Forged Peel Check Hoax and List of Preston Manufacturers
A forged check for £401 17s 6d purporting to be drawn by Sir Robert Peel was dropped in Ave Maria lane. Warren, son of a Strand butcher, sent it to Peel, who confirmed the note’s falsity. The incident signals a deliberate hoax by using a “sir” prefix. The report also lists manufacturers named by Mr. Villiers denying charges against Ferrand.
