TLIE REMARKABLE FORGERY CASE.

BINGULAR DISCLOSURES.

William Salt Hardwick, who was some days ago, to-
gether with Henry Attwell, charged with having com-
mitted a forgery upon the banking-house of Messrs.
Gosling and Co., of Fleet-street, was brought before the
Lard Mayor, at the Mansion-house, upon the charge of
having committed a forgery with intent to defraud the
firm of Messrs. Pemberton, Heywood, and others, of
Lombard-street, bankers, of 1,0001.
Mr. Mullens, the solicitor to the Committee of
Bankers for Protection from Forgeries and Fraud, at-
tended for the prosecution ; Mr. Lewis for the defence.
Mr. W. P. Nicholls, clerk to Messrs. Pemberton,
Heywood, and Co., said—Messrs Stephen Kennard, and
Co., of Austinfriars, keep an account at our house, and
are in the habit of accepting bills payable at our house.
On Saturday, the 14th of June last, the bill of exchange
for 1,0001. produced was presented to me for payment
by John Clemente (one of the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion). I had my doubt about it, and Clemente was de-
tained. It purports to be drawn by L. Roupe upon
Messrs. Stephen Kennard and Co., at thirty days' sight,
to the order of R. Ryley, and purports to be accepted
12th May, 1856, payable at our house. I had gone so
tar as to select the notes with which to pay the bill.
Cross-examined—l have never seen the prisoner to
my knowledge before this day.
SMr. William Inkersole said—l am in the service of
Messrs. Stephen Kennard and Co. The acceptance to
the bill of exchange produced is certainly not the genuine
acceptance of our house. I know Mr. Lavington Roupe,
of Hobart Town, and have constantly seen his signature
to bills, and from my acquaintance with his signature I
state that this is not in his handwriting. It cannot be
meant for an imitation, as his handwriting is very small.
I have seen the prisoner before. About the 27th of May
last be brought to our house the bill of exchange for 2001.
produced, dated Hobart Town, Feb. 16, 1856, drawn
by Thomas D. Chapman and Co., upon Messrs. Stephen
Kennard and Co., payable at 90 days' sight to the or-
der of "William Crossley and C 0.," and W. S. Hard-
wick. The prisoner left that bill at our house for accep-
tance. He asked that it might be accepted then, but I
objected, and told him to leave the bill until next day.
He said he was going out of town, and he would tell his
' bankers Coutts and Co., to call for it. The acceptance
to that bill is the genuine acceptance of our firm.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis-4 cannot say that
the genuine acceptance ever got into the hands of the
prisoner. I don't know who called for it. We do not
take receipts for bills left for acceptance. There is no
firm of the name of Roupe in correspondence with our
house. We do not take any memorandum taken as to
persons who call for accepted bills.
The Lord Mayor—ls it usual with your house to ac-
cept bills drawn from Australia without advice ? Wit-
ness—lt is.

The Lord Mayor—You would accept a bill for 1,0001.
if you knew the signature of the party ? Witness—Yes.
John Clemence said—l am servant to Mr. Joseph
Goff, of" Hale"-park, near Salisbury, Wiltshire. In
the month of June last I was out of a situation, and my
wife and I were then residing at No. 23, Haddington•
street, York-road, Lambeth. I presented the bill
of exchange for 1,0001. at Heywood and Co.'s bank.
In the beginning of the week I was in the city of
London making many inquiries to get a situation,
and on one of those days I went into a ware-
house in the City. I don't know exactly where
that warehouse was, but I think it was somewhere near
the lower side of Cheapside on the right hand side, to-
wards Sir R. Peel's monument. It was in one of the
warehouses there. I made inquiry for a situation as a
messenger at that warehouse. I there saw the prisoner
and the person of whom I made inquiry for a situation. I
was told that they did not know of anything that would
suit me, and I then left the warehouse. Shortly after•
wards some one called me, and I looked round and saw
the prisoner, who called and beckoned to me, and I went
up to him. He asked me if ever I had charge of horses,
and with whom I had been living. I told him I had been
living with Mr. G. Fortescue. He then told me he knew
of a friend of his who wanted a man as a messenger, and
very likely I should hear from him, and he asked me for
my address, and I told him my name and where I lived
in London. I told him I had been a groom. I had been
in the service of Lord Ebrington and Mr. Fortescue. A
day or t wo afterwards I received a letter at my lodgings.
It came on Thursday evening by post. In consequence of
that letter I went on the Friday morning to a house in
De Beauvoir-town, Kingsland-road. A man not the pri-
soner, opened the door to me. I showed to
'him the letter
I had brought. He took it from me and kept it, and did
not return it. He looked at the letter, and said, " This is
concerning my situation." He said to me, "You have
been living with Mr. Fortescue." I had not said anything
to him about Mr. Fortescue. He then made a statement
as to what he wanted me for, and as to who he was. In
consequence of what then took place, I went to see him
again on the Saturday, and he sent me then to the Bank
of England to get change for a 201, note. The note pro-
duced I believe to be that note. It is dated 7th April,
_ _

