Summkr Assizes —Oxford Circuit, Gloucester. — John 

 Smith, a man about 50 years of age, was charged with having 

 forged the indorsement of Thomas Gardner, an attorney of Glou- 

 cester, to a bill of exchange drawn upon Thomas Wadley, of Maise- 

 more, in this county, for the sum of 1 7:>l. Both parties being well 

 known in this city and its vicinity, the case excited considerable 

 interest, and the court during the investigation was densely 

 crowded. The bill in question was made on the Gth January, 1S4'/, 

 and singularly enough, although the prosecutor disputed the bill 

 in the month of March following, no steps were taken by him until 

 the present time respecting the alleged forgery, notwithstanding 

 that Smith all along maintained the genuineness of the document, 

 and sued the acceptor upon it at the Gloucester assizes, when he 

 recovered the amount from Wadley, who made no defence to the 

 action. On that occasion the plaintiff's case was, that he had had 

 many money transactions with the prisoner, who is a money 

 lender and bill discounter, and that on the Gth January, 1842, a 

 kind of arrangement was effected between them, on which occa- 

 sion Smith mule Gardner his debtor for 1751. 7s. 2d., though 

 Gardner denied that the balance against him was so large. Hov 

 ever, he pave Smith a bill at two months, drawn entirely in his 

 (Gardners] handwriting, for the sum of 175/., desiring him to get 

 Wadley's acceptance to it. This was afterwards procured. Gard- 

 ner did not indorse the bill, excusing himself from so doing upon 

 the ground that while it was running Smith was not to attempt 

 to negotiate it until they had arrived at a clear understanding re- 

 specting the outstanding account between them. According to 

 Gardner's statement. Smith never furnished the requisite docu- 

 ment. Notwithstanding the omission, however, upon the bill 

 arriving at maturity, Smith sent it to his attorney, with Gardner's 

 name affixed to it, instructing him, at the same time, to proceed 

 against Gardner and Wadley for the amount, for which, as already 

 stated, he obtained a verdict. On this occasion Gardner swore 

 most positively that his indorsement was a forgery; and a great 

 number of witi les, well acquainted with his handwriting, stated 

 that they did not believe the indorsement to be his. A man of the 

 name of Luke Merchant was called to prove a very extraordinary 

 conversation alleged to have taken place in the presence of nu- 

 merous persons, at the Parrot Inn, in which the prisoner endea- 

 voured openly to compel a person of the name of Cooper to under- 

 take to swear that he saw Gardner write his name to the bill, 

 which Cooper said at first that he could not do, but afterwards, on 

 bmith s menacing him with transportation if he did not, he declared 

 that 'by God he would." Merchant added that he took down 

 the whole ot this dialogue upon a slate, as it proceeded, and copi< 

 it afterwards into a book. On cross-examination, it was elicited 

 from him that he had wilfully introduced into his schedule, before 

 the Insolvent Court, a fabricated statement as to the ownership of 

 a house, and then swore that that was correct ; though he added 

 that this was done entirely at Smith's suggestion. The judge de- 

 clared that the deposition of such a witness could not be received 

 against any party.- Gardner himself was subjected to a severe 

 and searching cross-examination. The investigation of this case 

 occupied the court for nine hours, and ended in an acquittal,

thJ«rtnfn 1Ve ^ b y. Me » ,r »- G1 y n - The prisoner was detected in 

 the act of opening he letters. After the examination of several 

 witnesses, Mr. Ballantyne said, he did not feel it to be his duty to 

 struggle with this case. He could not shake the evidence against 

 the prisoner. He had no instructions to contradict anything that 

 had been stated, and consequently could not attempt any rea- 

 sonable defence. He should therefore merely call a witness to 

 prove the previous good character of the prisoner. One witness 

 was called, who stated that he had known the prisoner for twenty 

 years, and that he had always borne an excellent character The 

 jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Baron Gurney 

 then passed sentence. His lordship said the prisoner had been 

 convicted on the clearest testimony of a most grave and serious 

 offence. He was employed as a servant in the General Post Office, 

 and it appeared that establishment never engaged any one whose 

 character would not bear the strictest investigation. Previous 

 character was required for the interest of the public, as a pledge 

 lor the honest performance of duty; but in this case, it had been 

 areadfully abused. Many poor creatures, said his lordship, (ad-

Sackritle, alias Davis aged 27, was indicted SIKCSmE? 



mg and uttering a bill of exchange, for the payment of <>gm »i& 



intent to defraud Simon Kendall. The prisoner, whose exterior 



presented a fashionable appearance, had been arraigned on a nr^ 



vious day and had pleaded " Not Guilty." Mr. Ballantine who 



had been retained for the defence, rose and said, that the prisoner 



as anxious to withdraw his former plea, and by pleading guilt) 

 to throw himself upon the merciful consideration of the Court 

 Mr. Clarkson, on behalf of the prosecution, said he was instructed 

 to recommend the prisoner to mercy. Mr. Baron Gurney, in 

 passing the sentence of the Court, said, that on looking over the 

 depositions which had been returned, he had found that it 

 would have been impossible for the learned counsel for the 

 prisoner to have contended against the evidence which those 

 depositions disclosed. It was manifest that the prisoner had de- 

 termined to live entirely by fraud and forgery, and had carried on 

 his plans with the greatest impudence and effrontery, though in 

 this instance the prisoner had not received the proceeds of the 

 forgery in question j— no thanks to him. The effort had been 

 made; and notwithstanding the recommendation to mercy made 

 by the prosecutor, the Court could not do less than pass upon the 

 prisoner a sentence of transportation for the term of twenty years. 

