Bank clerk who it has been stated has undergone two on the charge of having forged dividend warrants, but net in conjunction with Armitage, was on I. riday finally eri mined, and as it cannot TiOW prevent the furtherance of justice by stating the case, the following is the substance of it : The prisoner was a Bank Clerk in the Imperial Annuity Office, and the warrants forged were to obtain the dividends of a person who had been dead about three years, and whose exe cutors had not applied for his property. It appeared that 3601. had been paid out of the Bank, and the prisoner had signed, as an attesting witness. It was also proved, that Bank-notei, with which the dividends were paid, were found in the prisoner's possession. Under these circumstances the prisoner was fully committed for trial. Thisis one of the cases disclosed by Ro berts.--Mr. Alley attended as Counsel for the prisoner, assisted by Mr. Harmer, Solicitor. Armitage has also been fully committed. Roberts and his wife are the principal witnesses against him. H— was also examined a second time on the charge of having passed a 51. note. It will be recollected that the pri soner said he had received the note in payment for b..ots, but at this examination there were two other charges against him for passing forged notes, and he was fully committed fur trial. eq4 THE NATIONAL RFG L 41114 _ZZEPORTS The Bank examinations ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, A young man of the name of LucKETT, a publican near Ashford, Kent, applied for Police aid yesterday to recover his wlfe, whom 1w had traced to London, she having eloped with a soldier, a corporal in the Royal Waggon Train, on S:iturikl,- se'nnight, with f3Ol. in money, and deserted two infant children. The complainant had traced his wife to lodgings in Lerwick street, and on inquiring for her was met by the soldier, whoai united him and swore never to part with his acre aerie. It turned out, however, that the soldier had deserted, and he was taken into custody on this charge and committed, and after con siderable persuasion, the lady having thus been deprived of her gall nt, consented to return to her family at the solicitation of her husband.
