FORGERY.—E. Bannister and J,; Campbell, who
were acquitted on a -eharge of forgery on Monday
last, were this morning arraigned for a misdemeanor,
in having an engraved plate for printing notes, re-

By arrangement with the prosecutors, the parties
pleaded guilty, and were respectively fined one shil-

FORGING AN AWEPTAICCE.-Edward John Steven-
r9.o WAS indicted for feloniously uttering a forged ac-
ceptance to a; bill of exchange for 691.; with intent to
defraud John Mlinson.
.Mr. Bobiori opened the case for the prosecution,
and calkkl
Jelin Malinson, the prosecutor, who is carrying on
biainess as an outfitter. Prisoner, who stated he
resided in Ratcliffe-highway, called upon wit-
ness. Subsequently a person named Williams called
on witness, and afterwards Williams and prisoner
called together, and selected goods for purchase to the
amount of 821. The goods were sent. Williams and
prisoner again called, and Williams said that he sup-
posed cash was always acceptable, and gave witness
f)ur 51. notes. Witness had subsequently applied
for pa 3, ment of the balance, and saw Williams
and the prisoner together. The prisoner had
before then told witness that Williams was
about to get some bills discounted, and that if he
would come down.they would settle his account. A
bill for 691. 17s. was given, and witness paid in cash
81. 175., being the difference between the amount of
his account and the bill given to him, Williams
having refused to take out the difference in goods, or
to have any further transactions with him in con-
sequence of, witness's unbusiness-like conduct in
asking payment of his account. The bill was drawn
by J. T. Cutting.
The prisoner stated that the drawer was the Cap-
tain of a vessel then at sea, and that he was a respect-
able man.

James Carter, a policeman, who has lived in Ips-
wich for 36 years, knew a Captain Cutting there, who
has been dead these three years. Never knew any
other Captain Cutting.
Cross-examined—Knew another man named Cut-
ting, who is not a captain. The other Cutting is a
fisherman. Has heard him called Captain Cutting,
within the last few days, in London. Witness said
to him " You are Captain Cutting here, but you are
not in Ipswich."—(A laugh.)
From the evidence of other witnesses it appeared,
that when taken into custody, the prisoner had
stated his name to be Williams, but had after-
wards admitted that it was Stevenson. It
further appeared that several persons had sent goods
to the premises in Ratcliffe-highway, occupied by the
prisoner, all of which had been removed at an early
hour in the morning, and the policeman who searched
the premises found nothing there but empty pack-
ages and cases of shavings, &c.
Mr. CLARKSON, for the defence, said he should
produce the person who had accepted the bill, and called
John Thomas Cutting—l have commanded the
Eliza, a fishing-boat of 14 tons. They call me Cap-
tain Cutting in Ipswich. The acceptance to this bill
is my writing.
Cross-examined—l have left gaol twelve months.
I was there six months. It is five or six years since.
I commanded the Eliza. I have a rowing boat now.
I wrote my name to that acceptance in Ipswich in
July last. I had no goods from Williams, but I con-
sidered I owed him money. I had lost some cloth of
his. My family have applied for relief to the work-
house. I hawk apples and other things about the street.
Mr. BODKIN (handing him a piece of paper)—
Write your name on that.
The witness went to the table, and wrote his name.
I wrote my name and the direction then, which is
written across it. I had nothing given me for ac-
cepting it.
Re-examined—Williams told me he would take up
the bills, and that I should have no trouble with them.
I was in gaol for smuggling—never for debt or for
felony—only for smuggling.
Mr. CLARKSON—You have never been to prison,
then, for anything affecting your character for honesty?
Mr. Justice ALtuLE.—What ! not for smuggling ?
—(A laugh.) It is committing a fraud on the re-
venue, and that is dishonest. I cannot suffer such an
observation to pass unnoticed.
Mr. BODKIN replied.
Mr. Justice Mauf.E summed up, and the Jury
found the prisoner Not Guilty.
Thera was another indictment against the prisoner
for a misdemeanor, which he traversed until next
sessions. The indictment was for a conspiracy to de-
fraud.

Mr. CLARKSON applied to the Court to admit him
to bail.

Mr. Justice MAULE—What is the value of the pro-
perty ?
Mr. CLARKSON—Under 2001., my Lord.
Mr. Justice MAULE—Then let him give bail, him-
self in 2001., and two sureties in 100/. each, for his
appearance next session.

