upon by lizan and Baker, who preeented nte with three of tbe same
banker's bills, and wanted more goods ; two bills I burnt, and one

By the Couttv—l believe the finn was soon broken np, and
that 'ripper was tried In Justice Hall, Old Bailey, and the other
two at Exeter, and convicted, none of whom are now to be found,
though the san:e hills are in circulation.
Croari.emunined by Mr. II EAT tt, fur the Insolvent. —I believe the
bills became due in May or June.
Here the Counsel produced a paper, containing a speciikation
foe a number of these same bills, toe various amounts • payable
to with the price of stamps set against them, total

amount COOL
The witness admitted the writing " Per order" was in his coin
hand, but that the figuros set against them were a forgery ; that the
bilk were to conic to him, and he was to deliver goods for them,
or, tlioir being approved of; that one or the three mentioned bilk he
gave to a man named Broadster, to make inquiry about it, but ne
wail not to present it for payment.
Upon close questioning, the witness admitted ha was to present
it for payment.
a man named Taylor upon these
Witness continued—l opposed
fictitious bills; and he was remanded eighteen months.
Mr. Po LLOCK addressed the l'ourt. 'There was not the slightest
pretence for making Mart a creditor for 5001: it was a species of
fraud. That the bills were ate to fur 3lr. II art's accommodation,
is a gross falsehood. Tire insolvent was the agent, the negociatom
the vender of these fraudulent bills, and engaged in sending them
into circulation, without the least probable expectation of ever
bAng ableatiop,
to pay a farthing. He (Mr. Pollock) would not say
inure but leave it to the Court.
Mr. h EAT ti replied in an ingenious speech.
The Court considered both insolvent and creditor engaged in one
teak, and that upon Hart's opposition it would act improperly in
retnanding the insolvent, but earnestly wished some <Wm aeditor
had opposed. l'inier the present circumstances, the whole appeared
concerned in a ruinous affair : however, thc oposition must fail,
and the insolvent be entitidd to the benefit of the Act.
