The defence set up was, that there did • exist such a.firm that descrined in the hill ; but the evidence adduced to prove this vt as of a very suspicious desc•iption.—Mr. GURNEY contended,. thotthe indictment oupt to have contained an aver ment, that tie firm was ficih'ious.--(Mt. ALLEY, for the prosecution, contended, this was long since settled not to' he necessary. Mr. 11,4011 WOOD, assisted by Mr. Baron THomrsoN„ and Mr. Justice BAILEY, concurred in this opinion, and the object lion being of muse over-ruled, the Jury found the prisoner Guilty—Death. There was another indictment of a similar nature against the prisoner,' which it was thus rendered •un necessaty to proceed - in. Uaikinson, the cellarman of Mr. Robin... son, an eminent wine merchant, ' as convicted of having robbed his master to a very considerable amount. He had been twenty years in Mr. R.'s service, and had sold many 'lnsilco& of port and claret, with choice wines in bottles, to publicans and others. Mr. It's loss is estimated at 20001. MIDDLESEX SESSIOLVS, APRIL 11. . . Henry Cawler was indieted for fraudulently ob taining, w.der false pretences, six promi,soty notes (or the payment of one pound, from Mary, tiic wife of Spright, on the 22d of October last. It appeareed in evidence, that the prisoner, at the time of thiS traosaetion, was a Clerk in - the Ticket odice, in the Navy 01 - 1 - iee. The prosecutrix, who resides at Kentish-town„having been informed that the prisoner had interest to procure ,he discharge of her son, (by a former husband), who was serving as a seaman on board kii Majesty's ship Active, called at his house in Ossulston-street, Somers-town, for the purpose of applying to . him on the aubjekl.-- , Not finding him within, however, at that tune, she lett her comtiiands and . re:urned -tome; in a few days afterw ar d s th e p r i s oner himself called upon her at Kentish Town, and said he under Stood she wish ed to obtain her son's - disehaige, adding :hat he could r settle the business at once,' and that her son might be home at least in less than two mouths. The prosecutrix, delighted with the hope, of seeing her child, asked him what would be . the .expense.—, He said it would cost 401. to procure the dis charge. The ProSecuirix expres'sed her. utter ina bility to raise such a sum; upon which. he . said that he would not warn th e money all at once,, but he must have 51. clown., She had not the Jnottey then in her possession, and. the prisoner went away, promising to call again. In the , mean time, the Prose,,utrix received a pressing request from her son, to t:y esery means in her power M &nail) his • discharge. lo two or three days afterwards the prisoner called . again upon the proseeutt ix, and told her she must contrive to raise some part of the Money. She.had then procured . / six 11. notes, and immediately gave them to:him,'and upon his com plaining that- that was a very small sum, she pro• tnised to send him some mote money in a few days. The pris'Oner went away with the 61. .promising to forward her wishes. in two days afterwards she Sent him two other 11. notes, which were delivered at his house by a hula boy. Some time having elapsed, and not hearing any account from the pri soner, she called upon bum at the Navy Office, to in quire what progress he had made in the business. . Ile received her with all the consequence. of official man, told her that the Lords Commissioners of the i Admiralty had not yet given their answer upon the subject, but her son's case was before them, consol ing her with The assurance:that things of that kind could not be done' in a hurry, and that it might be even three months before her son could be sent home. Shortly afterwards Mr, Gawler absconded from London, and the prosecUtrix did not see him again till be was in custody at Bow-street, upon suspicion of - misconduct of a more serious nature. The case on the part of the prosecution having been clearly made out, Mr.'ALLEY submitted to the Court, that however infamOusly wicked the conduct of the defendant was in the eyes of - every honest mart; the case had not been made out under the . Act of Parliament by whi c h he-was tried, inasmuch as Bank notes did not come within the meaning of the word murales, which was the .terrn used in the: Statute. The point be urged confidently, and he contended that no lawyer could correctly contradict him in this position. The Court, however, after hearitig the question argued at length, were clearly of opinion; that if Bank notes did nut come within the meaning of the term money, yet, as they were money's worth, they were to be recognized as money under this Ad of Parliament.—The Jury found the prisoner . qui/q. me. ALLEY again earnestly pressed the same point of law in at rest of judgment; but was again over-ruled by• - the Court, and the prisoner was sen tenced to seven }'eats' transportation. • Mr. ALLEY expressed his determination (at - his own expense) to try the question, by writ of error, befUre a higher tribunal. Thursday afternoon, a labourer, at work on board a vessel lying in the London• Dock, by some acci dent, slipped, and tell over the side into the Dock, and was, with much difficulty, saved from being drowned, but was so much hurt as to be taken to the Hospital with but little hopes of recovery. Thursday noon, the five following men, convicted at the late Maidstone Assizes for Kent, were exe cuted on Pendenden Heath, viz. J. Moore, for vio• lating the person of Charlotte Knell, of East Mail ing ; Guillaume Leman; Jean Fidelle lloueile, Fran cois Adams (French prisoners of war), and E. Franklin, for forgery, and being accessories to the same, on board the Glory, in the l'fledwv. They underwent their late with much lor►itucte. OBSERVATIONS AND A PLAN FCR BAtSIYG A Flail' RATE MAN OF %VAR or 120 GUNS, SUNK IN ANY HARBOUR Of ROADST/D.