Here the ease for tin• prosecution closed—and the Pri soner being called on Mr his defence, said, in a mild and Smut tune—‘ I leave my case entirely W the hands of my l'unaitel" The following witnesses were called to the chm rar•r.r of the Prisoner Charles Edward Clarke, of Arabella-row, had known the Prisuaer fur eight years. He saw him almost every day. Hs was a most humane awl excellent character. Janos toe, of Banelagla.mptxre ; James Thomas Baker, of Pimlico; Caesar Underwood, of Ratielaglostreet, Pim• Leo; Thos.

Sosci al of the 'flumes, who were all tradesmen of repute, k.,ew die Prisoner Gus his infancy—aud tome of them less than eaght • tears. Mr. Justice Rase summed up. lie observed, thst he sod the Jury host ■ must painful duly to erforni—but, paiuful as it woe, he trusted t h ey us, d ?Mom it • outicittutiuubly. However they might lament that the utifortunatt man at the bar, ' who had entitled himself, throegh a long coarse of years, to the excellent character he had this day received, should have done an action that placed him in such an awful situation, still they must look to the evidence, and to the evidence only. Whatever weight the goodness of the Prisoner's character might have elsewhere, in this place he conceived it could have no effect whatever. This was one of those melancholy casts in which • Mali, after sustai ll ill g a humane character for several years, forfeited it in a moment—and it was for the Jury to consider whether it was not an act of ferocity, which fully sustained the indictment that had been preferred against the Prisoner. The statute 'miler which the Prisoner was indicted, was proposed to the Legislature by the late ever-to be-lainesited Chief Justice of the King's Bench, and was adopted by them. By that statute, any person stabbtrig another, with an intent to kill, or to do some grievous bodily harm, was subjected to the penalty of death. Could there be any doubt, that the Prisoner at the bar had intended to take away the life of this woman ? It was evident that great bodily harm hail been rustsined—and, if death had fol- I this would, to all intents and purposes, have been u case of murder. The palliation which had beet' set up en this case arose from the circumstance of the person injured standing in the relation of wife to the Prisoner. It appeared that she had misconi ductsd herself—and us it appeared that she had se p.iroi ed herself fora twelvemonth from her husband, the Jury might assume that she had eloped from him; hut that afforded no justification for murder. If a man surprised his wife in an adulterous act—in fin growl delicio—and killed her, on the Mauna, the law of England did not deem it murder—because it was supposed, that,.where an individual discovered himself to be wounded in the tenderest point— wounded at once in his hoppioess and honour — the shock might produce temporary insanity; but, if the shortest time were given for reflection, the law did not recognize such a plea. In this instance, the inifortunate woman had repented of her crime— she sought her husband's forgiveness—but their in terview terminated by this desperate assault on her person. Yet this poor creature, when the dreadful conflict was over, kissed the hand that had shed her blood. She acknowledged that she had behaved ill, and she forgave her husband ; but whatever her feelings might be—however she might con sider this transaction—the Jury had a special duty to perform—namely, to say whether this act of fe rocity w..s not committed, either with a design to murder the woman, or to do her some grievous bodily harm ? The Learned Judge then recapitu lated the evidence at length. At twenty minutes before two, the Jury retired to consider their verdict. They consulted for a quarter of an hour—And, on their return, pro nounced a verdict of Guilty. The Foreman then recommended the Prisoner to mercy, on account of his good character. Mr. Justice BEST -" That recommendation shall certainly be attended to in the proper quarter." The Prisoner did not appear to be at all affected when the verdict was pronounced. He bowed to the Court as he retired. Mi.:abet/I Dunham was again put to the bar, and repeated her former answer; namely, that she was guilty of taking but not of stealing the Bank keys. Mr. Serjeaut BOSANQUIT stated the case out the pail of the Batik ; and said it was with extreme re gret the Governors felt themselves imperiously call ed on to prosecute the Prisoner at the bar. That she had taken the keys in question there could be no doubt : if she had taken them, knowing what she was doing, then she had been guilty of a theft, and ought to be punished ; if, on the contrary, she had acted under the influence of insanity, then, in deed, under that severe dispensation of Providence, she ought not to be punished