The prisoner was now put on his trial un the first
indictment, chargins, him with forging and uttering
the name of Frances Young, to a certain deed of war-
rant of attorney, for the transfer of stock:
Mr. LAW opened the case for the prosecution:
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case to the jury,
in doing which he studiously abstained from saying
more than giving a plain statement of the fact. In the
present case, the documents forged purported to be signed
by the prisoner in order to keep up the credit of the house,
he had sold out money to the amount of 170,0001. and
had forged warrants of attorney for that purpose. It
might appear strange that the fraud was not disco-
vered before, but that was explained by the fact of the
prisoner's having the sole command of the business.
Mr. Marsh, the principal partner, had nothing more to
do with the banking-house than receiving the dividend
warrants from the Bank, which he handed over to the
prisoner, who kept a private account ; and consequently
every opportunity was afforded him to carry on the fraud.
