On trit.reore to the pelittoti presented to thief:milt on a former d .y it was found to contain the signa ture of the Prisoner, who wished to revoke his plea of gstilty to tint rumor offence.

Mr. Serjeant BOSANOLIFT timid the Bank hurt no tritsh, nor way or the other, in these cases, but for public justice; hr therefore hoped the Prisoner would merely commit its own frellogs, and receive from the Court whatever indulgeece lie *as thought entitled to. Mr. Baron WOOD—" The Prisoner is one of those who hove petitioned for pertina•ion to with doter the plea already recorded. The Court is ready to grant the solver of their petition, and the Prisoner must abide the coosegnences." The Prisoner -" My Lord, I wish to know whe ther, if I am discharged on my trial for Mr capital offence, I shall be transported afterwards fur the Minor offence ?" Mr. Boron 1Vo00—" That nits4t entirely deurtol MI the result of )our trials, thuald the Prusecutuis 111/011 both.

He then contended that the certainty of the punishment for the • tor mater was au mer fectual way to tepress the criminality to which it was applied. fie then begged to correct several erroneous statements which had gout abroad among the public. It had been asserted that the Bank, in suasequence of the acquittal of certain Prowlers on a former day, hail ackilostledged itself to he in error respecting the law as it minted to pro.ecut' Of this Cod, and jwd abandoned tenni,' other prosecutions. This was not the fact ; they had shim. doted tits .pi osecuti tttt s its the manner stated. They hod given lip two prosecutions inertly heesuse the crisis:rice they hrd in support of them had been asocieditell by a former Jury, and they would nall. therefore, press a second time upon any .fury evideirce winch hail beau deemed iusufli. cent by t i e Jury that preceded them. He eke thought it important to correct another mistake. It had iwtett misted, that. certain unfortunate par sons, who now ha t' under capital convictioiss, had hail en opportu nity from the. Bank of pleading guilty to the minor Offence. There was not a word of truth in this : the Batik ois the former, as well as on all other occasions, had given the usual notice to the Prisoners respecting their trials, and whether for the capital or the toinor offence ; and the Liam , Yuriale persons now under sentence had beau tried alone ors the capital charge. The Learned Serjeant then stated the particulars of the widener against the Prisoner as,„the bar, as st was sittnequently given by the witnesses. IVilliam Hanker. stated that he was the son of Robert Hanker, who was .4 hatter, reading at No. //9. Hultlont. On Thursday, the 19.11 of November, the Prisoner came to his father's shop, and asked fur a low priced hat ; witness shewed hint one, and he agreed to pay 9s. fur it, sod ten dered Into a 11. note. Suspecting it, witness asked , hint fur his name and address, and he wrote " Geo. elov, Eagle-street," on the Note. Eagle-street is dearly opposite witssess's shop. The note produced was the same. The suspicion which witness had we. iutinisted to his father, who came into the shop and asked fur pen and ink, fur the purpose of writ ing the Prisoner's addie•s. Prisoner said he had ilreedy written it ; but witness's father seeing no number, asked the Prisoner what number it was, and he said No. 13. Witneos's father told him to go to Eagle -street, and the Prisoner said l►e would accompaoy him. Witness's father would not per tint him. Witorss went, and found that uo such person lived in Eagle-►treet, and on his return found the Prisoner in his father's custody. Robert Henke*, the father of last witness, wind, that on the tveniug iu questiou he was called into the shop. and lie got between the Prisoner cud the dour, and naked for a pen cud ink. Witness asked the Prisoner fur his address, and he said he had written his name and address on it. Witness looked at the mar, 111111 found two endorsements on it ; hut finding nu outlaw, to the address 1w asked the Pri soner for it, and he said Nu. 13. Witness told his son to go there. mid the Prisoner offered to nand 'Mew loin where ii was; witness told Prisoner it was, a forged note, Hod he (Prisoner) should stop there until his sun roomed. Witness's son went, and the Prisoner said he could nut see that