W, Dorah, at N.P. --------------------------------------------------- Conduct Record: https://stors.tas.gov.au/CON33-1-28$init=CON33-1-28p87 --------------------------------------------------- Supreme Court, Criminal Side, 2 June. James Hayes and Nicholas Kelly were placed at the bar, charged first with forging on the 1st October a certain promissory note for the payment of £10, with intent to defraud George Guy, and secondly, Nicholas Kelly was charged by a second count with feloniously uttering and offering the said note on the 3rd October ; both prisoners having previously pleaded Not Guilty. His Honor took an objection to the information, on the ground, as we understood, that it was not competent to the Court to try both the prisoners at the same time, inasmuch as they were charged with two distinct offences, the forgery being one thing, the uttering another ; in this case there was no analogy between stealing and receiving, as these involved one felonious transaction. The Attorney-General argued in support of the information, referring to, and quoting cases in point from " the books," and the trial proceeded before the following jurors: Messrs, D. M'Gregor (foreman), T. Priest, G. Morton, D. Lewis, D. Barclay, J. Smith, S. Maddocks, R. Rees, H. Dormer, J. T. Cochram, H. Bye, W. Sherwin. The trial occupied the Court from 4 o'clock in the afternoon till 11 at night, when the jury acquitted Hayes of the forgery, and delivered a verdict against Kelly to the effect, that he uttered the note, but not knowing it to be forged. His Honor could not take the verdict in that form, and the jury were locked up for the night under the usual surveillance by the Sheriff's department. SATURDAY, JUNE 3. At the opening of the Court the prisoner Kelly was placed at the bar, and the jury empanelled in the case having taken their seats and answered to their names, returned, through their foreman, Mr. M'Gregor, a verdict of Not Guilty against Kelly, who was discharged.
