THE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS PROM' THE D LY MORNING PAPERS, .august 182(2. • [MORNING POST.] The triumph obtained by the skill and heroism of the Greeks over the Turkish fleet, and crown rd by the destruction: of their arch-enemy, the Capitan Pacha, has at last received the official confirmation of the Austrian Observer, the great friend of Turks and infidels, and the general ca- Inrnniator of Greeks and Christians. As it might he .expected from - such a Journal, the account which it publishes diminishes as much as possible the success of the conquerors, but even if it did not extend beyond what is stated in a letter, it - would still be a most brilliant enterprise, likely to be attended with most beneficial results to the cause of Greece, of independence, and of ion. [BRITISIt PR E”.] The Paris Papers to the 31st last have arrived. The Proclamation of the King of Spain, dispens ing with the services of the national militia, ap pears to have at first excited some discontent in that body, which upon explanation soon subsided. 'Morino took an active part in its suppression, And hence arose the false report of his defection, and of the overthrow of the constitutional party. The King,in a Decree respecting the disturbances in Catalonia, has announced his intention to con vene the Extraordinary tortes without delay. 'We find in the Madrid Papers to the 19th last, that' some damger was apprehended' in that city on the 15th. The precise nature of it was yet known, but its existence was inferred from the extraordinary precautions adopted by Govern men t.—(ibid.)- FNEW TIMES.] 'No intelligence has reached ❑s from' Spain of a more recent date- than that which is contained in the Paris Journals of Monday.—The Madrid Papers,. which have been received to the 18th inst. inclusive, add no facts of striking import ance to those already communicated ; but, like ali accounts from the same quarter for some time past,they suggest a frightful picture of the present, and justify the mast serious apprehensions of the fhture. Even in .the Universal, a Paper blindly devoted to the service of the Constitutionalists, not only is there no contradiction of preceding statements, but from all parts of the kingdom there are further details of the movements of the Royalists, whose successes are admitted in a majority of instances throughout these advices, which occupy the greater portion of the three last . numbers of the paper. All who can properly es timate the illiberality of liberalism will duly ap preciate the value of such admissions, by Jour- Bals under the worst of all restraints—the law :less sway of a triumphant faction. If we may rely on a private letter, even the " hammer" of the populace is not considered a sufficient check :Upon the Journalists: Some more immediate in :lluence is supposed to be requisite ; and, there late, the paper we have just spoken of has been "placed under what may- be styled a Military -Censorship, and.military officers sanction or re 'led, articles intended for insertion.—How far the sword may be. the best weapon to prevent or - punish the abuses of the press, we leave to the admirers of revolution to decide. [THE TIMES.] Letters fl'om some of the unhappy Sciotes who have had fathers, sons, and brothers massacred, .wives and children dragged away to 'pollution, and their beautiful country wasted and destroyed, pour, in upon us with most affecting appeals to British justice and humanity, against the system of deliberate falsehood which is carried on by a portion of the press of this metropolis, in every narrative thrown into circulation concerning the affairs of Greece. It is melancholy to find English writers thus ranging themselves on the side of despotism, as if the welfare of Britain, or • the . real policy of this Government, could, under ,anytircumstances, have a common interest with it. But the system is of extensive application. • Daring the.swar between Spain and her colonies, 'the latter were slandered and undervalued, as the Greeks . are now. It was the same in Italy, when the German foreigners overran it : the same in Spain, when the cause of the In quisition and of secret torture was , preferred to that of constitutional liberty. So is it in Greece, where Turkish infidels and tyrants are taken into favour against a suffering race of men, to whom, according to the received Court doctrine, Christianity itself affords no redemption from the sin of endeavouring to be free- This, we say, is melancholy ; but it has ceased to be dangerous— for freedom spreads on every side ; and, whether east or west, is hourly making , new accessions. The destruction of the Capitan Pacha, the de stroyer of Scio, is confirmed by the unsuspicious testimony of the Austrian Observer; the Greeks, by a display of incomparable skill and courage, having blown up the ship of that Officer, and set on fire many superior vessels. This action, if it be of the magnitude asserted, gives Greece, for the present campaign at least, the command of the seas of maritime warfare in the Archipelago, and the power