witness had a right to detain hint if he had a forged note in his possession. Witness said it may be, and if such I person lived there it may he all right. Prisoner told witness if he would go siring with him he would thew him where lie took the note. Witness told him he should not. Prisosirr !Lori' said o " You shall nut detain me, for I will go." %Vanes* told hints he should nut go ; he then went towards the door. and witness collared him, but having a good deal of glass about his shop he did nut like to have a scuffle, and the Prisoner forced himself out upon the pavement, when he fought away right and left at witness's face, and witeirse let go his hold to de fend himself, Hod knocked Prisoner down in the kennel ; and as lie was endeavouring to get up wit ness made a grasp at him, hut Prisoner avoided it. and rams down Holborn. Witness pursued him as fast as he could, crying, " Stop thief !" and a watch- mass near Chaucer;-true put his hand out, tried to catch hint, but threw him down, and witness seised bins; took hint hick to the house, and sent for a constable ; just as thry got to the shop witness's ion Iwd conic back, and said there was no such iwrsuo living in Bugle-►treet. Witness wrote his . mune au the floe, and he was sure the one pro duced was the tame. Ann wile of %Villain Grigg, void that on the 15th ut . November aut. ►he lived at No. IS, unit the Prisoner to her knowledge tidal never laves! there. The Prisoner was a perfect stronger to her. Dennis Cd tttt ing, the watchman, proved having stopped the Primmer in Holborn. and his being taken hack to the Prosecutor's *hop. . . Robert Newniati, officer of the night at St. Giles 's watch-house, and Daniel Furzeaiun, a con stable, proved his being brought to the watch-house the tamie eietiiiig, alien he admitted that his name wits Joi n s, and that he reside) in Parker. aireet, Drury-lane. Furzemais also swore that the Prisoner said to him, he knew it was a had note, and that lie knew he should " go for life." Furze man afterwards wrist to No. 5, Parker-soreet, Drury-laise,and found a woman, who acknowledged lirraelf the wife or the Prisoner, and she permitted I to search Irer WOW, but lie found nothing sus pitons*. . Charles n milkman, corroborated the evi dence of the two lasi witnesses. When Mr. Baron Wont) asked the Prisoner whether he had iniy questions to pat to Ball, he replied, 'hot the %tittles.- hail called himself is milk- n -:.11, but lie howllitng more thou • colder to Fin zrwian, the emistabir, and was employed . by lion to entrap phut men he could. The next witness called was Thomas Evans.-- Witness. Is salassot to Jamey Ethielk, Mu haber dasher, No. 5, Covrotty•strret. The Pri.osser came to his Inuster's shop um the sth of Nov. and, in pay. meat for a count, 'dried a 1/. note ; and *lien :eked rat his addre,s, he wrote upon the note, fioyser„ Georgr-street, Adriphi," tool then ,ad, that was Isi. toaster's moor. Mr. Edslells said he would send auto b..dy with him to istgaire, sod uu thr way to ihr Ativhda he reaped. Julio !.era, lialik losspectot, deposed, that the notes .14,w he fuse tire Cutert were tersepev. fie • • knew their to be furge►ie% by many eireninstances. The date and number of Batik lintel, were all stereo typed. but Sint Po lii the forgeries. In the paper Walt (or the Bank the water-mark was formed at Ihr time of making it, but in the forges-4es it was engraved. He had no doubt that the note now ealtated was a forgery. 111 answer to questions front Jurors, he stilted that there were no other metros of detecsing a forgery that lie could satisfactorily lie chiefly relied upon his experience; the paper was different from that used by the Bank. The Hank had, in one instance, taken a forged note. mistaking it fur genuine, but the note was old, touch defaced. and had paper pasted oil the back. -- Tabor, a signing clerk. said the name affixed to the present note war nut his writing. He could tint be mistaken. The JUDGE then summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after a few minutes consultation, found the Prisoner Guilty. Mr. Baron WOOD observed, " I am glad that this trial has taken place. It will prove to the public that the Prisoner now convicted did not, on the former occasion, acknowledge himself to be guilty, without being conscious that he was so." Wm. Davis was then put to the bar, and ad dressed by Mr. Justice HOLROYD to the fullussiug effect : - - William Davis, a petition has been presented by certain Prisoners, among whom I do not see your mime, to be allowed to withdraw the plea of guilty they had previously pleaded to the charge of hav ing forged notes 111 their poiweiwiou ; is it your *loll to withdraw your plea ?" Pritioner--. 