THE WILL FORGERIES.
RE-EXAMINATION OF BARBER, FLETCHER, AND
MRS. DOREY.
MANSION HOUSE.
The investigation into this case was resumed yesterday, before
the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, who took his seat on the bench a
little after eleven o'clock.

Mr. Wilde attended for Mr. Wilkins, to defend Mrs. Dorey ; Mr.
Parry attended for Mr. Chambers, on behalf of Barber.
The prisoners, William Henry Barber, Joshua Fletcher, and Thomas
Griffin, were then placed in the dock, and the prisoner Georgiana
Dorey was, as on former occasions, accommodated with a seat at
the table.
George Gorsuch was then examined by Mr. Clarkson—l am at
present in the employ of Messrs. Hailing, silk mercers, at Waterloo
House. In. the month of March last year I engaged myself as an
assistant to Mr. Dorey. My engagement commenced on Wed-
nesday the 29th of March, and I stayed till the 19th of April.
Mrs. Dorey was in the shop every day while I was there. I re-
member the production by Mrs. Dorey of a 1,5001. note, on the
second Saturday after I went there. Mrs. Dorey came home in a
cab the previous evening after tea time with her sister, Mrs. San-
ders. Mr. Dorey brought a 1,0001. Bank of England note into the
shop, and showed it to me. I did not see Mrs. Sanders and Mrs.
Dorey leave together. Mrs. Sanders went out about half an hour
after this. I did not hear from Mrs. Sanders, in the presence of
Mrs. Dorey, where she was going. She went away in an omnibus,
returned in about an hour and a half, and came into Mr. Dorey's. Mrs.
Dorey was at home. Mrs. Sanders had with her a bag. It
was a brown bag, which appeared to be full, and I heard a jingle as it
went through the shop. It sounded like gold. I cannot recollect
whether Mr. Dorey was in the shop. To the best of my recollection
Mrs. Sanders left on the following Monday, about two o'clock. Mrs.
Dorey went with her. It was stated she was going to Bristol. I
had been in the habit of seeing Mrs. Dorey write. (A note being here
handed to the witness. He was asked if he recognised in it Mrs.
Dorey's handwriting. The witness (read—" Miss Slack, 7, Francis-
street, Tottenham-court-road," upon the note, and said it was Mrs.
Dorey's handwriting.)
Mr. Clarkson said this was a note for 1,0001. which had been
before produced in evidence—it was No. 96,767. The date was the Ist
of February, and It was proved to have been changed at the Bank on
that day.
The witness then withdrew. . . .

Henry istrdsley, late a grocer in Whitechapel, who had married
one of the daughters of Mr. Nevill, of Francis-street, Tottenham-
court-road, deposed that Martha Nevill, his wife's sister, had on the
9th of March, given him an order for some goods, which he had sent
to No. 7, Francis-street.

Mr. Wybrow lived for twenty-four years, until Dec. 1842, at 24,
Rathbone-place, " The Temple of Apollo." Mrs. Dorey came as Miss
Richards, about my lodgings, I believe in December, 1838. She took
the second floor, unfurnished. She said she was in thePantheonßazaar.
When she came to live there she was accompanied by her mother
and her two nieces, the Misses Sanders. They staid with me about
two years. Mrs. Dorey's mother appeared about seventy-five years
of age. Her eyes were occasionally weak. I have seen her walk out.
She went rather infirm and stooped. I have seen her walk-

ing with an umbrella. I used to see the prisoner Dorev
go out of a morning. The mother went to Camberwell in the
summer of 1340. I believe, and I think they all quitted in No-
vember, 1840. After she had quitted the bazaar I recollect hear-
ing Miss Richards and her neice say that Mrs. Richards had gone
do Camberwell for the benefit of her health.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wilde—l am sure that I was told by Mrs.
Dorey that the old lady had gone to Camberwell.
Sydney Hampden Wybrow, the son of the last witness—Lived
with her at 24, Rathbone-place. I remember the female prisoner.
Mr. Clarkson—Look at the prisoner Fletcher, do you recognise any
one that has called on Miss Richards? Witness—l think I have
seen the furthest one in the brown coat (Barber) several times. I
do not recognise any one else as having called on her.
Mr. Parry—Look at those persons standing at the bar. It is evi-
dent you have been making a mistake from the manner in which Mr.
Clarkson put the question. Do you mean to swear that you have
seen that person in the brown coat call on Miss Richards? Witness—
I believe so, but should not like to swear it. It was four or five years
ago. I have never seen him since, until about five minutes ago in the
passage.
Mr. Parry—Who told you to go into the passage to see those
people ? Some one desired my father and myself to walk into the
passage to see if we could recognise any one.
Mr. Parry—Let Mr. Wybrow, sen., go out of Court. Mr. Wybrow
then withdrew.
Examination resumed—l saw him several times. I have had op-
portunities of speaking to him two or three times. On several
oc-
casions I opened the door to him. I believe him to be the man. I
believe I heard him ask if Miss Richards was at home. I believe my
father did not recognise any one in the passage. I told my father in
the passage I thought I knew one of them. I did not mention to
him which.
Mr. Parry—ln what order did they go up ? The yotmg man.

