UNION HALL

William Peck, the youth who recently lived in the service of Mr.
Hudson, of Kenningtor, was yesterday brought up for re-exami-
nation, charged with forging the name of Mrs. Newsome, of Pa-
ragon, New Kent-road, to a cheque drawn on Messrs. Weston,
.
Young, and Rostock, bankers in the Borough, for .210 es. 6d with
an intent to defraud Mr. Thomas Crafter, the landlord of the Brick-
layers' Arms, in the Kent-road.
Some of the parties corceroed in the prosecution were extremely
anxious to suppress the evidence, but L.B.Axxert, Esq. the presiding
Magistrate, before whom the charge was brought, said it was essen-
tial to the ends of *nice that it should be brought forward.
The only additional evidence to that which was detailed in our
former Police Report., was that of Mrs. Crafter, Mrs. Newsome, and
Trely the constable. It is as follows:
Mrs. Crafter stated, that on the evening of Tuesday the 12th
inst. the prisoner came to the Bricklayers' Arms, and presented
a cheque. payabloat Messrs. Weston and Co.'s Bank, requesting
to have cash for it; the amount was .fflo M. Id. Witness in-
Luired who the money wes for? endives told that his mistimes, a
ady named Newsome who resided at, No. 5, Paragon, New
Kent-road, had sent bin: for a quart of bandy, and that she re-
quested to have the thefts, cashed. Witness then banded the
cheque to her husband, who, after inspecting it, found that there
was no insiorsinnent on it. He then told the boy that before the
cheque could be cashed it must have his mistress's name upon it,
sod therefore he must return to have that done. The prisoner went
away, and In about ten minutes retuned with the cheque, which
he presented ;it bad then on it the name of Mrs. Newsome. In-
stead of a quart of brandy he took a smaller quantity and a pint of
rum, with which he went off, but in a short time afterwards was
brought back in the custody of a constable.
Mrs. Newsome deposed, that the prisoner was* stranger to her—
that the name " Mrs. Newsome" written on the cheque was not
her hand-writing ; neither did she authorise the prisoner nor any
other person to write it.
Trely, the constable, having been accidentally in the house when
the prisoner entered, was requested by the landlord to follow him,
and see if he went to Mrs. Nevrsonse's house ; instead of entering
her door the prisoner, passed on, and the constable having ascer-
tained that the prisoner was not her servant, took bias into custody,
and conveyed him back to the Bricklayers' Arms, where he searched
him, and found on his person three other cheques on the same bank
for small amounts, two with the signatures of Thomas Class, and
one signed T. Smith.
The witnesses were bound over to prosecute. and the prisoner
was remanded, there being, it is said, additional evidence to brine
forward.
