6, Upper Rupert-street, carrying on business as a provi-
sion dealer, was charged with being concerned with others
not in custody, in defrauding the complainant of butter
and cheese of the value of VB, and forging an order for
424 f. 80c., in payment of the same.
The prisoner was apprehended by Sergeant Rogers, 6 C,
a very experienced officer, and who speaks French fluently.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the prosecutor; and Mr. Albert acted as inter-
preter.
From the evidence, which was only partly entered into
to-day, it appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Francois
Durien, a cheese merchant, at Neufchatel, having received
a communication from 5, Upper Rupert-street, signed Ver-
deny and Co., requesting samples to be sent there, and after-
wards received another request that goods might be sent,
which was done, and afterwards received a communieation
containing a draft for 424 f. 80c., which, being sent to the
house in Paris on which it was made payable, it was re-
turned protested.
Mr. Alfred Villers, of 47 Weston-street, Bermondsey,
cheese merch•nt, said he went to Messrs. Minores and
Cockerell, 16, Water-lane, City, whose names were on the
draft, and nothing was known of it. •
Sergeant Rogers, 6 C, proved apprehending the prisoner,
and on telling him the charge in French, he said he had
made the draft to oblige others, and that the firm Verdeny
and Co. was himself. He also admitte i receiving the goods
from Neufchatel and afterwards asked to see the prosecu-
tor, that he might arrange with him.
Remanded.
