THE CONVICTS ORDERED FOR EXECIb

TIO4V:

Thomas Thomas Maynard wit; tried on the 16th of September,
with Richard Hubbard Jones, and Joseph William West, fora
forgery upon the Custom-house, to the amount of 1,9731.
Jones bad been a clerk in the Custom-house, and, from his
knowledge of the mode of transacting business In that establishment,
was well qualified to engage in the illegal transaction, and for which
the life of Maynard is ordered to be- forfeited. It is the practise
for the Comptroller ante Customs at the different outposts to semi
up a monthly return of the receipts and expenditure is their Ms
speedo, districts. If the receipts are not mildew m cover the
outlay, a notilicatioo to that effect is forwarded to the London
Istehlkimment, and a clerk is•tben directed to 11l up an outkoritp
' for the amuse required. This form is signed by the Cosh
Waimea, and then forwarded *to the Comptroller in the
emotry. He gets it cashed at a hanker's, they send it
their agents in Louden, and they, ost presenting k at the
Custom-house, MATO • check upon the Bank of England.
In the present INS an order for the sum of £1,973 puma* to
LUNN from the Comptroller at Fowey, is Cornwall, waegmmonsil
at the Custom-besee on the 11th of April. It appealed es have
passed through all the regular forms—..had en it •11 eisvaataary
signatures, and bore so strong a resemblance to the gemainesnee,
that no doubt was entertained. The party presenting it put hie
name upon it, " Maynard, for 11. Smith and Co." with the ad-
dress. A cheque was consequently drawn oo the Bank of Rag-
land for the payment of the £1,973, and it was immediately carried
to the Bank by two persons, who asked for £1,970 in notes, ;sad
£3 in goad. In about a quarter of an boor after the money had
boon paid in this manner, a person went to the Bank, and pre-
eissed gem* of the notes for gold, which he got. In the
mime of the day the forgery was discovered. To skew that
the prisoners were the persons who planned and carried this
deop•leid scheme into effect, it was proved that West and
Maynard had both been schoolmasters, and lodged together;
end Jones, who, as we before stated, was a clerk in the Cus-
tomhouse at the time this crime was committed, was ac-
quainted with the other prisoners. He had lodged with West,
and about the period of the forgery was• drinking in a pub-.
Wiliam with both the other prisoners. • He bad been in a eery
distressed condition up to April, when be suddenly appeared. to be
poesseerd of a considerable sum of money. He opened an. account
at Messrs. Mentalism's, paying in £730 in gold, and purchased
articles of various tradesmen to the amount of about seloo, for
which he paid reedy money. His career, however, was stopped in
the following manner :—About this time he went Into the shop of
Mr. Hamlet, jeweller, with hie face disguised with a pair et false
mustachios, and a tuft of hair on the chin, and having purchased
some jewellery to the amount of E 6 or £B, tendered in payment a
£lOO note. Notwithstanding the formidable appearance of his
face, the shopman, on receiving the note, discovered that Jones
laboured under great agitation, and be therefore lent the
ante to the Bank of England to be changed. Jones then became
more excited, and left the shop, saying he was going to the Temple,
sod would send a potter for the change. The note was stopped at
the Bank, as one of those which had been Obtained on the Custom-
house warrant. Jones was taken into custody a few days after-
wards. It was also proved that Maynard was the man who
presented the forged order, and received the cheque, and that West
sod Maynard afterwards exchanged some of the Bank-noses for
leovereigns ; eight out of nine 110 notes, paid at the Bank, were
mereeyed to Park, and were exchanged for Napoleon., which
French money was afterwards exchanged by West for nit of
Ragland notes. at the shop of Mr. Savery, of Combat. West and
Maynard were traced to Taunton, with two woolen, who passed
as their wives, and two children. Upon Maynard! £2BO were
found, and on West between £2OO and £3OO in Bank of England
DOM.
Up to the period of the fargery West and Maynard were always
in indigent circumstances, and could not pay their lodgings and
trilling debts they owed; but. immediately after, they were seen
with large sums of money. Notwithstanding this strong evidence,
the Jury did not think it sufficient to convict West, and he was
Acquitted. His fellow-prisonees were bob found Guilty. Jones
was transported for seven years, and Maynard awaits the sentence
of death.