4 It is no w , Mr. Justice HOLROYD—." You should under stand that by pleading guilty, you subject yourself to transportation for fourteen years ; do you still abide by your plea ?" Prisoner—" I do, my Lord." The Prisoner was then indicted on the capital offence. Mr. Serjrant BOSANVIET said, he should pro. dace no evidence, sad the Prisoner was accordingly Acquitted on that charge. Wm. Clocker was then put to the bar, and ar raigned on both indictments, to each of which he pleaded Not Guilty. Being asked if it was his determination to with draw his plea of Guilty to the minor indictment, and take his chance of trial un both ? he answered it was. The indictment WIIP then read to the Jury, charg ing the Prisoner with feloniously having in his prissestion, knowing it to be forged, a forged Bank note for IL purporting to be of the Batik of England. Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUIT addressed the Jury. He said, that it appeared the Prisoner at the bar had resolved to pursue a different course from the last. The last might have been imposed upon by bad advice, and the Prisoner at the bar might have acted on better, But it was his earnest wish that he should be tried on the evidence to be pro.. (faced, tvithout reference to the last time, or any thing that had occurred before. He was extremely anxious it should be unequivocally understood, that no step whatever had been taken by the Bank, to induce prisoners to adopt one course in preference to another. If the evidence which should be pro duced to the Jury would not satisfy them that the Prisoner at the bor. was guilty of the offence with which lie stood charged, it would become matter of impossibility to guard against the corn. mission of such crimes, whether of a public or private nature, in this great commercial coun try. A bill of exchange, or a deed, was writ. ten on common paper, on pipes that had ho thing peculiar whereby to facilitate the detec tion and proof of a counterfeit ; and the simple deposition of a party that • signature purporting to be his, was not so, was held a sufficient proof of the forgery. But here the matter was car►ied much further. The notes of the Bank of England are impressed on paper peculiarly their own—on paper expressly protected by the authority of the Le. gislature, mud which no other hornet' being could have in possession without incurring the guilt created by the Act. Even to have the mate rials of such notes in possession before they were impressed, was an offence of which several persons had been convicted. The prosecutions about to be brought forward would be supported by the testi mony of respectable tradesmen who had suffered from the prevalence of the offence. The Bank had deemed it their bounden duty to undergo the ex pense, and to assist by every means in brioging the offenders to justice. The testimony would not be liable CO a breath of suspicion. The Learned Ser jeant then drew an outline of the facts of the case; after which— _ Elizabeth Macklin vs. called, sworn, and ex. attuned by Mr. /Utz°Los.—ls the wife of M. hlaekliir, grocer. 31, Baldwin-street, St. Luke's. Recollects the Prisoner at the bar coining to the shop on the Gth November last, between cleven and twelve o'clock in the forenoon; he said he wanted some tea and sugar I that his wife had been put to bed that morning, and could not come herself, and wished him to come there, thinking witness would give him change as she dealt there ; he had two minces of tea and half a pound of sugar, with other trifling artieles, which altogether came to 26. and lie gave her • Bank note; toted about giving the change, and asked Ins urine, which he Kaye as Mr. Cummins, K, Rild. win's-gardens ; wrote the address ou the note her. srlf-.-LThe note was here banded to Witness, which she Identified, and stated her hand-wntiug► on it to be as above, with the addition of M.