—EY ADMIRAL aiIR•C. H. KNdWLES. If a ship laclon is sunk at the depth of ten or twelve failionliwater, she may be reckoned to weigh double . her tonnage ; whence it follows, that two ,ships of the same class, in a light state, are suffi- Cent to rai,e her by the rise of the tide. This ex periment, on small vet,sels, has been tried, and veri fies the above assertion. Suppoie a man of war, complete, to sink in twelve fathoms water ; there are many L.ings on board her which arc specifically lig!.ter than water, and which Would float upon its surface; therefore - a ship, though full of water, 'has many things on board, which may ')e coosidered as a deduction from her tonnage. This, therefore, is in favour of the experiment. A white rope yarn made of good hemp, ought to support 90113. .with out breaking, and a white thirteen inch cable ought to bear easily t 2 ton,, according to the improved mode of making cables, whete every yarn bears an equal strain. Suppose the weight of a first rate man of . war, with guns and (our mouths stores and provi sions on board, to 'be two thousand tons, and this ship is sunk in t welve fathoms Water ;--allow the adhesiOn of the mud, &c. to be two thousand tons more, the aggregate four thousand tOns ; divide-four thousand by tWelve, the strain a thirteea inch cable is capable of bearing, and it gives 333, die number of cables requisite to weigh a first rate man of var. The following is'again.t the experiment. It will be difficult to swift a ship sunk with such a number of cables, and twenty-seven more are are at least re qui.ite, in case any should break. Suppose,.fur the sake of round numbers, each cable to be four inches in diameter, and As tour inches is oat-third of a lont, divide 360 the number of cables by 3, and one hundred and twenty feet is ilfe , beight three hundr e d and sixty cables would be, if placed. one upon an other. In swifting.the sunk ship, the cables will there fore ride one upon the other,; nor is this pos sible lobe avoided, as it will regitlre three hundr,d and thirty-three cables of thirteen inches to raise a first rate man of war of 120 guns, at twelve fathoms under water. There is not any iron work suffici ently st.ong insecure bits, &c. to. belay the cables, which would not break if the cibleS held, and by the jet k of so doing carry away perhaps the sides of the weiOnng ships froth the prodigious strain of so enormous a weig-ht. It thi-retore follows that the cables must not be belayed. ,Thirteen•inch 'Cables * of white•yirn should be used in preference to firger, as being lighter and more pliable, and the more so he better; but for thiS purpose alone. Suppose a first rate man of wat, with guns, stores, on board, to sink in ten or twelve fathoms water ; -let two ships of the same class in a light- state (a fort bight's provisious and wxer for the crews excepted) ,with . lower masts and jury topmasts rigged, be mcored head and stern alongside and above the ship sunk : let ,their lowy - deck ports be taken off their hinges, to prevent their being broken or spoiled.- - The loWer sills of all the ports must 'hare semicir cular wooden bolsters fixed on them, to prevent any injury io the cables. Let the tombings of the batos- Ways on the lower decks of botles!tips r,tis -(1 four . feet, to prevent any- water going down the hatch ways, though it is not piribab:e the weighing ships will be-depressed•so farts to permit the.water to en ter 'the lower deck ports, and the. scupper there should be plugged ,up - 6 ! sfote the experiment is made. Lit three - hundred and sixty thirteen. inch c,bles be made each eighty-five fathoms- long, and have an eye'spliced in one end of each cable. Let the hot-, ton: of t Ire ship sunk be-milted with each cable se:. parately, and the end taken through the eye,, and then hove taught in a lighter, and so on. There will then be three' hundred and sixty cables— tso for each weighing ship. Let ninety cables be taken into the ports on one side,•and 90 on the other, the off side, first.beginning forward or aft. There will then be two cables to each of the lower deck ports, which are fifteen of a side. The same number of cables to the ports of the middle deck, and . a like number for the ports on the main deck. The men requisite for fighting the 'guns of. each ship will be sufficient, though to be more equally divided. Let there be ninety- double seven inch double-headed stoppers on board of each ship, thirty on each deck, and nearly as long as the decks are wide ; also 90 very strong six-fold' tackles to each ship; thirty on each deck:. The cables on the opposite ports must each hare a tackle on them, and all the cables be bowsed taught together, after 'which the stopper must be applied, and the tackles fleeted.- When all is ready at low water spring tides, all the cables must be bowsed taught .at the same instant, the tackle falls t hitched after the stoppers made fast to the cables bear the strain. The rise of the tide will lift the ship sunk. There will then only be only a per pendicular strain on the lower sills of- the pits, and - a pressure on the sides of the ships, whose convexi-. lies are able to resist the girting of the. cables, which is not partial but general. When the ship sunk is raised, she must, With the weighing ships, be warped into shoaler water, until at the tap of high tvotet she again takrs the ground, The•slack of the cables, as t h e tide ebbs, bowsed in, and at low wafer again bowsed taught, the sunk ship weighed and warped into shoaler water, and so on until she is suffi-liently raised to be cleared of all her guns and stores, and then floated into dock. The above is published, because it. may eventu ally not only be useful to the King's service, en a smaller scale, but also benefit the merchants, should any of their ships unfortunately be sunk in situations where they may be raised, and this at the leastposii ble expence. * The cables being made of white yarns can be again made into good rope, and will reduce the expence chiefly to the price of labour. They will be the more ready, should any of the cables slack on the ship sunk being weighed, and can therefore at the moment be iaowsed JOHN HALL, E•q. of Woodford, has been ap pointed a M.igistrate for the County of Essex.