of cutting off the- supplies from many important garrisons of the Turks. The overthrow of the Highgate Chapel Bill is creditable to the spirit and steadiness by which it Ai a s accomplished, and useful as an example to - the people of this country of the means through which they.irnay best ensure the maintenance of any- right when assaulted or violently threatened. It .does not appear that the- Alember for Middle sex. withdrew his aid from the Bill, as at first re ported nor would it have been altogether-in nharacter for. Mr. Byng, that, acting implicitly on the instructions transmitted to him; as is, we have ' heard,- his profesSed habit; he should have one day, tukep . for hiS guides those of his constituents. who were Aupporters, and another day the opponents of the rnpa i snre. 'this: would: have beep what Junius Calls " impartial. treachery" to both. The jobs, - hitants of,. Highgate met at the Gate Housd op Wednesday last,,and: passed unanimously a series of resolutions, not merely expressive of tlieir sa tisfaction at this triumph, but declaratory of their purpose to carry on the proceedings in Chancery against the trustees, and recommend ing to other districts a similar vindication of the interests of charity, and of the rights and prin ciples of law.—(lbid.) [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The events of the last two years are pregnant with instruction to the 'politician. They have left no doubt with respect to the existence or the object of the confederacy of Sovereigns which arose out of the battle of Waterloo. They spew that the Kings and privileged classes of Europe are leagued together to put down all attempts at political regeneration in whatever country they may he made. Naples, Piedmont, and Spain, have by turns been the object of their hostility. The two former were overpowered ; the latter has, hitherto, been more successful. No means, however, have been left untried to reduce Spain to the state of thraldom in which Italy now lan guishes. The Spanish Liberals must be by this time satisfied that they have committed an un pardonable offence in the eyes of the European Sovereigns—that no condescension on their part can extinguish in these Sovereigns their hostili ty to the new order of things,—and that no thing but sheer inability will prevent them from aiding their brother Ferdinand again to trample on the Constitution of his country. Now that Freedom has gained her battle of Waterloo, and that the paralysation of the Servile party has left the Liberals at liberty to act, it is incum bent on them to turn that liberty to the best account. What then is the policy which they are called on to embrace ? Let them take a lesson from their adversaries. Why should they remain passive while these adversaries , nut content with fomenting disturbances in the different provinces of Spain, and more particularly those of the North, actually supply the insurgents with money and arms, assemble large armies on the frontiers, for the disaffected to retreat on in case of reverses, and for invasion, should the opportunity prove favour able ?- The elements of discontent abound in France, and still more in Italy, and it would require no great exertion on their part to find their enemies a sufficiency of employment at home. If they wish to gratify the Sovereign con spirators, they will of course confine themselves to the defensive. The most unskilful swords man, however, may ultimately get the bet ter of an accomplished fencer, who never avails himself of his advantages. Naples af fords an example of the folly of attempt ing to conciliate the Holy Alliance, and rely ing on its justice. The Neapolitans might easily have united all Italy in the same glorious cause, and have thus opposed a mass to the armies of Austria, which they would haie had'difficulty in overpowering.—But they supposed that by re- 1 jecting all overtures from their Brethren, and strictly confining themselves to their own sepa rate affairs, the Alliance would not dare to in terfere with them.—This delusion unfortunately lasted till the enemy was at their very gates. On Tuesday last the Lord Bishop of Lovnos completed his Visitation through his Diocese—a laborious work of three weeks. He consecrated a new Church at Harwich, and confirmed several thousand young persons, in part of which he was assisted by the Lord Bishop of Bristol. His Lord ship was received with the greatest respect by the Corporations and Gentry of the several places where he stopped, arid was hospitably entertained in them all. During the course of his journey he de livered his charge 17 times, with - great solemnity and impression ; and his earnest sincerity fre quently affected-both himself and his Clergy, who listened to him every where with marked attention. We do not offer extracts from it, be cause we would not anticipate its publication. It was highly gratifying to every religious and well- disposed wind to witness the sanctity of manner and amiable disposition which dignified and ren dered estimable his Lordship's general deport ment in these more prominent duties of his pas- toral office. CAUTION TO CHIEF CONSTABLES.