POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

. .
CLERKENIVELL.-(THIS DAY.)
A gentleman named Smith, was charged with riding
a horse through Wohurn--eourt;- it being a thoroughfare
for foot.passengers. only ; also with assaulting Mr. Wil-
liam Chaplin, No. 6, in the court.
• It appeared from the evidence that on the previous
evening Mr. Smith rode his horse-through the court. Mr.
Chaplin followed him.as tar as Great Russell-street, and
there seized the:horte.-11r. Smith struelt. him with his
whip to'diSengage the animal from his grasp.
The MAbisrttATE said that MT.' Chflplitl Wild -no right
to follow Mr. Smith such a, distance, and then seize his
horse in-the manner he-had sviied him. At the same
time Mr. Smith had acted contrary to law in riding his
horse through a foot theroughfare, and thereby subjected
himself to a penalty of 40s.
• Mr: Smith said,- at the time be.- entered the Court he
was not aware that: it was only a foot thoroughfare. -
The MAGISTRATi -said ignorance of the law was no
palliation of the offence; he would fine Mr. Smith ss.
The fine was paid at once.

UNION HAII.L.—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Aberrow,A butcher, was charged with wound-
ing. liis wife on the head; and there was also a charge
preferred against the wife of attempting to drown herself
at Blackfriars- bridge._
It appeared that, on-the preceding niglit, a woman was
prevented from throwing herself into. the Thames near
the above bridge, and was taken into custody. When
conveyed to the station-house, she there said that she
determined to destroy herself in consequence of the had
usage of her husband, and she,. at the same time ex-
hibited a severe wound on her head, whi,ch was
inflicted.by him. From the woman's statement before
the Magistrate it appeared that her husband had formed
an illicit intercourse with another woman, and that it
caused a good deal .of.quarrelling. between:them.- That
on the precedieg night she (the wife) and her husband
having had softie high words on the subject alluded to,
her husband struck her on the head, and inflicted a
wound, which rendered her insensible, and a surgeon
having been called in he dressed the wound, and
when she stdr4equently recovered her senses she
became so excited at the bail usage she was constantly
receiving at. the. hands of 'her husband, that she deter-
mined on destroying herself, •and fur than purpose pro,
ceeded to the bridge, for the purpose of throwing her-
self into the river, when she was prevented as above de-
scribe d. •

Mr. COTTINGRAM said that he should not decide the
case until he heard the'Vvidence of the surgeon as to the
nature of the wound inflicted on the unfortunate woman.
Alexander Andrews and John Newman were charged
with attempting to pick pockets this morning, during the
confusion that prevailed at the• lamentable accident that
occurred by the falling in of the roof of the terminus of
the South-Eastern Kailway, and by which accident some
lives have been sacrificed.
It appehred that about seven o'clock, when the acci-
dent referred to took place, the two prisoners were ob-
served,busilY engaged in their vocation, that of atteropt-
ing to pick the pockets of several persons attracted to
the Tot. Being known as reputed thieves, they were
taken into custody, and wer9 committed by the Magis-
trate for a month each to the treadmill.

