neither was it signed. Another for 1,5001., dated
Manchester, 3d May, 1850, drawn by W. Threlfall,
at three months' date, to his own order upon the Hull

ter, 24th April, 1850, drawn by W. Threlfall to his
own order at three months' date on the Hull Flax
and Cotton Mill Company, payable in London, and
accepted as the last bill, endorsed " W. Threlfall."
Mr. J. Rylands, chief manager for the Hull Flax
and Cotton Mill Company at Hull, was next exa-
mined, and proved the several bills purporting to be
accepted by him to be forgeries.
In cross-examination by Mr. Aspinall, witness
stated that the prisoner had bought shares in the Hull
Flax and Cotton Mill Company, but he, witness, did
not know whether he was registered for them or not.
He had had money dealings with the prisoner on ac-
count of the company. Had dealt with him to the
extent of 10,0001. or 15,000/. during the last twelve
months. They held securities of the prisoner's to the
amount of 516,0001. There were 150 proprietors in
the company.
The prisoner was then committed to take his trial
at the next Liverpool assizes. Mr. Rushton refused
to admit the prisoner to bail.
There are various rumours in town as to the extent
of the forgeries, which are variously stated at from
20,0001. to 60,000/. ; but there is a desire to make as
little as possible of the case, on the part of the autho-
rities and the professional gentlemen employed.
