It is a fact that POOLE, in his farce of
Simpson and Co., took the character of Peter Simpson
from a respectable man of the name of TERRY (uncle of
the late Mr. TERRY, the Comedian) who carries on husi-
neis in London ; and the portrait is sald to he a very
faithful onP. The ru-pliew; it will be recollected, was the
original representative of the character.-.—. Brighton G 144.

he directed the other defendant to levy a distress, Whit,

lie., but only 21. 14s. was due, and for this the actie°
was brought.

cauaT OF COMMON PLEAS.

STRACRY AND ANOTHER. V. THE BANK OF ErattAg'
This was an action arising out of the forgeries of Ibe
late Fauntleroy, and the question to be decided 7,
whether or not, when the Bank of England transfer
p.:rtienlar stock by means of a forged warrant of attmleli
the party from whose name it is so transferred can coot
them to re-transfer that very same stock, or whether ve
ease only requires them to pay the amount of stock tlO
transferred.
Mr. Sijeant SFANKIE (with whom were Mr. Pelle
and Mr. KELLY) conducted the plaintiff 3
U Ws' case, and °.l
Serjeant BOSANQET, Mr. Serjcant anr, Mr. Sefjean
'FADDY, and Mr. Bom.aND, appeared for the defendao*
The trial is likely to occupy the whole day.
• Mr. Se: jeantBOSANQUET said he wished en the 00
to state thus publicly that the Bank of England never re
fused to pry the amount of any stock, improperly OW
fermi, indeed they could not refuse so to do, but they c 0 I);
tended that the Act of Parliament never contemplated dill
in such case they were bound to re-transfer that partial°
stork.
The CHIEF JusrxcE suggested from the importance °f
the question, that it would be better to agree to a special
ease, it was too much to expect that he should decide the
point without mature deliberation.
Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUET said it was necessary, first
produce evidence as to the usage of the Bank, which 0""
accordingly done, and had not concluded when our Ite'
porter left.
The question is one of much importance, inasmuch If
if the Bank are liable to transfer the same stock that b°
been sold by means of a forgery, the party elaimid
will be entitled to all the dividends arising from that stocl(9
from the date of its being so transferred.
