i LANCASTER ASSIZES, AUGUST 41. VOW MT. Thames Ad amson , twill 35, was indicted t.r fnneeer o n a walcio-care, the stamp used be Ito.• assayer of -;old in slw city of Chester. This rosisctinent forsuled mi 58 Geo. 111. C. 159 , s. 7. Irte Act milnwea the massofactorere of gold w.,re to Vie f.r tier standard of -22 carats to 18 carats, I rovirtil itiat all gold ware should be certiti-d iiii4 Plionstir.l value, by assayers appointed by the Coostortiv of Goldsmiths, and having their offices us York, &tort, Bristol. Chester, Nortek!), or Neweastle-manta-Tene. All the operative of gold in Liverpool get their works assayed in Chester.— Tlle elsatrer against the Prisoner, a watch-vise m..ker to Lierrnool, was, that he had forged the Chester assayet's stamp, which was a Crown, and 18 under it, on the left a leopard's head, on the right t sword and three sheaves (the Chester Armr), and below the letter T. (which was • variable part of the stump, n new letter being successively adopted every )ear), indicating the year 1817. Lewis Sistnnel proved that he bought the watch in the itsdictioent from one Rigby, and got a new ease made to it by the Prisoner. He then sold it to James Goodell Helsby, a watch-este maker in Liverpool. Ile could nut swear to the identity of the case produced with the case made by the Pti @otter. Iwreu.e he had afterwards give. it to Birch to have it pulaslwd. Birch was not a witness. James Gooden Helsby stated, that he bought the watch, of which the 'casein question formed a part, from Samuel ; and he, with 'even other persons, went to the Prisoner, and said the stamp appeared not to be ge se. The Prisoner proposed to have it sent to Chester, in order to ascertain whether it was so or not ; he admitted the workmanship to be his. This mail was rigidly cross-ezannined, and he admitted that he had bought stoles goods frond She Prirmer (but he had returned it before it war irked) ; he denied, however, that he ltd troy prospect of gaining any customers by the 111111 of the Prisoner : he was nut aware that his father was one of a committer formed for proaecuting the Prisoner. Mr. Walker, the assayer in Chester, clearly ttroved that the stamp in question was a forgery, He had been appointed assayer in 1809 to wavered his father. The first appointment was during pleasure; he was afterwards re-appointed every year. lie In! taken the oath required only at his first air pointment. Mr. Cams and M►. WILLIAMS argued, that since the Act required in oath on the past of the assayer, snore the indictment charged the forging of the assayer of Chester's stamp. and **nice the witness had not taken the oath since his appoint. ment for the specific year, the iodic►meot could not be maintained. The Learned Judge agreed to reserve this point in case it were sweessery. A second point urged was, that the original Chester stamp flag Itot produced, but only a copper-plate un pres•ion, and therefore the evidence could not cor respond to the indictment. His Lordship thought that the original had been produced in the Oid B itley. It war replied that the original plate. &c. were never required in the case of Batik notes, and that the original stamp would both he useless in that Court, and most injurious to the trade if re.nuved from Chester. where it was its constarit use. His Lordship thought this a matter of fact for the consideration of the Jury. Mr. Cau•s next eudeavoured to spew. by cross. examiniog Sir. Walker. that the crows aid IM. which were common to all assay stamps in England. Ireland, and Scottai,d. might be a genuine impres sion, though not from the Chester office. Mr. Walker admitted that it might be a genuine im pressois from Edinburgh or Dublin, as lie had never seen their stamp,. The crown and 18 being the only part charged iii the indictment, M►. Cross seemed armpits to push this point to the utter most. `• D•r you lwlieve that this may he a genuine impression :'•—`• No, I do not."—rr y o u minu s be sure that it is trot ?"--., No ; I irate said so, but I have no doubt upon the subject; if there were a loop to hang a doubt on, 1 should be most happy to snake use of it.'—`• 0, Mr. Walker. don't misunderstand me, as if I insinuated any thing to she contrary ; I have had the pleasure of knowing you in Chester—(in a lower lone) Mr. Walker was our friend at the election." This pos. *Utility of genuitiruess was also left for the coital deration of the Jury. The Prisoner ascribed the prosecution to the enmity of Helshy. Two witnesses were called, who stated that they had always worked for the Prisoner; that he had no counterfeit stamps, and could nut have them without their knowledge; and that the case in qur•non bud bents sent In Chester, as all other wares mere sea by the Prisoner. He had always sent gild to be assayed to Mr. Maduck, who srus employed in forwa►ding the goods of many watch. cape makers. and others. to Cheater. They were sure that lie had pent the cruse in question. The hest character was given to the Prisnuer for honesty and fair dealing.