• CHATHAM, APRIL APRIL 10.—This morning, at six o'clock,

(THE WILLS FORGERIES.i

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY, Mr. Justice WILL/ANS,
and Mr. Justice MAULE.)
Shortly after ten o'clock, their Lordships took their
seats on the bench, and William Henry Barber, Joshua
Fletcher, and Georyiana Dorey were then placed at the
bar for trial.
Before the indictment was read over,
Mr. WILKINS said he had an application to make to
the Court, on behalf of the prisoner Barber. Although
he had pledged himself yesterday not to challenge. the
jurors, he had now an affidavit which stated that justice
could not be done to the prisoner, unless he had a sepa-
rate trial. In case the Court granted this, Barber would
cal: the other prisoners as witnesses on his behalf, and
their evidence would be very material to his defence.
Mr. Baron GURNEY asked the Attorney-General
whether he had any objection to the proposed course.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL could nut consent to it, he
believing that it would greedy embarrass the prosecution.
. Mr. Parry (who was with Mr. Wilkins) referred to
the trial of Hardy and others, as affording a precedent
for the application.
Mr. Baron GURNEY said he thought the application
could not be made as a matter of right.
After some dismission, the application was refused.
The indictment having been read over at length,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose to address the jury
on behalf of the prosecution. He entreated the
talent attention of the jury while he stated the facts
which were necessary to enable them to tinder-
stand the evidence which would he brought in support of
this charge. The accusation was connected with an
offence of a novel 7 description, and it affected persons
who had hitherto moved in good society, and maintained
a creditable name.. It .would be idle to conceal
that the matters to" be bronght before them had already
been the subject of much publication, but he trusted ,
• that they would forget all that they had either heard or
seen with reference to the transactions which were to .ho
the subject. of inquiry that day, and he had no doubt
they would faithfully and fearlessly discharge their duty.
The case-wits this. One of the prisoners Was charged
with publishing a forged bond, and the others were
charged with being accessories before the fact. To
speak in the offence Charged was
that of procuring, by false and- fraudulent Means, the
transfer of a sum of money from the unclaimed Stock
which was transferred to the Commissioners for the Re-
duction of the National Debt. He desired to state, with
as much calmness and simplicity aapossible, facts which
would undoubtedly be proved in evidence, and he should
abstain from any comments, except such as weie
neessary to enable the jury to understand the bearingoof
the entire case as respected the individuals charged. He
could not forbear from stating that if, in his judgment, it
had not-been essentail fur the ends of justice that the
prisoners should be tried together, he would have ac-
ceded to his Learned Friend's -application. 'Having
worked, however, togethere--whether honestly or other-
wise, he thought it impossible to judge of the conduct of,
the otheis ; neither did he think that the defence of any
one of the prisoners would be. at all affected by their
being tried at the same time. It was necessary to state
that by a law, which was passed 30 or 40 years ago, it was
provided that if stock had remained without any claim-
ant for ten years, it should, at the expiration of that time,
be transferred to the Commissioners 'for the Reduction of
the National Debt ; but care was taken that the claim of
any one who Was entitled to it should nut be prejudiced
by that circumstance. 'There were three prisoners be-
fore the jury ; a fourth was included in the. indictment,
who died in the year 1841. Williain Henry Barber was
an attorney, W ho had been in practice. in Bridge-street,
lilackfriars, lat,f,:re this charge was brought ; Joshua
Fletcher, was a per on who had certainly never been
suspected of anything of this description until 'the in-
quiries which took place before the Lord Mayor ; the
other prisoner, • Georgians, Dorey, was the wile
of .a respectable tradeswaii in Oxford-street ; and
the charge against them was that Susauah Richards
deceased, -published -a forged bond with a :view
to obtain possession Of 'some stock by :that means, and
that the said prisoners in some way; or other lent their
assistance in obtaining that stock. In the *-year' 1826
;here was Standing in the Bank of England, in the name
Of " John Stewart, of Great Marlow, in the county of
Bucks, gardener," a sum producing 511. per annum in
the Long Annuities. It appeared that Mr. Stewart re-
ceived' the last dividend on this stock on the sth of April
preceding his death, and that he died on the 13th of
March, 1827. The dividends remained unclaimed
down -to - the .11th • of. October, 1836, when, in
pursuanee of the Act of Parliament, it was
transferred to the Commissioners for the Reduction
of the National Debt. John Stewart was head-gardener
to a gentleinan of -the name of Strode, residing at Great
%View. He was born in Scotland, and lived there till he
was teenier years old: His history could be-pretty well
traced. From his own statement, it appeared - that he
had'no relstive except a brother; he had no sister. Ile
hod alit ht,ard of his brother for many years before he
died. '`..Con‘ of thoste who knew him ever heard him
speak of a s;-t- r, hor was there any trtiee of any such
1-erwn ever having been inexistence. Now, toprevent
claims from being made which were unfounded, care
WAS taken that the stock transferred - to the Commis-
ei,:ners of the National Debt should not become matter
of public-notoriety. Claims* of this sort were not guarded
by the vigilance eft' opposing indiVidual interests on the
other side, end it was necessary, thi refore,• to he very
cautious. Still some persons must be aware of 'strain