 —Pietro Valler, jeweller, Francisco Enrico, fencing-master, and 

 Henry Harrison, draper, were indicted for feloniously making 

 certain orders for the payment of money, purporting to be orders 

 of the Directors of the Administration-office of Funds in the 

 kingdom of the Netherlands. The evidence in this case has 

 been several times before the public at considerable length in 

 the police reports within a short time. The details are simply 

 these. Harrison called upon an artist named Rosenthal, who 

 resides in the Waterloo-road.onthe l 6th July last, and after some 

 introductory observations, engaged him to engrave and print 

 off 350 fac-sirniles of a Netherlands coupon of the value of 21. 

 He agreed to pay 3/.l0s. for the work. Mr. Rosenthal, suspect- 

 ing that all was not right, watched him, and saw him join the 

 other two prisoners. The forged plate was to be prepared by 

 the following Friday, but Mr. Rosenthal gave information, and 

 proceeded with the work under cover of legal protection, and by 

 the direction of the Consul-General of the Netherlands and the 

 police authorities. When the coupons were ready, the prisoners 

 Valler and Harrison called for them, and Valler took them 

 away. A police-sergeant of the detective force followed, and 

 traced them to an inn, where Enrico was waiting, and they 

 were all taken into custody. The jury returned a verdict of 

 Guilty against all the prisoners. Sentence, transportation for 

 10 years each.— Two young women, Faith Bowerman ai.d Sarah 

 H if land, were convicted, the former of the manslaughter of her 

 infant, by throwing it over a wall 10 feet high, immediately 

 after its birth ; and the latter of concealing the birth of her 

 infant, the body of which was found in her box, with the 

 head crushed, and a pettict at-string tied round its throat. 

 Mr. Baron Gurney sentenced each of them to imprisonment, 

 with hard labour, for the term of two years. — Captain 

 Jennings, of the Acosta, who was indicted about six months 

 since with M. Zulueta, on the charge of being concerned 

 in the slave trade, but whose trial did not then come on 

 in consequence of his not having been apprehended, having 

 subsequently surrendered himself, was brought ud for trial. It 

 will be recollected that, on the former occasion, M. Zulueta 

 was acquitted. Mr. Prendergast, on behalf of the prisoner, 

 handed in a plea that he had already been tried at Sierra Leone 

 and acquitted. Mr. Payne, for the prosecution, applied for a 

 postponement until the next session, in order to give time to 

 consider the plea. The principal witness (Captain Hill) had not 

 yet returned from the coast of Africa. The Court granted the 

 application, and the prisoner having renewed his bail, was al- 

 lowed to stand out until the next session. — A melia Alfery was 

 indicted ;for feloniously attempting to murder, by drowning, 

 her two children, Mary Sar»h, otherwise Ann French, aged six 

 years, and Henry William French, a-ed about four. The par- 

 ticulars of this case were given in this paper a few weeks back. 

 It will be recollected that the poor woman had been cruelly 

 treated and. deserted by the father of the children, and that she 

 attempted to drown herself and them in a pond at Wandsworth. 

 She was rescued by her brother, a young lad, and the gardener 

 of a gentleman at Wandsworth. For the oefenceit was argued 

 that the unhappy young woman had lost her senses in conse- 

 quence of the misconduct of the father, and it was evident, 

 from her uniform kindness and affection to her children, that 

 she was not in the possession of her faculties at the time she 

 committed the act for which she had been indicted. Mr. Baron 

 Gurney summed up the evidence, aud expressed himself in 

 terms of the greatest severity with regard to the heartless and 

 unfeeling conduct of the man who had engaged the prisoner's 

 affections, with whom she had lived for six years, and to whom 

 she had borne those two children. He recommended the jury 

 to acquit her on the ground of iusanity, and she would then be 

 taken proper care of. The jury returned a verdict of Not 

 Guilty, she being of unsound mind. Mr. Baron Gurney then 

 called up the little boy, William Alfery, and said that he had to 

 commend him for his courageous conduct and great presence 

 of mind in saving his sister's and the childrens' lives, but he 

 was sorry to be obliged to add that he had not this day told all 

 he knew, from an impression that his evidence would tell 

 against his sister. 



Police.— On Saturday the Hon. W. R. Tuchet, who has heen 

 so frequently remanded on the charge of shooting Mr. Smith, the 

 gun-maker in Holborn, was brought up at Bow-street for his 

 final examination. The prosecutor, an elderly gentleman, at- 

 tended to give evidence; he still appeared very weak, and was, 

 therefore, accommodated with a seat at the table. He then detailed 

 the facts as they were given in this Paper at the time, and his 

 statements were confirmed by the testimony of his son and the po- 

 lice-officer who apprehended the prisoner. The surgeon of St. 

 Bartholomew s Hospital stated that on Saturday, the 6th July, he 

 admitted Mr. Smith as an inpatient, with a pistol-shot wound 

 mimed.ately above the loins. Upon examining the wound with a 

 probe, he found it passed downwards about two inches; at this 

 depth he met with a resisting body, which he supposed to be either 

 a bullet or a particle of bone. It was extracted on the 6th August 



hn!51 , n T-l " adm,ssion _ t0 the hospital), and proved to be the 

 bullet The prosecutor had gone on favourably since its extrac- 

 tion; there was still part of the lumbar vertebra? which prevented 

 Wlt«2?S J"°m healing, but no danger was now apprehended.
