ALLEGED FRAUDS UPON A LOAN SOCIETY.—On Sa-
turday a man, of the name of George Belock, and a female,
of the name of Margaret Roberts, were brought before
Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having obtained money from
the Morning Star Loan Society by means of false pre-
tences. Mr. Henry Billington, the secretary and trea-
surer of the society, stated that the male prisoner called
on the Bth of February, made his mark at the bottom of
a promissory note for the payment of the loan he obtained,
and gave the fictitious name of John Blecklock, of Addi-
son-street, stone-mason. It subsequently turned out
that his real name was George Belock, and that he was a
painter. The female prisoner also obtained money from
the society in the name of Margaret James, whereas her
real name was Margaret Roberts. Mr. Rushton said there
was no doubt that a parcel of lies had been told, and that,
if the officers of the society made the same inquiries be-
fore they lent the money-that they seemed to have done
afterwards, these false statements would not have had any
injurious effect. The Secretary : "We made all the in-
quiries we could." Mr. Rushton : " Nay, that you did
not." The prisoners were ordered to be discharged.
