A forged account on the Government. --The charge preferred against Robert E. Placide and Robert Lurly, of having forged certain papers for the purpose of defrauding the Government, which led to the arrest and commitment of the parties to Castle Thunder on Thursday last, having been an offence which is alone cognizable in the tes District Court, to be held by him until an investigation of the matter is had before C. S. Commissioner Sands, which will probably take place on Monday next. Placide presented an account of $800 for a horse killed at the battle of Waterloo, which was necessarily abandoned and left in the hands of the enemy. The valuation of t of which were forged. Lurty certified to the correctness of these signatures, which constitutes his connection with Wm. J. Lemmon, who presented a similar account at the same time, and under the same circumstances as those in the case of Placide, who is a private in co. D, 1st Maryland Line. His case was similarly disposed of.

Remanded for examination. --George W. Lurty, Robert E. Placide, and, J. W. Lemmon, were again before Commissioner Sends yesterday, charged with drawing money from the Government for horses alleged to have been lost by them in the service of the Confederacy. The evidence showed that two accounts were presented for settlement, the signatures to both of which were forged. Lurty drew up the necessary papers, and taking Placide with him as the party represented in the order, he certified to the genuineness of the signatures appended thereto. Subsequently he made out another order in the same amount representing J. W. Lemmon as the party to whom the moneyes himself, or at least knew they were not genuine. The Commissioner, after reviewing the testimony, remanded the accused for trial before Judge Halyburton. Each party is charged with two offences, and it was announced that Lurty could be bailed for $2,000 in each case, and that Placide and Lemmon $1,500 each in both cases.
