MAtcSMN-HODSE.---Yesterday being the day ap pointed for the examination of this Gentleman, the curiosity created in the City exceeded all example. Long before nine o'clOck in the morning numbers of Gentlemen assembled before the Mansionlhouse, in anxious expeelation for the hour to arrive, when the gates should be opened. About half past nine O'clock the crowd became so great, that every person took his station as near as he possibly could to the outside gate. Here, for the space of an hour, the pressure was intolerable; and so vigorously did every man endeavour to retain his place, that it was absolutely impossible for the Officers, or the Gentlemen immediately concerned in the business, to gain, admission through this gate. They were, therefore, adMitted through the side doors, which, though also besieged, were not crowd ed to so great an extent as ,the great gate. About half past ten o'clock the Prisoner arrived in a hackney coach ; and shortly after, we under -stand, the. Loan MAYOR took his seat in his Of fice : the gates were then unlocked, and flew open `with the pressure ; the crowd rushed .in, and the outer hall of the Mansion-House was, in a few mo ments, filled with the people ; the steps were also full of Gentlemen, who pressed forward with so much violence that many persons were extremely happy to give over the contest, and make their way 'out of the crowd with whole bones. In this situa tion the greater part of the crowd remained for up-. wards of half an hour, being repeatedly informed that the door of the Justice Room would not be opened to the Public until the business was over. This, however, had not the effea of clearing the place; and, about eleven o'clock, by order ef,the LORD MAYOR, the dour of his Office was thrown open, and those who were nearest to it had the good fortune'to"gaiu adMittance. At this time the examination of Mr. ,Montefiori had nearly closed,/ Mr. MARRYAT'I,' as Counsel for the Prosecution, had, of course, concluded his statement but, we . understand, it was a,plain recital of fat% of the case; and, with respe& to the legal guilt, of the Prisoner, he insisted that it must either be a felony, a fraud at Common Law, or. a fraud, according to the Stagy tute of the 30th of the King. With respe& to the two former, the Learned Counsel seemed to ad mit, that the Prisoner never could be considered guilty of eithei ; but with resped to the latter, namely, a fraud according to the Statute of the 30th of the. King, he entertained a different opinion, and submitted that,' by virtue of this ; the Prisoner should be committed .tor trial. This Statute wpkes it a fraud to obtain money, ,goods, wares, or mer- . chandizes under false pretences and though this particular kind of Stock 'Could not be considered.as either money, goods, or wares, yet. he conceived that it should be - considered merchandize; and on this... constrn &ion he chiefly rested his case. Mr. Montefiori, the Stock-broker, was then sworn, • and went over the circumstances of the case, so far as they related to himself, ,He stated, that he had,. at the request of the Prisoner, pprchased 3 I,oooi. oMniuni for him, ...Defendant having informed him that Mr. Abraham GOldstnid, and another friend, would take a large part of it off his hands. For this 0 mnizoh, the Prisoner, on the 20th of Attgust, gave Mr. Montefiori his cheque on ins Bankers, Messrs. Payne, Smith, and Payne, far 16,8 1 - 61. 3s. telling him, • at the same time, that he believed he would be short of cash, and he could not, therefore, draty on/ his Banker fbr 17,0001. which was - the whole amount of the stock., This cheque. Montefiori paid into hi!S Ranker's. It was presented to Smith, Payne, and Smith, for paythenr; but they refused to pay it, alledging; that there was"not more than 2,5001, of the'Defendant's money in their hands. By this time the Prisoner had absconded and when Mr. Montefiori went in a day or two after to his lodgings, he found there, in a tin box, 30001. Oniniwii, of which he took, possession. On cross examination by Mr. GURNEY, as Coun sel for the Prisoner, Mr. Montefiori "admitted, that he had madean affidavit of debt against the Prisoner for 16,8161.35. Mr. Fuller was next examined by Mr., MAn.. RY ATT. He stated, that he had started twice: from London, in pursuit of *the Prisoner. The second time he went in company with Rivett, the Bow-street Officer, to the Isle of Man, for the purpose of iden tifying him. When he first saw Mr. Daniels, he did not mention that lie had any warrant to appre hend hiin ; but