—OH the Chief Constables attending at the Assizes at Lincoln 'on Monday to make oath that no thing presentable had come to their know ledge, it was suggested to his Lordship by the Clerk of Assize that in this and some neighbouring Counties the Chief Constables were. in the habit of attending, but that they considered the being called on for present ments was a mere mailer of form. Mr. Justice HomtoyD thereupon addressed the Chief Consta bles, and told them that they were not to rest sa tisfied with swearing that nothing presentable had come to their knowledge, but it was their duty to make diligent inquiry, and ascertain W•hether there was any tting to be presented : if they neglected to do this, they were liable to be in dicted for a gross neglect of duty. His Lordship did not mean to insinuate that there had been any neglect on their parts, but it might be useful to remind them that they were hound by their oaths of office to make full investigation. COMBINATION AMONG THE COALHEAVERS.— Yesterday, in consequence of information given by Messrs. Soulsby, Holmes, and Evans, coal merchants, lighterrnen, and wharfingers, of Mil ford-lane, Strand, to the Police Magistrates at Hatton.garden, that all the coalheavers, to the amount of 600, on each side of the river, struck for an increase of wages (at present on an aver age each man could earn near 3/. a week), and would not permit other men to work, in. and Ed. Read were sent to protect the men em ployed, mostly Irish, labourers ; each labourer was paid ss. in the evening, for working from eight in the morning to five in the evening. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.-Tuesday night an Inquest was taken at the Grove Morris, White chapel-road„ before Mr; UNwIN, the Coroner, on view of the body of Henry Godliff Hevades,. aged 14, who, was accidentally killed in the Mile-end-road ) by one".of the Woodford stage coaches. .. The deceased was : the. only son and chief support'of a poor Widow, residing in iliose mary-lane.—Verdict Accidental Death.—Peo dand ss, DREADFUL ACCIDENT. TRIAL ASCENT AT CHELTENHAM. In our last we inserted a letter from Chelten ham, giving an account of Mr. GREEN'S ascent, and mentioning that some miscreant had contriv ed to cut one of the ropes which attached the car to the balloon. The consequence of this rope being cut was, that an arch was formed in the net work, which, from the unequal pressure, conti nued to give way several times during the flight. We regret to have to add the following particu lars from the Cheltenham Chronicle of Wednes day : " Within a little mote than a mile and a half of Salperton, they determined to descend—the car being at that time only upheld by one side of the balloon ; their grappling-iron came in con tact with a wall, into which it was fastened by some country-people near the spot, but it was speedily torn away, and they were dragged for the distance of four fields, knocked from hedge to hedge, till at length the balloon carrying them over a large grove up into the air, the car got entangled in a tree, and the inhuman means taken for their destruction, proved, under the goodness and mercy of Heaven, the cause of their preservation ; the ropes which had been partly cut, gave way.—Freed from all controul, the balloon ascended, and they were flung in Nut grove-field, from a tremendous height to the ground. Mr. Green, insensible and nearly life less, and with his companion, lay for some time apparently senseless. The latter had three times been thrown from the car and was safe, though much bruised ; but fearing that should Mr. G reen ascend alone, his destruction must be certain, he sprang back to his seat, which he retained till they were precipitated to the earth. Mr. Day, of the King's Head, Northleach, accompanied by his son, had most fortunately ridden over to wit ness the descent, and as soon as the poor suffer ers were capable of motion, he most humanely placed them on his horses, and accompanied them to the house of Mr. J. Stone, at Turk- Dean, two miles from Northleach, where they were received with most cordial and right English hospitality ; beds were immediately prepared for them, and they were promptly let blood by Mr. Lamley, surgeon, from Northleach, who had also crossed the country to watch the progress of the balloon. Mr. Murley, of this town, speedily hastened to Turk Dean, accompanied by Mr. Beavan, and did every thing that humanity and skill could effect. We should be not merely ungrateful, but culpable in the extreme, did we omit to notice the humane and considerate attention of John Brown, Esq. of Salperton, who, is the kindest manner, offered the use of his carriage, and of every thing his house could yield, to administer to their comfort. The most anxious solicitude was likewise mani fested by the Right lion. Lord Sherborne ; but it is impossible at the moment to express the feel ings of sincere and lasting gratitude with which we reflect upon the general sympathy that per vaded the entire country. At an early hour on