displayed we fancy Milu himself might have lost a heat with

gates of Gass. Weightman, who won the second prize, is 22
years of age, and elands 6 fret Iwo inches—he is an absolute
ivy, the best twister we ever saw, sad although hr weighs Isi

Mrs. Innis said she was positive the fetony had been coot.
milled either at the ionisation of persons who would make
'a profit of the notes by means of forgery, or of enemies
who sought to injure her with her employers.
The Prisoner declared that lie bad printed off the perste
according to the directions he had received ; that be had
done so without reckoning them, and as to the difference
in the paper he had not observed it, or if be hail, be thought
it not worthy of notice.
Mrs. Innis stated, that she bed written to the Bankers,
expressing her surprise at their having sr tit her paper
not water-marked, supposing the mistake had originated
with them, and th it it would be impossible fur soy man in
her employineut to commit a deliberate act from which such
misfortunes might aiiie. But she had, notwithstanding her
confiJetiee tau Ibis point, thought the conduct of the Pri-
soner very remarkable throughout ; for he had not only,
complaiiwil of a defiClelley, and worked upon common paper,
lied he had remained at work a much lunge, time than
was necessary, as though be was in the habit of deviating to
jobs of the same sort. The Bankers sent bark an answer,
stating tharell.y had *eve► sent her such paper as she com-
plained of hairier received, mid desired her to send them all
the plain pais., that bad been worked upon, that it might be
destrovest.
The Lord Mr.yor ordered that the Prisoner should be sent
back to the Compter, and kept apart from his acquaintaners.

Yesterday William Sheen was brought before Sir Richard
Birme, the sitting Magi-Irate, charged with stealing a qicin.
iity of iron bars, and other property of similar description,
helomeing to Messrs. Mims and Edrige, of St. Martin's-
lane, cuaelimakers.
It appeared that for a long time past Messrs. Adams and
Edrige have roust:hotly been rubbed of property to a consi-
derable extent; every endeavour bad hero mud to detect the
offenders, but without success. A circumstance which trans.
pired by accident caused suspicion to fall too the Prisoner,
and a warrant was procured to search his lodgings in U -
court, Orchard-street, %Vestrniessier, and on the sseention of
which several articles were fOllllll sod identified as being the
p►ope.ty of M . Adams and &big.; al the same time a
great quantity of marine and military stores war found.
The Ptisoner was fully committed.
