Cross.examined by 'Mr. BRoDRICK.—I was taken into custody for the forgery on Smith, Payne, and Smith, in August last; I was a bankrupt in Novem ber, 1824 ; I have never applied for a certificate, nor have ever been charged with perjury or conspiracy; I have been in Dover gaol for three or four days. charged with an alleged assault ; I believe that Mr. Harmer is against me for that, but no attorney has told me of arty charge of perjury ; I was at Bow-street Office when the prisoner was brought up; I was nor examined in his presence touching this matter, but was brought in ; I saw Mr. Johnson there before the Magistrates; I think only once, but am not positive; I have seen him several times as he was passing by after being taken away from being examined; I first beigan this practice of getting forged checks about two days previous to this one ; it might be proposed about a fortnight before. Ido not recollect the identical day,but it might be probably about the month of Mayor June; it was proposed byJones ; tb at is what I mean by ,a long time since from this time ; I have known Jones from November. Four checks were the utmost number shewn to the prisoner, 'and were shewn by Jones. I never had any. I never sari any before that day; the cancelled checks were given by Johnson to Jones, but they were not copied at the time. It was all the same what person the:cancelled checks were drawn upon, so that he had Money in the house. Jones was to have three shares (two fat executing the check). Johnson Wei tO hafe`one, andl'ahcither share. after the payment of the forgery; I wad, baits fifth for Wag mannered with them. It was hdlk my scheme. Me. Justice Psat—qi Is mete% to **tint fur whit he tot the Akre ; for by his own evidence he has made himself out as great a scoundrel as ever Oldised. That is Culficient. Ssveralw itnesses having been examined to prove the connection of the prisoner with Peckham, Johnson, and Japes, the case for the prosecution closed. The prisoner read a written defence. Before he began, he begged to explain the Circumstances . of the alias of De Clifford (which was his mother's name), because he, had reduced his establishment and lived in a bumbler sphere. 'He then described that his acquaintance with these parties (whith he very much regretted had ever taken place) began by Peckham representing to him that he was able to put him in a way of making a for tune in a short time. He liad*no knowledge whatever of the transactions of the parties, and solemnly declared his innocence of having ever received a farthing from them. It could not be supposed that they would have intrusted him et once with a circumstance affecting r lives. He then said that he had never committed a onest act in his life. He ha.l several testimonials of character from persons of tne greatest respectability. Mr. Justice Peas-1 cannot receive them—it bas been so de tided by the Judges. The prisoner then expressed his perfect innocence of the crime lire& to MP; and begged to call witnesses to character. eras witnesses were then called. One thins was an OSosr in the lit Dragoons, and had hnoWn thepiiooner for MOWS yeah. . ~, i .0.4". Soother Geutlessam - residing to Pentonville, bad known him forty yean—nearly all his life. He went by the note• of John Berger. and always bore a character of the greatest respectability. Other witnesses bad known him, some *Edina in the gambling. houses, and they all said that he bore Ugood diatecter for homey and honourable condign. : • Mr. Justice Etat, in .sumalling up, told. the Jury that with respect to the charge of forgery, they would pm it out of their minds as affecting the prisoner, because there was no proof of his having forged the check but it was very material to consider whether he kilew it to have been .forded at the time of uttering it ? That was the charge . against him; the proof was diffi cult, as it depended on the testimony of accompl;ces. He had never in the whole course of his judicial capacity seen two more Corrupt, infamous, and wicked witnesses, than the two young men, Johnson and Petkhien, who, ffithey did'iof stop in their nefarious 'course, must-cer tainly end their hies prematurely. If the case had depended 'on their evidence alone, he would have felt it hii duty to have stopped the case, and told Mein to acquit the pi isouer. But. their evidence . wm partly supported by other ! witnesses, though the main point depended on their own testimony; audeit would be for the Jury to say, whether they could believe such info mous young men ?

A reconciliationhetweenthe Bradford maoufecturers and their workmen seems as diStant et the preseon mo meat as it was four mon.hi ago. Of ihe three thousand turnout woikmen, not more than from thirty. to forty have resumed their work during the twenty weeks that have elapsed since the strike took place, and of• that number only two or three have returned during the last fortnight. The masters have resolved to make no ad vance in the wages while the workmen insist on the prices they first struck for. When the strike cock place, in June last, worsted goods %sere selling in-the Bradford market at 171 per cent. higher than the present prices; and a piece. which at that time sold for Lie. 6J. is now selling for 18s. and other qualities in proportion. Some reduction has, however, taken place in the price of wool in the meantime, equal perhaps to 71 per cent. leaving a difference of 10 per cent. to the . disadvantage of the manufacturer, who, at the former price, had not more than a living profit. *To insist, in such a state of things, on a considerable advance of wages, is absurd. To add to the evils that this combination is likely to bring, a number of the master-manufacturers have in traduced machined into their mills for combing wool, which thus supersede manual labour, and some of these machines are at; work night and day. Last week,es a girl of Mr. Connor's, cf the Wilde, in the parish of Puddlestone, Herefordshire, was milk ing a cow, the animal-kicked her on the side of her head, and her ear was struck completely off by the animal's hoof.
