The Au thor should shorten the Philippicagainst avarice in the last scene, as it is by no means an exculpation of Ferret, and as it unnecessarily retards the con tlusi°n o f the Piece.

HAM, the Sitting Magistrate, in the custody of Ri vett, the Officer, charged with personating Ball, a London Tide-waiter, of Primrose-street, and becoming bail in his name, in an adion depending in the Court of King's Bench, between Geo. Rew, Plaintiff, and Alexander Bissett, Defendant. It appeared, that for - some time past, persons of infa mous Charader have made it a pradice to become bail in ci v and frequently in criminal proceedings, by assuming persons' names of the greatest respetta.; bility and among them was . -the Prosecutor„ who the Prisoner had personated in the above adion.— In consequence of which, the Defendant, Alexan der Bissett, not , appearing or satisfying the Plain tiff, in due course of law, on the 24thof December last, an execution' was put into the house of the Pro secutor fur debt and costs, amounting to upwards of 901. althOugh the Prosecutor was ignorant of the whole of the transadion ; but which plea the, She.. riff's Officers would not listen to, aod i dlis goods were seized, and taken away by a Broker. On a striil and persevering inquiry, the Prisoner was discovered to be the man, who had assumed the Prosecutor's name ; likewise several of his asso ciates were discovered. It likewise appeared, that the. Prisoner had assumed other persons' names in be. coining bail in the Court of Comm , an Pleas in civil actions, and at Middiesex and Westminster Sessions, in criminal prosecutions. Edward Stoil was, charged, with b:•ing concerned in the iransatains with the Prisoner. They were committed for further examination. 1
