner was remanded fer further examination.
John 7'homds Witchell, a letter-carrier. in the Poet-
office, we; charged with stealing a letter, containing a
.shilling, two duplicates, and two penny stamps.

morandum book. and was accordingly watched.
He was also remanded.
