CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY,)
Evan Morris was charged with committing a forgery
on St. Pancras workhouse, under the following circum-
stances:—

It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses,
that upon the evening of the sth of July the prisoner
presented himself at the gate and handed to the porter
an order, purporting to be signed by Mr. Popham, the
surgeon of the district, to the effect that he should be at
once admitted. The porter questioned him, and he
stated that it bore the signature of the brother of Mr.
Popham, whereupon he was admitted. No notice was
taken of the matter until yesterday, when the Relieving
Committee met, and the forgery was discovered. It also
appeared that he had done the same thing upon two si-
MI lar occasions.

The prisoner, in defence, stated that he went to Mr.
Popham, who refused to sign his letter, but directed him
to take it to his (Mr. Popham's) brother, wbo put his
initials to it.

Mr. Popham stated that the initials on the order were
not in the handwriting of his brother. lie had never
given his brother orders to sign any papers in his name.
Mr. COMM remanded the prisoner for a week, in
order that the brother of Mr. Popham might be in at-
tendance.
