POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 9.

MANSION-HOUSE. William Henry. Cory
was brought before Sir R. W. Carden, in the
custody of James Brett, the detective officer,
charged with having uttered two forged cheques
upon the London and County Bank.
Mr. Mullens, the solicitor to the Committee of
Bankers for Protection from Forgeries and Frauds,
attended for the prosecution.
Mr. William Baker, proprietor of the Wheat-
sheaf Inn, St. Peter's, near Margate, said—About
six weeks ago the prisoner was introduced to me
by an acquaintance at Margate, and since that
time has been boarding at my house, and lodging
next door to me. I have been paying his bills for
the lodgings, and have advanced him money from
time to time, and he owes me about £35 or £36.
Some time after he had been staying at my house
I received from him this cheque (produced) for
£2O, dated 12th October, 1858, upon the London
and County Bank, in Lombard-street, signed Wm.
R. Cory. He told me he had it from his father. I
subsequently received from him another cheque
for £2O, drawn in the same manner, which he said
he had also received from his father. I told him I
wanted to present them for payment, and he
wished me not to present them lest his father
should think him extravagant.
Mr. Mullens Did he say anything to you
about the Blue-coat school ?
Witness—He did. He told me he could get my
son, who is about ten years old, a presentation for
the Blue-coat School, and he gave to me two letters
purporting to come from his father. He had men-
tioned to me that he had a presentation to Christ's
Hospital himself.
Mr. Mullens here read the following paragraph
from one of the letters referred to :—" Your boy is
admitted into "the Blue-coat School. William has
given him a presentation. I hope he will be a
good boy."
The witness proceeded—Supposing this to be
true, I made the prisoner a present of a watch and
a ring. On the 7th inst. I brought the cheques to
London and presented them at the London and
County Bank, and I found they were worth nothing,
Mr. Mullens—Have you seen the prisoner's father
since you presented the cheques ?
Witness—l have but just left him.
The prisoner—l wish to ask the witness some
questions which I consider to be important to my
defence.

In answer to questions then put by the prisoner,
the witness said—You told me those cheques were
not to be put in circulation till you backed them.
You asked me to make out your bill, to be ready
for your father when he came down. You asked
me to deliver my account to your sister. You kept
me back from presenting the cheques under the
delusion that my son would be presented to tl e
Blue-coat School, _ .

The prisoner—The presentation to the Blue•coat
School is still good.
Witness (to Sir R. W. Carden)—l never asked
the prisoner for the presentation to the Blue•coat
School at all. . _ _

Mr. W. D. Turner, cashier in the London and
County, Bank, said—We have no eustqmer of the
name of William R. Cory.
Brett (the detective officer) said—l took the pri-
soner into custody this morning at Margate, and
I found at his lodgings, next door to the Wheat-
sheaf Inn, the envelope I produce, with the name
" William R. Cory" upon it. I also found upon
him a silver watch, which has upon it an inscrip-
tion as follows :—" William Henry Cory, a present
from Baker."

Mr. Mullens here requested that Sir It. W. Car-
den would remand the case for a few days, and said
he considered it necessary to state that at the next
examination witnesses would be produced to give
evidence to the fact that the prisoner had uttered
a forged cheque to a lady at Brighton.
The prisoner requested that the next examina-
tion might take place on Thursday next, as it would
better - suit the convenience of the witnesses he
should call to attend upon that day.
Sir It. W. Carden at once consented to appoint the
final examination for the day named by the prisoner,
who was then accordingly remanded.
It was mentioned in court that the prisoner had
fought hard at Balaklava, and that his horse had
been killed under him, notwithstanding which he
walked back to the English camp without a wound.

WESTMINSTER.—A very respectably-dressed
good-looking girl, about 18 years of age, entered
the court yesterday, and addressing Mr. Arnold,
the sitting magistrate, said—l want your worship's
advice if you'll be good enough to give it me. lt's
under very disagreeable circumstances.
Mr. Arnold—What are they ?
Applicant—Very disagreeable ; I hardly like to
mention them.

Mr. Arnold—But you must if I am to know them.
Applicant—Weil, I am a servant, and I have had

to leave my serviee very abruptly. My mistress
charged me with putting some things in a pudding.
Mr. Arnold—You could mot make a pudding well
without " puffin.- things in it," could you ?
Applicant=ifell, no, I couldn't, that's true. But
that is not what I mean. She says I put something
wrong in it—something that gave them all the
diarrhcea, and made them very ill. I never put
anything in it. I never made the pudding at all.
Mr. Arnold—What do you want of me ?
Applicant—l left my service, and they will neither
pay me my wages nor let me take away in, things.
She is not right in keeping them, is she ? Is she
right in refusing to pay me my wages ?
Mr. Arnold,--If you left without reasonable cause
I think she would be ; if she unlawfully detains
your clothes I can grant you a summons for that,
but as your remedy for your wages is in the County
Court you had better take both claims there. I can
interfere about the detention of your clothes if you

like.
Applicant—Yes, do if you please.
Mr. Arnold then directed an officer to call on the
mistress and inquire concerning the clothes.

A REVEREND DENOUNCER OF CRINOLINE.—On
Sunday night the Rev. Mr. Rees, of Tatham-street Chapel,
Sunderland, fell foul of the present rage for huge propor-
tions in ladies dresses. His chapel is generally well at-
tended, and he had observed lately that where females were
seated more space was taken up than the chapel could afford
thorn, and so he spoke out, and told them in good, set phrase
that the chapel was free—that all who came could enter any
part they pleased—but that each pew was intended to hold
so many, as they could see plainly marked in figures, and
that persons for the numbers so marked must go in, if they
presented themselves. The sittings, ,
he said were not ar-
ranged for " the present exaggerated proportions of the
ladies ;" yet he could not see that these proportions should
be the means of excluding people from the chapel, or of
hindering the devout worshipper from hearing the gospel.
