AND OW UTTERING FORGED II NR OF ENGLAND NOTES. Oxenham*, convicted of uttering a forged bill of etcheoge, was first placed at the bar. " Cotev BARON Osenham, you have been convicted of uttering a forged bill of eschange, well knowing at the time you uttered it thee it was forged. The crime of which you have heeu convicted, an the most satisfactory evidence, by a most intelligent Jury, is a crime the most dangerous to society, and which loudly calls for the highest punishment that the law can inflict; for no man, in a commercial country lilt: this, can, by any care, effectually protect him self from such attempts. If there should be any dis. position at the foot of the Throne to attend its mercy towards you, I shall rejoice: but of this I can offer you on assurance, and if there shobld be any midge. tine of your sentence. it will only be on condition of your being for ever removed from this country. His Lordship then passed upon him the last sentence of the law in the usual terms. The following Prisoners were then placed at the bar :—Wers. Steward+, Thomas Curry+, Margaret 11'1)0ati+, .Robett Wurdlazo+, Redmond Mess, Hannah Aluoor, and John Vaughan, convicted of utterinr , forged Bank of Euglaud notes; and George lieskit7+, convicted of burglary and horse-stealing. The Cuier BARON, addressing by name the first seven Prisoners, tiros proceeded ---•' son have beers severally convicted of uttering forged Bank of' Kn..' lend Dotes, knowing them to be forged; the law has atfited to this crime the penishment of death, and it is au .offente which, on account of its injorieus caw. segment-es to society, requires the infliction of the highest penishmeot. It is a practice which most be repressed; and if this cautiot be ellimed by oases" means, it must be done by visiting it with the otmoilti severity of the law, foe the negotiation of forgek Lutes is the stronvst and most exteusive mode of - _Ade oluaderieg the POlie •. effectroit Off.

LAW I NTE L LIG ENC E. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAT Q. ABJURATION OATH. While a young Gentleman, whose articles of clerkship had expired, was taking the usual oath of abjuration, denying " that darnnsble doctrine and position, that Princes, escommunieated by the Pope, may be deposed or murdered'! Ea, Ratite passed over his countenance. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, perceiving it, immediately ordered that he should be rejected for the present, and not be allowed to take the oaths necessary for his admission until he produced an affidavit to his moral and religious character. THE LING V. THE REY. KR. EASTON AND EIGHT OTHERS. This was an indictment against these Defendants for a conspiracy to assemble aud disturb a congrega tion of Protestant Dissenters assembled for religious worship, eta house duly licensed and certificated for that purpose. There was a second count against the Defendants for a riot. At the trial before Mr. Justice Holroyd, at the last Assizes for Wiltshire, the Defendants were severally naquitted upon the count of conspiracy,but were found guilty of the riot. Mr. Serjeant Put. now prayed the judgment of the Court. From the report it appeared that the Rev. Mr. Easton was perpetual curate of the parish of Tisbury, in the county of Wilts. The Prosecutor, the Rev. W. Hopkins, was a dissenting minister of the Independeut persu .sion, and had a regularly li censed chapel in the adjoining parish of Ansted. A short time previous to if)* month of December, 1816, the Prosecutor had taken a small private house in the ' parish of Tisbury, shout 150 yards from the parish church, in the occupation of a man named Butt, for the purpose of celebrating divine womilip, dissemi nating the Gospel, and making converts to his per suasion ; and a certificate had he n obtained at the Quarter-Sessions, licensing 'he house. On the 31st of December, 1816, JP Prosecutor proposed col.. brating divine worship at Butt's house, in the even ing, and was proceeding to his destination, when he was met by some of the Defendants, who assailed him with hisses, groanicAs„, and other expressions of bus. tilitv. He, however, proceeded to the house, and commenced the service. In the mean time, a great number of persons, amongst whom were ilie,Defet.d ants, assembled on the dancing green before the house, and began to make 'the most violent noises, I such as whistling, blessing cows' hunts, ringing large sheep's bells, and hatlowieg, se that it was impossible for him to proceed in his miaisterial dus v. He frequently attempted to go on, but was so over whelmed with the noise without, as to frustrate all Hu efforts. He sent out some of the congregation to remonstrate with the Defendant., but in vain; the noise was continued. The Rev. Mr. Easton was seen among the rioters, and was heard to order the mob three times to " play on," which they did ac cordingly. Another of the most active disturbers was James Garrett, a substantial farmer, and constable of the parish. The other seven Defendants were la bouring men in husbandry, and appeared to join in the riot without any previous conceit or design. It was sworn that a few days before