1856, and numbered 37,212, and has the name of R:
Ryley, De Beauvoir-place, Kingsland, upon it. It was
not written in my presence. He told me also to
buy two ten shilling adhesive stamps. I changed the
note for gold, and bought the two stamps and took
back the money and the stamps to the house at
Kingland. The person I saw at the house at Kings-
land told me to go and get some lunch, and come back
again. I went back accordingly, and that person told me
to take to Ilessrs. Heywood and Co.'s the bill produced
here for 1,0001. I received it with the receipt on the
back already written. I was detained at the bankers',
and went with the officer to Kingsland, but I have not
:eon the person who gave me the bill since that time.

About a fortnight ago I went do 'n with the officer to
Yarmouth, and there saw the prisoner, and pointed him
out as the person who had spoken to me in the City
about the situation.

Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l was told by Hag-
gett, the officer, that I was going about the bill of ex-
change to Yarmouth. He said some people had been
taken at Yarmouth. The officer took me to the station-
house at Yarmouth to see the prisoner. I saw no persons
together. They were in separate cells. I did not see there
the person from whom I received the bill. The person

from whom I received the bill was a middle-aged man,
and did not resemble the prisoner in any way. I never
saw the prisoner except at the time I mentioned and at
Yarmouth.

Re-examined by the Lord Mayor—l recognised the
prisoner when I paw him in the cell at Yarmouth, as the
person whom I had seen in the City, acid to whom my
evidence relates.

Mrs. Ann Sewell, wife of James Sewell, of 23, Had-
dington-street, York-road, Lambeth, said—ln June last
the witness Clemence and his wife were lodging in my
house. I recollect the Saturday in that month when
Huggett brought Clemence to my house. On the Wed-
nesday previous the prisoner called at my house in the
afternoon and inquired if we had a young man living
with us in want of a situation. I said, "Yes ; Mr. Cle-
mence. He is not at home, but I expect him shortly."
When he was going away I asked him if he would be
kind enough to leave his name. He said it was of no
consequence, he did not himself want him, but a friend
of his, and Mr. Clemence would hear from him. On
the Friday the letter came addressed to Mr. Clemence.
I went to Yarmouth and into the goal there. I was
shown into the yard where there were two people walk-
ing about, and I immediately pointed out the prisoner,
wno was one of them, as the person who had called at
my house to inquire for Mr. Clemence.
_ _

-Cross-examiced by Mr. Lewis—There was a younger
man than the prisoner walking about the yard. I did
not go into the yard at first, but looked through a
grating, and did not recognise him then. I was not told
that the prioner was the person charged with this of-
fence, but was !eft to identify him myself.
The Lord Mayor—Have you any doubt that the pri-
soner is the person who called at your house to •inquire
for Clemente ? Witness—l have no doubt of it.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cole, of 3, Belchamp-villas, Bucking.
ham-road, Kingsland, said—On Wedncz-lay, the 11th of
June, a man who stated his name to be Ryley came to
my house to hire a sitting room and bed room, and gave
me ss. on account of a week's rent. He said that he
would not sleep in the house till the Monday. He came
for about an hour or two each of the two or three suc-
ceeding days. On the Thursday I recollect that the wit•
uess Clemence came to him, and also on the Friday and
Saturday. On the last day Clemence called twice, and
after he went out the second time Ryley went out, but
never returned to the house.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l never saw the pri-
soner before this day. He is not Ryley. I do not re-
member that any one but Clemence called upon Ryley.
Clemence did not stay long when he called. Perhaps it
was 20 minutes or half an hour after Clemence went out
that Ryley went away. The distance from our house to
Liombard-street is about two miles and a quarter.
Mr. John S. Peter said— I am in the service of Messrs.
Dufour and Co., of 19, Gresham-street, at the corner of
Wood-street, Cheapside. I have seen the prisoner several
times at our house. We have known him as carrying on
business at Hobart Town, Australia. He was at our
warehouse on Tuesday, the 10th of June, and paid over
the sum of money mentioned in the receipt produced,
which is in my handwriting.
Cross examined by Mr. Lewis—The prisoner did not
act as agent to our firm in Australia. If he had sent for
goods, we should have only trusted him. We have given
him credit to the amount of between 2001. and 300/ ,
and the money he paid that day was the balance of the
account be owed to us. I am not aware that we have
sent him samples except when he wanted them. It is
very likely we may have put some samples of lace and
stockings in the packages we have sent out to him. I
think he required us to send out samples of something
he could do business with in Australia.
Mr. R. A. Bailey, clerk in the Acc mutant's Bank-
note Office, said—l 'produce a 201. note, No. 37,212,
dated 7th April, 1856, which was brought into the Bank
of England on Saturday, the 14th June last, in the name
of R. Ryley, De Beauvoir-place, Kingsland, which I
changed for gold.
Mr. J. H. Langhorn, cashier to Messrs. Puget and Co.,
of St. Paul's Churchyard, bankers, said—The 201. note
produced was given out by me for gold to some person
who said he applied from Mr. Wheeler, the manager of
the business of Mr. Walker, who keeps an account
with us.
Mr. Wheeler proved that be bad not sent any person
to ,etet the 201. for gold.
Mrs. Meek, of 20, Ne'son-square, Blackfriars-road,
said : Iu May last, the prisoner and his wife came to
lodge at my house. They had three rooms. I was at
home when the officer searched those rooms.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—The prisoner's wife
continues to reside in my house.
George Scott (the detective officer) said—On the 18th
of September I searched the rooms at the house No. 20,
in Nelson-square, and found the receipt produced and
the bill of Exchange I produce for 100/., drawn from
Melbourne.
Mr. Mullens—That is my case, my lord.
Mr, Lewis asked whether there was anything in th

