1 ..--• Cure of the drawer. J. . Phillips, and J. 'Powell, the acceptor. He wrote the bill from a copy given by Mr. Feats.. John James, deputy post-master at Colchester, said be had assisted the post-master twenty years. and had rtteer known James Powell at Colchester ; be did not know such a person residing there by that name in Fe bruary last. John Fenton, an officer of the Sheriff of London, said he resided at Colchester. He had not known, doling the la* five Yeats, a person named Powell residing there. John Edfirld, clerk to Mills and Co. of Colchester, slid he.did not know a person atColchester of that name. Henry Thomas, clerk to Messrs. Hankey and Co. bankers, deposed that no person of the name of Powell, at Colchester, kept cash in the firm of Hankey and Co. The bill was then put in and read. . The prisoner being called on for his defence, made some.important observations on the improbability of his .rnaking,a confession to Pratt, that the bill was a forger.. He appealed to the Jury, whether he could gain any thing by such a confession? He denied so lemaly that he made the confes , ion which had been stared.. The newspapers of the day had charged him with ab.conding from his creditors, but the ch age was a falsthood. Mr. Vincent, the attorney, I..uticl him at Calais, stepping into the steam-packet, to return to England, to settle with his creditors. A sing nag taken from his portmanteau and 411. in Bank notes. The prosecution he attributed to revenge on the part of Mr. Vincent and his client, because he would not give up all his propetty to one creditor to the injury of all the others. The prisoner made a pathetic statement, that he bad been a father to fatherless children, and had com mitted acts of dishonesty to find them bread. The prisoner called several witnesses. . John Haubury, a printer, said, he saw the prisoner at Calais this year. and was with him when Mr. Vincent came. The prisoner was then on his return to England; hod) Vincent and Cook held out promises to tl.:e pri soner to induce him to*make a confession ; they said they were his friends and he was safe in their hands ; they had no wish to hurt him—on the contras y, they had'i plan for his escape if they could get their money. Vincent said his life would be in ,danger if he did not tell where' his money was hid; the prisoner protected a Mrs:Lewis and her orphan children. Mr.,Pratt baying been called again, said he saw the prisoner indorse the bill. Mr..lusticeGamee, in his charge to the Jury, recom %, wended thein to discharge from their minds any impre... don made by the statement concerning the prisoner pub lished before his trial. 66 It is to be lamented," said the Learned Judge, 66 that them is no cause of any intpor t since which comes berme the public on which the public mind is not prejudiced by giving ex parte accounts. That prejudice it is almost impootble to drive from the human mind. I have no hetitation in saying, the con d.ict of Vincent in starring this publication to be made was highly reprehensible. The excuse he makes is no ex cuse at all ; he should have said boldly and manfully, 6 I Will give you no information, and if you publish ex parte statements before the individual takes his trial, I will institute a prosecution, and take care you shall receive the punishment which you ought to have for interfering to prevent a fair ttial:"—The Learned Judge finally left the Jury to consider whether the acceptance was in the band-writing of the prisoner, observing, if they ihould think on the reasoning stated by the Counsel for the prosecution,, that there was not sufficient proof of the torgery , there was the uttering, upon which the case appeared to be gal% clear. If they should be of opinion that hiutteted, the bill . with 4 knowledge that it was forged, they, must prOnounee a verdict of guilty. 11 there was any reasonable doubt, the prisoner ought to liaer the bepefit of it. The jury retired from the box, and on their return ktouoieil the prisoner Guilty of uttering. • • NEW COURT Before the COMMON Saasiaxe and a Middlesex Jury.

A pot of filthy and adhesive materials was provided by the Captain of the Hero, and the boys covert:l the wall with the delicate stuff. liven y word was coveted except " Gravesend," which was a terns as set vici•able to one Captain as to the other, and just pointed out where steam accommodation could be given to the public. baridence was produced, fount which it appeared that the defen dant was present while the boys were daubing the wall, and urged them to do the work effectually, by crying out, " Go it, my boys ! give it him well."
