the whom, who gave her address at No. 32, Bt. George's-
road, had first offered a florin In payment of some trifling
articles purchased at the *hop of a draper in High street,
Camberwell, but its boomer was discovered, and it was bent
nearly In two, and she was allowed to go about her business.
Boon after she succeeded in peseleg another dorm in pay-
ment for a few @tapers*, but fortunately the poor woman
whom ehe attempted to defraukdiegovered that the florin
wee counterfeit; and the poisoner was apprehended.
The ease was clearly proved, and the prisoner was fully
committed for trial.
