POLICE INTELLIGENCE--This Day.

BOW. STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST A GENTLE-
MAN.-Mr. Francis John Rogers Sheridan, lately
holding a commission in the army, appeared in dis-
charge of his recognizances charged with obtaining
money by false pretences.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Montagu Wil-
liams appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. G.
Lewis, jun., defended.
It appeared that iu the early part of the month of
January in the present year an application was
was made to Williamson, the prosecutor, a person
in the habit of advancing money upon mortgage,
&c., for a loan of £250, to be advanced to the de-
fendant upon two bills of £l5O and £lOO respec-
tively, drawn upon him by Mr. Rogers, a soli-
citor. Mr. Williamson required further security,
and was informed that Mr. Sheridan would at the
death of his father become entitled to the estate of
Frampton Court, Dorset, the property of his father,
Mr. R. B. Sheridan, M.P. for Dorchester. The de-
fendant was required to make a statutory declara-
tion. He accordingly declared before Mr. Smith, a
solicitor and a commissioner for administering oaths
is London, residing at Harcourt-buildings, Temple,
that he was heir to the estate of Frampton
Court, and that his elder brother (Mr..R. B. Sheri-
dan, jun.) had no interest in that property; and it
was now contended that the defendant was not
heir, his brother being at that time alive, and also
that it was possible that the brother, who was a
married man, might have issue, in which case the
defendant would not be the heir. In the course of
the examination it came out that interest at the
rate of 60 per cent. was charged on the loan, and
that of the £l5O a portion was to be in money,
and a portion to the amount of £5O to be in wine,
which last was never supplied. It appeared also
that the money was paid over to the solicitor,
Rogers, and it did not appear that more
than £B3 ever reached the defendant. It
was admitted that after the issue of the warrant an
attempt was made to compromise the case. For
the defendant it was contended that the declara-
tion was substantially and virtually true, as it be-
came literally true in a month by the death of
his elder brother. his father, Mr. R. B.
Sheridan, M.P., stated that four years ago he
informed the defendant that he should be his heir
conditionally on his good conduct, and he had since
led the defendant to believe that he adhered to that
intention. His elder son, defendant's brother,
had no interest in the property at the time
the declaration was made, as he had sold
his life interest, which the father had bought, nor
could Mr. R. B. Sheridan, jun., have been supposed
to have issue, as he had been for several years
separated from his wife, she living in London, and
he in Italy. It appeared also that before the appli-
cation for the summons or warrant at the court a
similar application had been made at Guildhall
and refused.

A great deal of vituperation, and wholly irrele-
vant matter, was imported into the case.

Mr. Lewis, jun., contended that the declaration
was morally true, and certainly not intentionally
false, and stigmatised the prosecution as an attempt
to extort money from the defendant's family, who
indignantly refused to consent to any attempt to
compromise.

Mr. Flowers thought there was a prima facie case
to go before a jury, but he certainly should not,
after what he had heard from Mr. Le Nis, and which
made a great impression on him, hold Mr. Sheridan
to bail. He should only require him to enter into
his own recognizances to appear to take his trial.
The defendant then left the court surrounded by
his friends.
