Mrs. Anne Alamos en tereafawr teg samilmat in Cutler.street,
Houndsditch, was charged with uttering bilL—k appeared
that some time ago. MT. Jonas Levi, a watch and clock maker,.
discounted a bill of exchange for 2197 L as. 4d. which was brought
to him by Daniel Myers, thc..pahoner's son, drawn by the prisoner,
and purported to have been accepted by Messrs. Walker, Patter,
sad Co. lead merchants, of Thames-street. The bill was to have
become dee on the 7th September; bat on the day before, Daniel
Myers called upon Mr. Levi, sod produced another bill for
4881. Is. ed. dated 18th of July, len, drawn by Anne Myers, sa
tempted by Messrs. Watkin, Parker, and Co. and payable ale months
after date. It was payable at the house of Sir William Curtis and
Co. Daniel Myers wished to have the former bill returned, and
Mr. Levi therefore gave hint that Mil, and a sum of MIL Ins. 4.d.
deducting the IL es ad. for the discount, and received from hint
she abuve.mentioned bill. Before be consented to make this
arrangement of returning the bill whick was to be so soon due, he
hod entertained some suspicion at being requested to consent to it,
tendmid to Daniel Myets that he wished to be fully satisfied of the
regularity of the transaction. Myers raid to him immediately—
" Go over to mother, and you shall be quite satisfied of the cor-
rectness of it." He also said that the bill was for lead whit% bad
been sold to Watkins and Parkins. Mr. Levi knew that Daniel
Myers had dealings at that house, because he bad received from
the former a genuine bill of theirs about twelve months ago. He
went to Mrs. Myers (the prisoner) at her warehouse, held the bill
in his hand, and said to her—" Mrs. Myers. your son has brought
me this bill, drawn by yourself on Walker, Parker, and Co.—is it
correct?" " Perfectly so," replied Mrs. Myers; we sold them
a lot of pig lead, and if you wish to be further satisfied, Daniel will
throw open the hook and 'thew you for ycJr satisfaction." The
book was accordingly thrown open by Daniel, and there did appear
in It an entry for lead. corresponding with the amount and date of
the bill. Mr. Levi then, upon this representation of Mrs. Myers,
delivered up the old bill and took the new one, which was per-
fectly filled up.
In answer to a question put by Mr. Anotmtue who attended for
Mrs. Myers, Mr. Levi said that Daniel Myers bad carried on bad-
ness for his mother—that his mother could not read or write, and
that be always wrote for her; her name to the bill was, therefore,
in his band writing.
A witness was then tailed, who proved that the bill was a forgery.
Mr. Aootenus said that Mrs. Myers knew nothing of the matter.
She was a mere tacit creature in the bands of her son, who did all
her business for her. She placed every reliance upon his repress..
tations, and considered that the transaction described to her by bin
Levi was correct.
Mr. Levi—When I went to her I told her the amount of the
bill, and she told me that she had told the lead to that amount, sod
that it was all right.
An applivatiou was made to admit the prisoner to bail, but It was
refused, and she was remanded until Monday.
