The Alleged Forgeries of Mining Shares.

,go.

The re-examination of Mr. John Permewan,
surgeon, of Redruth, charged with the forgeries and
frauds connected with mining shares, took place
yesterday at 2 o'clock before the Lord Mayor. Tho
prisoner was brought up in custody of detective
officer Spittle, was remarkably self-possessed, and
during the protracted inquiry made repeated sugges-
tions to Mr. G. IL Lewis, his legal adviser.
Mr. Wontner, sen., said that lie now desired to
open another charge against the prisoner—that of
defrauding Mr. Locock Webb, who traded under
the firm of Webb and Co., of the sum of £llBlos.,
by passing himself off as being a person of the name
of Wm. Bullen, and by imposing on Mr. Webb
five shares in a mining stock which had been trans-
ferred from the genuine owner to the supposed
Bullen by means of a forged transfer. As his lord-
ship was already familiar with the facts he (Mr.
Wontner) should not enter into any preliminary
statement, but would content himself with calling
the witnesses to support this charge.
Mr. John Michell was the first witness called, and
proved that he resided at Redruth, and was the
purser or secretary of the Wheal-Buller Mine, and
that on the 10th October last he received the trans-
fer of five shares in that mine, purporting to be
executed by Mr. Arthur W. Harris, of Old Broad-
street, City, to " Wm. Bullen, Esq., Royal Hotel,
Plymouth." The witness registered the transfer in
the usual way, and forwarded the certificate of re-
gistration to Mr. Bullen, at the Royal Hotel, Ply-
mouth. On the 14th October the witness received
another transfer, purporting to be from Bullen to
Webb and Co., of London. On both forms of trans-
fer the name of the printer, Tregaskis, of Redruth,
had been cut off.

Mr. Arthur Wellesley Harris was next called, and
proved that the first transfer produced in this case
was not signed by him, but was a forgery. He knew
nothing of any person of the name of Bullen, or of
Jay, whose name appeared to the transfer as the
attesting witness.

Mr. Wm. Locock Webb was next called, and
proved that he was a stock and share broker at No.
8, Finch-lane, under the firm of Webb and Co. On
the 12th October last he received a letter signed
Wm. Bullen, enclosing the transfer in question, and
requesting him to sell the five shares to the best ad-
' vantage, and to remit the proceeds to the writer
(deducting the commission), at the Royal Hotel,
Plymouth. The witness sold the shares, and for-
. warded, as directed, his cheque for £llB 10s., and
• on the 19th October he received a letter acknow-
ledging the receipt of the cheque.
Mr. G. F. Youlton was the next witness, and
proved that he was one •of the cashiers at Messrs.
Hodges and Co.'s Bank at Devonport. On the 18th
October the cheque produced (that sent by the last
witness) was presented at the bank by the prisoner
now at the bar. He was told that it was not cus-
tomary to give cash to a stranger unless it was en-
dorsed by some respectable person with whom the
bank officials were acquainted, and the prisoner
was toldor
thethat withoutcheque until
this he could
oeln dwneoret have the
cash for
from London. The prisoner seemed annoyed at
this delay, which would be for four or five days, and
in consequence he undertook to write especially to
the London bankers, Messrs. Robarts, Lubbock, and
Co., and to let him have the money a day or two
ninathseelf2alsttthOecbtoatker;
and
pbreisfoorneetrheagausiunalpresented
the advice being that the cheque should be duly
honoured he was paid the amount, £llB 10s., on
signing another cheque for that amount, which the
prisoner did in the witness's presence, in the name
of William Buller. He also endorsed the cheque of
Mr. Webb in the same way. He was certain as to
the identity of the prisoner.
Mr. Wontner said that this was as far as he could
go that day, and asked for a further remand to com-
plete the case prosecuted on the first examination
by Mr. King.

After some conversation between Mr. Wontuer
and Mr. Lewis, in which the Lord Mayor took part,
tho prisoner was remanded until Monday next.
