CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before Baron PLArr and Alderman Sir P. LAURIE.)
Joseph Davis, 21, clerk, was indicted for forgery.
Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine defended the
prisoner.

The gircumstances under which this charge was preferred
were of rather a peculiar nature. It appeared that the pri-
soner was in the service of Messrs. Gadsden and Son, brokers,
in the City, and that he had received from that firm eight
100/. notes and other moneys to be applied to a particular
purpose, and that he, at the same time, received from
Messrs. Wainwright and Gadsden, another firm in the City,
two blank cheques regularly signed, and which he ought to
have taken to Messrs. Scott, Simpson, and Co., and another
firm in the City, with whom Messrs. Wainwright and Co.
had had transactions for sugar, and he was empowered to fill
up the blank cheques for the amount that might be required
in reference to these transactions; but it appeared that, in-
stead of doing so, he filled up the cheques for the respective
sums of 350/. and 500/., and instead of paying in the cash and
cheques he had received from the other firm, he applied those
cheques for that purpose, and kept the n.oney. When he
was apprehended five 1004 notes and other moneys were in
his possession.

The jury Acquitted the prisoner of the forgery.
He was then arraigned upon an indictment for larceny, in
stealing the eight 1001. notes, and the evidence having been
again produced, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Baron PLATT sentenced the prisoner to be transported
for seven years.
Mr. Ci.naKsox applied for the restoration of the money
found upon the prisoner, and also that a large quantity of
shawls, cigars, and other property, which had been found in
the prisoner's possession, and which no doubt he intended to
have gone abroad with, it being the produce of his plunder,
should be delivered up to the prosecutor.
Mr. Baron PLATT said the property ought to be de-
livered up.

NEW COURT.
(Before the RECORDER and Alderman HuGHEs.)
On the opening of the Court several prisoners who stood
indicted with cases of petty Jai ceny, &c., pleaded guilty.
A young man of respectable appearance, named John
Roberts, who had surrendered himself to answer four separate
charges of embezzlement, was. placed at the bar.
The prisoner was first indicted with embezzlingl . out of
31. 10s., the property of his master, Mr. T. Shepherd, and
which he bad received on his account.
Mr CLARKSON appeared as counsel for the prisoner.
Mr. PARRY, counsel for the prosecutor, stated the case,
from which it appeared that the prisoner was occasionally
employed at Covent-garden, as salesman to the prosecutor,
who is a market gardener.
The requisite evidence having been given, the prosecutor
was cross- examined by Mr. CLARKSON, who elicited from
him that the prisoner had served him faithfully for seven
years. He also admitted that he had turned out the pri-
soner while the late storm was at its height.
The jury considered the evidence insufficient, and accord-
ingly acquitted the prisoner.
A similar charge was preferred against the prisoner upon
which also he was acquitted on the same ground.
The counsel for the prosecution refused to proceed with the
bird indictment, and the prisoner was liberated, a result that
'tilled to give great satisfaction to nearly all present.
