SECONDARIES!-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. S.condury ?OTTER.)
WYATT AND ANOTHER V. DALE.

The plaintiffs in this action are wholesale grocers in
the City, and the defendant is a country dealer. The
action was brought to recover the sum of 4/. 9s. 61, the
balance (San account for goods sold. Defendant pleaded
that he was not indebted.
The evidence relied on for the defence was that the
business had been given up to defendant's son. On the
contrary, it was proved that after one payment of 5/.
defondaut called personally on the plaintiffs, and not
seeing them instanter, expressed his anxiety to pay the
money, as he VI AS afraid that it would " burn a hole in
his pocket."
The jury appeared to think that this was a positive ad-
mission of the justice of the claim, and gave a verdict for
the amount claimed.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COUR7'.
(Before Mr. Justice MauLE.)
Thomas Banks aged 42, a clerk, remanded from last
session, was this morning placed at the bar on an indict-
ment charging him with feloniously forging an order for
payment of money to defraud James Robert Abbott.
Mr. Robinson conducted the case for the prosecution,
and Mr. Parry defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor, Mr. Abbott, keeps the Fountain and
Star public-house in Coleman-street, City, and the pri-
soner was a clerk employed in the Bankruptcy Court.
The prisoner was in the habit of going to the prosecu-
tor's house for refreshment, and was well known there.
It appeared that on the 24th of August last the prisoner
presented a cheque for 104 purporting to be drawn by
a Mr. John Weston on Messrs. Roberts and Co. in fa-
vour of Mr. James Cooper, at the bar of the prose-
cutor's public-house. Mr. Cooper was known
to the prosecutor as a gentleman holding an
office in the Court of Bankruptcy, and the
latter was in the habit of cashing cheques
for him. Finding the cheque presented by the prisoner
was drawn by Mr. Cooper, the bar-maid of the prose-
cutor gave the prisoner cash for it. It afterwards turned
out that the cheque was a forgery.
A witness deposed to his belief that the cheque was in
the handwriting of the prisoner.
Mr. PARRY addressed the jury on behalf of the pri-
sener in an ingenious speech, and then called two wit-
nesses to whom the prisoner was well known, who gave
it as their belief that the cheque was not in his hand-
writing.
His LORDSHIP summed up, and the jury found a ver-
dict of Guilty of uttering, but with a recommendation to
mercy. _ _

The prisoner was then sentenced to be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for 18 calendar months.

FORGERY ON THE AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT.

Altonio slloller i, eged 48, described as a labourer, was
arraigned on an indictment charging bim with felo-
niously having in his possession 3,000 copies of a certain
paper, on which was printed part of a note of a certain
foreign state in the empire of Austria.
The Solicitor-General, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Huddle-
stone conducted the case for the prosecution; and the
prisoner was defended by Mr. Ballantine and Mr.

Clarkson.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in stating the case, said the
prisoner was indicted under a statute which made it
felony fair any person to engrave on any plate, wood, or
stone any bill of exchange or promissory note for the
payment of money in any language, and purporting to
be the note of any state. The prisoner was indicted for
having made a certain note or undertaking on the Aus•
trian Government, for the payment of various amounts
of fires, a lire being the value of Bd. in English money.
The copies of the note so made amounted to 3,000 i❑
number, at:el were for various amounts of lires, c f five,
thirty, and sixty, and so on. The prisoner was a native
of Como, in Lombardy, and had carried on the business
of a picture-frame maker in this country for some time.
About two or three years ago, however, he returned to
Corso, his native piece, but in August last he came back
to this country, and took up his quarters at the George
public-house, in Brook-street, Holborn. In September
last ho was taken into custody to answer the charge on
which be wa, now indicted.

