Herring, at the same time asking for supper and a bed. Witness cashed the cheque, and prisoner shortly afterwards seeing a trap at the door, said it was a good opportunity for getting into town and left. On the following day witness sent the cheque to the Bank, where it was dishonoured.
The Rev. Mr Herring said that the prisoner was his brother. He had never drawn the cheque; the signature in no way resembled his, and was in his brother''s handwriting. Prisoner had no authority to sign witness''s name.
Mr Tate, Manager of the Union of Bank of Australia, deposed to the fact of the cheque having been presented at the Bank and payment refused.
The prisoner, who made no remark, was then committed for trial, but admitted to bail, himself in the sum of 100 pounds, and two sureties in alike amount each.

OBITUARY.
A CRIMEAN VETERAN.
AUCKLAND, January 20.
An old Crimean and Maori war veteran in the person of Lieutenant William Henry Herring, late of the 7th Royal Fusiliers, died at his residence, Auckland, yesterday, having passed his seventieth year last Thursday. The deceased was a native of Cheshire. He fought at the battle of Alma, where he received a wound from the effects of which he never fully recovered, and which-ultimately caused his death. For the last six months he was wholly an invalid. He fought at Inkerman, and before the close of the campaign was acting-captain. He came to New Zealand 47 years ago, landing in Wellington. He joined the Taranaki Military Settlers'' Corps, and while serving under Major Von Tempsky took an active part in the Maori war in that province, being twice wounded. He leaves a widow, three daughters and three sons, one of the latter being the well-known Auckland representative footballer, Mr Frank Herring.
