THE FORGERY CASE AT BIR-
MINGHAM.

TVEBDAY EVENING.--This morning, the prisoner Dauncey was
brought before the sitting magistrates, charged with forging and
passing a counterfeit cheque, purporting to be one from his uncle,
31r. Dalton, of Watford. The court was crowded with persons
antitfigate hear the case.

Mr. Harding appeared to prosecute the prisoner, and that gentle-
man briefly stated the case as follows :—The prisoner was appre-
hended on a charge of forging and wilfully uttering a cheque for 51.
In the month of April, 1845, the prisoner was on a visit In Bir-
mingham, and during his stay took refreshments, &c., at the Wool-
pack, in Moor-street. Previous to his leaving Birmingham he in-
quired :for his bill, which was handed to him, the amount being
19s. Bd., and in payment thereof tendered a cheque for UN to
Miss George, the daughter of the landlady of the house, but
she • at the time not having the change convenient, pre-
sented the cheque to a gentleman who was in the house
to know if he could oblige her with the change of it, which
he unhesitatingly did. Mrs. George, who was absent while
the above transaction took place, returned, and some
doubts were entertained by her and others in the place as
to whether the cheque was genuine or not, and it was
eventually resolvel to speak to Mr. Dauncey about it. He was ac-
cordingly questioned on the subject, when he declared that it was a
bond fide cheque of his uncle's, and wondered much that they should
Suspect a gentleman like him. He then became outrageous, and
used very bad language. Miss George offered to let him go without
paying the amount of his bill if he would return the 4/. to the gentle-
man who cashed the cheque ; but he refused to do so, and abruptly
left the house, and he had not until lately been seen again. A few
days afterhe left Mrs. George received a note stating that he had
arrived safe at his destination, complimenting them for their kind-
ness, and also informing them that he had written to his uncle, tell-
ing him not to honour the bill yet, and that he was sorry they would
have to keep it for about three Months, as his uncle was on the
Continent. Since then Mr. Stephens had used every exertion to ap-
prehend the prisoner, but he could not. He had gone by several
names. Mr. Harding then called Miss George, who proved the above
facts ; after which,

trausporied.
