The 1.3 , e of the robbery of Moors. itlakepeace and Harker, silversinitha, iu Searle-■lntl, Lincoln's fun.lielils. and the seizure of their sham property at a somber of pawnbrokers, came ou to be further investigated on Satur day treeing. The searrhwarrasita which were issued, were intrusted to Salmon, the ',nicer, a ho seized all the plate descrilieil by the prosecutors at the different pawnbrokers, to the amount of In twee. six and seven hundred pounds, and linpozht the whole to the odic* on Thursday evening, when Mr. Harker, on being called upon to explain what lie meant by the pa:rolookers having unlawfully come by the properly, seplied that it lead been stolen.

On the question of the pawnbrokers being compelled to give up the plate, without the regular redemption money, it was nreeil that it should email' in 11. e possession of Salmon, the citieer, who has siuce been active in endeavouring to tract out and apprehend the rubber, in which lie has not brit successful, but by the assistance of the pawnbrokers, teirtirohrly Mr. Page, of Liquoipend-street, be succeeded IN appetin luting the woman who p:edgetl the plate.

She pledged the plate ais her busband's property, and she had been in the habit of taking propel ty to pledge for a con,iderable kiwis of time. Some of the plate.bail been pledged fur upwarJs of two years, and yet it had not been missed by Messrs. Alakepeace and Harker. The reason of its nut having become a fiu feit • ed pledge, owing to the length of time, was explained by the interest having been paid oil*. This conduct on the pall of the thief could not be accounted fur. The woman said her nanie was Sarah Blake. Mr. Cotiant, who was the sitting Magistrate,declined go ing into the examination of the wvinati, as Mr. Birnie had commenced the examination of the business, and granted the watr:tuts to march the Ftwoltro!tere houses for the pro rrty. A messenger was in coustqlsetice sent to Mr. Rirnie, informing him of the woman being its custody, and his an. swer, we are concerned to tay, was, that he was so extremely indisposed, it was impossible fur him to attend. Mr. Alley, who attended fur Mr. Page, the pawnbroker, asked Weise would agree to remain in the custody of_ the cancer, where she was, or in the watch-house, to a future day, when, it was hoped Mr. Diruie would be well enough to attend. The woman burst into tears, amid said she bad seven small children at home, and her confinement would be . extremely distressing. Mr. Alley told her it did not signify how great a nninher of children she had, if she octal improperly she Mind he answerable fur it ; and the question was, whether she would remain where she was or go to New gate ?—She agrt ed to the former.

Saturday a boy named Smith, a pauper in Sutton's Farm. ed House, Islington, was brought before Robert Bevil', Esq. charged with violently assaulting another pauper, an infirm idil maw, by stroking him with a broom on the head, wills such force that his skull was broken. The Assistant Master attended, and stated, that the boy was very much inclined to aiekeduess ■nd barbarity, so much so, that be was the terror of the paupers. lle had been there only five weeks, during which lime be, instead of minding his work, wantonly broke the windows of the house, by what he calls, "slipping Ilse glazier," that is, by putting the point of a pea-knife in the corner of the square, and running bus thumb nail along the glass, it immediately breaks ; and the first week he came into the house be broke bowel) panes of glass in this manner, and all the punish ment that could be inflicted could nut make him refrain from such wanton practices. The Magistrate said, such conduct deserved the severest putiishment, and be was committed, in default of bail, for the assault. A quantity of base half-crowns and shillings are now in circulation in the northern parts of the Prin cipality of Wales. On Thursday evening last, as Messrs.

Every exertion was made by the men who were with the waggon, in taking out the goods ; a barrel of gunpowder, how ever, taking tire, blew up will] a tremendous explo sion, and toe three men were precipitated over tie liedg , g, but, providentially were only burial a lit.

