OLD BAILEY-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

Henry Hughes, aged 12 years, was indicted for pick-
ing the pocket of Sir J. Farrant, the Marlborough-street
Magistrate, of a pocket-book containing two Bank notes
of Si. each.
Sir J. Farrant stated, that on Thursd ty last he was
walking on the north side of Grosvenor-square, when he
felt a tug at his coat pocket. He turned round sharply,
and saw the prisoner at his heels. Having ascertained
that his pocket-book had been extracted from his pocket,
he accused the prisoner of taking it. The boy denied it,
and Sir George, after himself drawing his book from the
boy's pocket, took him to the office, and he was of course
committed.
The boy several times denied the statement of the prose-
cutor, and said that the robbery hail been committed by
two other boys, and he had only picked it up.
He was of course found Guilty, anti recognisel as an
old offender, as he admitted that he had been at that bar
a year before.
John Potter, aged 53, a baker, was indicted for forging
and uttering a bill of exchange for the sum of 601. to J.
W. Neale, with intent to defraud him, on the Ist of Au-
gust last.
Mr. Neale stated that he was an oil and colour mer-
chant, at Battle-bridge. The prisoner had bought some
goods of him, fur which he gave a bill, which was dis-
honoured. He afterwards gave away the bill in question,
which was drawn by him upon a Mr. James Burton, at
Uxbridge, who it afterwards appeared had not accepted
it. The prisoner said, when he was apprehended, that he
• had received the hill front a man named Ascmnhe, al-
though he told the prosecutor in a letter when he offered
him the bill, that he had received it from Mr. Thomas
Burton, a man of property, in payment for a piece of land
in the country. He also said that if the bill was a forgery
he had been made a dupe of, and he knew he should
get through it. He had represented himself as an oil and
colourrnan, although at the time he was apprehended he
• Was keeping a baker's shop. He also then admitted that
the story about selling a piece of land was a falsehood.
James Burton deposed, that his name was on the bill as
accepting it, but it was not his writing, nor did he ever
authorise any other person to sign it for him. Witness
was a brick-maker, and worked for his brother, who is a
man of su!:stance.
Cross-examined by Mr. BARRY—Witness had been him-
self a bankrupt, but his debts had not amounted to any
thing very considerable, nut more than 3,0001. or 4,0001.
Had given his acceptance at least twenty times to accom-
Olodate his friends, and had on all those occasions been fixed
with the payment of the bills. Would not answer the
question, whether he ever withdrew a bill from Messrs.
Heating and Co. to avoid a prosecution for forgery. Had
never accepted bills in blank.
James Ellis—Had seen Burton write, and did not thick
it was his signature, as he had 1,327/. worth of his bills
now in his possession.
Mr. PHILLIPS—Now, have any of them been paid ?
Witness (in a low voice, with a shake of the head,)—No.
Mr. PHILLIPS—Don't shake your head, man, that is no
answer. Witness—l have not been paid, and that makes
ms shake my head.—(Laughter.)
Another witness, to whom James Burton owed 2,0001.
deposed to the acceptance not being genuine.
The prisoner put in a written defence, in which he
stated that be had never represented to Mr. Neale that the
adeeptance was the acceptance of Mr. Thomas Burton.—
It WAS an accommodation hill, and lie feared telling that
fact to Mr. Neale, as he believed that if he knew it, he
would not take it, and that caused him to make the false
representation .about the land. He had received the bill
from Ascombe ; he had believed it to be genuine, and when
he found it was not so he gave Ascombe's name and ad-
. d, re", and the latter was, after attending, allowed to go at
'arge, on a promise of attending when celled on, but has
since absconded.
Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character,
Loll Mr. ADOLPHUS elicited by cross-examination that he
had always been a baker, and not an oilman.
The attorney for the prosecution proved that at one
time the prisoner had been engaged in buying and selling
varnish on commission.
Mr. Paul, of Grange-walk, Bermondsey. miller and
flour-factor, knew Ascomhe, who in July last gave the
bill in question to him on account of Potter, to whom wit-
ness had sold some flour, he kept it a day or two, and re-
turned it to Potter, because it was dated at two months
instead of three months, as had been agreed on between
Potter and him.
Mr. Justice GAZELEE summed up the evidence, and
commented at great length on its bearings.
The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
