COURT OP KONG'S SENcli; rEtiIItIARY
TUB I[loo b. THOMAS DUP.Itbl/0118..
This was an infcwmatiott filed against the defence
dant, who was formerly purser of his Majesty's ehift
the Rhin, charging him With having fotgild certain
docuMents, With intent to defraud WS Majesty. It
appeared from the evidence-, that hi 1811, the Rhin
'then being stationed oft Corunna, the defena.nr, i!‘
transmitting his accounts to the Navy Board, amongst
'alter documents, laid before them a certificate, pur-
porting to be signed by Captain Charles Malcolm,
that time commanding the Rhin, setting Ruth, that oa
the night of th'e 16th of August preceding, the store-
room of the Rhin had been broken open, and cloaiii-
ing to the value of £9l. and a frtetion had be,•it
.Men; that the strictest search bad been made in the
~ahip•
tor the stolen property, but without sa,:ce:.c
and further, certifying that the defendant was entiticrl
to an allowance of the above sum on account of his
loss. In consequence of some iriegnlarity, however,
inqtrities were snide before the accounts were
,pas4d,
when it appeared that the )signnture of caßouta Mai.•
colm to the certificate was a tosgt.i.y ; and inflater
that no such transaction as the prele:;Jed robbery hlit
ever taken place. Urn this informati•)h the ptesei:t
prosecution was instituted ; and it now f•pecar7.iii
from the testimony of Captain Malcolm, the master,
and the carpenter of the Rhin, the c• hole was a lubri-
cation, the Jury found the defendant guilty.
The defendant %vita immediately after tried tip'rnt
another information, charging him with having tor!...ed
the signature of Captain Malcol:in to a certificate, pur-
porting that a month's supply of prnvisicris for 1001
men had been issued from the-Rhin's stores, for die
subsistence of the Guerilla parties in the North of
Spain. On this charge the defendant was also found
guilty, and, was ordered to be brought up for judg-
ment neat Term.
