FORGERY OF PRUSSIAN DOLLAR NOTES.

MANASSEH GuLSTEIN stood indicted for forging certain
Prussian Notes, purporting to be for one dollar each, on the Ist
of April last. There were no less than 20 counts in the indict-
ment, and the specific crime alleged against the prisoner was,
that he had so forged the notes in question with intent to defraud
Baron d'Orgenstein, employed in the service of William Fre-
deric 111., King of Prussia.
The prisoner put in an affidavit, stating, that he was known,
and always had been, by the name of 44 Goldstone," and not
"Goldstein."

31r LAN D put in a replication, stating, that the prisoner
had been known by both names, and consequently they were at
liberty to try him by either name. •
Mr. Justice RICHARDSON suggested that the usual practice
was to enter the place on the record before joining issue, which
was agreed to by both parties, and the prisoner left the Court.
Mr. BOLLAND some time after returned into Court with the
replication, and the prisoner having been again put to the bar,
several witnesses were called to prove that he had gone by the
name of Manasseh Goldstein.

Messrs. BOLLAND, LAW, ANDREWS, ADOLPHUS, and
PLATT, were respectively engaged for the parties..
On behalf of the prisoner several persons were called, who
swore that the name of the prisoner was Manasseh Isaac Gold-
ston. It was also sworn that this was the name in which he
had been sworn before the Commissioners of bankrupts in 1814.
The prisoner's letters of deniiation were also produced, for the
same purpose, as was the Gazette in which he was advertised.
Mr. Ihrt-nrx, the Keeper orNetegaiefproclueed the original
commitment, from which it appeared that the name was " Ma-
nasseh Goldston." _ _ _

Mr. BOLLAND addressed the Jury at some length in sup-
port of his replication, and to show that the-prisoner had gone
by the name of Goldstein, as stated in the indictment.
Mr. Justice Ric HARDSON summed up the evidence. The
question, he observed, was here, not what was the true name of
the prisoner, but whether he had ever gone by that name men-
tioned in the indictment. _ _

The Jury found the issue for the prosecution. The trial is
expected to take place to-morrow (this day.)
JEREMY GARFIELD was put to the bar on an indictment,
charging him with exposing for sale, on the 4th of August last,
in the parish of St. Mary Magdalen, twelve silver spoons, and
other plate, the same having on them counterfeit and forged
marks against the Statute. The prisoner having pleaded
Guilty to the minor charge, which subjects him to 14 years'
transportation, Mr. Bolland on the part of the prosecution, de-
clined offering any evidence on the capital charge.
MATTHEW CAW, aged 23, was put to the bar on an indict-
ment charging him with forging and' putting away a certain
paper purporting to be a note for 11. of the Governor and Com-
pany of the Bank of England, on the 7th of July last, to Mr.
Matthew Pemberton, of Aldersgate-street, butcher, in payment
for a leg of mutton, with intent to defraud him, the prosecutor,
he well knowing the said note to be a forgery—Guilty, Death.
There was another indictment against the prisoner fora simi-
lar offence, but it was not thought necessary to enter into it.
