OLD BAILET. Yesterday Susannah Gernin stood capitally indicted for uttering divers Bank Notes of £l, knowing the same to be false and forged. The prisoner was an old woman of 77, and lived at No. 2, New -court, Peter-lane, Cow-cross, in the parish of St. Sepulchre's. On Saturday the 21st of I December last, she went to the shop of a Mrs. Clarke • in the neighbourhood, and having purchased several' articles, tendered a £1 note for payment. The shop man, John Croker, ou giving the change, asked what name he should put upon it, as it was his usual practice to mark the notes he received. The prisoner, after some hesitation, said she received it from a new married couple in the neighbourhood, but did not know their names ; she would return, however, and tell him the name and address, which she accordingly did. On the Thursday following she came again to the shop and offered to take it 'back, paying down eighteen shillings, and peurnising to bring the two shillings on the following day, as they seemed to doubt the goodness of the note. They refused to re turn the note till she brought the other two shillings, which she did on the day following. Their suspi cions, however, being excited by the apparent anxi ety of the woman to have the note returned, they still retained it, and applied to the Bank to ascertain whether it was forged. In consequence of this appli cation, the note being ascertained to be a forgery, Thomas Glover, one of the Inspectors, went with an off cer of the name of Ford to the lodgings of the prisoner, whom he found there along with her hus. band, who was a watchman. It had been previously discovered that the prisoner had disposed of a note of the same kind, at the -hop of a Mr. Osborne, which had come also to Mr. Glover's knowledge. On being interrogated by Mr. Glover and the Of ficer, the prisoner said she had found the notes, and knew nothing farther of them. Her husband said she was wrong not to tell the truth, for it was he that had found the notes, and that she had received them from him. The officer, on this, searched the person of the prisoner, and found about her six or seven seven-shilling pieces, and some silver. They took the prisoner and her husband into custody, and locking the door of their apartment, carried them to the office for examination. They lived in the second floor of a house possessed by Joseph Peirce, with other lodgers on the first floor. These corroborated the circumstance of the door having been locked, and stated that no admission to it had been obtained till the return of the officer and Mr. Glover. When the latter returned to search farther the prisoner's lodgings, they found concealed in the chimney eleven £1 notes, and four £2 notes, all forged, and of the same date, from the same plates, and having the same signature. They found also a number of dollars, and nearly a thou sand halfpence, to the amount of above £a - 9. This money was concealed under a saucepan, covered with some ohl clothes. In his examination, the hus band, Michael Gerain, had stated before the Magis trate that he had found the notes in question in St. James's, Church-yard, Clerkenwell, which was part of his beet as watchman, and not finding that they were advertised, had given two of them to his wife to dispose of. These circumstances being all proved by the seve ral witnesses, the prisoner said in her defence that she had received the notes from her husband, who had found them, and called her landlady, Mrs. Peirce, and another lodger in the house to speak to her cha racter. These witnesses gave her the character, as far as they ha I observed, of a sober, honest woman. The Jury, however, brought in their verdict— Guilty—Death. Michael Gerain was then brought to the Bar, and indicted for having in his possession divers Notes, purporting to be of the Bank of England, knowing them to be forged. The Court stated, that nn circumstances having transpired during the last trial that could involve the prisoner in uttering these notes, it was for the Jury only to determine, whether he had them in his pos. session, knowing them to be forged, which was not like the former, a capital offence, though subject to very heavy punishment. A great part of the former evidence having been recapitulated, and the declara tion of the prisoner before the Magistrate read, the Jury, without much deliberation, brought in their ver dict—Gailty. G. Warner was indicted for stealing in the dwell. ing.hotne of J. Clarke 15 guineas and nine RI notes, the property of O'Brien. The priioner and prosecutor were fellow-workmen to Mr. Brodie, an iron-founder, and fellow-lodgers in the house of J. Clarke, in Milford lane, Strand. On the !lst of Oc tober they went out at six in the morning, to work, and at one in the afternoon, the prisoner returned to his lodging, where, having staid a few minutes, he went away. A short time after, the prosecutor re turned, and missed his money. When the prisoner was apprehended, some time after, there was nothing found on him which the prosecutor could swear to, except the handkerchief in which the money was wrapped. In defence, the prisoner said the handker chief was given to him by the prosecutor ; but this the prosecutor positively denied. Guilty—Death. THEFT, DELUSION, AND CREDULITY. Margaret Conners and Richard Conner: were charg ed with a capital felony, in stealing in the dwelling house of Joseph Iredall, in King -street, Soho-square, . three gowns, two pair of sheets, and a variety of ar ticles, to the value of more than Os. the property of Mary Anderson. The prosecutrix, a simple looking young woman, stated that she kept a mangle ; in the month of May last the female prisoner, who was then unmarried, came to lodge with her, and continued with her for some time. She afterwards assisted her to remove to a different house in the same street, where the pri soner again came to live with the prosecutrix. Short ly after she came to live with her the second time, the prisoner told her that she wished to try some experiments. She accordingly began by laying the poker and shovel under the bed during the night ; then cut out rings of cloth, which she placed in sand with sothernwood, and figures cut outin paper, which she placed on the chimney-piece. After this she ma.le a cake, prepared in a particular manner, and broth, into which she put certain powders, and gave to the witness to eat. One night a knife was thrown at the witness from the opposite side of the room • where the prisoner and she were sitting, • which the prisoner informed her had been dose by the spirit of - This