The law of forgery has been partially die- cussed in the Coort for Crown Cases Reserved, A prisoner nained Morton, who appears to bayo been led into crime by the laudable ambition of rising in the Churob, having obtained pos session flettere of ordere belonging to Father Ignatus, inserted his own name therein, and, with a few trifling alterations, made use of thira ug his own. For this offence he was trial and found guilty, under the statute which makes it a felony to for any "drad, band, or 'writing obligatory;"

The counsel for the prisoner urged that the letters diamissory," which, it appears, are given by the Bishop to a deacon on his ordination, are not in any sense a deed or writing, but a more official certificate on which the Episcopal seal is impressed. The counsel for the prosecution insisted that they were salamn document, enabling the person named
