He was direcird by the Solicitor of the Bank of Eng. land, in consequence of intormatioh that he commu nicated to that quarter, to act under tue directions at Nadia. He saw the prisoner on the t.:ta,n of 6eptein ber, who asked witness if he wanted any thing ? [meaning forged notes] —witness asked where he' lived, and was answered—nearly opposite the Police Office in Salford (Adjoining to Manchester) ; when witness agreed to call at his house, which he did on the 6th lit October, having previously called and fcand him out. On the GM the prisoner agreed to bring the witness tour £2 Bank of England notes to the witness's warehouse, Market-street, between two and three o'clock in the atternuou, of which the wit ness informed Rutin by a letter, who placed himself in the Swan inn, opposite tie warehouse. The priso ner did not c.inte at that time, and Platt repeated his visit to his howe in Salford, where he saw him, re ceived his apuloi t a for breaking his appointment, and his promise of -4 meeting in the evening at seven o'clock. Of all this Platt informed Nadin, who met him at the Stir inn a little before the arrival lof the prisoner, and placed himself behind a window:cur tain, in which Platt cut a hole with his pen-knife, that Nadia might, without being perceived, see all that passed between him and the prisoner. The prisoner came in abont ten minutes after this conceal ment of Nadin ; and being asked by the witness if he brought thou —[meaning forged notes].—he an swered he had, and produced them on toe Witness counted them, and save for the four giving him a pound note to purchase an assortment of bad eighteen-penny pieces from Boyd, the prisoner. —He accordingly gave him the pound note, which was n one of tho.e marked by' Millar, and received from him. Witness then asked the prisoner what kind of rte he had got, and prisoner answered he had both hard and soft. Witness then asked what quantity and prisoner replied by asking how much he meant to wain with him (meaning to lay out with him, in purchasing.) Witness told him about five pounds, and asked the price of his :cream. saner answered Ws. each. Witness then asked how prisoner sold his thres4oh chats (a cant phrase for 3s. tokens), and was answered 12s. a dozen : the price of his 18J: pieces, or small chats, was 9s. a dozen.. After this, witness said we may as well be trading and get it over, and offered to buy five pounds worth Of screent.and tab (Ants. Took six :cram for £3.125. and the remainder of the balance of £5. in base coin. Witness desired Lee and Cuseck to go out and light their pipes, as he made a point of never doing busi ness in the presence of a third person—a maxim in the propriety of which Cuseck agreed, and left them immediately. Witness then gave the five Bank-notes he had of Millar is prisoner, and received in return for them and the two half-crowns, six forged notes, two dozen of gwee•bohchats, and one dozen 18d. pieces. - - The sin forged notes were taken from a memorandum book ; and prisoner, before he delivered them. to wit. ness, kissed them, wishing him luck of them, as it was a first transaction ; he likewise kissed the notes he received from witness.
