CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Ths Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

Jacob Henry Cohen, picture-frame maker, was indicted
for feloniously forging and uttering an order for the pay-
ment of .£1 ls. with intent to defraud.
The evidence wont to show that the prisoner was em-
ployed in the manufacture of picture frames, which, on
completion, ho sold to the London Stereoscopic Com-
pany, Cheapsido. The circumstance which led to the
prisoner's apprehension was, that early in the month
of July a bill for the payment of the amount charged in
the indictment was presented by him to the cashier of the
company, and it appearing to bear the genuine initials of
Mr. R'ed, the manager, it was paid. It was shortly
afterwards digcuvered to bo a forgery, and also
that the goods charged fur had not been supplied.
Ur. Reed at once communicated with Mr. Nuttage, one of
the principals of the establishment, wh ) directed that the
p isoner should bo given into custody and prosecuted.
One of the witnesses named Ileild swore that he had seen
the prisoner making copies of Mr. it)ed's initials, and
another witnesa named Bannister spoke to the conversation
which took place at the Dolphin public-house, Milk-street,
where the prisoner was taken into custody.
The defence set up was a total denial of the forgery, and
further, the counsel on behalf of the prisoner stated he
should call several witnesses to prove that the initials to
the bill wore not forgeries, that Iteed had signed the bill
himself, and that, therefore, the whole prosecution was a
deep laid scheme of Reed's to prevent the discovery of his
own deficiencies.

The witness was subjected to a cross-examination by Mr.
Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecution.
The following withesses were then examined on the part
of the prisoner :
David Cohen said ha was the brother of the prisoner,
and that he knew Mr. Reed. Ile spoke of being present
when three maple frames and 12 others were ordered by
Mr. Reed, and also that he was present after that—one
evening in a publichouse opposite the Ludgate Station in
Bridge-street, where he saw Reed sign the invoice for
the sum of £1 ls. On another occasion he took a
letter to Mr. Reed at the Stereoscopic Company, and after
Mr. Reed had opened it ho saw him put his initials to the
invoice which the letter contained; he returned it to him,
telling Lim to direct his brother to attend for payment on
the following day.
Those two invoices form the ground of the present
prosecution, the allegation of Mr. Reed being that nothing
of the kind ever took place.
The case was proceeding when we went to press.
THE FORGERIES ON THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

The grand jury have returned seven true bills against
William Henry Hodgson for forgeries on the Bank of
England.

TEE MURDER IN TEE KENT ROAD.

The trial of Louis Bordior for the murder of Mary Ann
Snow will take place to-morrow before Mr. Baron Martin.
The prosecution will bo conducted by the Treasury, but
as no counsel has yet been retained by the prisoner
it appears to be the impression that he will
plead guilty. In such cases the Court inva-
riably impresses the prisoner with the awful con-
sequences of such a proceeding, and advises the full
hearing of the evidence the prosecution intend to bring
forward to prove the charge. In the event, however, of the
prisoner persisting in his plea of guilty there is no power
to prevent him doing so.