after some conversation with hit, he went to the Governor of the Island, and obtained his permission to take him into custody. On this authority he ordered Rivett to search Nina; and he foimd ott 'his person' 9561. in, Bank of England notes, all of which were advertised numbers, ek— copt about 181. in small notes. He pressed the Prisoner to disclose to him where the reniainder of the notes were; but he positively denied having any' others, and he gave his keys to Rivett that he might Search his trunks and dratklers; which he did, but found none. In the 'course of conversation, . the. PriSoner said, it was his wish to remain in the Isle of Man until he had 'settled. with his - creditors.— For this purpose he commissioned him, the Wit rieSs, to enter into a negotiation with them, and to adjust all ,matters. ' He was -aware, he said, he could not be taken out of the Island, as. he was under the proteaion of the Governor, who had pledged ,himself to . . that effea. i Mr. Daniels' had in his hands, at the tiine,.the Manx Statutes, whiCh he seemed to study with attention, and they not being very voluminous the Witness brought them over with him. The Prisoner . at length, after much persuasion, agreed to give - up the rest of the property in his possesSion,,i provided the 'Witness promissed'him that he should not .be taken befo're the Lord Mayor, or be Made a - public spectacle of. This the Witness promised ; and then Mr. Daniels took him up stairs to a bed-room, in which there was, a Lady. When they went into the'room the Lady Was about to retire into another room, but the Prisoner said to her, " you will please to walk down stairs, I wish to have the whole floor to myself ;" the Lady then went down, and Mr. Daniels, pointing to a corner CupbOard, said " the rest of the property is behind that." AYitness looked behind it, and saw some paper there, but not being able to get at it, he called Rivett, and he pulled down the cupboard ; they there found a parcel of Batik of England Notes, sealed . u p, i n all amounting to within a few hundred, pounds of 10,0001; the numbers 'of which corresponded with the numbers in the adkrtisc.ment. Full said, lie had heard 'the Przsofier say, that he was often very'uneasy at haviirg ti-ege notes in his;possessiOn; and once; on the sea-shore, he was debating with himself whether he should not throw them all into the water. On Cross-examination, Mr. GUR_NEY produced a paper to the Witness, which he acknowledged was his hand-writing. This paper was then read by Mr. GURNEY, and purported fo'be• an agreement'entered into by Mr. Fuller, on the part of the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, not to take the Prisoner before a Magistrate, or put hiM into confinement, provided he gztve up the property in his possession. Rivett • was then asked, if he could • add any , . thing to this statement? and ne answered' in the negative. Handcock, from the house of Smith, Payne, .and Smith, then deposed, that on the 29th .of - Att gust the Prisoner had not more than about 5001. in their hands. On the 20th, he paid in there about 70001. in divers drafts and bank-notes' There are two clerks, as the Witness sated, in this house, one for paying, and the other for receiVing, who sit op posite each. other. When the Prisoner had paid in drafts to the amount of 6,7681. h e i ns ta n tly went over to the other side of the room and drew a check, or presented one Which he had ready drawn, for 4,7101. payable to the .ast , India CoMpany. This was not a regular mode oC doing business, as the drafts to the amount of this sum being only that moment paid., in, he pact no right to draw on the_ house until after six" o'clock in the evening, when it would be known whether they were paid or not. When the Prisoner presented the check, Mr. Salmon, who wa s th e pay ing clerk, first inquired-whether Mr. Daniels had money enough in the house ? and finding that he had just paid it in in drafts, he hesitated a little, as it, was not usual for any Gentleman to a& in such a manner without first making application to one pf the part ners of the house, or to some of the confidential Clerks. At this moment, the Prisoner 'seeing it was doubtful wheth( r he should receive the money of not, : asked foe th Witness, and went ,up stairs, as if to cousult him on the subjel-in consequence of which, when he next presented himself to Mr. Sal mon, the money was handed over to hini and he took it away. • Mr. Sal Mon corroborated this statement, and when the .PriSoner asked fin-Mr. Handcock, and