Excerpt from The Great Forgeries of William Roupell, Late M. P. For Lambeth: Official Report of the Trial at Guildford, in the Case of Roupell V. Waite

Mr. Snnmanr Smut - Gentlemen, though for the purpose of pos sessing you at once of the real question you have to decide, I state the substance of it in this summary way, it will be necessary for me to ex plain to you somewhat more in detail the circumstances of a case of much more than usual interest and importance, and in which not merely the pecuni interest of the plaintiff and the defendant, but the honour and c aracter, and erhaps the liberty, of a gentleman who lately filled a prominent position in the public e e as member for the boron h of Lambeth, are deeply, and I fear hope easly, involved. The late r. Roupell, whom for the convenience of this cause I will call the testator, spent along life in the business of a lead-smelter. He had a factory in Gravel-lane, Blackfriars, close to Doctors' Commons, and a residence, N o. 16, Cross-street, in the immediate neighbourhood of it. He had also a house at Brixton, called Aspen-house, at which his wife and family resided, and he was in the habit of going to Aspen-house every Saturday afternoon, returning to Cross-street on Monday, where he slept on the other nights of the week. By the lady who became a widow at his death, he had five children, four of whom, John, William, Sarah, and Emma, were born before the deed of the 6th December, 1838, when he and Mrs. Roupell married; and a fifth child, a son, the plaintiff in this cause, who was born on the 27th of July, 1840.
