The Forgeries on Lord Dudley. — Earrar and Hullett, the prisoners charged with forging the name of Lord Dudley to a bill purporting to be payment for an opera—" King Tolo"— to be written by Hullet, have been coinmited for trial. Nothing specially interesting occured at the re-examination. Lord Dudley was called as a witness, and repudiated all knowledge of the transactions, stating he never gave bills. Mr. Lewis, adressing the Bench, said Mr. Mapleson was at present absent in Ireland; and could not be called as a witness, but he had reason to know that the prisoner Hullet wrote to him after Her Majesty's Theatre had been burned down, offering to advance the sum of £10,000 towards rebuilding it, and afterwards another letter offering £4,000. To those letters Mr Mapleson wrote answers, and that was all the knowledge he had of him. That was the mode by which persons sometimes obtained signatures with a view to commit forgery. — Orchestra,