Wednesday morning the following bulletin was issued, and during the day the public anxiety was allayed by regular communications of the state of the invalids : " Turk Dean, July 31, 1322—0ne o' Clock, A. M. " We have examined Mr. Green, and the Gentleman who ascended with him, in consequence of their accident from the descent of the balloon, and find them both very seriously in jured ; Mr. Green has a severe contusion on the left side of the chest, but unattended with fracture of the ribs. The other Gentleman has received a severe injury of the spine, but un attended with paralysi;of the limbs. " CHARLES LAM LEY, Surgeon, Northleach. " S. H. MURLEY, Surgeon, Cheltenham." " A subscription is about to be opened in our town, we are confident with great liberality, to recompence, as far as money can recompence, Mr. Green, for the great injury he must sustain, in the loss of his balloon, which we are assured cost him nearly 5001."

The combatants started at six o'clock, from the Old Swartstairs, London-bridge, to, row up the River, 'against tide, so the Swan at Battersea.—This was one of the best contested:matches we have witnessed for a series of yesrs. The greatest skill was displayed above Waterloo-bridge where the Greenwich man took the lead, and kept it till he had passed Hunger tbrd ; he then ran foul of some boats, which gave the boat on his stern the advantage—this was the Wandsworth man, who shot through Westminster Bridge. The third boat was the man from Lambeth. In this order they proceeded to Chelsea reach, when Noulton (the Lambeth man), by an uncommon stroke, became second boat ; and by one of those- lucky occur rences which often happen, he won the prize—the second man getting entangled in a cluster of boats. The day being fine, the, river was covered with pleasure-boats. The Funny Club displayed several elegant new cutters. Among the yacht were those belonging to many men of fashion. From below bridge there were several built in Sir Robert Wigram's yard. The wherries were innumerable. The banks of the river and the bridges were lined with well-dressed spectators.—The match was decided a few minutes after seven. LAW.—In Easter Term last it was determined by the Court of King's Bench, that 64 a Sheriff has no right, under a ji fa., to seize fixtures, where the house in which they are situated is the freehold of the person against whom the execu tion issues." It has also lately been determined by the same Court, that where the master of a workhouse, appointed by, and receiving orders from, the guardian of the poor,•bought provisions from one of such guardians, such , guardian was liable to a penalty of 1001., imposed by 55 Geo. c. 137 7 sec. G. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. DREADFUL ACCIDENT. GUILDHALL.—On Wednesday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, as a carpenter, of the nanie of Bilborough, residing in Huish's court, Water-lane, was crossing Ludgate-hill, he was knocked down by the pole of a hackney-chariot, the wheels of which passed over his body. The coachman, who was evidently drunk, appeared to take no notice whatever of the accident, but continued to drive on furiously down the hill. He was, how ever, however, stopped by a gentleman on horseback, and given in custody to Snow, the beadle of St. Martin's, Ludgate. The unfortunate sulkier, who appeared dangerously hurt, was recognized by some of the neighbours, and conveyed, covered with blood, to his house ; and the driver, who gave his name George Ewings, was brought up yesterday at this office, before Mr. Alderman Cox, the sitting Magistrate, to answer for his conduct.—Mr. Hayes, a stockbroker in Throgotorton-street, stated that he was coming down Ludgate-hill with a friend, when he saw the prisoner driving his chariot down the hill.— He was so drunk as to be scarcely able to sit upon his box, which occasioned him (Mr. Hayes) to observe that he feared some accident would occur ; and he had no sooner made the observation, than he saw a man knocked down, and the cha riot pass over him. He and his friend immediately ran to the spot, and assisted in raising the man up. He appeared much hurt, and one of his hands was dreadfully lacerated. He was, however, able to state where he lived, and, by the assistance of some passengers, was conveyed home. He applied to Mr. Box, the surgeon on Ludgate-hill, and succeeded in procuring his attendance.—A. certificate was read from Mr. Box, which stated that the unfortunate man was considerably injured, so that his life could not be pronounced to be out of danger. it was also understood that one of his hands were so much injured that it would probably be necessary to amputate it.—The pri soner seemed fully sensible of his situation, and expressed his sorrow and contrition for the accident, but had nothing to offer in extenuation of his conduct, aild was remanded for further ex amination until the fate of the unfortunate sufferer should be ascertained. THE CASE OF FORGERY.—THE KING V. BROOKES. BOW-ST REE T.