Mr. Thompson deferded.
Mr. 11-dkin, la stating the ewe, said that although one of grave line
penance, the mete lay IP a very narrow compass. Somewhere about
the 12th of April the men at the tar e.lled upon an engraver named
Austin, living in Battler...buildings, and ptodueing a blank copper-
plate, whiled to know if the engrave could easeute the fat ries de of •
note which they produced. Ile state d that he could, and named his
prle. They then went away and did not return, but open the

living In likOl-wreet, Lambeth. and producing • black plate and •
note ached him if be could copy it. The name of the anther of the

which being overruled the jury found the prisoners
Muller was entenced to euurteen years transport.ition, and Foster
to four years penal ervitude.
During the progress of this trial the Recorder made a coniptaint of
the oyes sive elate of the atmosphere upon the bench, and was an-
swered by a Jury man, who said that they were then sitting in a cold
draught that was qui e dargercus.
