An artful young rogue, named Lucas was brought up in custody, before the Devonport Bench of Magistrates, on Wednesday week, charged with having forged the name of respectable tradesman of Fore street to a Bank Post Bill for £40, and thereby obtaining payment of the same. On Monday week, the young hopeful went to Messrs. Pinsent and Co, in Market Street, and passing by the assistants at the counter, proceeded directly to the counting house, and asked for change of a Bank Post Bill for £40, at the same time presenting the paper. Mr. Pinsent, having examined it, asked who sent him, when the promptly replied, Mr. Elliott, Fore Street. Mr. Pinsent then told Lucas that if Mr. Elliott would endorse the bill he would cash it. Thereupon Lucas left, and soon afterwards returned with the bill endorsed “John Elliott,” when Mr. Pinsent at once paid him the amount. Upon the bill being sent to the Devon and Cornwall Bank, it was refused through some informality, and Mr. Pinsent then called on Mr. Elliott, who had not any knowledge of the bill. A search was then made after the prisoner, who, it appeared had recently been employed as errand boy at Mr. Boolds fancy warehouse, Fore Street. Having obtained the cash the first proceeding on the part of Lucas was to purchase a leather purse at Mr. Heydon’s. He then got some half-a dozen young companions, and gave them a treat s at Plymouth Fair, where they visited all the shows. They returned to Devonport in a cab, and treated cabby like a gentleman.” Our young hopeful also had a taste for sporting, as appears from his having visited the shop of Mr. Treliving, where seeing Mr. T. finishing off a fowling piece, Lucas expressed himself highly pleased with the “stock, lock and barrel” and having enquired the “damage” he told Mr. Treliving that if he would use despatch and finish it off by the next day, he would give him “an extra sixpence!” thereupon leaving half a sovereign deposit. The next day the young sportsman called for the gun and purchased a powder flask and having laid in a stock of powder and shot, sallied forth to do execution upon the cocksparrows. While thus occupied, in one of the Ordnance fields, he was espied by an apprentice of Messrs. Pinsent. When Mr. Pinsent proceeded to the spot, and soon discovered our sportsman trying his hand at shooting at a dead dog in the trenches. When told he was wanted, he replied with perfect nonchalance, that he “was engaged and hadn’t time to go”. His gun was however taken from him, and he was carried off to the police station. From the evidence of a lad named White, it appeared that a few minutes after one on Monday, he saw Lucas at the head of Chapel Street, outside the door of Mr. Harris, stationer. Prisoner asked what the Christian name of Mr. Elliott was; not being able to tell he went and looked at the sign, and found it was John which he told the prisoner, who then took pen out of his pocket, went into Mr. Harris’s, and got a dip of ink and wrote something on a piece of paper on the window ledge, telling him, witness, that the paper was worth a great deal of money and that he had picked it up in Fore Street near the Bank. On Tuesday, Messrs. Pinsent had a bag containing £33 4s – brought to them by a boy, to whom Lucas had given it to take care of for him. Prisoner is not 14 years old and has appeared before the Bench on one or two previous occasions.
