A 24-year-old hawker, fomerly living in lodgings in Byron Street, Bradford and now of Salford, was found not guilty of silvering 24 pennies and nine halfpennies with intent to make them resemble florins and shillings. He was discharged. He was alleged to have told police: "I might as well tell you I did them. I was experimenting with them." He admitted silvering the coins. But not with intent to deceive.