have no doubt, is under a mistake. -Witness—The one on my right
hand (Fletcher) came up first. They came up in the order they were
standing. (The prisoner Barber had entered the Court first, and
had been followed by Fletcher, who passed him, and took his place
at the end of the desk. The order in which they were standing in
relation to the witness, was—Fletcher, next to him Forester the
officer, then Griffin, and last of all Barber.)
Mr. Wybrow, senior, recalled, and cross-examined by Mr. Parry
—I did not recognise ally of the persons who passed up, excepting
Mrs. Dorey. I think it probable that if any of those persons had
been in the habit of calling on her, I must have recognised them. I
know several gentlemen used to call. I do not recognise any of the
persons at the bar. My son said to me, " I think I have seen the
tall person there." (The witness pointed to Griffin, as the person
recognised by his son.)
James Phillips—l know the handwriting of Mrs. Dorey. I was
concerned as her attorney. I see the paper which purports to be the
will of Mary Hunt.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wilde—l believe the body of the will, to-
gether with the name of one of the attesting witnesses, Jane Rose,
to be her handwriting. I cannot say as to the signature of Mary
Hunt. The witness likewise swore that the signature Eliza Burchard,
in the Bank book, and all the various other documents, was In
Mrs. Dorey's writing. The words, " Miss Slack, 7, Francis-street,
Tottenham-court-road," on the back of the 1,0001. note, were her writ-
ing. The words, " Miss Burchard, 9, Great Russell-street, Blooms-
bury," on this 51. note, are also her handwriting.
The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Wilde, but nothing mate-
rial was elicited from him.
Mr. Clarkson said this was all the evidence which he proposed to
go into that morning, Miss Slack being in a state of health which
made it unsafe for her to attend. Ile would suggest that all the
other witnesses in the case should wait until the evidence was
perfected to hear it read over. If his Lordship thought
there would not be time to do so on that day, he had no objection
to an adjournment. He hoped that in a fortnight he would be able
to adduce thriller evidence.
Mr. Wilde inquired if the case of Miss Slack was concluded ?
Mr. Clarkson said it was, unless fresh evidence should be collected
between that day and the day to which the prisoners were remanded.
Mr. Ilumfrey, as solicitor for Mr. Fletcher, asked Forrester, the
officer, whether he had not found some papers in the prisoner's
house ? Forrester said he had found some deposit receipts, which
were ready to be produced when called for.
Mr. Humfrey said he believed his client, Mr. Fletcher, was in a
more unfortunate position than either of the other prisoners. He
had been deprived of a deposit receipt for 1,1001. in: the London
and Westminster Bank, and of a receipt for 1,0001. in the Funds,
and owing to this circumstance he was unable to obtain the assistance
of Counsel. He had been imprisoned for eight weeks. He was un-
able to gather from the examination the precise nature of the charges
against him. Tie submitted to the Lord Mayor that the prisoner was
not fairly treated.
Mr. Freshfield explained that it appeared from the evidence that
the sum of 1,3001., lodged in the London and Westminster Bank in
the name of the prisoner Fletcher, was the proceeds of the sale of the
funds belonging to Miss Slack. In conformity with the provisions of
an Act of Parliament, which directed that in cases like the present,
parties claiming the stock should follow the person of those who had
obtained it by fraud, and should also follow the money. Mr. Baxter,
Miss Slack's legal adviser, had warned the Bank not to pay the
amount in question to him. With regard to the 1,0001. in the Funds,
no application had been made to transfer the sum.
Mr. Parry complained that Mr. Barber was kept in solitary con-
finement at the Compter, and applied to the Lord Mayor for permis-
sion for some other person, not connected with the case; to be placed
in the cell with him.
Mr. Wilde applied for permission for Mrs. Dorey's husband to visit
her in prison.
The LORD MAYOR thought his orders must:bemistaken in reference
to Barber. He would take care that the prisoners should not be sub-
jected to greater severity than was necessary.
The prisoners were then remanded to next Friday week.

PRICE OF WooL.—Since the beginning of Novem-
ber wool has risen above 40 per cent., and still looks upwards,
and as the manufacturers have no stocks on hand, the
farmers may confidently look forward for several years to
good prices, in spite of all the exertions of the League.—Kelso
Mail.
BRIGHTON.—THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.—On
Saturday morning his Royal Highness took his gun and went
into Col. Wyndham's preserves, but before he had any sport
he kicked against the stump of a tree, and had rather a se-
vere fall. His Royal Highness returned to Petworth House
immediz.,tely, but we are happy to state that he was able to
dine with the company, the only inconvenience he felt from
the accident being a stiffness in the shoulder. On Sunday
his Royal Highness attended Divine service in the parish
church, both in the morning and afternoon, and on the fol-
lowing day took his departure for Goodwood, oa a visit to the
Duke and Duchess of Richmond.