A small bit appeared wanting in the head of the mite. The Prisoner, on the usual question heitig put, said the is itinmi had never seen him at .i I er .bolt. Wm. Pemberton, husband of last witness, identi fied the nole—tore it in anger, the piece belonging to it was mislaid. His wile, Elizabeth Pemberton, WWI again called, and stated that she inquired in Riciimond-street, and could not herr of Amy perm' called Cleaver there. Isaac Russet lives at 5, Ricl d-Ateet, and did on the 4th and sth November 14%4—Prisoner never lived there: Mr. REYNOLDS observed to the Jury, that the tort note was not the one on which the indict ment was founded. John Loess, boot and shoemaker, 83, Paternos ter-row, Union-street, Spitalfields, deposed, that the Prisoner at the bar parsed a I/. note, which he afterwards discovered to be forged, to hint, un the Ist August last. He identified the noir, having at the time written on it the address given hum, " Win. Clarker, 17, Clerkenwell-close." John Lees, an Inspector of the Bank of England for above 20 years, examined the note on which the iniiictinent was grounded, and pronounced it to be forged in every respect. The paper was not the Bank paper, the water-mark having been iinpr eA r t l on this after it was made, niereas in the other it was formed in the weaving: the plate was nut the Bank plate. The signature purporting to he that of Jas. Staples is not his hand-writing; in this the date line was engraved, in the genuine note stereo typed, all the letters being fixed on one block. On the whole, he had no doubt that the note was a forgery. He then inspected each of the two other notes, and declared his conviction that each of them was forgery. One of the Jury then addressed Mr. Lees as fol lows :—" The question I am going to ask has been suggested by the appearance of a note torn, and apparently much worn. Is it not possible that a note may be worn and defaced so much by use ay to obliterate or render it difficult to distinguish the characteristic marks ; or may not that effect• follow from the applical of a cliyinical preparation ?" Mr. Lees—" I can't take upon me to pronounce on what may happen." Mr. Justice Houtoirn—" Is any,of these in this condition ?" Mr. Lees—" Not one, I am sure." Mr. Justice FioLitoYD—" Have you ever seen • genuine note in which you could nut distinguish the cfwr•cteristic tails ?" Mr. Lees—" Never ; some might require H more careful rumination than others, •but I never saw a genuine note in which the distinctive marks were nut after some time perceptible." Edward Staples, the signing clerk, said he was quite clear the signature to the note iu the indict ment was. not hi. hand-writing. Sarah Eglinton lived at '.t Baldwin's-gardens, the 6th of • November last ; the Prisoner at the liar did not reside there, nor uny person named Cummins. This was the case for the prosecution. The Prisoner being called on for his defence, said the witnesses had made up a iitnry against he was innocent, and threw himself on the mercy of the Jury. Mr. Justice HOLIWYD read over the evidence, and charged the Jury,' who ilia few minutes found the Prisoner Guilt'. Ha was then indicted on the capital charge, but Serjeant BOSANQUET, with the alloirence af the Judges, not bringing forward any evidence, lie was of course Acquitted. Williwn Sutton 111114 then put to the bar, and asked by Baron WOOD. whether he wipheil to with drew his plea of Guilty to the * r offence ? He replied not. He was then, p►o forma, imlieleti on the capital felony, and nu evidence being produced, Acquitted. John Mullins, Henry Townsend, aged 17, and ✓ohn Morris, aged 33, severally snood to their plea of Guilty on the minor charge, and were Acquitted on the other, no evidence brill; brought forward. John Kingston, Jeremiah Hr, feri, William King, and Dacid O'Hara, being put to the bar, ai,iivred their determination to withdraw their plea of guilty, plead nut guilty to both indictments, and take their chance of trial on both. Mr. Serjeeut HosANQuET read en affidavit of two persona, to the ithiers, of a ntaternd witness against O'Hara, hi s trial wss accordingly postponed till next Se.sino. The three others are to be tried ou Wednesday (this die)). Mr. Serjeant BUSAPIQOET daid he wished it to he understood, that in any remarks he had thrown out in the course of the (1,,v, or presionsly, on the mo tives of those of the Prisoners Who had withdrawn their plea, lie had not meant to attach the slightest imputation on any officer of the pri►on. lie did not know who had• advised diem to that course, and was ilWarr they had 'Much consultation and debate among themselves on such subjects.
