Mr. Stewart being a man of some importance; 1.1
the fact of the prisioner knowing the bill to I'l'
been dishonoured showed that he had a guilty kitri:
ledge that when he gave the cheques they were 0'
value, Stewart having no effects in the bank.
Mr. Parslow and Mr. Westbrook having Mill
proved the statement of Mr. Matthews in every Pit'
titular, that gentleman called several other witnesses
who proved that the bill drawn by Stewart and oe'
cepti-d by the defendant was made aable at Most!:
Loup and Co.'s, No. 6, Great St. Helen's, where, es
its being presented, no such person as tewart wa.„
known. Subsequently a letter was received 10.`ii
Stewart, stating his reason for not taking up the btile
was, that he had received no consideration from
prisoner for it. 'This the latter denied.
The witnesses were cross-examined with Mt! n,
skill by the prlsoner's solicitor, but without skoks4
their testimony. ;
Mr. Matthews said there was another case ago.lsw
the prisoner ; he had paid away a cheque for
drawn by a person named Rooney, upon the ban
Sir C. Scott and Company, which got into the WTI
of a gentleman named Murray, residing in Lot;
who, on presenting it for payment, was informed .tut,
no such person was known there. He (Mr. AU
thews) was directed to, apply to the prisoner once
ing it, when he referred him to Jr. 3 Stewart, °
Edmund-street, Gravesend. 0(11
Mr. Wair, of the Commercial Bank, Owlet,
said he had a dishonoured bill at present in his 1/, ;
session, drawn by John Stewart upon Mr. Vines, f's
surveyor of the port of London, and a cheque slip-
months since was presented, drawn by Stewart ut
the Rev. Mr. Ball, no such person being knovvn•
The prisoner's solicitor having declined to say till/
thing in answer to the charge,
-I.lr. Matthews contended that there was quite
the
ficient, under the Act 7th and Bth George IV., orfile
magistrate: to send the case for investigation WO

money been obtained by false pretences? fie 0
tended that he had sufficiently proved they weto
Kingsford knew when he gave the cheques they 700,
of no value, Stewart being It: insolvent cireurastan
and without the means of paying. 001'
The Magistrates, after some consultation, to
milted the prisoner for trial, agreeing, however,o
take bail for his appearance at Maidstone, hiMoeb
