11%148 CASE OF CAPTAIN RICIIA.RDSON.—The unex-
ei;4ed termination of one of the most extraordinary
,e,a of alleged forgery that has occurred for some years
,„‘l,e commercial world, by the grand jury sitting at the
V,ilital Criminal Court having ignored the bill which
tlza; been preferred against Captain William Richardson,
sea ~St cause every fact connected with that event to be
" with interest. Although committed by the Lord
At'Y, or on the charge of forgery, Messrs. Bushe and
it :dins, the solicitors to the prosecution, considered that
1'" e nuld be advisable to have two counts introduced in
ndictment, the first for forgery, and the second for
tE„li,ild, so that the prisoner might not escape upon any
"o„"iirlical informality. To support the two counts it was
necessary to have the names of no less than thirty
hitinesses upon the back of the bill, and to prevent any
piture in their attendance, Wednesday afternoon, at half-
jte,t two o'clock, was fixed upon to go before the grand
in, Y. 11t half-past two o'clock the first witness was called
aild while under examination, it was discovered that
tea, witness was iabsent, who, fortunately, turned out
ths the principal one, and to go on was to abandon
the ''a
Prosecution ; but as there was a probability
that be would arrive, witness after witness was mar-
tn:"ed in the absence of the missing witness, while
NlleB,sengers were dispatched to various places fur him,
, it was stated, had to come from Brighton, and to
Die terminus on that line more than one person was elis-
RDi7ed in the hope that he would be found in time.
t
length the last, making the twenty-ninth witness,
Rtiia Called in, and upon the yeoman who attends on the
gad
jury, inquiring if there were any further wit-
ted" to be examined, a mournful negative was the
Whether the absent witness was bound over in
ats l'icognizances to prosecute could not be ascertained,
Upon
events he was not called upon his recognizance.
411 this result being known, and as the grand jury
Mnilei'liately afterwards broke up, Messrs. Bushe and
the os, and Mr. Fry, solicitor to the company, entered
1)„, grand jury room, where they expressed their sur-
..."se in strong terms. Some of the members of the
rod jury who happened to remain said the reasonh
eh caused them to come to the conclusion which
Cheque
did was, that they had attentively examined the
clue, and that they were perfectly satisfied that the
tennever een written, nor ad any al-
ration been made; that b
they were satisfiedh it w that as
131ank cheque, and that it was in evidence that the
118011er had authority to fill up blank cheques; that
CnY had caused Mr. Stephenson to be called twice.—As
eoliPtain Richardson is discharged, he, as a matter of
...lira% will retain the 3,2251. taken from his possession.
