, . OLD COURT.
FORGERY ON THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
John Montgomery, aged 33,•and described in the
calendar as having " no occupation," but who was
i'civrti, to .have at onetime held a commission in the
t. arRIY, was this morning arraigned upon an indictment
vharging him with uttering a forged 10/. Bank of
England note to John Simmonds, well knowing the
tsome to be forged and counterfeited, in the intent to
.efrand the Governor and Company of the Bank of
ligland. There was a second count, charging him
With uttering the note with intent to • defraud John
Simmonds.—The prisoner pleaded guilty. '
Mr. Sergeant ARABIN recommended him to con-
fider his plea. You are aware, I suppose, said the
Learned Judge, that you are charged with a capital
!)Irence, and one, too, of a most Serious nature. It
18 my duty to. tell you, that you cannot derive any
12°ssible advantage from pleading guilty. You will
I'e placed in exactly the same sitirytion whether you
pead guilty or not guilty. Were I permitted, sit-
re as I do here, to advise, I certainly would strongly,
Noncnend you to withdraw your plea. At all
;vents, I trust that you thoroughly understand what
• may, and my object in saying what I have said
1% that there may be no mistake. Above all
thi
rigs don't indulge any hope from the circumstance
°f 'your pleading guilty.
Prisoner.—My Lord, I perfectly understand you.
The prisoner was then arraigned upon a second in-
..,(lietment, charging him with littering a forged 10/.
• .uank of England note to Edward Cooke Bourne, &c.
T„The prisoner also pleaded guilty to this indictment.
here were five other indictments, charging him
With similar offences.
Mr. Sergeant ARABIN, after having consulted for
a few minutes with Mr. Vickery, the priioner's soli-
cfryitor, again addressed the prisoner, and said that,
the conversation which he just had with his
nal adviser, he understood, that he had deliberately
Made up his mind to persist in his plea of guilty ; but,
said the Learned Judge, let us have no misunderstand-
ing about it; if any promise has been held out, and I
trust there has not, it is at all events quite right that
!he public should know that you have been cautioned
(kourt over and over again not to rely on that pro-
Mise, With these cautions before your eyes, do you
still persist in yoitr plea ?
Prisoner--My Lord, I thank you for your huma-
tlitY, I perfectly understand you, but I have made up
14rmind to plead " Guilty."
Mr. Serjeant ARABIN then directed the plea of
Guilty' to be recorded, and the prisoner was re-
Moved from the Bar.
`' $t a quarter past ten o'clock the Lord Chief-
oatice Best and Mr. Justice Holroyd took their
steks on the bench. The Lord Mayor, accompanied
Prince George of Cumberland, had entered the
Court a short time before.
b Prederick Thomas, aged 18, was convicted of
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Win.
iliu'rest, in the parish of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch,
stealing various articles his property.
hoThe prisoner was discovered in the prosecutor's
113 e, and on being searched, several skeleton keys
an
-NA dark lanthorn were found on his person.
f Jo/nt Carter. and Thomas Dormer were indicted
7 feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling
Edmund Sayers, at Fulham, in April last, and
hi cling therefrom three tea-spoons and other articles,
Property. Dormer offered the spoons for
h-It'e on the morning after the robbery, and
j 11•41 being questioned he said that he bad
2:lhad them on a dust heap; he also gave a false
neekint of his residence. The other prisoner, when
tgrehended, bad on him a pair of stockings, part of
the stolen property. There was no evidence that
prisoners had broken into the house; but the
4141710 Jndge,,in summing up, told the Jury that
e Possession of the property by the prisoners, so
it'll soon after the robbery, must raise the presump-
"ea that they were guilty of it.
„The Jury were 'of the same opinion, and con-
eted both.
