East Kent Quarter Sessions, Tuesday last: Before J.B. Wildman Esq.

Peter McGowan, 39, traveller, was charged on four counts, with felony and embezzlement from William Howland, of Boughton, from Eliza Wells, at Newington, and from Charles Wells, at the same place. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty to all the indictments. Mr. Addison appeared for the prosecution.

William Howland – I am a baker, of Boughton. I first saw the prisoner in July, at the "White Horse," Boughton. He said he wanted some good timber, and my father recommended him some in Lord Winchelsea's park. On the 3rd August I saw him again. He came to my house, and I afterwards met him at the White Horse. He asked me whether I had got any cash. I said “I may have a little – perhaps a couple of sovereigns.” He said “I have got £12,000 in Rochester Bank. If you could oblige me with a couple of sovereigns, I will return them this evening.” I lent him the money. I did not see him again till I saw him in custody at Folkestone.

George Walter – I am a clerk in the bank of Messrs. Day and Nicholson, at Rochester. There is a branch of the London and County Bank, but our bank is usually called the Rochester Bank. The prisoner never kept an account with us.

Albert Rattray, a clerk in the Chatham branch of the London and County Bank, said that the prisoner never had any account with that Bank.

The prisoner, in his defence, said he expected the money would be at the Bank. He was convicted.

The second count was for stealing a pair of trousers, the property of the same man.
Mr. Howland was again called, and said that on the 2nd of August the prisoner came to him and told him that he had an accident with his trousers, by slipping into a cistern – that he was going to the Rochester Bank to draw £12,000 – that he could not get them washed – could prosecutor oblige him with a pair of trousers for one night? Thereupon he went up and lent him a pair, a good pair, worth 27s.; he went away and prosecutor never saw him again till he met the prisoner at Folkestone.

The prisoner said that the pair he left was as good as the pair he took away, but the prosecutor, with much warmth, denied that the prisoner left any in place of those he took away. Prisoner was convicted.

On the third count the prisoner was charged with obtaining £1 by false pretences from Eliza Wells.

Prisoner made a similar statement in this case as in the other case – that he was going to Ashford Bank to receive some money. Prosecutor lent him a sovereign. The same evening she saw him again. He said he must go next day to Dover, where he should be sure to get it.

Evidence was given to prove that prisoner had no account either at Ashford or Dover Banks, and the jury convicted him.

He was sentenced to two months' hard labour.