seethe' which was publicly and 'formally done. Mr.
Stewart having died in 1827, and the stock having been
transferred in 1836, his death became -known to Barber
and Fletcher. Fletcher went down to Gretit Marlow,
and stayed a short time at the Greyhound Inn,
kept
,by a person of the name of Hyatt.
Inquiries were made by him in the name of GeJones,
24, Little Guildford-street, Russell-square. lie was in.
structed that there was no deubt of the identity of Flet-
cher as a person who made inquiries of a number of old
persons respecting John Stewart, under this false name.
Several witnesses would identify him as that person.
But he would be still better identified by a letter which
he wrote en the 25th of June, 1840, tee a person whom
' he had seen, named William Wieser. 'The Learned
Counsel then read a letter dated June 25, 1840, and
giving the. address 24, Guildford-street, Russell
square, London, referring to a promise which Winsor
had made to furnish Fletcher with inforthation respect-
ing Mr. Stewart, and requesting that he would send any
which- he had obtained. It was stated in this letter, that
the writer-had discovered that Stewart had had a sister
living about 12 years since in America. The letter Was
signed "G. Jones.". The house to which it-was addressed
was that of Miss Hawkes, who, at . the request of
Georgiana Dorey,— had consent( d that letters for
Barber and'_ Fletcher might be directed to her
house, whence they would be forwarded to some
Other place. .Shortly after Fletcher had been at Great
Marlow, the prisoner Barber 'went downs The name
which he gave was that of " Clarence Peckham, Esce,"
and he,belleved it would be clearly established that the
prisoner Bather was the
.person who N ent there under
that name. = He gave, as his residence, "52,. Nelson-.
square," which was his real_ place of abode.- One of
the witnesses; went Up to London and saw him
at 52, Nelden-square. 'The object'of 'these inquiries. by
Fletcher and Barber was apparently -to find out the con-
nections of John Stewart ; to discover what was his
history ; where he had lived, and where. he came from ;
and it would be for the jury to judge whether the in-
quiries were made for the purpose of bringing forward a
false claim, and being enabled to give to it the appearance
of consistency and truth. They would find that while
Barber was at Great Marlow, he spoke of the visits paid
by Fletcher, under the name of Jones' and he mentioned
Jones as being his friend, and as belonging, in fact, to
the same firm. Now the next set of circumstances
which he had to introduce to their attention,
referred . to the conduct of Mrs. Richards, de-
ceased—the mother of the prisoner Georgiana Dorey.
In the month of June, 1840, -Georgiana Dorey, who
was not then Married, was living-with her mother in
liathbone-place, with a person of the name of Wybrow,
who would be called as a witness. Mia. Richards re-
moved from Rathbene-place to No. -1, Southamp-
ton-terrace, Camberwell. She went there as Miss
Stewart, in which name letters were addressed
to her, and she was visited almost every day by the pri-
soner Fletcher, who inquired about the lodging for tier
under the- name of Stewart. This old lady obtained
letters of administration its the sister of John Stewart.
The. stock -was transferred back vgain under the name
of Elizabeth Stewart, and the dividends were paid a few
days after-the administration was perfected. On the part
of the prosecution it was alleged that Fletcher and
Barber knew pert, etly well that fraud was going for
ward, and it would he for the jury to say whether it was
not concocted ter the purpose of obtaining possession of
the stock. Shortly alter Elizabeth Stewart had taken
the lodging at Camberwell, Fletcherswent with her to
the office of a proctor of the name of Hunt,
and on the 31st of July,- 1840, she made an
affidavit for the purpose of obtaining letters
of administrations There was a very wholesome rule at
Doctors' Commons, that %hen an individual came for-
ward claiming to administer the affairs of a deceased
party, some time after death, he should give some
reason for the delay. And, accordingly, this affidavit
was made to account for the delay in this instance. The
Learned Counsel then read the affidavit, stating
that Elizabeth Stewart was the only sister, and next of
kin of John Stewart, and that she was residing in New
York at the time of his death, and was not aware of the
fact until the month of May in the previous year, *hen
she returned to this country. It was considered, how-
ever, that sufficient information had not been given.
The duty of -45/. was paid,• being advanced by Fletcher;
but it a as necessary there should be two sureties to join
Eliz; Stewart hefdre she could obtain letters of administra-
tion. Fletcher gave the name of ThoS. Griffin, 32, Duke.-
street, Grosvenor-square, tailor, and Mr. Pitt, or his
clerk, procured some other person-to be surety, thinking
that there could be no danger in so doing. The bond
was executed before the surrogate, and upon its being
executed, the letters of administration were granted. In
addition to the affidavit fer the purpose of satisfying the
registrar there was a certificate of the baptism of John
Stewart and of Elizabeth Stewart ; but the baptism of J.
Stewart was of the year 1761, and it was represented to
have taken place, net in Scotland, but in the parish of
Marylebone, Middlesex. The certificate of Elizabeth
Stewart was also of the same parish. There could be no
doubt that John .Stewart, to whom this stock
had belonged, came from Scotland, and . docu-
ments would be put in, which were found
after his death, showing his lersenal history. It was
quite right that he should state that Barber was acting
avowedly in the capacity of attorney to the parties.
It weeld be, for the,
‘3yry.,to say whether. he
had any guilty -knowledge of this liatislietroft..
The Learned Counsel then read the remainder of the
document, explaining why Mies Stewart had not before

