J, P. T0U&ITER & CO

Geo. J. Taylor of this p!la was taken to Bedford on Thursday

to aoswer to a charge 5?t rorgory

He is a man of 60 years and a pensioner. After spending his pennion

money, he was handed and accepted

a letter at the postomce tiduressxl to Geo. W. Taylor. This letter

was for a man of that name wlio

resides near Hiudostan, and it con

tained a check for an increase of; pension, amounting to 557.20.

Taylor instead of presenting the

check here, went down to Joed lord

aud passed it on a clothing firm for j $5 worth of goods, and was paid the remainder in money. The clothier at first objected to cashing

the check, but as lay lor told a

plausible story about working at

one of the quarries, it wa received.

It seems, however, that laylor 'in

dorsed the check with his own ini

tials : "Geo. .1." instead of "Geo.

W.,"as it was in the body of the

check. When presented at; the

bank this was promptly pointed out, and the check refused. Tay

lor denied all this when armited here, but tbe goods were found in his house, and the clothing dealer

recognised him on sight.
