tOrger in this case is an imItator of the notori-
Ous W. II. Cooper, and struck for high figure.

HibleT, the following testimony was etcited:-
N. b. Browne swOrn-I am Assistant Trea'
surer OF the United States in Philadelphia; this
check was presented this morning at my office;
it purports to be drawn by Lieutenant. Colonel
David Taggart, Paymaster United states Army,
and Is dated August Il, 1866, No. 33i, for S2350;
the check was presented to the Paying Teller,
Allen g. Kitchener, and referred to myself being
familiar with Colonel Taggarts handwriting,
at once decided it a forgery, and asked the de-
fendaIt where he got it; he replied that he was
q clerk in Colonel Taggarts office; | asked his
name, and he declined to give it. He afterwards
said he had found the check; being satisfied of
the attempted fraud, ] ordered his arrest which
was done; / have since learned that his name is
William Henry Watson, at least he so repre-
sents it to be; am familiar with Colonel Tag
gaTt's handwriting, both from long acauaint-
ance and the transaction OF Official business;
tho signature is not his.
The defendant, who was not represented by
counsel, was asked if he desired to put any
questions to the witness, and he replied that he
did not
Peter Miles, a clerk in Colonel Taggarrs office,
testified that the defendant is not employed
there, and that the signature to the check is not
the Coloneps handwriting, nor bears any re-
semblance to it.
Sergeant Brodie, of the Mayors police, testi-
fed that he arrested the prisoner and took him
TO the Central Station, where ne had CONVEX
sation with him. Defendant said that he had
been but three days in Philadelphia; that he
was from England, having stopped at New York
city on the way, and that he had been in the
United States but about two weeks. He further
said that he bad been boarding with Mrs. Fitz-
simmons, at Seventh and Green streets, which
the Sergeant ascertained to be true.
In subsequent conversation with the Chief
of Police, he admitted that he got the check at
the recruiting office in Front street.
The Commissioner committed him in default
of $4,000 bail TO answer.
District Attorney Valentine asked the prisoner
if he had bail, to which lie replied-'I don't
want it; / could get bail in England to the
amount OF 10000, and if you send a despatch
is small sized man, of genteel dress and ap-
pearanee.

"HONoR AMONG THIEvEs."-An incident
occurred yesterday which illutrated some of
the nice punctilios of the thieving fraternity.
In the dock of the Court OF Quarter Sessions
were two individuals charged with burglary.
They were new TO the business, and none of the
detectives could recognize them as before in
their clutches. They pleaded mot guilty"
when arraigned and no more was thought Of
the case among the spectators in the court.
room. About an hour after the plea had been
entered, a PROFESSIONAL who is fortunate
enough to be at liberty at the present time,
stepped up to well-knowG member of the bar,
and, handing him $25 requested him to give
his services to the two untortunates about to
be tried. He accompanied the fee with the
remark that he had no acquaintance with the
fellows, bu., for the honor OF the profession"
he desired them defended. The lawyer took
the money, and stepping into Court, examined
the bills of Indictment, and discovered that
they were charged with burglary in entering a
dwelling and stealing five pounds of butter
and several quarts of milk. The lawyer re-
ported the state of affairs to his principal.
Imagine his astonishment at tue answer OF the
would.be friend of the strange burglars: s:-"Let
the fellows 90 up. If they stoop to stealing
butter and milk, they deserve all the Judge
can give them. Keep the $2j, and go to the
Judge and tell him to give them another
year !" The disgusted professional turned on
his heel and marched away, cursing the mean
ness of the men who had descended so low as
to steal provisions rather than more substantial
plumber.

A Bold BUBGLARY.-On Sunday morning,
between IL and 3 O'Clock most daring burglary
was committed In the repairing room of the tai
lOring establishment of William & James Neill,
in the fourth story of the Press building, at
Seventh and Chestnut streets. The room was
used entirely as workshop, and only such gar
ments 81 we're in hands to be repaired we're there
at the time of the robbery. Tue door was
opened with false keys, and from the indications
the thieves remained for some time and enjoyed
themselves to their hearts content. They LETT
their pipes, half filed with tobacco, upon the
table, but completely stripped the establishment.
1t Is supposed that the burglars we're alarmed by
the entrance of a lodger as portion of the cloth
ing abstracted was found upon the stairway. 1t
adds somewhat to the boldness of the robbery to
know that the attaches of the Sunday Press
were In the building at the time, and that the
locality is one OF the most public in the city.
There have been several attempts made to break
into the store of the Messrs. Nell, but as a pri-
vate watohman always remains in the room at
night they have not heretofore been successful.
1t becomes all business men to look carefully
alter their interests, as the hordes of scoundrels
who infest our city are always upon the lookout
for favorable opportunity to relieve some one
of their property In the present case no clue
has been obtained calculated to 6x the felony
upon any individuals, but our sharp detectives
are on the qsti UiUe.