evidence at all likely to touch his. sib ent ; or whether his
lordship thought it would be necessary for him to make
any observations upon what had bee n stated.
Mr. Mulleins said the evidence was quite strong
enough to justify the commit tal of the. prisoner for trial,
and he commented upon the chk: yin of circumstances,
which he submitted put it beyond all doubt that the
prisoner had been a principal cone octor in the affair, and
had exercised a great deal of IT iget uity for the purpose
of evading detection.
The Lord Mayor said he was afraid that there was a
number of cases to which the power of the magistrates to
act as judge and jury did not extend. He considered
that it was his duty to send the present case to a higher
tribunal, and he would d o so without making any com-
ment likely to subject bin ► to the imputation of prejudg-

ing.
The prisoner was then ad dressed in the accustomed
form by his lordship, art, d h avm,g said that he Iwould
leave his case in the hands of h is solicitor, was committed
for trial.
Henry Atwell, who was charged with having, in con-
junction with W. S. Hard wick, forged upon the house
of Gosling and Co., the ba rakers, was then placed by his
side at the bar, and they were both committed for trial
for that offence.

TILE CRYSTAL PALACE FRAUDS.

EXAMINATIt )N OF ROBSON.

[The following appeared in part of our impression of
yesterday.]
At the Lambeth Police Court, yesterday, William
James Robson, who lately held a responsible situation
in the secretary's office at the Crystal Palace, was
brought up in custody o f Superintendent Lund, of
the P division, and plat 3d at the bar before Mr. Elliott,
charged with forging an, I uttering a number of Crystal
Palace shares.
The prisoner, who wr is dressed in a travelling poncho,
and bad a far cap on, R Pas accommodated with a seat.

Mr. Grove, the secretary, and other officers of the
company, were present,.
Mr. Hawkins, instrucf,ed by Messrs. Johnson, Far-
quharson, and Co., for the prosecution, stated that
the prisoner in 1853 was principal clerk in the transfer
office, and had charge of the books and the scrip cer-
tificates of persons who h ad left shares for security at the
office. He continued in the company's service till 19 th Sept.
when he absconded and was subsequently apprehended
at Elsinore, where be was residing under the name
of Smith. On 19th September some irregularities were
brought to his ztotice, which he said were more ima-
ginary than res,,l, and the learned gentleman having
stated the motive of the prisoner's absence, entered into
the particulars ol" the charge, one of a series of frauds,
which was that of having fraudulently disposed of 50
shares, the property of Mr. Robert Robertson, near
Leeds, deposited fo r safe keeping with the company,
which will be found in the following evidence :
Mr. Grove, secretary to the company, deposed that
the prisoner was in the service of the company. He
entered into it in Ai oil, 1853, and continued in it until
the 19th September last. He was the chief clerk in the
transfer department, and had the custody of the transfer-
book and the r3gistry of the shares. Certain
share certificates were in the office belonging to
individuals who had not taken them away, and
they were in the prisoner's custody. Mr. R. Robertson
of Leeds was the owner of 51 preference shares. The
last time he saw the, prisoner was on the 20th Septem-
ber, when he left witt'l Mr. Fasson to investigate the
irregularities.

