The whole case turned upon the construction of the lease grained to the plaintiff of the fans in question. by which it appeared that he had covenanted to expend and lay out in the last year ofhis tenancy the straw, &c. pro thwed from the; crops in the last year. The subject of the plaintifl's claim wa♦ the straw, Ice. produced in that year, which it was alleged the defendant had agreed to pay fur when he quitted the farm, but Alr.Bsron Wood was of opinion, that the case for the plaintiff was concluded, by the WWI of the COVCO4III, and therefore directed a nottsuit. CROWN SID& AVilHam Arthur Brett, a young man of regret:Otte ramarance, much depressed by his awful sittiatian, was . indicted for forging, a cheque upon the banking.honse of Messrs. Sparrow and Co. of Chelmsford, purporting to he drawn by Mr. Thomas Andrews, in favour of Messrs. Chapman, Stevens, and Wood, for the sum of 2 101., ORled the tudi October, 1821, with intent to defraud the said Messrs. Spartow and Co. Mr. Andrews and Mr. %Watford conducted the prose cution, and Mr. Brodrick and Mr. Law the defence. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner had been elicit , : to Mr. Andrews, attorney, of Coggestrall, who transacted town business with Messrs. Chapman, Ste vens, Ind Wood, attorneys, in London. Mr. Andrews banked with Messrs. Spirrow and Co. of Clic:milord. Ilse 10th or October last the prisoner presented and received the money fur the cheque in question, no suspi• colt being then entertained of es genuineness. lle had artfully written a !cum, in the names of the payees, to the banking-house, acquainting them that a c:erk of the Wolter would call fur the money on a certain day. From the respee;ability of the prisoner's appearance, uo suspi ow was caw/tamed. The furery, haavt% W43'1'3411 - TILE NATIONAL REGISTER altcrwards discovered but the prisoner himself, in the mooth of November, made his appearance at the office of Messrs. Chapman, Stevens, and Wood, and confessed to Mr. Stevens the fraud which he had committed, de (darn g that he was tired of life, and insisted on surren dering himself to justice. The prisoner had indorsed the chtque with a receipt for its amount in the name of Witham Stevens, there being no person of that christian name in the house of the payers. This was armed as an objection, which the learned Judge reserved fur the consideration of the twelve Judges. The prisoner, who appeared overwhelmed with his situation, made no defence. The case went to the Jury tinder the learned Judge's directions, who found the prisoner Guilty, but strongly recommended Nina to mercy, on account of his previous good character. BANK OF ENGLAND PROSECUTION. AlAecti. 14.—W. Turner, a man aged 22, (described in the calendar as a seaman), of respectable appearance, was indicted for littering, on the 2d of February last, a forged Bank of England note, for the payment of 51. to one William Millar. at Stainuctl Mount-niches, know ing it to be f0r.:(.41. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Gurney, Mr. Sergeant Teddy, and Mr. Holland. he prisoner was without counsel. ..... It appeatcd m evidence that, on the day mentioned in the indictment, the prisoner was conveyed from London to Stausted Monet Facile!, by the Norwich mail.—He inquired at the house of Mr. the postmaster of the place, who is alto a publican, for a letter addressed in hint as the rider of Mess's. Jones and Son, of Lon don. Such a Hier was found and delivered to him.— Tim prisoner then ordered a supper and other refresh- ments, which amounted to 94. 6.1. and tendered a 51. note in payment. The publican not having change, a person of the name of Ravi!, who was present, said he could give change, and accordingly put down five sove reigns, and upon receiving the note, he discovered by the feel that it was a forgery, and snatched up his sove reigns again. The prisoner was detained and searched, and 'no money was found upon him except two penny worth of half pence. Next day he was taken before a magistrate, and the account he gave of the note was this —he had received from Messrs. Robins, the auctioneers, or Covent Garden, a cheque for 321.103. upon Messrs. Ransont and Co of Rill Mall, the Linkers, in the course of some business he had done with the former, and re ceived for the cheq4e a lull, note, and the rest in gold and silver; that he had changed the 101. note