POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

There was a rush into the Justice-room yester-
day, by merchants and brokers, the case of Richard
Giffard, who stands charged with having committed
forgeries upon the Bank of England, having been
appointed to be heard fully before the LORD MAYOR.
After the transaction of some business of minor
importance, the following cases were gone into against
the prisoner, who is a very young man, and respect-

ably connected :
Richard Gjfard was charged with having trans-
ferred stock in the Three per Cent. Consols office,
by forging the name of a person named Green.
Mr. Thomas Linton, clerk to Mr. Linton, the
stock-broker, of No. 4, Shorter's-court, deposed as
follows :—On the 6th of March the prisoner ap-
plied to him to sell 1251. in the Three per Cent.
Consols, in the name of 'William Green, of Cru-
cifix-lane, brazier. Witness told prisoner that he
did not know him. " Your father," said the pri-
soner, " knows me well, and has seen me frequently
in the National Debt-office." The witness's father
was sent for, and having seen the prisoner, said he
knew him somewhere, but did not recollect where.
The witness then accompanied the prisoner to the
Transfer-office in the Bank, and made out the ne-
cessary documents for the transfer. Witness looked
over the dividend book, and saw the writing for the
receipt of the last dividend. The prisoner gave the
' signature " W. Green," and witness, upon compa-
rison of the writing in the last dividend with the
present, found theta to be exactly similar. The
stock was then regularly transferred, and it produced
1081., having been sold at 86k. Witness paid the
prisoner with a cheque.
Mr. Green formerly lived in Crucifix•lane, and
now resided in Fashion-street, Dock-head, and was
by trade a brazier. He had stock to the amount of
1251. in the Three per Cent. Consols. He had not
received the last dividend upon that stock, but he
tad from 1826 received all the former dividends.—

He did not know the prisoner at the bar; had never
seen him before that moment, and had never trans-
ferred the stock to him. (Here the transfer-book
was handed to the witness.) The "W. Green" in
the book was not his writing. He always signed
himself "W. M. Green." The writing:in the book
was not like his. _ _ _

Mr. George Taylor, a clerk in the Bank, had exa-
mined the alphabet book at the Bank, and found that
the only account in Mr. Green's name was that in
the Three per Cent. Consols, for 125/. stock. The
stock appeured to be transferred.
It appeared from this evidence that the prisoner
had received the last half-yearly dividend on the
stock, as well as the whole of the stock itself. The
dividend, it was afterwards stated, had been receiv-
ed by him on the very day preceding the false trans-
fer. The stock had, since the forgery been replaced.
The second case was this :
Mr. Richard Mann, of Chelsea, had 3001. stock
in the 3 per Cent. Consols. He had not received
the dividends for three years, of course there were
six half-yearly dividends due.
The clerk in the Three per Cent. Consols-office
deposed, that the prisoner applied to him in the
name of Mr. Mann for the dividend due on the 300/.
stock. Witness took up the book, and asked how
many dividends were due. The prisoner answer-
ed, that there were three due. 66 Are there not
more ?" said the witness ; " I make out six."
66 Yes," observed the prisoner, " I mean three
years." There was at the moment a hurry of busi-
ness, the hours of business having been nearly con-
cluded. Witness handed to the prisoner the book
for his signature and six dividend warrants.
The Cash-office clerk deposed, that the prisoner
came to the Cash-office, and got the amount of the
dividend, 27/.

Mr. Mann had never authorized the prisoner to
receive the amount, and the writing in the book
was not his.
•On Thursday last the prisoner went into the Ro-
tunda of the Bank for the purpose of transferring
