Oates, the Solicitor to the Committee, of tankers, du. for Prose-
cuting and Preventing Forgeries, attended upon the part of the
prosecution ; Mr. Nobler, jun. appeas4d for the prisoner.
Mr. Andrews stated, that Messrs. Masterman bad received the
forged draft for the amount of 1711. purporting to be the draft of
Wakelleld and Sorts. The forgery was detested immediately. and
measures were tikes to asoartain who had sosandtted the eeence.
The draft was dreamt in lamer of Francis Eversbam, a Quaker;
and a letter of the supposed Franc', Eversham was read, commn-
niceties the wish for payment of 'the amount in the phraseology of
that sect. Mni Andrews aids that dot fact of uttering in London
as well as in Manchester could be proved without dilliculty ; but
the great questa* was, who had eminsitted the forgery ? Now,
there was important evidence to the latter effect, which, though not
mailable in Leaden, could be produced at Manchester. It was,
therefore desirable to send the case to Manchester.
Mr. nobler, junior, said, the prisoner had been in London in'
custody a fell week, after having undergone examinatioos at Man-
chester, and it would be desirable to knew the extent of the
charges upon which it was intended to pvosecute the prisoner.
Mr. Andrews said the capital conviction ; and there would be a
failure of justice as to the capital. charge, if the ptisorter was not
sent back to Manchester.

Mr. nobler, jan. said, this was the first time the intention of
the prosecutor a was made known, and that there could be no objec-
tion, on the pan of the prisoner, to go to Manchester, if the Lord
Mayor thought it necessary. At all events it would be necessary
to hear vone of the evidence.
The Lotto Maros said, he should be directed, in the course he
should adopt by the nature of the evidence. If it were shewn to
him that it was proper to send the prisoner to Manchester, lae
should do it without hesitation. _ _ _

Mr. Andrews then called Mr. Peel,clerk to Messrs. Masterman,
who produced the draft, and gave evidence to the following effect :
The letter enclosing the draft was written on the 234 of June; I
know the house of Wakeleid and Sons, who keep cash at our
house. This draft is a finery. The letter was subscribed
" Francis Eversham," and desired that the answer should be sent
to the Hen and Chickens, lUrtuingham.
Richard Gardiner, a Bow-street officer, stated, that in come-
quence of insuuctions which be had received, he proceeded to
Birmingham, and Croft thence to Manchester, where he saw the
prisoner at the window of the Post-office, inquiring for letters for
Francis Reershatue A letter was given to him, and witness then
apprehended him, and conveyed him in a coach to a Police-office,
without, however, having taken from him the letter. The letter
had not been found since that dine; but had been got rid of some
bow or other.

The Loan Maven asked the officer bow it happened that be did
not seize upon the letter? The Aker replied, that it had never
occurred to him until it was too late.
The Loan Ma von—And did you not see the direction ?
llow-street officer—No r I did not look at it.
Mr. Anirews—We do not despair of recovering It yet.
The Loao MAYOR askeirthe prisoner whctber be wished to say
anything upon the subject?
The prisoner seemed inclined to enter into a full explanation,
but was advised by his Solicitor not to say a word.
Ills Louisate then declared, that be considered it necessary to
send the case to Manchester, & backed the warrant for that purpuse.
