Trial of Jour Matthison for Bank of England forgery

An early 18th century record details the trial at the Old Bailey of John Matthison on charges of forging a twenty pound Bank of England note dated March. Witnesses include Edward Mann a Coventry silversmith and Jeremiah Wall a bank clerk who traced the note, with Bank officials testifying to signature and watermark discrepancies. The prisoner claimed his statements earlier were to gain favor. The case includes notes on the alleged forging process, paper, watermarks and related evidence leading to his defense.