with a person named Hussey, residing at 33 or 39; street, Smithfield, who gave him the 51. note in goes- Lion, and a draft for 41. odd, on a Mr. Smith, and that he was employed as rider carrying patent for Mr. Palmer, of Hatton Garden, and not for Jones and Son, as directed on the letter he had applied for to the postmaster. The case for the prosecution consisted in a contradiction of this statement of the idsoner, shoving that he hail a guilty knowledge of the forgery. Mr. Riltuu7nl Robins, connc2i , ..l with the house Covent Garden, was examined. lie at;i::!!ted that the house had had a transaction with the prisoner the name of Ilan ism!, (knowing hint by no oilier name), in the sale of a Ito crsicmary legacy on the death. of a woman aged 43. The purchaser of the reversion paid a deposit of Oil. 16s. 'and after deducaing Messrs. Robins' kes, &a. a hal ince of 1 11..05. 6d. came to the prisoner, for which they-gave hint a cheque on their bankers, Messrs. Ransom and Co. ' A clerk from that house proved that the cbccine was paid in gold, and a sixpence. Two persons of the name of J. and Joseph Palmer, both living in Hick-hill, Hatton Garden, denied having any knowledge of the prisoner, except by the n-one of Harrison, and that he was never employed by either of them as a rider. The occupiers of the houses Nos. 38 and 3g respec tively, its Tumulill-streel, Smithfield, proved that no person of the came of Hussey, to their knowledge, ever lived in either of those houses. The prisoner, who described himself as a native of one of the British colonies, repeated the sante story lie had told the inadistrates, streintodsly urged his ignorance that the note was a forgery, and expressed his incapacity to distinguish between a genuine and a for,;ed note. The prisoner had applied on l'oloitilay to postpone his trial until this day, in order to procure the attendance of witnesses to establish his innocence, but nobody attend ed in his The case twit , . to the Jury. under the directions of the learned Judge, who left it to them to say, whether, under the circumstances of the C.l2r. the note had been uttered by the prisoner with a knowledge that it was a forgery. The Jury deliberated a few minutes, and found the prisoner go iliy—deat h. William Itichar.lsoa was indicted for wilfully and maliciously anotinistesing to Susanna, she wile of Thos. Hairs, and Mary Bacon, a certain dewily poison, called copperas, whit intent to kill and murder them, at Dab den, on the trtli of January last. Lefore the examination of the first witness for the prosecution W 33 closed. the counsel for the prisoner urged the propriety of estaLlishing, in the first instance, that Islet of the indictment which charged the prisoner with aihninisterlng a deadly poison. Now he appre hended that copperas was not a deadly poison. Mr. a chymist of Chelins:oril, gave it as his opinion. that copperas was not,, properly speaking. a. deadly poison ; and that the stomach would rvjeci a dose sufficient to produce death, beffire it cou!d have that effect. Two allures, if dissolved in and retained in the stomaen, might produce try serious conse veneer, but he was not sure it %you'd occasion death. Dr. John Ltraddcley, a physician at Cludats:Ord, gave it as his opinion, that two drains of coppeias would produce death.

James Laitlkr.—l live at Jesmond. I was coming in a cart across the Town Moor into Newcastle, between eight and nine o'clock its the morning of the 22a Jan. last. When I was about 200 yards from the Boll's • Park, I saw a man on the western part of the Park pre sent a gun and fi:e. I 63W two other men with him.-1 - ,- only heard one shot. They were about 50 or sixty yards • from the wall, and about 300 from the road. I could - not see dicinctiy enough to tell who the rapt.: were.— • .

I asked him where he was- - standing, and in what direction he fired. Ile said he was standing near Fen wick's mill, which is on toe west side of the Buds' hank. I asked hint how their target was placed, and he said it was fixed on the wall of the Bulls' Park. 1 then remarked to them on the criminal want of caution it) firing near a public road, where people were continually passing. Mr. Burnet replied, that pas- - sengers would be stilliciently protected by the wall of the Bally Park, and that if a hall should overtop the wall, it would form a curve and fall so as to hurt uu one.
