Trial of John Hevy for Bath Bank forgery at Old Bailey
At the Old Bailey on Saturday John Hevy faced a forgery indictment over a Bath Bank Bill payable to Barnard M'Carthy. The case centered on a forged indorsement allegedly signed by M'Carthy to defraud Beauchamp and associates. Hevy testified the indorsement was M'Carthy's writing, while Beauchamp insisted the bill was forged. The jury deliberated under judge Mr. Justice Athurst's guidance, with emphasis on whether M'Carthy authored the indorsement and Hevy's representations to Beauchamp. An instance of Hevy's humane conduct in court was noted, and Dowling admitted to doubts over future prosecutions.