Mr. George Fasson, treasurer and registrar of the
Crystal Palace Company deposed that Mr. Robertson
was owner of 51 shares, No. 199,499 to 199,500 inclu-
sive, share certifioates had been prepared for them. On
the 20th of September he was present with Mr. Groves,
when the prisoner was charged with irregularities,
and he left with prisoner •to go to his resi-
dence at Kilburn to have the matter explained. Upon

their arrival at Kilburn he left the room as if to
procure the materials for the necessary explana-
tion, having first said something about lunch ; he
did not see him afterwards. Before leaving the room he
(prisoner) spoke to his wife about some transfers. Before

witness left the house a note was handed to him written
by the prisoner, stating that he (witness) was not to be
under any alarm, that prisoner's property was over 30,000/.,
and that all would be right, but he admitted having done
wrong in letting Mr. Remington have shares that were
in his possession for money he required ; that he (pri-
soner) was gone into the City and witness and pri-
soner's groom was to follow him. He then left and
consulted his solicitor.

Mr. Clement, stock broker, of Lothbury, deposed
that he sold the eight shares referred to in September,
and handed the money over to the prisoner.
Police-sergeant Coppin deposed that he apprehended
the prisoner at Copenhagen on Tuesday last, where he
was residing under the name of Edward Smith. He
said to him, " Mr. Robson, I am come about the affair
of the Crystal Palace." He replied, "I am very
sorry. I know I have done wrong, and I must suffer
the law." Witness asked him if he had any objection
to accompany him to London, and he said "No ; be
should be very glad to get back." Witness

told him to prepare for leaving. On him
was found 35 dollars in Danish money, and other small
Danish coins, and a gold watch and chain ; in his box
witness found some silver spoons, forks, a diamond ring,
and other articles. He also found on him his passport
and passport book. Prisoner's sister was at
Copenhagen with him, and travelled in the name of
Agnes Smith.
Mr. Fasson proved the handwriting, " E. T. Smith,"
on the passport produced was the prisoner's.
Superintendent Lund deposed that on the prisoner
being brought this morning to the police station he said
to him, " Mr. Robson, this is a bad job." Prisoner said,
" Yes, I'm miserably guilty. I'll make all the repara-
tion I can before I go. I hope they won't confine me
for life solitary, but I don't mind being transported,
for I deserve it. I carried a ring about me at least
three months with prussic acid in it, and I intended to
destroy myself, but something came across my mind as
though it were from the Almighty, and the rea-
son I did not do it was not to make my
poor unhappy wife's latter days miserable, and
I threw the ring into the sea ;" he went on to say,
" I give over all my property to the Crystal Palace
Company ;" and he said he had lent money to the ex-
tent of nearly 3,0001.
This was the whole of the evidence adduced, on
which

Mr. Hawkins asked for a committal.
Mr. Elliott said he thought the case was not corn•
pleted, and should adjourn it.
Mr. Mount, solicitor, who was present, addressed his

worship, and said that a fiat in bankruptcy had been
issued against the prisoner, and as a messenger from
the Bankruptcy Court was in attendance, and the
articles produced b y Sergeant Coppin were not the pro-
duce of the fraud complained of, he asked that they
might be handed over to that officer.
Mr. Hawkins said he hoped the lion. magistrate would
not make the order that day.
Mr. Elliott accordingly declined.
The prisoner, who was enveloped in his poncho dur-
ing the whole of the time of the examination, and held a
white pocket handkerchief to his face, on the advice of
his solicitor, Mr. Lane, who watched the case fur him,

declined saying anything.
The further hearing of the case was adjourned to
Monday, and the prisoner was removed in custody of
Mr. Superintendent Lund.

TESTS OF PURE WATER.—The following practical
rules for testing the wholesomeness of water will be
useful :-1. The water must be perfectly colourless and
transparent, leaving no deposit when allowed to stand
undisturbed. 2. It must be quite devoid of smell. 3.
When litmus paper is immersed into the water, the
colour of the paper must remain unaltered. 4. The
water when boiled must not become turbid. 5. About
half a table spoonful of the fluid being evaporated to
dryness on the spirit lamp, there must be a slight resi•
due left at the bottom of the spoon not turning black
from organic matters. 6. The residue obtained by
evaporating to dryness a sample of the water in a fierce-
Tam cup upon the tea-urn, must not become black on the
addition of a solution of sulphuretted hydrogen.—Dr.
Marcet in Medical Times and Gazette.
