FORGERY.
Yesterday, Bartholomew White, was indicted for
forging a bill for the stun of 1801.

Mr. Joseph Wheatley, hosier, at Leicester, had
employed the prisoner as his agent in town. The
house was in Woocl-street. He employed prisoner
in 1818, and particularly instructed him not to
trust any Jews, and to take no " ready made"
bills. In December last, witness received a bill
for 1801. which was inclosed in a letter written by
the prisoner. In a fortnight after this, witness
came to town, being much dissatisfied with the
prisoner's conduct. The name of James ',awes
was indorsed on the bill, and prisoner said that
that was the person who had bought the goods;
It was a six months' bill. He said be knew the
indorser, who was a respectable merchant, and
was now abroad. Witness asked him how he was
to find that person if the bill was not paid ? Pri-
soner replied, Rowland was a timber merchant,
living at Carlisle. Witness could neither ffnd
the acceptor nor drawer of the bill. Went to
Manchester and Carlisle in two months after the
bill became due, but found none of that name
except a person in the Bank, bat who was
not the indorser or drawer of the bill ; came
to town soon after. He had previously dis-
charged the prisoner. Saw the pri4,soner at the
Mansion-house, where he was examined before
the Lord Mayor. Prisoner absented himself Irmo
the service of witness, and it was with difficulty
he could be found. Witness had some lase-st►i,'
in consequence of some improvident sales which
he had made.

A number of other witnesses were then ,colledr
the particulars of whose -evidence was given a
few (lays ago in the police reports of the Mau•
Mon-house.

He called a number of witnesses to prove that
he was paid this bill in the course of his trade.
Under the direction of the Lvarned Judge thd
prisoner was acquitted, but ordered to be detained,
as a true bill 11}49 been found against him for a
conspiracy, similar to that for which Mosely.
Wolfe, and others were convicted in the Court of
King's Bench.

purporting to be the last will and testament of
John Anderson, with intent to defraud Messrs.

of the Consistory Court of London,. recollects tits
prisoner bringing a will, which he now produced.
Mr. Clarkson, a Proctor in Doctors' Commons,
said the prisoner applied to him on the 7th of
July for a probate of a will. Prisoner described
himself as the executor of the will, and witness,
on looking into it, saw the name was not spelled
at the bottom as John Anderson, but as Andre-
son. Prisoner informed hint that ti►e deceased
died on board the Batavia. There was a caveat
against the will. Prisoner insisted that the will
was a good one, and he was not afraid of it.
The officer who apprehended the prisoner pro-
duced a'probate of the will.
Wm. Johnston, managing clerk in the house of
Messrs. Buckle and Co., who are owners of the
Batavia, knew the deceased, who lett London ill
1817. Being shewn the will, he did not thine
the signature to be that of Anderson. The yes.-
set was bound for Botany Bay.
James Palmer, a seaman, knew the deceased
for eight or nine years. The vessel, in which the,
both were was at Bombay in March 1816, though
the will purported to be made in London on Ills
sth of that month. Anderson died in Bombs,'
Hospital. He never lived in Prince's-square, St•
George's in the East.

committed the crime.