BODIIN—With the usual notice, my Lord ?
Mr. Justice MAULS-Of course, with the usual
notice.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
Elizabeth Millington, a genteely dressed young
female, was indicted for stealing on the Ist of last
month, a gold watch, chain, seals, &c., the property of
R. Dick, from his person.
Mr. Payne appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Charnock defended the prisoner.
From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the
prosecutor had been to see a relative in Holborn' with
whom he remained to a late hour, and having drunk
pottle deep of atrong Scotch ale, when he got into the
street his head reeled round, and he became
unconscious, and upon getting home he missed his
watch, which was brought to him next morning by
a policeman, who had taken it from the prisoner.
The chain, seals, &c., were at the station-house.
The prosecutor said he was so stupid that he could
not state what occurred, but of this he was confident,
that he did not see the prisoner that night.
The COMMON SERGEANT—If that is the case it is
impossible to convict the prisoner.
The prisoner was accordingly acquitted.
The COMMON SERGEANT told her to be cautious
for the future, because if she was placed at the bar
again she would be recollected.
The prisoner declared that the prosecutor gave her
the watch to take care of because he was tipsy, and
that, having it in her possession, she did not make
away with it as she might have done.

COMMUTATION OF PUNISILMENT.--,TaMeS Andrews,
who was convicted on Friday last of a robbery upon
the person of a gentleman named Harris, and sen-
tenced to fifteen years' transportation, was his morn-
ing placed again at the bar, in order that that sen-
tence might be commuted to ten years.
The COMMON SERGEANT said that it had been in-
timated to the Court that he had fallen into error at a
later period than was at first believed. He would,
therefore revoke the first sentence, and the judgment
of
the Court now was, that he be transported ten, in-
stead of fifteen, years.
HORSE-STEALING.—Joseph Meyers and J. Edwards,
were indicted for stealing a mare and cart, value
10/T.,th eppoeornt
tyvioofed Edwards,ChariesFran
and found
The Jury

Not Guilty.
The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced Edwards to
ten years' transportation.
ROBBING FURNISHED LODGINGS.— William Watson
and Mary Harrill were convicted of robbing their
ready-furnished lodgings, and sentenced to one year's
imprisonment and hard labour.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE, AND ROB-
BERY.—Robert Shore, aged 40, was indicted for steal-
ing a bedstead and several other articles of furniture,
the property of Elizabeth Robinson. There was
also another indictment, charging the prisoner with
stealing other articles of considerable value, the pro-
perty of the same prosecutrix.!
Mr. Horry defended the prisoner.
Elizabeth Robinson, the prosecutrix, stated that
she had known the prisoner a considerable time ; he
was well known to her family, and used to visit her
in the character of a suitor. At that time she was
possessed of the articles in question, which were
taken away by the prisoner without her consent.
Cross-examined by Mr. HORRY—The prisoner was
on very intimate terms with her. He had been her
suitor, and promised her marriage; he had even put
up the banns. He afterwards married witness's sister.
Witness never gave the prisoner any authority, di-
rectly or indirectly, to take the property. The arti-
cles were her own, and purchased with her money.
Mr. HORRY addressed the Jury at some length on
behalf of the prisoner. He should call a witness who
would give a contradiction to the testimony of the
prosecutrix. It was quite clear that:there was some-
thing in the background which the wife of the priso-
ner could perhaps disclose, but she was not allowed
by law to give evidence. The Learned Gentleman
stated it was his belief that the prosecutrix gave the
prisoner a dominion over the goods which were alleged
to have been stolen. It was orobable that the disap-
pointment she felt at the prise trier wedding her sister
and discarding her, was the rmson for the present pro-
secution.

Samuel Field, who lived in 13 runswick-street, knew
the prosecutrix and prisoner w( .11. They used to visit
at his house. He put up the banns. The prisoner
afterwards married the sister of the prosecutrix. He
had heard her give him a corn trol over the articles
named in the indictment, but this was before he left
her to marry her sister.

The prosecutrix, on being recariled, stated that she
might have given him autbor deal with some of
the. things, but not with the tale, .11ad she known that
he was flout to marry her sister she should not have
to.
given him any control.

