The SndIcrInrrerie..

One Sadler an English NJ p has been making
over issuos Of railroad stock. He out Schuylered
Schuyler:
We have already had hints Of the preparation of
enormous forgeries in England by John sadler, ~
", who, before :he discovery of his deed was made
was iound dead in a ditch near London HE
Operations we're carried on prodigious scale
aud reached TO the enormous amount OF 81 800, 600
The L1ndoa Morning Advertiser say:
There is every reason 10 believe that when all is
known it will be found that tn, amount Of frauds
OF which the late Mr.. JOHN Sidler has heen guilty
will not be much under el 900 600. First, il has
been sscertained beyond all question that Mr.
oAdler had forged fewer than 90 600 ROYAL
Swedish Railway COmpany's shares obligations Of
IS each, which large sums Of money re
raised. This forgery alone is TO the nominal snn
OF E25O 600, only it Is not yet known what amount
he able TO raise on the shares aud obligations
In addition 20 these iorgeres there are forgeries OF
several deeds ami mortgages Of estates in ireland
As regards those, however the extent is not vet
known; but perhaps the boldest and mast daring
forgeries Of all those which relate tn the deeds
for the purchase Of property in the Encountered
Estates Court Of ireland. The forged deeds pur
port 10 bear the signatures Of the commissioners,
the registers the chief clerk, the collectors in the
various causes and the commissioners seal The
extent to which this class of forgeries has been
committed may be inferred from the fact that the
stump cuty alone on these amounted TO several
hundred pounds
A considerable number of forgeries on private
individuals, also have already been discovered, and
there is every 10 believe that others re
main to be ascerthined.
Those which have been detected are supposed 70
amount to nearly elO0,OO00. In addition TO the
classes of forgeries already enumerated, Mr. Sajler
has been guilty Of the assignment Of deeds held ir
trust by him 20 an enormous amount. The drafts
all the forged deeds and mortgages are in Mr. Saders
own handwriting.
The forgeries Of signatures are in every case re-
marksbly su cessiul. Those of the Encumberei
Commissioners are said TO be so perfect, that the
most experienced sage could not detect the forged
deeds from the genuine.
The act OF sef-destruction was il is believed
precpitated by the circumstance of four Of the
holders of deeds relative to the purchase Of one OF
the encountered estates, who had advanced Gl0.-
600 to Mr.. Sadlier, having on Saturday last gone
over TO Ireland with his SOLICITOR for the purpose Of
having the Decd registered. Mr.. Sadler endeav-
ored TO Illustrate the intention OF the party, but
failed. On the Continent, too, where his uansac.
tons we're 70 an enormous eItent great alarm pre-
walls. In letter which be wrote before leaving
Gloucester Square for Hamstead Heath, where he
put an end TO ais existence he declared that with.
out the know. ledge of any human being, unaided
aud unnssissted, he committed the most daboca
crimes Oi winch IL was possllhe 10 DE guilty. that
these crimes must now be discovered and as they
would involve the ruin ofhundreds Of innocent FAM
lilies, be preferred TO die rather than witness the SUI
ferings which they must endure.
The crime of suicide must have been contemplat-
ed 10y Mr.. Sadlier for some time before he commits
ed the act for be purchased "Tay Tor Poisoning"
and and evidently read it through Till he came TO
the chapter on the essential oil Of bitter almonds,
when he turned down the page, as il he had made
up his mind.
The frauds Of Sir John Paul Strahan & Bates are
not only much smaller in amount, but they are tame
when compared with his.
They denote a combination Of criminality, bold
ness, ingenuity and tact, such as the world never
before witnessed.