went up stairs, he was impressed with' the' belief that he went to speak to him on the subjea rand he there fore gave him the cash. , • The case on the' part of the prosecution being here closed, Mr. GURNEY, for tire Prisoner, rose to make .a few observations with respect to his cOnception pf the state in• which the matter stood. In doing this, he-cOnfessed he stood in ra ther an awkwaiel situation; as although the Prisoner' could not strictly be considered a. culp r it, still the statements which had appeared in the public news papers Were of a nature that made it' impossible for any than to'read theta without being prejudiced' against him. There was nothing, he confessed, - which so strongly induced him to believe that - are - Prisoner could not he Considered . a "ct:ilprit, a the statement of his Learned Friend:Of Wilose acuteness' and ability no person could ente•rtani the slightest; doubt. He, in' his opening, stetted,' that it•mnq either be a 'felony, a fraud 'at common law, or a' fraud according to the Statute , of the 3oth o f the King ; he appeared to be in doubt 'which it was; but nsinge, 'to hiM, the most uncommon ftr-: gument, he thought if it was not the first or the' second, it intist of 'courSe be the third. The pre sent case could net be consideredany thing- simil ar to the flurious case of . Major'SertipleT'tihrOiti hors:4 had seen hir'eci ned - Seld iiy the Prisotieoiid 'the property lagv,•T, was ,trineferred trc)rn the owner of . the . - horse; \'ho had only. Ahmed hitn tcl 'fieee(' the use. of it foe a limited' tirne: In the present instante r ' the stock was purchasedThr the Prisoner, end handed Over to him, he giving what waS considered a valuable consideration, and if, 'after he had got possessien of it in bilis way, .his pocket had - betjn picked of it, he could have indicted the offender for the 'offence. this account, 'it could not be considered - the property of Mr. Montelturi, or of any person Other than, the prisoner, and it Was monstrous to suppose that a mar. could be a Criminal for making use of his own, By , a solemn adjudication, it was:settled, that if a person borrowed 201. and gave a draft On a Banker for' the amount', which draft Was not paid, it was nut a larceny ; for if it was so considered; the consequence would' be, that if ever .it could be proved that any man borrowed 1001. without hav ing the. means of paying it; he could be - indiefed fir the offence. The Learned Counsel then adverted to the case of the King and I.ara, which* was .an in diarnent for fraud at Common Law, for obtaining' a nuaritity of Lottery Tickets under false pretences ; • but Lord Kenyon held it waS not a frand,'but there ly obtaining money under false pretences ; and cited the case of thew King - and Wheaoy, who Was tried before Lord Manstield'for a fraud, in delivering Only sixteen gallons of beer when he should have:hell- Vered . .eighteen. Lord' MANtsnEen , was 'here of 'opinion, that this waS not a fraud, but merely a non- - perfordiance of a cen'trael--- , -the Priconer not Ur itig' delivered a sniliciency. So, in :`theeprest‘iit Case, the Learned Counsel contended, this could not be tonsidered"'aefraud i but a non-perform mice/ of a crintraCr; the Prisoner not having de : liVered a Aufficiet#.' From this, h& - conceived, it was fully established, that Mt'. Daniels was not' guilty of a trand at Common Law.: The next thing to be considered was, whether he was guilty' of a fraud according to the Statute of the 30th of the King And 'with respeet to this, it mast he money, goods., wares, or merchandize. ' His Learned Friend allowed, that - Omnilim 'could' not' Be.' considered ei ther money; goods, 'or wares ; but heqhonght it might come under the denomination of - ttirchan dize : the 'Learned Counsel then argued for a con siderable time on this point ; in the course of which he contended, - that as Omnium was iv a chattel or a chose in aßion, it could not be considered Mer ehandiZe. From these consideratinns, he submitted that it was not larceny, as Mr. Montefiori bad trans ferred the property to the Prisoner; ,that it was not a fraud at COmmon Law by obtaining money under false pretences, because, giving a draft on a Hank, in which you had no money, was already adjudged not to be a fraud; and that, therefore, as the only point to be decided was, whether Omniuirt could be censi- dered merchandize, as wined in the Aet of the 30th of the. King; he conceivt-d' that It's Lordship .might, - with' the very able advice which he could have at any time, decide the matter