Court hears defence case in forgery trial

The prisoner faces a capital charge as Mr. Bousfield and Mr. Jones dispute the acceptances, Favell is ill, and Favell’s apothecary warns of danger of removal. Serjeant-Shepherd argues against evidence on handwriting, Lord Kenyon urges fair, impartial justice and careful use of witnesses. The prisoner cites dependence on merchant practice with Adamson, describing bills, discounts, and solvency, while maintaining ignorance of some transactions.
