POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.
Mr. Richmond was charged with having kept a bill of exchange for
12.51.105. front a Mr. Hale, who gave it to him to get it discounted.
Mr. Hale stated that he resides in Wiltshire; that about two
months ago he gave the said bill to the prisoner to get it di.tcotylted,
and for which the prisoner was to have 251. About a month after
he gave him the bill be received :IV. of it ; he requested to have Ire
rest, but was put off from day to day. The pristnn-r reves:,l!ct
have 151. more for himself. Witness, tired of asking for the m:oey,
told the prisoner to thew him the hill, or give him the mover;
neither of which he ever produced. Witness was introduced to at%
by a Mr. Man.field, the acceptor of the hill.
The prisoner said that there was an original agreement betwv.n
Mr. Hale and him, that if he would put his name on the back of the
bill, and run the risk, he was to hare a certain sum ; and Mr. Mile
Was to receive a certain sum, and nu more. lle had already re.
ceived 581. and not 351. If Nit-. Hale would return hint his mority,
and pay hint all his expenses fswhich came to nearly 200, he would
give up the bill.
Mr. Hale's solicitor said that there was no agreement about this
bill, and the prisoner could produce none; his client had only re-
ceived 354 as he mentioned upon oath. The fact was, that hi;
client is laying claim to the property of Sir Matthew Hale, :!‘e
famous Judge, and this bill was an accommodation bill, given Lim
by Mr. Mansfield, kis client being in want of money to carry on
suit. The bill was drawn at six months, and given to the pi koacr
to get it discounted. As to his writing his name upon it there was
no danger of its being paid, as the acceptor was a man of propaty.
The prisoner was committed u:::il he could get bail.
