LAW AND POLICE.
John Skinner Francis, an officer in the Cape of Good Hope
Mounted Rifles, and Mary A,-ne Browne, a female elegantly
dressed, and of prepossessing appearance, were charged at
Bow-street with forgery upon the ,bank of Messrs. Smith,
Payne, and Smiths, in presenting and receiving payments
for cheques falsely purporting to be in the handwriting of
the Dowager Lady ;elthorpe, of Sevenoaks, Kent. There
was no evidence to support the charge against Francis, but
the female prisoner was committed, bail being refused. Mr.
Francis was required to give bail, himself in 1,0001. and two
sureties in 500/. each to appear if called upon. Bail was
. _

immediately found. The particulars of the case have already
appeared in the papers. The female was greatly affected on

Mathew Hum, 189, and Henry Parbury, 202, were brought

uniform, on the previous evening. On the case beirg called
on, Mr. Forbes, an inspector of the B division, said that
Hum was no where to be found. Parbury was then placed
at the bar, and the charge against him proceeded with.—
Mr. Burrell said that this was not a case which came within
a clause of the Police Act, which inflicted a heavy punish-
ment upon constables for neglect or excess in the execution
of their duty. Their conduct had been most indecent and
improper; but as it seemed clear that Parbury was less to
blame than the other, he should be content with his entering
into his own recognizances to keep the peace.