Lawrence Lee said he resided at 245, High Holborn,
and was a lithographer and engraver in partnership with
his father. Oa the 2tl September last the prisoner
called is' his house and showed him a certain note (pro-
duced), and asked what he (witness) would charge for
engraving 3,000 of them. Witness replied for 2/. 155.,
and 10s. more for the water mark. The prisoner wished
an exact copy to be made. He asked witness what
would be the cost of making the two dies for the notes.
Witness could not tell him at that net meat. Something
was said shout a deposit, and the prisoner came next
day and paid a deposit of 11. The prisoner said the note
he wished engraved was a ticket by which miners and
labourers could get provisions or anything they wanted
in Austria on account of people for whom they worked.
Does not understand the Italian language. Prisoner
asked when he could see a proof of the note,
and witness replied in two or three days. Pri-
soner said be lived in Brook-street, near witness's
house. When the prisoner came a second time
witness arid the dies would be a sovereign each. The
prisoner called almost every day while the engraving
was in progress, and saw it from time to time, with
which ho expressed his satisfaction. Witness spoke to
his father the next morning after the prisoner first
called on the subject of the engraving. On the Thurs-
day after the first interview, the prisoner brought another
note (produced), and asked what it would cost to en-
grave a copy of it. Witness said Si.. and 10s. for the
watermark. Prisoner agreed to give that sum, and
afterwerds called on Tuesday, the 10th, to see a perfect
proof of the first note, with which he expressed himself
satisfied. He wished the notes to he done es:fast as pos-
sible, as he was going out of town. He said he was
going to Birmingham on the following Saturday. Pri-
soner saw an imperfect proof of the second note. The
prisoner afterwards celled on witness again, and
asked for the tickets he had ordered. 'Witness de-
livered a parcel of them to the prisoner, who
opened it, and staid some of them were a little pale.
Prisoner then paid fur the notes. Oi. that occasion be
took away the package containing 3,000 notes. Oa the
same day witness showed the prisoner another proof of
the second note, with which he expressed himself satis-
fied. Witness was then aware that Forrester, the offic:r,
was waiting in the neightieurhoud.
Cross•examined by Mr. CLARKSON—First saw For-
rester, the officer, the day the prisoner was taken, or the
dsy before. Witness's father had been making inquiries
about the matter. The first intimation witness had on

the subject of the engraving w a 3 on the 2d of September,
but in about a week afterwards some one in connexion
with the police authorities called at the shop. lie be-
lieved it was the officer Goddard. Nobody else came,
except Forrester. Goddard saw the prisoner afterwards.
The prisoner was the first person he saw on the subject
of the engraving.

Mr. George Lawrence Lee, father of the last witness,
gave corroborative testimony. Witness put himself in
communication with Forrester on the subject of the
prisoner ordering these notes, and saw him at
the Mansion-houie. Witness had put a copy of the
note in his window, but, the prisoner perceiving it,
said he did not wish it to be exposed.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—Went to For-
rester on his own accord. Never printed any documents
of the same description before.
John Forrester, officer at the Mansion-house, deposed
that, in cons, quer.ce of a communication he received
from last witneis, at the Mansion-house, he gave cer-
tain information to Mr. Bush. Goddard was also spoken
to on the subject. On the 14th of September the pri-
soner went into Mr. Lee's house, and in about a quarter
of an hour he (lame out with a parcel under his arm,
and was taken iuto custody and brought to the Bow-
street station. On arriving there the parcel was
opened, when the prisoner said the contents appeared to
he Austrian notes ; and he said a gent.emau in France
gave him orders for them, and he thought they were
lottery tickets.
Several other witnesses were examined on the part of
the prosecution.
Mr. CLanKsux addressed the jury on behalf of the
prisoner; and
his LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury found the priwner Guilty, and he was ten-
tenced to be transported for seven years.

The jury firaid the prii:ner Guilty of a eon:non
as!=noit.
Th 3 rECORDER postponed Ftssing sentence till be had

W-ST REET—CfniS DAY.)

Charles Kelly, a young n-mn otrespectahle exterior,

;otter in this employ of Alt -4,316. Willints and Clapham,

the jewellers, of the Strand, rfas placed at the her be-
fore Mr. Henry, charged on stuTieion of being con-
nected with the robbery lately coasinitted on their
premise•. _ .

Mr. Thomas Chlpharn, one of the firm, statrd that the
prisoner had been in their employ for the past six years,
at a salary of 30% He ileed as porter, and lived
on the premises with his wife and faintly. No one else

lived in the hcuse for s,ine tine past. On Monday
evening Imt witness left his busine,,s about half-pust
eight o'clock, the shop-boy at the tune putting up the
shatters, end Mr. Whishaw, the assistant, depositing the
valuable propeity in an iron safe, which was stcretly
pLeed in the wall and covered with a wainscoating.
The, prisoner knew that ail the valuables were kept there.
When the shop.hoy and the assiqant had gone the pre-
mist-s were in the custody of tie prisoner.
The pris,,ner reminded Mr. Glaphaw that he was on
Monday night out tid a very late hour on an errand for
the fit in _ _ _

IVitness, in continuation, said that their loss was, as
far as they have ateettAined, but. eela 1,60 a. and 1,700%,
and that h^ fully bdieled that no entry was effteted
from the street, is there was no violence on soy one of
the doors.