The Comm SERGE ANT, in summing up, dwelt
upon the double perfidy of the prisoner.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and
The COURT sentenced him to seven years' transpor-
tation. •
SIDtGULAR CASR.—Bonnier Kairns, a young, good-
looking, and respectably-dressed foteigner, described
in the calendar as a' labourer, but by himself as a
Baron, was indicted for stealing two diamond rings
and a pearl pin, the property of Mrs. Matilda John-
son in her dwelling-house.
ifr. Adolphus appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr.
Doane defended the 'prisoner. '
- Mr. Abor.rnus, after addressing the jury for the
prosecution, called
Mrs. Matilda Johnson, who stated that she lived at
No. 2, Palace-place,\Great Scotland-yard, and was a
widow. She let out part of her house in: lodgings.
When the prisoner came to look at some, of them, he
said he was intimate with Lord Forrester. He gave
a foreign name, and called himself the Baron Kaims.
Witness told him the rent of the apartments would be
201. a month.
Cross-examined by Mr. DOANE—Never met the
prisoner at any place before he came to her house.
Witness had no boy in her house, and her eldest son
was 20 years of age.
By Mr. ADOLPHUS—Asked the prisoner for his
card, but he said he had not got one, but would
leave it on the following day. He called again then'
and showed her a bill of exchange for 601.
. By Mr. DOANE—Witness had gone by other names.
One was a theatrical one, but she did not subsist by
going to theatres. Witness would declare that she
did not meet the prisoner before he came to her house.
Witness did not open the door to him when he came.
Had a conversation with him about theatres, but did
not tell him that she acted in a chorus at the Italian
Opera. Had been there in pieces, and wore a silk
gown on some occasions.
Mr. DOANE—Have you not been in the habit of
riding with a gentleman in Hyde-park ? Witness—
I have, but I do not ride out very often. I ride
when my. taste leads me that way.—(A laugh.) I
rode there, perhaps, four times last summer ; certainly
not ten times.

Mr. DOANE—Did you always ride with the same
gentleman ? Witness—Yes. The prisoner did not
take tea with me when he called, or porter. Witness
might have told the prisoner that a nobleman visited
her, but she did not tell him his name. Witness has
some blue curtains, but she never told the prisoner
how she got them. They were given to her by a no-
bleman, and to him she looked for her character.
The prisoner called one evening after the first inter-
view, but witness did not tell-her servant to say she
was from home. Witness did not say she did not
wish to see him, as an elderly gentleman was coming
to visit her. An elderly gentleman did visit her, but
she did not recollect his coming when the prisoner was
there.
Mr. DOANE—Are you quite sure of that ? Wit-
ness—You ask such strange questions. The prisoner
seems to know a great many things about me.—
(A laugh.) Witness never told the prisoner that she
would go to Covent-garden with him, and never
engaged to meet him in St. James's Park.
Mr. DOANE—NOW, madam, you have stated your-
self to be a widow, now upon your oath are you not
married ? Witness—l could answer if I pleased.
Mr. Domqz—There is no harm in doing that.
Witness—There may exist many reasons why I
should not wish it to be known lam married. Sup-
posing it to be so?
Mr. DOANE—Then you decline answering ? Wit-
ness—No, I have that document in Court that would
satisfy your curiosity if I chose to produce it.
Mr. DOANE—With respect to the rings, did you
not sell them to the prisoner ? Witness—Decidedly
not. No sum was named. I gave, or I should say
entrusted, the& to him for the purpose of showing
them to Lord Forrester.
• Mr. ADOLPHUS did not know what all this was to
tend to.

The witness, in answer to a question from the
Learned Gentleman, stated that her late husband and
his father before him, had lived in great respectability
in Pall-mall. She had never given the prisoner the
rings for any other purpose but that she had stated.
She would solemnly swear that there was never any
love affair or toying between her and the prisoner.
Stephen Thornton, a police-sergeant, who appre-
hended the prisoner, produced a duplicate he found
upon him, which related to part of the stolen pro-
perty. He found a quantity of duplicates relating to
pins and other jewellery in the prisoner's possession.
Mr. Attenborough, a pawnbroker, produced two
rings, which were identified by the prosecutrix as her
property. They were not pledged by the prisoner.
Mr. DOANE addressed the Jury for the defence,
after which the prisoner addressed the Court in tole-
rably good English, for nearly half an hour, his ob-
ject being to show there had been an intimacy between
them, and that there had been a regular bargain and
sale of the property.
Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK summed up, and
The Jury, after a short consultation, found the
prisoner Guilty.
The Court then sentenced the self-named Baron to
the degrading punishment of seven years transportation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
BO W-STREET.

John Dunn, and Ellen Dunn, his wife, and Ellen
Dunn, their daughter, were charged on suspicion of,
stealing 40 dozen of wine, the property of Mr. Samuel
Anderson, of No. 10, Symond's-inn.
It appeared that about three weeks ago the younger
prisoner was seen in the cellar where the wine
was kept, and on Mr. Anderson returning to town
yesterday, he found that the cellar had been broken
open and the wine gone. The prisoners' lodgings
were searched, but nothing was found. The male
prisoner had a key of the [chambers.
Mr. TwYFoRD said he would remand the prisoner,
in order that search might be made for the wine.
