CROWN SIDE John farrell stood indicted for forging, and uttering, knowing to be forged, a 5 pound Bank of England note, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the said Bank. Mr. Common Sergeant on behalf of the prosecutrix stated, that in consequence of the prisoner's having acknowledged himself guilty of having in his possession a considerable quantity of forged and counterfeit Bank of England Notes which offence subjecting him to transportation for 14 years, his clients instructed him to say, they they forebore prosecuting this prisoner on the capital indictment, believing that the ends of public justice would be perfectly accomplished in the removal of the prisoner our of the country. The Jury therefore - under the direction of the learned Judge, found the prisoner Not Guilty; but the court immediately pronounced sentence of transportation upon him for 14 years, upon his own confession, for having in his possession a quantity of forged Bank notes, knowing them to be forged.