Mr. John Whishaw, assistanti to the prosecutor,
stated that on Monday ni.;ht, he left everything per-
lictly safe. The boy was in the shop at the time. He
kept the key of the sa'c, in wnich were, placed
all the olher keys of the c4ses of the windows,
and shop, as was also the cash-box. Witness was satis-
fied in his own mind that no one had entered the shop
in the evening and secreted himself on the premises, as
he was very particular in examining the safety of the
shop. When he came the following morning the shop
was in the custody of the police. The property taken
consisted of watches, brilliants, loose diamonds, chains,
bracelets, &c., and was of the most costly description.
Inspector Dodd said, that on the morning of the:22d
inst., tram information he received, he went to the prose-
cutor's, and there found the prisoner in the shop, in the
most agitated state. He appeared as if he had been up all
night, and a cup of tea and brandy, of which he had
been drinking, was on the counter. On an examina-
tion of the premises witness felt saisfied in his own
mind that there had been no burglary, but that
the thief or thieves had been let into the house, and
then made off with the booty. There were several
chisels, jemmies, skeleton keys, &c., which were placed
about the premises purposely in order to convey an idea
that burglars had been in the house. The rob-
bery was first discovered by the prisoner, who
came down and found the premises rifled. Wit-
ness, on examining the shop door, found that a key
was in the lock which was of a most extraordinary
description, as it only worked on the inside, and the real
key was at the time in the prisoner's hand, which he
said he always took to bed with him. The prisoner
here turned deadly pale, and exclaimed, " Why, they
must be secreted in the house." The key in the lock
was made from the one in the prisoner's hand, and was
made in the skeleton fashion.
Charles Clinton, shop-boy to the prosecutors, stated
that he felt the premises perfectly safe on Monday
night, and on going on Tuesday morning the house was
in the custody of the police.
Constable 120 F deposed that the prisoner called him
at half-past seven o'clock, and told him to come, as his
employers had I:ien robbed. On the arrival of the ser-
geant they went in, when the prisoner said, " Oh, this
is hew they have secreted themselves o❑ the premises."
Inspector Lund had examined the premises, and was
satisfied that no forcible entry had ever been made, and
from what had transpired he apprehended the prisoner
last night, on suspicion of being connected, with others,
in the robbery. On taking him to the station ho said,
" On, you will tyke care to look after those others who
are suspected, for of course you know there are others."
On reaching his lodgings he found 34 sovereigns in a
box, and in the St. Martin's Bank he has 411.
The prisoner had nothing to say in answer to the
charge, and was remanded till Wednesday next. lie
bore au excellent character.

MARLBR(Y-STREET-( THIS DAY.)

Liam I)iitlips, a lad about sixteen years of age, was
brought before Mr. Hardwick charged with stealing six
silver watches, value3o/., the property of his master, Mr.
William Payne, watehtnaker, 116, New Bond-street.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in
his employ for about eighteen months as errand-boy.
Oa Tuesday last, in consequence of being informed that
the prisoner bad several duplicates in his pocket, he
called him into a private room, and asked hint how be-
came possessed of them, and desired him to give them
up. The prisoner put his hand into his pocket and gave
witness the six duplicates produced, relating to silver
watches pledged at various pawnbrokers. Witness
asked the prisoner to whom the watches belonged, when
he immediately confessed that he had stolen tnem from
prosecutor's stock, and after having pledged them ex-
pended the proceeds in eating and drinking. Witness
then sent for a eenst,ble and gave him in charge. He
now wished to have the prisoner remanded in order to
give witness time to look over his stock.
Police constable Mould, 143 C, said after be took the
prisoner into custody he said be had spent all the money
in feasting, and that he bad spent 2,55. in one day for
oysters alone. -

manded till Wednesday next.

WESTMINSTER.—(THIS DAY.)
John Bounty was brought up before Mr. Broderip,
charged with an assault upon Police-constable 45 B.
Complainant stated that last night, soon after twelve
o'clock, he saw the prisoner drunk and creating a dis-
turbance in St. Anne's-street, and on his ordering him
to move on he made a desperate attack upon him, and
struck and kicked him severely about the body, at
the same time using threatening language towards
him. With the assistance of 245 Bho got him to the
station-house.
The prisoner said, that on Thursday night last his
wife via going to fetch him from where he was spend-
ing the evening, and seeing Police-constable 45 B, she
asked him what was the time, when the Policeman said,
" Come here, my dear, and I'll tell you." She said she
did not want such an answer as that, and he afterwards
made use of some very disgusting language to her. He
had not seen the policeman since, till last night, when
he spoke to him on the subject, and the consequence was
that he was very roughly handled and brought to the
station-house.
Mr. BRODERIP (to 45 B)—Did prisoner say anythinc,
to you about insulting his wile? Policeman—He did,
Sir; but I know nothing at all abcut it. .
Mr. BRODERIP—You said noting about this at first.
Let me see Mrs. Rooney.
The prisoner's wife was then called, and corroborated
the statement made by her husband, alleging positively
that 45 B was the man who lad insulted her must
grossly.
Mr. BRODERIP said, considering the charge made
against the policeman, he felt bound to send this case to
a jury, who would decide what weight should be attached
to either statement. He would, therefore, order the pri-
soner to tird bail, himself its 201., and two sureties of 101.
each, for his appearance at the Middlesex Sessions. In
the meantime orders were given to the inspector in at-
tendance to make every inquiry into the matter.
