The Grand Jury has found a true bill against Arthur
Orton, alias Sir Roger Tichborne, for perjury and forgery, and he will be tried in the Queen's Bench in June. Numbers of the people residing on the estates still appear to believe in him, and petitions were presented on Wednesday from Tichborne and Poole praying the Government to supply funds for the defence as well as the prosecution. The petition from Tichborne was signed by 891 persons.