by a human tribunal; but still it would be necessary that steps should he taken to provide for her ufety in futu re, and to protect the public, generally, from the inconvenience attend ing her conduct. He had no wish, nor did his instruc tious call on him, to bear hard on this unfortunate Prisoner. tie could not but consider, that at the time she took the keys in question she laboured un der the influence of insanity; and as persons suf fering under that malady were generally known to have some peculiar propensity, so had Mrs. Dun ham: her taste was for keys; and the Jury would perhaps scarcely credit him, when he stated the ex tent to which she had carried her depredations in this respect. The officer, when he searched her lodging, found upwards of two thousand key., all labelled with the names of the places to which they belonged in her own hand-writing. Some of these were taken from places worthy of notice ; amongst them he would enumerate a few. The keys of the Church Missionaries Society Office. Bell's-build ings; of the counting-house of the Duke of York's School ; of the College of Physicians; of the Royal Exchange ; of the Temple Steps; of the Comity Prison ; of the Maidstone Gaol ; of the Judges' Office, Chancery-lane; of the Council Chamber, Old Bailey ; the padlock of Greenwich Hospital, &c. There was also another key of rather a curious description. She had on one occasion been coati ed in the watch-house, and had a clog locked rouud her leg: by some mesas she coutnved to obtain this key and that of the watch-house, released her self from the encumbrance of the clog, unlocked the door of the watch-house, and went her way, tak ing both keys with her, which were found amongst her collection, ticketed like the rest. In her hands, perhaps, they were harmless, but they might fall into the hands of others, where they would not be so. The Learned Serjeaut then proceeded to call witnesses, and to prove the facts of her taking the Batik keys. The evidence was the same as that we have formerly given in our police reports. On the keys being produced in Court, and the Judge asking if she had any question to put to the witness, Prisoner—" I wish to look at these keys. my Lord, and see if they are the same (the keys were handed to her by order of the Judge). Now, my Lord, I hold them for the right owner, for my King and my country, and on my own account, and have only to look to the Prince Regent fora free par don." She refused to give them up again to the officer. On being called on for her defence, she said all she had done she had done to obtain her rights. She had labelled the keys. because the consiables cdnie so frequently and threw them shout, that she could nut distinguish one key from another. She had relations, hut no friends, and now came to his Lordship, as to • just and upright Judge. to do her right, which had not been dote in this country for a long time. Mr. Justice Rlcriaansox summed up to the Jury, and said, if they should be of opinion the Prisoner was insane when she took the keys, of which circumstance he thought there was fall proof, then they wotld find her not guilty. The Jury found her Vol Guilty. and the Court directed she should be detained uutil steps could be adopted for taking care of her. Mary Ann Butler was convicted of 'dealing a gallon of wine in the house of Sir Robert Seppiugs, on the 3d of June last. The Prisoner was nbout twenty-five years of age. of respectable appearance, and appeared much affected by her situation. She solemnly affirmed her innocence. MIDDLESEX ritcslims. FORGERY ON THE BANK OF DRONTHEINt. Saturday Peter Moller, a foreigner, was indicted for feloniously endeavouring to procure a certain copper-plate block to be engraved and made, to represent the promissory notes of the Bank of Dron theirn, in Norway. The indictment contained fif teen counts, and was framed according to the inter national form• agreed upon and embodied, by con sent of the Sovereigns of Europe, into an Act. which received their sanction at the Congress at • Vienna. Mr. REYNoL!'s stated the case to the Jury. Mr. Robert Scott, the engraver, residing in the Sirand, muted, that on the 27th of last May the Prisoner called upon him, and inquired if he could execute some curious engravings for him, for which he would agree to pay a large sum of money, if they were finished to his satisfaction. Mr. Scott agreed to make an effort to please his new custo mer, slid desired to be furnished with the neces sary• indructions respecting the curious engraving which the stranger wished to have done. The latter said he would call in a few days, and bring with him the pattern which he wished to have copied.