LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday, Andrew Morgan, John Dalton, Robert Tighe alias Jones, Thomas Fallon, and Elizabeth Fallon, alias Peacock, alias Paternoster, charged with forging the will of George Lionel Friend, an aged and eccentric individual,  were finally examined, and committed for trial . Public Ledger, 9 May 1832. On Tuesday Andrew Morgan, John Dalton, Robert Tighe alias Jones, Thomas Fallon and Elizabeth Fallon, alias Peacock, alias Paternoster, who have been in custody for some days past, on a charge of forging a will purporting to be that of George Lionel Friend, an aged and eccentric individual, who died in Glasshouse-yard, Minories, in March last, possessed of considerable property, were brought before Messrs Hardwick and Tickle, for final examination, when the following additional testimony was adduced :—James Notman, a relative to the deceased Friend, stated   that, on the 21st of April last, the prisoner Fallon called on him at his house, and informed him that the will, which purported to be that of his relation, was a forgery, and  that neither he (Fallon) nor Any of the other parties to it had ever seen or knew any thing of the alleged testator until after his death; that the will, though it purported to have been drawn  up in January, had not been written until the middle of March ; that he saw it before the ink was dry, and that neither himself nor two others of the subscribing witnesses had ever signed it, but that their names were added by Morgan and the other prisoners. These facts he (Fallon) said he was ready if necessary to prove ; but entreated the witness, if he could do without him, to do so, assigning as a reason for not wishing to become a volunteer witness, that if the prisoners Morgan and Dalton knew he did so, they would without hesitation take his life. ... Baldwin’s London Weekly Journal, 12 May 1832. Old Bailey, May 24. These Sessions having terminated, the Recorder passed sentence of death upon the following 22 unhappy individuals,—viz., Andrew Morgan, John Dalton, Elizabeth Peacock alias Paternoster, Thomas Fuller, and Cornelius Driscoll, for forging wills and testaments; St James Chronicle, 26 May 1832.
