It was clear that this was a fade pretence. True it was, that the prifoner was act the perfon who received the mosey direaly from Mitt Stratford; but it was a maim in the law of this country, that he who did as illegal ail by another, was halals'( the author of it. But as this was a pro fecotion for an offence which was novel in itt nature it had been thougbt neceeary, and for the benefit of ' the public. that it thoold be viewed in all its basins'.