—This novel and important case came on for a second hearing yesterday, before Sir RICHARD BIRNIE and THOMAS HALLS, Esq., and judging from the great crowd of respectable.looking persons in the office, the matter appeared to have excited an uncommon degree of interest.— The office was nearly filled before the Magistrates had taken their seats. Brookes, the prisoner, was brought in in the custody of Cornick, the gaoler, and placed at the bar. Mr. ALLEY At tended for the prosecution, and Mr. HONE appeared on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. ALLEY, addressing the Magistrates, said he understood that it was supposed some legal difficulties, not easily to be sur mounted, would arise in the present case, but in his opinion there would be none, and he would explain the grounds upon which he had formed that opinion, and which he thought would be unanswerable. It was stated in one part of the evidence, that the prisoner, when before Mr. Justice Best at Chambers, declared he had been advised to destroy the check, and that he had destroyed .it. If he really had received such advice, he (Mr. Alley) would only say, what he understood was said by that Learned Judge at the time, that he had not received ho nourable advice ; and he must observe that he thought no Gen tleman at the Bar could have advised any man to destroy that which was necessary for the ends of justice ' even though it were to save his client's neck. But that very declaration on the part of the prisoner had supplied a piece of evidence without which (as he should by and by show) the case could not stand. The crime of which he had to accuse the prisoner was, not the forg ing of a check, but a receipt, acquittance, or discharge for money. It had been (he understood) objected that the forged receipt not being written on a stamp, it could not be made the subject of a-criminal prosecution ; but in a case which occurred 20 years ago, and which he had the honour of arguing before the Judges, it was held that the stamp duties, being part of the revenue laws, could have no reference to a criminal prosecu tion ; and that although a man writifig a receipt upon unstamped paper was liable to be sued for a penalty under the Stamp Act, he was not at all the less liable to be prosecuted for forgery, if he should forge the name of any person in such receipt with a fraudulent intent. The next and the main question was, whe ther in the absence of the document itself which was said to be forged, a copy of it, properly authenticated, could be received in evidence so as to fix the crime. He maintained that it could. In 1809, in the celebrated case " the King v. Scott," tried be fore Lord Ellenborough, at the Old Bailey, it appeared that the defendant had uttered a bill, alleged to be forged, to a tradesman in the Strand, in payment of some goods. The uncle of the prisoner went to the tradesman, and under the pretence that he also had been defrauded by a similar trick, got posses sion of the bill, and destroyed it by putting it in the fire. The prisoner, however, was committed, and on his trial the Learned Lord on the Bench held, that even in a prosecution for forgery the destruction of the instrument vas no bar to the pro ceeding ; for he recollected a case before Justice Buller, in . which a man . accused of forging a Bank Note - had swallowed it, and that Learned Judge held that he might be convicted notwithstanding the nonproduction of the note.— The case went to the Jury, who acquitted the prisoner, but it was because the fraudulent intent was not. made out to their satisfaction. The doctrine held in that case by Mr. Justice Buller was approved by the whole profession. But (the Learned Lord continued) before parole evidence could be received, it must be proved that the original document had been destroyed, and that, too, with the privity of the accused. Before, there fore, the .Jury could convict in the case then before them (the King v. Scott), they must be satisfied that the instrument was destroyed by the uncle by desire or with the privity of the pri soner, because the latter might say that it was no forgery, and that if it was produced he could prove it to be a genuine instru ment ; and the destruction of it might be the act of the uncle without the consent of any other person. It was absolutely ne cessary that the destruction of the original document should be traced to the instrumentality of the accused before secondary evidence could be received. Scott was acquitted. In the pre sent case, however, (Mr. Alley proceeded,) they had the de claration of the accused himself, that he had destroyed the ori ginal document ; and if that declaration was false, he had chosen to make it, and he must abide the consequences. That declaration was already in evidence, and he would now produce the copy of the document in question, written by Turner, clerk to Mr, Isaacson, the attorney for the defendant, and he should call Mr. Turner to examine this copy, and say whether it was his writing or not. He would, however, warn Mr. Turner, who, on the first examination, said he did not know whether the copy was his hand-writing or not, that persons were present who would prove it was, and ha had better avoid a prosecution for perjury. James Turner was then called for, but did not answer ; and to a message sent to Mr. Isaacson's office, it was answered that he had-been out all day. Mr. Isaacson was then examined, and having been called upon to describe the original document, he looked at the copy furnished by order of Mr. Justice Best, and declared it to be Turner's hand-writing. This copy was read before. the Judge, and he did not recollect that l3rookes denied that it was a true copy of the original document. He had no recollection of Brookes having acknowledged that it was so. Cross-examined.