this, Mr. Easton spoke to Butt, and asked him when " that Metho dist fellow was going to preach i" To which the answer was, that Mr. Hopkins was coming on the Tuesday following to his (Butt's) house. The reply of Mr. Easton was, " I hope I shall be able to make an example of him this month ;" and Butt rejoined, " I hope not." The Prosecutor having been driven from the house by the disturbance created, left be. tweets six and seven, and was afterwards hunted by the like uoises to the confines of the parish. Un der these circumstances the case was presented to the judgment of the Court. Affidavits were put in on the part of the Defend ants in mitigation of punishment. From Mr. Easton's affidavit, it appeared, that he had officiated in the parish of Tisbury for a period of 30 years, to the sa tisfaction of all his parishioners, Churchmen as well as Dissenters—that his income was only 801. a year, end he had brought up a family of ten children by those limited means—six of whom were stow de pendant upon him for support; and one had lost a limb in the service of his country. Ile denied all pre meditation, or previous concert with assy of the other Defendants, in the unfortunate transaction in which he was Implicated ; and stated that, when be went to the spot, he had not the slightest intentiou of dis turbing Mr. Hopkins or his congregation, and that the expressions " play ep," did not fall from him until he believed "that the service was. over. Since this unfortunate ,affair. lie ,bad apptied .to the Pro. secutors to know What concession woold-qatisti them land the ends of justice; and the conchae* : they im posed upon him was the degratliug oue cit' i seeking an apology in the public Papers. Upon the whole, be expressed his sorrow for the part he had acted, and, lano•nting his indiscreet conduct, he, threw himself upon the forbearing consideration of the Court. Affidavits were pot in as to his general character, sub scribed by Lord Arundel, the present and late Sea. riff of %Vats, and a great malty most respegtahte Maol gistrates and Gentlemen, ,who bore testimeey 444 1 proper and becoming demeanour which b,wmelfell' m his conduct in the parish, lo the satisfectben et every ! body, dosing a period ; 0(,.30. years. ker thsk wthar Defendants, affidavits . wve l*teise pot 41 of the like tendency. see to vise lerito.7.l rim t..-1 said d last Mit t - 13 t•t:.'cl,sti, ••Ogrirt,,A*.* *IA ft., Itielp i eollishroent. ing*lnlj wa sonsideration all the cirl coif, ed peatisulecly_ANip, the 'e.„Tyr 4 . t itttkistltrpt fetioreri. , ih . f° 'le !Ma .41"1ff 4 Me 'pivf4ted' !Ifig t et tha Aseiges, denier e. _, adjudged r., stou, sbqukd pay, ti fine ot M.

MAststoti-nouse.—Saturday, at this office, the Proprietor of the Old Swan Tavern, Fish-street-hill, preferred a charge of felony against two eminent iss dividuals, surgeons, of the following nature :—Tbe Wife of 04 Prosecutor had, it appeared, upon retiru log to rest, sprained or broken her leg. Herhus hand (who coefessedly had gone to bee in a state of inebriety) immediately r-se, and obtained medical assistance. Two Gentlemen, whose names we for bear mentioning, were called in, and one of them had occasion to retire. During his absence, a pocket. book, containing 1191. in notes, it was said, was missed. • This fact was alleged by the Prosecutor, but the Lord Mayor thinking his evidence insufficient, sent one of the Marshals (Mr. Wontner) to the Old Swan Tavern, where the Prosecutrix declared, on It. r sick hed, that she hini placed the pocket-book, containing the money as before stated, upon a chair close to her bed-side, and that no other persons but the surgeons had been in the room. After an investigation of more than two hours, the Defvndants were ordered to appear on . a future (lay; but we learn that, at a late hour on Saturday night, the money was found Ruder the patient's bed, so that the further attendance of the Gentlemen at the Mansion-house will he dispensed with. GUILDHALL. Benjamin GootiNear and Mary llarkku, who were charged on Monday last with tendering a forged 51. Bank-note to Mr. Guest, a pawnbroker, in Fleet-market, were brought op for re-examination on Saturday, before Mr. Aldermen JOSHUA JONATHAv SMITH, when Mr. Westwood, the Solicitor to the !lank, attenstetl, and brought forward an additional charge against the male Prisoner, Good year. It was for passing a forged 11. note to a grocer in Buithill.row, named Hawes, in the month of March last ; and the facts being fully substantiated, Mr. Westwood called one of the Bank Inspectors to prove the note a forgery, when the Magistrate ob served, that he thom4ht the hest evidence possible ought to be produced, and.thiscould be done only by toe Cashier who actually - signed the note. Mr. WEST WOOD.-1 presume; Sir, you do not mean 'to ohjoet to that description of evidence with Which the Judges are satisfied ? MAGISTRATS.--WHy, since these people were brought up lest. I have looked into several cases, and I certainly do not find that the evidenCe of an Inspector, on this point, has ever been decidedly oh. jected to; but perhaps the thing has not been much thought of. _ _ _ Mr. Fish then came forward, and was desired by the Magistrate to look at the note, which he did, and declared it to be a forgery. MAGISTRATE.