Forgery Case Ties Prisoners to Newgate Trial
Evidence shows the prisoners forged seamen wills and profited from them. Testimony disputes their residence and handwriting with the will as a key witness. Lea’s documents reveal extensive involvement and large sums gained, leading to commitment for trial on a capital offence. Mr Hartree had earlier paid wages on a forged will, later refunded when the fraud was proven.