in a summary way. Mr. CorisT, as COunsel for the Committee of We Stock I:::change, rose to speak in reply ; bin being . objected •to by • Mr. Gutomi-, :is not-employed for Mr. Montefiori, he sat down, after .shortly observ ing, that as the Prisoner was in custodvurider the Chief Justice's Warrant, it would be . the better way to take the opinion of the Recorder, as soon as con venient, On the construction of the Aa. , Mr. MARRVATT then shortly .replied, that he ,• had no objection to the method proposed, ntunel , .', taking the opinion of the Recorder; but he thought that his Learned Friend might: better have reserved his arguments tbr a ; motion in arrest-of judgment. With respect to - the paper Aigned• by Air. roller, he thought it nrcesiary to state, that this Gen tleman had nothing to •do with. Mr. Montefiori, nor 'were they before this known to each other. •Mr. Fuller had been sent., to the Isle. of Man by some of the Gentlemen the,: Stock Ex change; who were anxious to have the Prisoner ap prehended, as they wished to keep the, Stock bu siness as pure as possible.' It could not, however, be expeaed, that becati.r. Mr. Fuller was employed in.this way, andhad entered into this agreement, that Mr. Montefiori should be bound by it. The Learned Counsel then observed on some of the . points of the case, and said .it was quite clear that the Prisoncr intended to get the stock,,and to get, it without paying for it ; .so that he conceived, as: there were instances enough •of false pretences, it 7 would be an eternal disgrace to the law, if a man, who was so clearly-guilty of a fraud, ,was permitted by it to escape punishlnent, The -Loa . o MAYOR, after a • few minutes con sideration, said, he thought it was necessary for him atbnce to cline to a deciNion on thisbnsitie,s. .It was laid down, as an established maxim of the law . , that no persfai could, by fraud, obtain' the }Hisses- Sion of any property ;as the Obtaining it that ,way was, in fact, void from the beginning. In the present case, he was not able to determine, whether or• not it was a fraud according to the Statute ; but as it was evident that so Much -fraud-was pitti•tised in the transataion, •he thought it his duty --to'cbm mit the Defendant for trial at the-next Old Biller-- Sessions, .which would.'cominence in a short time, and then the - -Judges would determine' on the- na ,ttirtts of the- of ertce for which he stood Ili trial.' .Mr. GURNEY then, with, the consent of Lord . Montetiori,' whether, the had not a : few days, bet or e.th e 20th desired jinn to sell this stock for him.' he could do it without a loss? and was onsWeied in - t116, - allirinatie. • • • Guam:v. then s' ;:ante that fram this it wa.-zi sufficiently evident, that Mr.' Daniels Ci,i not . originally intend to afii-rwards'd;d. The .1..,0Rn 11.14 . v0tt said, ,he should rather con sider it as ,a proof of a dee..p 7 laid sphi:iie; for t; c; 'purpose of throWing-,Mr;'Montefiori entirely . off his , guard. , :L • . . . After some private convergation between the Conn - seJ, it was then agreed th:it the Prisoner should he, rernanded..tintil to-tnorro*W„ o'clock, and - 11 w it brotag - lit np for the parpOse oflOviwg thc'dppoitions• read over before him. • • • Air. aniels was dressed in black, and-stood at the. har with his right hand in, the hresst : of his coat dur ing the whole. of- the. p\amination : his eyes were' . fixed to . the ground,:andivrountenanee was unal tered—nordid be, that we could .wreeive, 'change his-position, except_once ,that he stooped, to speak to Mr. GURN EY.

He did not appear to take what was said amiss, till he:came to the brpork, which runs near his father's house, when he threatened to th row °lse over the wall into the brook. Ramsdell then has tily stepped within his father's yard, stripped off his neck•handkerchief, ran into the lane, and inquired for the person-who -had offended him. Ramsden struck Ellis a violent blow on the right side tirthe head, when he - immediately fell down, apparently lifeless. As two of the party were raising him up, Ramsdell came up to them, and said, " if yon do not take him away., direEtly, have, done one, and I will do another:" instantly after the blow was given, Ramsden's holier stripped off his jacket, palled a knife, out of his pocket, came up to one of the party,, and threatened hitn ; hut neither he nor Lis: son offered to give the least as:iistatsce to Ellis, who was, carried to a house.at:a srpali distance ; he was. removed the folio:4111g- day to Ossett, and on Monday he expired..