— Accordingly, in a few days, the Prisoner called a second time, and presented to Mr. Scott what struck him at the instant to be a foreign bank note, desiring him to make a plate exactly resembling the copy he had 'hewn him, and saying, that if the copy was well done, he would pay handsomely for the work, and perhaps have further business for the engraver. Mr. Scott agreed to undertake the work, but said he merely did so with a view to detect the party, whom he strongly suspected at the time to be contemplating something that was bad. He therefore kept the note which the Prisoner presented to him as the copy for the new engraving, and which, on subsequent inquiry in the city, he ascertained to be a genuine promissory note of the Bank of Droll. theist), in Norway, and payable for a su:n of shout 555. British currency. The Prisoner said he should want about three thousand copies of the new engrav ing struck off; and Mr. Scott also understood, on so large a scale was this work arranging, that two other foreigners were endeavouring to engage artists in the metropolis to make engraved copies from genuine notes, purporting to be of the same batik, and the orders, which these parties had arranged, if they had succeeded in their object, would have given each of the three, in the course of one month, forgeries on the Droutheim Bank to the amount of 8,0001. sterling ; the ultimate operation of which, if thrown into circulation iu Norway, would have been most fatal to the Norwegian traders on the coast. — The Drontheim notes were the only currency in Norway, there being no specie in use in that coun try. Mr. Scott said, that the moment be had gut to the bottom, as he thought, of the Prisoner's real intention, he had determined to go on with the work so far as the execution of the plate, not to deliver it to the Prisoner, but to detect and bring hint to pub lie justice. lie therefore communicated with Baron Stertilicildt * the Swedish Euyoy, and apprised him from time to time of his progress in the plate, and his repeated visits from the Prisoner. A► Mr. Scott was nut accurately informed of the proceedings of the two other foreigners, who were endeavouring to procure plates, the Swedish Envoy wrote to Dron• theim, to put the bank there on its guard, rind to secure the traders spinet the extensive fraud which was contemplated. As soon, however, as Mr. Scott had got all the information he could from the Prisoner, and kept the engraving on his hands as long as the patience of the latter would hold out, Imeans were then taken to secure the Prisoner, and destroy his whole scheme of contemplated fraud. Two witnes►es proved the translation of the note, as set forth in the indictment, to be correct, and the note given by the Prisoner to Mr. Scutt to be a genuine one of the Bank of Drontheim. The Prisoner's Counsel made an attempt to quash the indictment, by urging objections against the form of the note as applicable to its description, as set forth iu the indictment, but they were over. ruled. The Jury found the Prisoner Guilty, and the Court immediately sentenced him to one year's im prisonment in the House of Correction. BREACHES OF THE PEACE. _ A stupid looking old fellow, named Craseptax, who was attired in tattered old black clothes, was put to the bar, and articles of the peace exhibited against him by a lady of rank in Sloane-street, Chelsea, who had been anueyed by him fur some time. He was in the habit of taking his station in front of the lady's house, and following her wherever she went, talking of love and piety. She was at length obliged to take this mode of gettiug rid of the pious exhortations and amorous atteutions which the old would-be protector was so lavish► in obtruding upon her. He was a cobbler, who resided in the neighbourhood, and about twice, at least, the age of the lady. The Outman asked him how he could think of annoying a lady in this manner, and presume to continue his annoyance for month after mouth, notwithstanding the means that had been taken to get rid of him. The Prisoner pretended to be deaf, but persons who knew him said he had very cormaieut auricular organs when he pleased. rile COURT desired one of the prison-keepers to tell him he must enter into 'arches, himself in 50% and two others in 101. each, to keep the peace for this year, or in default of finding them he must go back to prison. The Prisoner then appeared suddenly to fall into possession of his hearing, and said he now knew he had committed great error, and he was very sorry for it, He also wished to assure the lady, who sat with her mother and sister on the bench, that he would desist from his visits in future. The COURT, however, ordered him to enter into the necessary sureties, or be remanded to prison. INDICTMENTS FOR SEDITIOUS LIBELS. An indictment has been preferred against ✓ohn Hockfry, who, it will be recollected, is the person who held the placard at the dour of the Crown and Anchor Tavern, at the Meeting of the2lst August. He was committed from Bow-street, on the charge of publishing a seditious libel, by exhibiting the said placard, and was imprisoned for seven days in the House of Correction, Coldbash-fields, until bailed by Mr. Caddo. by whom he was employed. He was also threatened with further imprisuutn•nt for non-payment of a sum of 41. 