Serious Reflections Upon Dr. Dodd's Trial For Forgery: With Some Observations And Remarks Upon His Case, Respecting The Indictment, Arraignment, Trial, Evidence And Conviction. In A Letter To A Friend, By A Clergyman. This 1777 pamphlet presents a polemical defense of Dr. Dodd against a forgery conviction, arguing that the indictment was irregular, that the grand jury process and its handling of testimony did not violate the law, and that the prosecution used evidence in a manner consistent with justice. It frames forgery as a crime essential to protect commerce, yet contends that the severity of penalties should be tempered by prudent jurisprudence. The Preface discusses the history of punishment for forgery and the role of credit in commerce. The main text recounts the bond-forgery case involving a broker and a witness named Robertson, analyzes the behavior of Mr. M****y, and discusses the doctored money, restitution, and the Doctor's alleged guilt. The work invites readers to weigh the evidence impartially and to consider how legal proceedings shaped public perception of forgery in 18th-century Britain.
