383. EDWIN ALLEN COLLIER , Feloniously endorsing and uttering an order for the payment of £10, with intent to defraud.
MR. BESLEY Prosecuted; MR. LOCKWOOD, Q. C., and MR. WITT D Defended.
After the commencement of the case, THE RECORDER considered that it turned on the construction of an elaborate agreement between the prosecutors and the prisoner, who was their agent, and that being so, it would not be possible for the Jury to find him guilty.
NOT GUILTY .