—What do you call yourself, Mr. Fish ? One of the Inspectors of foiged notes in the Bank of England. How do you know that note to be a forgery ?—ft purports to be signed by Mr. Staples, and 1 am.sure it was not signed by him. Mr. Staples is one of the cashiers I suppose ?—No : he is one of the signers of small notes. Why are you sure it is not written by Mr. Staples; have you ever seen him write f— Very frequently. The MAGIsTRATE then asked Mr. Westwood it he wished the Prisoner Goodyear to be remanded for further examination; for, as for the woman, he thought there was nothing at all to detain her.. Mr. IVESTWOOD.-1 certainly do wish him to be remanded, and for particular reasons, which it would not be prudent fur me to state publicly; but I will explain to you in private if you please. The female Prisoner was then discharged, after promising to appear when called upon; and at the, request of Mr. Westwood, Goodyear was remanded. lloW-sTaEET.—tiaturi!uy Major Ramsay, an officer, of the South American Army, was brought up from Covent-garden watch-house, and csamined before Sir N. CONANT, on a charge of assaulting John Lambe, Esq. and presenting a pair of loaded pistols it him for the purpose of inciting him to fight a duel, in the saloon of Covent-gartieu Theatre, : ani Friday night last. x. The Complainant stated, that between eleven and twelve o'clock on Friday night, he was escorting a Lady from one of the boxes of Covent-garden Theatre, when the Prisoner came up to them and addressed the Lady in a rude manner. Ile imme• diately asked her if the,Prisoner wits any acquaint ance, and she answered iu the negative. Witness_ then desired him to. walk on, but be refused, and insisted upon addressing tha Lady, at tbe.Mme time making use of very threhening language., Witness produced his card,, offering him any gentlemanly satisfaction, provided he would desist, which seemed to satisfy him for the moment; but as witness was going down stairs, the Prisoner suddenly struck him with a heavy stick and felled him to the ground, by which several of his teeth were loosened. _The Pri soner kept beating him for some time eft ,be was down, and then put his hand to his pocket and drew out a pair of small, pocket pistols, one of which he presented at witness, but i ais he was going (as he thought) to pull the trigger,. %%Roes, deshed,the pistol .aside with his bona,. antl...peit up to the lobby in tbe greatest terror imagineble.

He was dressed ha every respect like an Officer, and had the appearaaca of a Beats of the first water. • - APPRE NSIONAND__SUIGIDE .OF AN • OUTLAW. Some time in January last, a person of the named George Cowen, a merchant, in great NeSOoft.attet4; became a bankrupt, and absconding from his com., mission, was outlawed. Several of his creditors hearing lately that he was living in great style ai Rotterdam, applied to the Lord-Mayor for his assistance in apprehending him; and accordingly, Brand, the marshalman, was sent over to Holland with his warrant for that purpose. The &wise Government, however, manifested a decided upposi. Lion to the measure; and it was only by the greatest exertion of Lord Claticarty, the British Minister at' that Court, that it was at length acceded to. Hit Lordship was compelled to wilt() home to the English Government, and obtain its sanction to an under. taking, pledging a reciprocal conduct, before the- Minister of Justice at the Hope was directed to* furnish the necessary authority. This was done oa. the 13th of lest Month, at 12 o'clock in the day, ' and Brand immediately proceeded to Rotterdam, in search of his object, and at five o'clock the sameafter. noon he met him walking in the street. On being Amassed by the officer, ha treated the miner with great contempt, and asserted that they dorsi net take him; but the Dutch authority being shown to him, be made but little resistance, and was taken into custody. The populace, however, appeared alarmed at the execution of a foreign warrant in their stseett, end a great body of them collected immediately, who showed a disposition to oppose the arrest; inso much that the officers found it cessary to get an immediate and strong reinforcement ; and it was only then by a Constant exhibition of their pistols, that a fescue was not attempted, and the Prisoner was ' lodged its safety. The same night he was conveyed Mx a strong party, furnished by the Cotnmissaire of Police, to the prison at the Hague; and the Gower ✓ef was directed to let him have every comfort con. ',Went with his ufe custody, till the packet should. sail. Ou the morning of the following Wednesday, however, the Prisoner requested the person appointed• to be with him to procure him a little coffee for his breakfast, and though the man was not away mete than five minutes, nn his return he found him hang. lug by his handkerchief to the knob of - a small cap board which was fixed in one corner of the He was instantly cut do wn, but be had accomplished his purpose so effectually, that life was totally es• tinct.
