Departures of note

In 1866 a warrant was issued for Edward Lawrence Levy’s arrest for forging a bill of exchange. He left the country and remained abroad until 1870.

In 1870 Edward Lawrence Levy was discovered living in Liverpool under the assumed name Edward Lingden, was tried for deception and forgery at the Old Bailey in July, and was acquitted because the jury believed he had sufficient authority to use the drawer’s name.
