CHARGE OF FORGERY AND FRAUD ON TILE BANK
OF ENGLAND.—Williont Henry Hoskins, a respectabiy
dressed man, was indicted for obtaining, by false pre-
tences, a cheque-book of the value of is.; with intent
to deli and the Governor and Company of the Bank of
England.

Ballantine was counsel for the prosecution
and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner.
Mr. CLARKSON, for the prisoner, said that the
charge to which the prisoner had pleaded was a mis-
demeanour, but there was another and more grave
charge against him, namely, for forging and uttering a
request for the delivery of goods, with intent to de-
fraud the same Company. The Learned Gentleman
was anxious that the Court should allow the charge of
felony to he postponed to the next session, and that
the Judgment as to the misdemeanour, to which the
prisoner had pleaded, should he respited. The
Learned Counsel for the Bank had no objection to
the postponement. The prisoner had been. eight years
in the service of the Bank as porter, and down to the
present transaction had borne an excellent character.
The Directors of the Bank were of opinion that the
prisoner had been employed by some evil disposed
person to procure a cheque-book, and they were in
hopes, if time was allowed, the prisoner would make
some important disclosures which would tend to fun -
ther the ends of justice.
Mr. Clark, the Clerk of the Arraigns, having been
consulted, the trial for the felony was postponed to
the next session.