—Witness did not know whether it was a true copy or not. Mr. HILL, the attorney for the prosecution, was called, and said the copy produced was left at his office in the usual way of business, two, days after the order of the Judge. Brookes did acknowledge before Mr. Justice Best at the second hearing that it was a true copy, in answer to a question from the Learned Judge himself. This Brookes firmly denied, and Sir R. BIRNIE said he must do the prisoner the justice to observe that he had from the first denied having said that he had destroyed the original document. Mr. ALLEY-21'1mi we must subpoena the Learned Judge to prove that he .did say so. Mr. Isaacson said he had no recollection of any such state ' ment by Brookes. Mr. tI ONE, for the prisoner, said, that in a case of so much importance to the prisoner, and to the public, he was sure the Magistrates would not act precipitately ; and as it was a novel question, and there was such a paucity of cases in favour of Mr. Alley's proposition to be found in the books, he had Rio doubt they would give time for a more 'attentive search, and more mature deliberation, befOre they sent the case to a Jury. He prayed for a re-examination on a future day, when (having only got his instructions that morning) he should be fully pre pared to combat the arguments of his Learned Friend. Sir R. BIRNIE said, he regarded the case as one of vast im portance, and both he and his Worthy Colleague would be willing to give ample time to the Learned Advocate for the pri soner.' He remembered the case of the King v. Scott well, and there was this striking difference between that and the present —that in that case there was no authenticated copy of the ori ginal instrument : here there was. Mr. ALLEY said, it was extremely fit the public should know that the destruction of a forged document would not pre vent a prosecution. Mr. HONE said it was also proper they should know that the question had never yet been properly decided whether it was or not. All that had been urged was mere dictunz. After some conversation as to the time the prisoner should be committed for, he was ordered to be sent back to the House of Correction for a fortnight. CHARGE, OF BURGLARY.—Yesterday Robert Hartley, ivith about seven or eight aliq,ses, and though apparently only about 22 or 23 years of age, one of the most desperate characters m that his beeat the office for some time past, having, confessed that he has committed 80 burglaries within the last two years,' was charged before Sir RICITARD BIRNIE, with having brok e ; open the house of Count Byl an d, on Bl ac kh ea th, on Fr t% se'nnight ; when h e pro ve d hi mse lf suc h . a completef in housebreaking that he was a considerable time 1 ",,A Count's bed-room, and stole a ll th e dot`les that the Count 70, worn the day before, and a grea t var i ety o f articles dituit perty ; he remained in th e ho use rega li ng hi mse lf w ith 3 ""d pie, and spirits and water, and no do u bt wou ld h a ve contio ie e there much longer, but one of the family being awoke by tjie noise which it is supposed he heard, induced him to leave the house.—When the parties were about to be bound over, Count wished to decline prosecuting, but Sir RICHARD 13 1 ° IE insisted on binding him over. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Darin Wm. Reeding was re-examined on the charge of entering house of Mr. Westwood, jeweller, of Princes-street, SQ llc ),,, It further appeared, that on the prisoner being apprehendedeipi Gook on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery, °ll l s to taken to the watchhouse he was observed to have some s" a k.. his watch-chain, which were afterwards missed; and on In_ ver ing inquiry what had become of them, the prisoner denied ; ' having any. On searching him six sovereigns were fburitt be him, and two of them were proved by Mr. Westwood, totbe part of those he had deposited in his till on the night o f . robbery, and which were stolen, which, together with the P,„ soner having been seen about the house on the night of the robbery, confirms the suspicion that he was concerned in robbery.—He was remanded. John Sexton, well known to i officers, was also charged on suspicion of being concerned the affair, and was also remanded. —Yestertitie HATTON-GARDEN.— Cruelty to A n i ma l s.— Y ester day Joh ° Anted, a cow-keeper, residing in Cromer -street, Branl n d. square, was charged by M r .