10d. for fees. The Grand Jury have thrown out the hill. INHUMAN OUTRAGE. THR KING N. JOHN CORNET MARRA. The drove Derendetat was indicted at these Ses sions for a most atrocious assault. Jane Greenslade, the Prusecutrix, stated, that in the yeas: 1817, she lived with Mrs. Currie, Upper Islington-terrace, as servant. She there formed some acquaintance with the Prisoner, from his being employed by a relation of Mrs. Conic, as messen ger. The day before he committed the outrage. he dropped a letter down the area of the house, an nouncing his intention of a visit the afternoon fol lowing. He came accordingly, and drank tea with her; after which he staid, awl did trot seem willing to go. " At eight o'clock." said she, " I took up my mistress's supper into the parlour. When I re fumed into the kitchen, this bellow was sitting by the fire with his face towards it." I heard him rattle the poker against the bars of the grate, and saw him comb his hair over his eyes, and I remem ber it was quite black. I then looked at him with surprise, and could not imagine what all this meant. He then might the poker nut of the fire, and gave usefice or six murderous blows mud beat in my skull—toe most dreadful blows that ever eyes beheld. He then threw me down and put his fingers into my mouth to tear it, and to break my jaw -bone, as I suppose. The injury of his nails on my lips and mouth were so bad that for a long time afterwards I was unable to speak. He likewise gave me two violent blows on my right arm, one on the left arm, and another on my left fingers, so that I could not move my hands nor even feed myself. My left hand has its consequetice been paralysed and nearly helpless up to the present time; at last the fellow left me upon the floor as he thought for dead. He these ran up stairs with the poker in his hand, and went out by the back door. When I turned myself round and missed him I thought he was gone to kill my mistress ; my cries were so great that I disturbed all the neighbours. I raised myself with difficulty, and looked out, when I perceived that lie had opened the yard door. nod let himself out. At the seine time I heard a violent knocking. The neighbours op posite saw the Prisoner knocking at the door. He told them that somebody had been at No. 11, and murdered the servant. He said, if they would go for a surgeon, he would go for an officer. and then he made his escape."—He had not until the pre. thous week since been heard of. He was formerly the teacher to a free school, in Tuoley-street, and when in distress site had often given him victuals and lent him money. Mr. Robert Semple, sturgeon, 85, Upper-street. Islington, and several other witnesses, corroborated this evidence. The poker, which had been deposited at Bow street, was here produced. It was a large kitchen poker, and was still clotted over with hair and blood. It was nearly broken in the middle, and much bent from the violence of the blows. Anthony Harrison, the Marshalman stated, that on Monday last, he saw the Prisoner opposite the M an si on House. amongst the crowd which were following the procession of Hunt. From the de scription which had been given of him he had no doubt of his being the nian : he accordingly took hint into custody, after much resistance, on his part by endeavouring to make the mob believe that his arrest was of a political nature. They, however. were not dispo►ed to render him any ass.stance. Until he was identified by the Proset•utrix he per sisted in stating that Ins name was Davison. The Prisoner, in Ins defence, admitted that he had called on the l'rosecutrix ot► the day mentioned, and had taken tea with her. In the course of the eening he had taken improper liberties with her, when she turned round and bit him severely on the finger, whets he in the irritation of the moment might have taken up the poker and hit her. The Jury instantly found the Prisoner Guilty. The CHAIRMAN sentenced the Prisoner to one year's imprist tttttt east in the House of Correction, and at the expiration of that period to 6ud sureties, Himself in 100/. and two others in 401. to keep the peace for revers y ea rs. At the close of the proceedings, a subscription was iminedistely entered into by the Jury and se. vend other humane persona its Court, for the pour woman. A duel was fought on Wednesday lost at Bou logne, between two Eugliwh ufficers, Ensign FRAI ZER, of the Army, and Lieut.
