Mr. George. Corbishley, a surveyor by profession,
and whose friends are of the highest respectability,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott on a charge
of forging acceptances to different bills of exchange.
Mr. Dawson Poulter, a clerk at the Reform Club-
house, Pall-mall, deposed that he became acquainted
with the prisoner in consequence of his having been
employed at the club-heule occasionally for the last
two years as surveyor to Mr. Gammon, who was the
builder. On the 4th inst. the prisoner came to him,
and presenting him with a bill of exchange for 131.,
asked him if he could get Si. or 61. upon it. He pro.
wised to do so, and he called again on the 6th, when
not having been able to get the bill discounted, he
advanced 51. out of his own pocket. The prisoner
told him he had been doing some business for Mr.
Claydon, the gentleman whose name appeared to the
bill as the acceptor, and he had received it (the bill)
in payment for his services. From information which
subsequently reached him, he (witness) had been in•
duced to make some ibquiries, and these led to the
discovery that the acceptance was a forgery, and he
in consequence gave information to the police, and
the prisoner was apprehended. At the station-house
the prisoner, in his presence, admitted that the name
Wm. Claydon to the bill, as acceptor, was in his
(prisoner's) own handwriting.
Mr. Henry Hammond Claydon, of Bland-street,
Dover-road, said be had known the prisoner about
two years, and that about twelve months ago he and
bis brother William had employed him to survey and
value some property belonging to them in Walworth,
and this was the only transaction they had with him.
His (witness's) brother lived in Yorkshire, and he
had never made any bill of exchange payable in his
brother's handwriting.
In his cross-examination by the prisoner's attorney,
the witness said he had not noticed anything particu-
lar of late in the prisoner's manner, and never saw
him drunk.
' Police-sergeant George Quinnear, IP, deposed
that, having received information of the forgery of
the. bill and a description of the prisoner's person from
Mr. Poulter, the first witness examined, he took him
into custody, and on placing the bill before him at the
station-house he acknowledged that the acceptance
to it was his own handwriting.
Mr. Henry H. Clay don was again called, and deposed
that on the Bth day of last month the prisoner called
on him and said he was very distressed, and asked him
if he could lend him 2/. Witness did so, and the pri•
sonar produced the bill of exchange now handed in,
fur 171., and put it into his hands as security for the
2/. He asked him if it was all right, and he replied
that it was. On the 14th of November the prisoner
called on him again, and said that he had been served
with a writ, and, on his earnest solicitation, he ad-
vanced 11/. 103. more on the bill. On this occasion
the prisoner repeated that the bill was all right, and
that Mr. Richardson was a client of his. When the
bill became due he presented it for payment to Mr.
Richardson, the acceptor, but that gentleman refused
to pay it, and declared the acceptance was a forgery.
In reply to a question from the Magistrate, the
witness said he bad lent the money upon the security
of the bill, believing it to be a genuine one, and that
he should not have given it if be thought otherwise.
In cross-examination the witness said he had not
noticed anything particular in the prisoner's manner
lately, nor had he ever seen him drunk. He (the
prisoner) had been employed by his brother and him-
self only once, and fur what he had then done they
paid him.
Mr. John Richardson, of 7, Upper North-place,
Gray's-inn-road, surveyor, said the acceptance to the
bill produced by the last witness was not in his hand-
writing he had never seen the bill until last Friday,
when it had been presented for payment. He had
never authorized the prisoner or anyone else to put
his name to it. In his cross-examination Mr. Rich-
ardson said he had known the prisoner for about nine
years, but had not seen him lately. Mr. Richardson
further acknowledged that iu March, 1850, he had
paid a bill of 251., to which the prisoner had forged
his acceptance, and at that time the prisoner solemnly
promised not to repeat the serious offence.
Sergeant Quinnear informed the Magistrate that
there were one or two other cases wherein the pri-
soner had obtained loans upon similar bills, but the
parties were not then present.
Mr. ELLIOTT committed the prisoner for trial on
the two charges of forgery above stated, and directed
him to be brought up on a future day to meet the
other charges.
Bail for his acceptance was tendered-and refused.
