An indictment was found 20th Feb. 1726, at Hicks's Hall before the Justices of Oyer and Terminer for Middlesex, against the defendant and one William Hayes, for that they intending to defraud the executors of Edmund Longbotham of 2801. 30th of October 1720, forged a certain writing vocatum a bond purporting to be an obligatory writing under the hand and seal of the said Edmund Longbotham, and to bear date the 18th of June 1718, to the said Thomas Hayes, in the penalty of 5601. with condition to pay 2801. on the first of December next following the date, &c. then the indictment proceeds, that the said jurors further present upon their oaths, that the two defendants afterwards, viz. the said 30th of October 1720, did publish the said writing so by them forged as aforesaid as a true bond, &c. contra formam statut. &c. then the indictment goes on, and the said jurors further say upon their oaths, that the said defendants afterwards, scilicet the said 30th of October anno ultimo supra-dieto quoddam [not saying aliud] false fabricatum scriptum, purporting to be made under the hand and seal of the said Edmund Longbotham, and to bear date the 18th of June 1718, to the said Thomas Hayes, in the penalty of 5601. with condition to pay 2801. upon the 1st of December next following the date of that writing, did publish, knowing it to be forged, &e. contra formam statut. &c.
