BOW-STREET.

UTTERING A FORGED NOTE.—This morning a re'
epectably attired roar, named William Sumnent, was
placed at the hat, before Mr. Henry, oo remand, charged
with uttering a forged 51. Bank of England note.
From the evidence of Mr. Allceck, the landlord of the
Sovereign public house, Upper St. Martin's.lane, it ar
geared that a few days ago the prisoner entered his
hpuse and, having partaken of some brandy and sods
water, tendered the note in question to the bat.
maid in payment. She, not having sufficient cash
to change the note, called to him in the csllar,
telling him change for a 51. note was required.
On arriving at the bar he received the note,
and from its appearance he felt satisfied it was a forgery.
He took the note up stairs for the purpose of comparing.,
it with a genuine one, and further to test it, he applied
some water to the mark in both notes. The effect was
on the genuine one the watermark became more visible,
rut on the spurious one it completely obliterated it.
ro make assurance' doubly sure, he sent the note to
neighbour, by whom it was returned as a very bad one.
The answers to the questi ns he put to the prisoner not
being at all satisfactory, he gave him into custody.
The prisoner protested his innocence, and said he di"
not know the note was a spurious one.
Mr. Henry said that might he so, but it was a veil
suspicious circumstance that when the prisoner was
'asked to write his name and address on the note he wrote
.a fictitious one. The accounts, too, as to how the note
came int.) his possession were far from satisfactory.
The prisoner again protested his innocence, and said
the note now produced was not the note he gave to the
barmaid ; his good note had been exchanged for the pre'
sent forged one. He certainly took the pen in his band
to write his name, but be did not do so.
The magistrate reminded the prisoner of the statement
be bad made to the barmaid. He distinctly told her be
had written his name on the note. Hp* ever, as the,
prisoner said he was a respectable man, and :innocent of
the present charge., he would give him eidirfacilitY
praying it. He should therefore remand the case td
ue.3.day next.