(Conelnded f from Ik. amnd rffe) Much of the Moore evidence sufficiently establishes the general diainclisiation of trailers to prosernte for forgeries un themselver, err to furnish the Bank of England with the means of conviction, in ease. where forged notes are littered. There is tin offence its which the infliction of death seems more rerognant to the strong. and general and declared umse a the public, than forgery; there is no other in which there appears to prevail a greater compassiou for the offender, and more horror at capital executions. In additi to the general evidence above staled, to n olo. riots. facts, and to eilevi sonclusioos of reason, your Com mittee have to state the testimony of some witnesses of pe. cellist. *richt, on the subject of forgery. 31r. John Smith, a Member of the !louse, and banker In London, stated that he knew installers where moiseelations for private ferg. ties were relimpoilthell 1111 areMIIII of the punishment, mod had no doubt that if the poitishourtit was less, prosecutions would have taken place. tle. Harm It, also a Member of the llonse, a,u a flanker in London, is of opeoion, that capital punishment goes tra tretta ly to diwi.oorage prosecnit 111 l s in forgery; be knout many instances of this, scarcely a year passed without some. l lung of the kind; lie is of opinion that the majority of pri. sate furgeri, s pass uaponisheel , out net-moot of the severity of the puni.hoss• tat. The punishment of death frivolo, in hill op , to prevent pro-emotion, and to increase the crime. Mr I. F. Forster, so Russian merchant, and Sir. E. Fors ter, a banker in gave some remarkable examples of time repugnance to prosecute its forger - ... In owe, by the connivance of the pron.cula.r ; a peewees who was introduced to the Magistrate as, friend of the primmer's, do sired 10 ace are forged check, snatched it away, and threw it into the tire; a mode of avoiding prosecution a loch, from other parts's( the evidence, ' .1 not seem 10 be uncommon. In another, a forgery to the large am tof 15.000 r., where the r.,, z er n ul Cir utterer were limb in custody, the prosecutloll was l'elllNUl.ll merely because the offence was capital; had the punistintent been ever so• severe, abort of death, nu eart:avow would have been made t • save the of fenders. L. the opinion of :Ur. E. Forster, more than one half the private fa:gerbil whirls are committed escape pro. secutions on account of the severity of the law he added an example of the like sentiments, in the oil'etere of stealing in elwellitig.limise, which the Cumin r flee consider as rename k b”cause it occurred in the (Miters of a institu tion, who usually allow themselves to be Its Mem need by their feelings than individuals ; a committee of a public institutiou WiteNe 114,Itst• hail been roleheit, would tout engage in the forest motion miless the g Is were v o loed under forty shillings. lu tills committee were persons of respectable con. dition in almost all the occupations which are most liable to loss by forgeries and. thefts. Mr. Fry, a beaker in London, mentioned four rags of prosecution for forgery which were prevented by the capital punishment, its one of which the party injured •.walhoweil the forged note, limit he might not he compelled to ',woe cute. 3lr. Fry explieitly elated, what is indeed implied ite the evidence of the preceding witnesses, that as a haulier, he should consider his properly as mach more secure if the punishment of forgery were mitigated to such a degree that the law against that offesee would be waterway enforced • in nine cases out of ten of forgery which lie has known, diere has been an indisposition to proarcute. 1)r. Lushington declared that be knew, that in the minds of many liaisons there is a strong indisposition to moo-cute, on account of the severity of the pions: 111 l int ; mid t.vat be hael heard from the mouths of ierosecutors Itormselres, who have Innocent, d for capital offences, "beer three was a danger of the person's being executed, the erealcst . regret that they bad so Jour; and many times they have ex. pressed a wish, that had they been able to bare foresees. the consequences, they would never have el' sorlell to the laws of their country. Ile lam related the ease of a servant who committed a rubbery upon him ; the mao was a pprehended. and his ;MN fins clear; but Dr. bithingiou "refused to prosecute, for no other retain), but that he could not Mance himself to run the ri.k of faking awry the life of a man" Sir. Charter Ai hamlet, a manufacturer of wiudow.glass at Neweestle, and a seller of window glans in 1.1)1W11,1,, hail ob served a very COl:Siarrabk indisposition to prosecute in ca pital cases an.ong the traders of London cenerally; and emaciates t h at this reluctance would abate if the punish ment were mitigated to something less 'llan death, Mr. Isaac Lyon Goldomill, a broker to the Bank and to merchants, whose experience in the transact' of broken' is very extensive, entertains no doubt that the punishment of death has a tendency generally to prevent suet thinks that eridenee to that effect eirichi he discovered its hundred. of inslaieras. A servant of ma own roturnitted a very aggravated forgery upon him. She confessed her guilt to the Magistrate before whom s h e was taken; but it appearing that if she was prosecuted at all, it must be capi tally, Mr. Goldsmiel declined all further proceeding., tool she was liberated. In the next family en which she became to servant she committed another capital felony ; and again the severity of the law appeare to have been Ler pride clime. Mr. naiad Gurney, a banker in the roomy of Norfolk, declared his uwu reluctance, and had observed a similar re luctance among many hankers and traders in the country to prosecute in