A respectable-looking woman, whose name did Dot ap pear, was then sworn, and she stated that she knew tho prisoner and his connexions very well, and in the be ginning of November last he came to her in a very die d condition. She took him in, and lodged him as well as she was able. She could positively swear 'bathe was not out of her house from the lath to the 30th of that month, because he had neither shoes Dot jacket to go nut in. On reference to the depositions, it was found that one of the notes was uttered on the evening of Saturday, the 23.1 of November. Mr. HARMER observed, that after this he trusted the Bank would not think of proceeding further. A young man, who attended on behalf of the Bank, said the circumstances would certainly not justify that establishnient in undertaking a prosecution. The prisoner was discharged, sod went from theoffice, accompanied by several respectable-looltiog personsorho seemed strongly interested in his behalf.
