Prosecution of Hannis v Smith and Fraud Case at Central Crown
The Prosecution of Hannis v Smith involved a beneficed clergyman accused of dismissing a parish clerk. A mandamus to restore office was set aside after the defendant alleged misconduct. Lord Denman ruled removal from freehold office must follow inquiry, quashing the mandamus. At the Central Criminal Court Elizabeth Todd and Sarah Trussler faced forgery charges for falsely claiming Mary Todd identity to withdraw £116 from Marylebone Savings Bank. The jury found them guilty. Justice Coleridge sentenced both to two years in the House of Correction, with potential mitigation on appeal.