• ,
applied for the dividends, and referring to a person f
the name of Jones. The jury must judge Whether there
was any other person bearing that name in this troste:
tion, except Fletcher. Miss Ste Wart star( d t".
she was informed of her brothefs death through
the kindness of Mr. Jones, who had aft, rwerds intornitn
for that he was going to America, since which time she
had never seen him. 'The Learned Counsel then re-
ferred to an affidavit mule by Griffin,• stating that h€,,'
had known Elizabeth Stewart and her brother,
stating various circumstances respecting the to°'
Now he proposed to call Griffin as a i.wit-
ness ; but he did not wish them to lattice
more weight to his statements than foirlY
belonged to testimony given under such circumstances.
He then ref rrtd to a correspondence which passed- be'
tween the prisoner Barber and' Mr. Strode, of Gres!
Marlow, with whom John Stewart had lived, the
avowed object of which, on the part of Barber, was Ui,
obtain possession of the original stock receipts
John Stewart, in order that his sister might be able
to obtain the property of the deceased. Mr. Strode
stated in reply that the receipts in question were in thef
hands of his solicitors, Messrs. Pickering and Co., °T
Stone-buildings, to whom he referred the prisoner. leis
was not willing to treat Miss Stewart as the sister of Ws
late gardener, being perfectly acquainted with his
his-
tory. On the Ist of October, before any of the stock we',
transferred, Mr. Barber saw Mr. Pickering's clerk, and Fu'
down a number of questions for Miss Stewart to answer'
Nothing was heard from him until the month of Novel:
ber following, when all the stock had been transferred'
The transfer took place on the 20th of Octbber. 1116
Learned Counsel then proceeded to state at length tkee,
circumstances connected with the transfer .
the stock. He then said that the prisoner
Georgiana Dorey had made a statement 94:
knowledging her share in this transaction, which
he proposed to put in as evidence. If the parties.
were innocent, they would be able to give some accono`
of the sister of John Stewart. The jury would have t°
consider who Mr. Jones was, and whether there "'es
any other Mr. Jones except Fletcher.. The case I'l
