GREENWICH POLICE COURT. Saturday.

John Phillips, described as a boot closer, was brought up on remand before Mr. Traill, charged with attempting to pass a counterfeit shilling in payment of a glass of porter, at the "Wheatsheaf" public-house, Church-street, Greenwich.

From the evidence of Mr. Hone, the landlord, it appeared that the prisoner entered his house between five and six o’clock on the evening of Friday, the 21st ult., and called for a glass of porter, giving a bad shilling in payment. The prisoner received l1d. change, and left the house. The landlord almost immediately discovered the shilling was a counterfeit, and went after the prisoner, and brought him back, and gave him into custody.

The barmaid of the "Rose and Crown," Silver-street, Greenwich, also gave evidence to the effect that the prisoner came into her house on the same evening, about an hour previously to that mentioned by the last witness, and tendered a bad shilling in payment of a glass of porter. She told him it was a bad one, when he said "Is it?" and gave her a sixpence. He received his change, and immediately left the house, leaving the bad shilling.

The officer who took him into custody produced the bad money, and stated that on their way to the station the prisoner said, "Everybody is liable to take bad money."

Another instance was also given where the prisoner attempted to pass a bad crown piece at the Strood railway station, but owing to the station-master not wishing to proceed in the matter, he was allowed to escape.

The prisoner, in defence, said he was drunk on the evening in question, and changed a sovereign, among which he supposed he received the bad money. He was then committed for trial.