rears of forgery, in consequeoce of the severity of the law. The dread of toeing illations'-mat in inflicting death had, with himself, and to hi. knowledge with others, operated as a iwatectiou to the criminal. In illiedratiuu of his sentiments, he mentioned the ease el a man who was in the habit of committing forgery, "and was fort proseimicel in consequence of the capital punishment." Mr. Gurney rem Mere that " his ruin rty as • banker wont.' be none so. cure, if the punishment were nut so severe, because there would be inure inelinaii 111 l to prosecute." Ile alms suggest. ed, that if in every torn of saflicient importance, an agent was invested with full authority from the Hank of England, to stamp She forged notes that were peen pied to b u n, it would be a cousederalle check to their circulation. In this opinion Mr. %Villiani Birk lot k, hotter .n the 11rat Riding of York, fully commend; seameiriug that if an aunt of this kind were authorised to put a mark ni modh notes, indicating that they were forged, it would firotistily throw them back we the origival home so early, as to Idiom him the futility of attempting to issue °tikes of a similar de scription. Your Committee c.innot hut consider the suggestion made by these respectable goillrinen as well meritit:g attention. After due convideratiou of this important premium your Committee are of opinion, that forgeries are W class of offeuces. respectiug which it is expedient to bring together and methodize the lass now in being. This in the present state of public feeling, a reduction of the punishment in most cases of that crime, is become necessary to the t xecutiou of the lawn, and consequently to the aecority of poverty tend the proeectioo of commerce; and that the menus adopted by the Legislature to return to our ancient standard of value, render the reformatitie of the Criminal Laws re specting forgeries, a matter of very considerable urgency. Private forgeries sill, in the opinion of the Commit. tee, be sufficiently and most effecthally repressed by the punishments of transport:l(Mo and imprisonment. As long as the smaller notes of the Bank of England shall con tinue to cuostitute the principal part of the circulating medium of the kingdom, it may be reasonable to place them 1 , 11 the same footing with the metallic corn ncy; your Committee, therefore, propose that the forgery of these moles may 'for the present remain a capital offence; that the uttering of forged batik Soles shall, for the first offence, he transportatlusi ur impriumment; hut t.hat on the see I conviction, the offeuder shall be deemed to be a c 1111 l noon letterer of forged notes, and shall, if the prosecutor shell so desire, he prosecuted as such, which will render him liable to capital puutskinent. Respecting the offence of kuow iogly possessiug forged notes, your Committee have nu al teration to suggest, but what they conceive could be fit in all transportable offences, that a discretion should be vested in the Judges to substitute imprileunmeol with hard labour for traiesportatiou, where such a substitutina shall seem to them expedient. As the discovery of the actual • forgers of bank motels has been found by experience to be in the highest degree difficiat, your Committee consider the suggestion of the Commissioners fur impairing into the means of prevent- log foigeries, of offering All unusual large reward foe the detection of forgeries, as worthy of scrims. consideration ; to such rewards is grtieral, the Committee feel as ions peratalc uktrction. In Vie case of forgery there are cit. irnmelances which casideratily weaken the objection.— Nii jury could convict in such a ease, on the m're evidence of an informer, unsupported by the difueovery of thrum mate rials, implensettia, and establishments seer..story fur carryseix on the criminal ortern. 'f Ise reward would therefore bawl lit tle tendency to clulanger innocent men, by fslee accuvstion. The evidence on which the conviction world rest mind be of It curl whirls ran hardly deceive. The informer would node furnish th e key, by which the means of evidence would be found; the reward would s alba. be fur detection il.an fur cusiciesion. _ . These are several points on which your Committ-e are el..bums of offering eome observatimis to the !louse; two of 'llse are of great importance; the first relates to the best means of ensiding Judges to pronounce sentence of death milv iu those emus where they tine'. it probable that dea.li will h.• inflicted; the aerosol, wheiiier the establtsh turnt and arcessible jorisilieltolis, fur the trial ufantall Wieners, with the help ofJories, but with sim ple forms of proceeding. and corrective insu jabot.- 'its, nticilt lost be a means of checking the first stem , towards frinsinas lily. These and other parts of this great subject, the Com mittee hope that the noose nap allow thi at another oppor tunity to consider, by permitting them iis the next Session to rrsostne, and if possible to complete their Mertes irs. The Committee consider themselves se boiesol to express their f eat 41,4- to Mr. Evans, the barber and must meri torious Vire.thaneellor of the County Palatine of Lancaster; to Mr. Lou:, a respectable barrister; and to Mr. Jameson, a sII,IIIC crust. mate employed in the st Oily of the law, fur the blieral sod useful aid which °icy have it fills fled during the whole conrse t.f the investigation. - Yiinr Committee will conclude by ioformisoc the Mots-, that its por.ssaore of the various °potions awl reroinntro slalious which they have staled 0b....., silty lines instructed their Chairman CJ, ly in the next Session of Parham. 00000 vr for leave to bri,i iu Bills to the ohj.ct. and of which this Report is iotended to explaiu the galore al to prove Ih^ lioness.
