From the Borough of Greenwich Free Press, 6 October, 1855.
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.
