As they were struck off they were placed on the counter to airy, and the Prisoner came doily and cut them up, nod put them into parcels of 100 each, and took them away. There were two engraved plates ne cessary for the notes, and after they were worked off a line of letter-press, in red ink, was in serted.--[An instrument with a line of letter vests set in it, and an engraved plate, were here put tido the witness's hood, which he identified to be those used.] The first engraved plate wearing out, the Prisoner ordered unother to be engraved.

Augustus Willi:tin Eckest was called again. and proved a bundle of the notes which were put into his hand to be all forged. The case fur the prosecution being closed— Mr. PLATT took an objection in favour of the Prisoner. In every one of the forty-tight counts of the indictment the note was described as ass or der or undertaking to pay. or a promissory note ; and he contended that the note in question did not come within either of those descriptions; but it appeared both on the face of the instrument and from the evidence, to be nothing more than a re ceipt. Tn come within the meaning of an order. an undertaking to pay, or a promissory note, there mutt be the tonne of u person making a promise, or giviag an undertaking, or an order on an notate. This bad been held by the Judges its various cases ; sad if the note did not come within the description of ether of the instruments he had mentioned, it did not come within the meaning and provisions of the statute on which this indictment was founded. The Learned Counsel cited several cases lit support of Ins objection. Mr. BOLLAND, in reply to this objection. cs,n tended, that the 43J George 111. was intended to embrace foreign securities; amid it was plain that this dollar note was a security, for which sable to that amount might be obtained iii any lead of the Prussian territories; mid although in England it could nut be considered as sin undertekitig, yet it must he taken for such its Prussia, fur the standard of 1764 was fixed as its value, and it was declared that at that value it should be taken as valid cur rency : and to trump it. validity the mune of the Finance Minister was affixed to it. Mr. LAW supported Mr. Bollasal's argument. Mr. PLATT replied-in sappurt of the objection. Mr. Justice RICHAILDION. however, decided that the Prussian dollar note was an undertaking ou the port of the Prus•inti Government to pay, sufficient. ly appeared on the face of it to establish the fact. "Elie Prisosser, in has defence, arid, what he hail done was the consequence of distress to which he had been reduced, soil in order to get bread for his f ly.
