or order; that is the bill that is now produced; I looked at it and told them that as it was payable to Swyer or order, it required an indorsement; upon this Nangle took a pen and indorsed it, and the other man, before he indorsed it, whispered to him; and he was present when it was indorsed.</p>
<p>Court. Look at the indorsement?</p>
<p>Barrett. That indorsement was wrote by Nangle; Nangle was the man who offered it in payment; I paid the difference in cash, and each of them took a parcel of the goods I had sold them; they were done up in two parcels; Mr. Pierrepoint called upon me that night, and I paid him that bill in part of an account we settled between us; it was Nangle who immediately bargained for the goods; but the other interfered so far as to say whether they were bad or good, or he liked the quality of them; I afterwards apprehended them both; I met Nangle on the 26th of July, and another man with him; I sent for my apprentice; the person I sent had fixed them, and when the apprentice came he agreed in opinion with me, that these were the two men; I apprehended them; at the time they were taken they were loitering about near the Bank; I sent for my apprentice before I took them that I might be sure of the men; <rs type="persName" id="t17740907-66-person548"> <interp inst="t17740907-66-person548" type="role" value=""></interp>

. I am apprentice to the last witness; I remember the prisoners coming to the shop; it was in the afternoon; they cheapened some goods; they would not have them cut off til l they had first shewn the note to Mr. Barrett; Love said shew the gentleman the bill to see whether he likes it or not, before we have any thing cut off; Mr. Barrett took the bill and said it required an indorsement; Nangle took a pen and ink and wrote <rs type="persName" id="t17740907-66-person550"> <interp inst="t17740907-66-person550" type="role" value=""></interp>

upon the back; some words passed in a whisper, I could not hear what they were, but Mr. Barrett had before that told them it required an indorsement; then Mr. Barrett made a bill of the goods and put them up in separate parcels; each of them took a parcel; Love went out half a minute before Nangle; my master sent for me about the 15th of July to the lottery office.</p>
<p>Q. Is that the post bill that was produced by the two prisoners, and tendered to your master?</p>
<p>Twiddle. (Inspects it) I am sure it is, because there is a particular blotch in the name I can speak to it by; my master sent for me in order to see if I knew the two prisoners at the bar after he had met them in the street; I went to Richardson and Goodluck's office; a man that I had put upon watch asked me if he was to stand there; I said yes; there I asked where my master was; I beckoned to him at a little distance off, then the man came and said the men were just at the other end of the lottery office; I saw them there, and a third person with them; I was then certain of Nangle's person, and I am sure of it now; they were apprehended and taken to the Manston-house; I never saw the men till they came to my master's shop to buy the goods there; they came some time between five and nine in the afternoon, I cannot be positive to the hour; the men were near a quarter of an hour in the shop; I was behind a compter on the other side of the shop; Mr. Barrett stood behind the opposite compter; Mr. Barrett gave change for the bill; they just weighed the money, but I believe they took some guineas that were light, because they were in a hurry.</p>

. I am servant to Mr. Biggs; the two prisoners came to our shop; they looked at some goods and bought some, and they presented a bank post bill for fifty pounds; having some suspicion of it I desired my master to let me go out to get it changed; I did not mean to change it; I went out and returned, and said I could not get it changed; they said it did not much signify, they were going into the city and would call for them as they came back; I went after them, I did not keep them in my eyes all the way; coming by Mr. Barrett's shop I saw them in the shop; I watched till they came out<xptr type="pageFacsimile" doc="177409070038"></xptr>
again, and then I asked Mr. Barrett if he had given them change for a bill; he said he had; I told him my suspicions about it; he said they had indorsed it to him, he thought there was no danger of losing the money; I watched them to Whitechapel Bars, from thence to Leman-street; I saw them go into a house called the English Hotel; I told Mr. Barrett of it; I am sure they are the same men; they are not in the same dress now they were then; each then had a bundle under his arm.</p>
<p>Q to Vernon. When these bank bills are issued payable to order, do the Bank pay them without an order?</p>
<p>Vernon. No, not without a proper indorsement from the party to whom it is made payable; if a bill comes, and the person to whom it is payable cannot be found, which is sometimes the case, they then require a particular receipt.</p>

I am a linendraper in the Minories; Nangle came to my shop, on the 28th of June, about six in the afternoon, and bought a piece of Irish cloth, and four neckcloths; he said I must give him change for a bill of 36 l. 18 s. 4 d.

The man who was waiting at the publick house produced that fifty pound note, and Nangle gave him a twenty pound bank note, and the rest in cash; it was between three and four o'clock when I met Nangle; the man then went away. I do not know to whom it was payable, but I believe one Swyer or Sawyer, or such name; (it is shewn him). I believe that bill is the same; the master and Donnelly were in the room at the same time. I have known Nangle two or three years ago at Liverpoole. I have not seen him till this particular time; I am sure it was on Thursday; I think it was the 28th.
