Indictment for forging and counterfeiting notes at Old Bailey
AMES BOLLAND was indicted at the Old Bailey on February 22 for forging and counterfeiting a promissory note in the name of Fes Bands with intent to defraud Francis Cardineaux and for uttering as true the forged indorsement. The note, dated in 1771 London, promised 100 pounds to Samuel Pritchard. Evidence traced the scheme through Jeffon, Lilburne, and Handsforth, detailing note discounting, alterations, and payments, with Cardineaux and Mortis involved in the attempted prosecution and discounting. The case follows the trail of the forged note through the George and Vulture taverns, the Sword Blade, and Hamburg coffee houses, ending with Bolland's denial and involvement in arranging discounting and payments.

James Bolland Involved in Forged Bill Case
The trial recounts Bolland denying recognition of a forged bill and claiming a misidentification by Jeffion. Witnesses testified about payments, receipts in the name of James Banks, and how the bill passed through Morris and Levi before the case reached the jury. The prisoner admitted no forgery, blaming Jeigin, with Cardineaux asserting payment and non-delivery when due. The jury convicted him of uttering and publishing a forged note knowing it was forged.