was on the evening of the Sth or 9th of August. The prisoner went to the window, and talked as if sbe had been conversing with some one, but the witness saw no body. She cut some brea d and cheese, put it on a plate, and held it out as if some third party had been present to partake of it. She then desired the witness to look on the wall, which she did, when she saw on it the figure of a man about the size of a large cat. When in bed, the prisoner again desired the witness to look towards the wall, when she saw the figure of a man faiudy upon it. The witness asked the prisoner what he wanted ? when she infor med her that if she would lay some of her things out of her trunk, he would let her know. The witness rose out of bed, iznd being greatly alarmed, laid a number of things out of her box, all of which were gone in the morning. The prisoner made a noise for a considerable time while this was going on, as if some person was strangling her. The witness did not see any of these things again till some time after wards, when she saw the prisoner wearing them. The articles which she saw the prisoner wearing were I not disguised or altered in any manner. When the witness noticed this circumstance, the prisoner said the apparition had told her she must wear them, and that the witness must-consent to it, for if she said any thing against it, she was to be turned into some dif ferent shape. The prisoner so completely deluded the witness that she believed she had it in her power to do every thing she said. The man prisoner lived in the house, and had been in the witness's room that very night; but she could not distinguish if he was the apparition. It appeared liker to the shadow of a man than to the substance. He told the wimps on one occasion that he had carried off some of her pro perty on the 2d of October. The articles which she had lost were casried off ar• many various times. She did net see him in the room, however, at the time al luded to in the mantis of August, nor did she know of any thing that he did that night. On her cross-examination by Mr. SNAPP, the wit ness said, the man prisoner had one paid his ad dresses to her, and had since married the woman pri soner, but she was not angry on that account, nor would have been sorry at their marriage, if they had let her property alone The woman prisoner conti nued to live with her eleven weeks after the 9th of August. James Bligh, an officer, stated, that when the pro secutrix told him her story, he went to the house of the prisoners along with another officer, and carried them, and all the property he could find which the prosecutrix claimed as hers, before a Magistrate.— The woman prisoner pressed sadly to have it hushed, and that she would make every thing right ; but the witness told her it was a felony, which he could not compound. James Noble, another officer, confirmed this state ment. Mr. Justice CIIAITISRE did not put the man on his defence. though he confessed the suspicion was strong against him, but men were not to be found guilty of felony on suspicion. The story was a very strange one, but credulity would lead some people a great sway, and it was impossible to say what effect it might have on a weak and uneducated woman like Mary Anderson. If by any fraudulent contrivance, a person was induced to open a box in which his pro. perty lay, and to spread it out, and the property was taken away, that was, in point of law, a felony. The prosecutrix had been credulous in • the extreme, but still she was to be protected by the laws of the coun try. As to the capital part of the charge, that must be discharged from the consideration of the Jury, it not appearing, that on the evening laid in the indict meat, property to the amount of 4.05. had been car ried off. The Jury would judge if they gave credit to the story of the prosecutrix, in which case they would find the woman prisoner guilty of stealing. The Jury accordingly found the woman prisoner Guilty of stealing thirty-nine shillings—and the man, Not Guilty. The following were also convicted of felony, viz. John Evans, for stealing five pieces of ribbon, the prop. sty of Ann Smith. _ _ Eleanor Waters, for stealing 14 yards of cotton, the property of Benjamin Marshall. Andrew Leader, for stealing several articles of (wearing ap parel, the property of John Venner. Charles Bailey, for stealing two deer-skins, the property of R. and S. Savage ; and J. Howard, for stealing ss. in halfpence, the property of J. Watk in son. _ . The following were acquitted, viz. Win. Wellington, James Elwes, Thomas Williams, and Isaac Green. SURREY SESSIONS, JANUARY 11. The Court was occupied through the whole of this day and yesterday, in hearing an appeal in which J. Carr, carter to Mr. Maunders, of Bermondsey, was appellant ; and Thomas Mitchell, farmer of the tolls on the Bermondsey-road, was respondent, against a conviction for having passed Grange-gate, with a cart and three horses, without paying the toll.— It appeared, that among the exemptions contained in an Act passed in the 43d of his astjesty for regu lating the tolls on this road, was one exempting car riages laden with manure from.paying. Till within the last IS months, empty carts actually going tofetch ma nure were considered as coming within the meaning of the Act ; since that time, however, it had been suggested to the respondent that such carriages were net exempted ; therefore, unless the cart actually contained manure, the collector was ordered to en force the payment —Mr. Maunders, however, direct ed his servant not to pay, and in consequence of his refusing he was convicted, and fined 40s. ; against this conviction an appeal was made, which came on at the Ryegate Sessions ; when Serjeaat Shepherd was retained for the appellant, and after an hearing which occupied nearly two days, the conviction was quashed. The respondent, however, not being satisfied again summoned the appellant for passing the gate on the 29th of December last, without paying, and the conviction at present appealed against took place. After an attentive hearing, which took up two days, the la -t conviction was confirmed by a full Bench of Magistrates. Thus, after expending upwards of £3OO in discussing this question, Mr. Maunders is placed precisely in the same situation in which he originally stood. Tuesday afternoon, between live and six o'clock, whilst a cart, loaded with various articles of house hold furniture, was passing along Norton Falgate, some thieves stole out of it a bed, blankets, and coun terpane, with which they made their escape. • , , .

HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. M0rning............ 95 minutes atter 8 Afternoon ..... 7 minutes alto . 9 CHALLENGE. MESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in hi:. Majesty's Service, challenge the whole world to prove a single Instance where. their Medicine and method of cure hive failed of the desired effect. The practice of many years in this particular branch of their profession has not given rise to one unsuccessful case. They continue to direct their studies to the treatment and curt of Venereal Complaints, and that derangement of the system. which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful effects ids habit long and most unhappily pursued by the youths of both sexes. in the one it will be found to be the unfailing source of barren ness ; the other have its ravages fatally developed to them by a dis tressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotence. These art its remote and ultimate effects, while con sumptions, loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaints usually charactqist tie earlier stages of this solitary vice. Of per sons languishing under the disorders incident to such a habit, their treatment is simple and has never proved unsuccessful, in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended practice. In the most obstinate and complicated cases of venereal infection, such as obstructions in the urethra, spongy excrescences, hard tu mours, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakness, glests, as aist STRICTURES, _ _ Whether recent or of long duration, and which have baffled the skill of other Practitioners ; are by their present improved plan of treatment, effectually and permanently cured, without the patient suffering the excruciating pain and alarming hemorrhage which often follows the application of the lunar caustic. In the course of 20 years extensive practice In this metropolis, numerous cases of Strictures have been and are daily under their are, the total eradication of which are effected by a safe, certain, and expedi tious mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted. 'fbe weakness, relaxation, and debility proceeding from this complaint. is speedily removed, and the patient restored to sound and vi gorous health. But where the debility has for years existed, a proper perseverance in their restorative remedies, after the Stric ture has been destroyed, is indispensably reqesisite to revive the slumbering sparks of life, and to reanimate the Constitution. Several Noblemen and Gentlemen, of the first respectability, have been under the care of Messrs. Currie and Co. for the re moval of complaints of the Urethra, Strictures, &c. and, having received a radical and permanent cure, request that references may be made to them as satisfactory evidences of the decided su periority of Messrs. Currie and Co.'s plan of treatment. Many of these Gentlemen have bad Strictures from ten to twenty years, and had been under the care of Messrs. Home and Heavisides, and other surgeons of equal eminence, who attempted the cure by the application of the lunar caustic, without success. Messrs. Currie and Co. may be consulted by either sex with the greatest delicacy, secrecy, and honour, at their house, No. 107. Hatton-Garden. Patients In the country are requested to state the particulars of their case, age, and general habit of living, &c. inclosing a remittance for advice and medicines, when the same will be given or sent to any part of the kingdom. To ensure that secrecy so essential to their undertaking, tits postage of Letters may be added to the account for medicines.

I then took a bottle of Dr. Gilbert's Vegetable Antiscor butte Drops, soon after those wounds healed. and the humour abated, but not pet severing in the medicine a sufficient time,' violent swelling affected one of my legs, and my knee became se stiff and enlarged, the faculty deemed it a white swelling, and treated it as such for a considerable time. I now became a per fect cripple, soon after my afflictions were greatly increased by a powerful inflammatory hetuour, which settled in my eyes and nearly deprived me of sight • my whole frame now became bur thened with this disease; the crutches which I had long used were ao longer of use, I became confined to my bed. The ht advice I had from my surgeon was to get myself removed to me of the,London Infirmaries, this I did not approve of, it appeare d doubtless whether I could undertake the journey. At my wife request 1 put myself a second time under a coarse of Dr. Gilberts Vegetable Antiscorhutic Drops, resolving to give them a fair trial ; the wonderful effects produced a favourable alteration, sad by the time I had taken seven or eight bottles, 'I became a sound man, every wound healed, my leg and knee returned to their for mer size and strength, having for sever4l months not felt thekass symptom of the aforesaid complaints, and I enjoy a very goo& state of health.
