fisund for the Plaintiff, it 'timid only be with no-
nuaal damages, as.they were to consider what pro-
bability obese was' of the Plaintiff's receiving his
debts, WI ib reality, Mrs. Manners, who was now in
*the rules of the Beach, had been arrested. In sup.
port oir this. die Learned Serjrant cited the case of
folinson, the smuggler, who had escaped out of the
Fleet. Sev.:ral actions .sere. lie said, brought
against &h.: Warden of the Fl. et fur the debts due
by Mt. Johnson, hut in none of them was there
more than nominal damages given, AS it was cocci-
dered by the Jury tura the debtor was insolvent,
and never could have paid his creditors. After
some further oisservirions with respeCl to the con-
tradittion in the counts of the declaration, the
Learned Serjeant concluded by saying, that if he
had not a verdiCl, at all events., the damages ought
not is be more than a shilling.
Sir ALAS CNA SI AKE read Beer the evidonce, ark,'
observed. that in both tin- counts the verdid could
not be for the Plaintiff, as there was a manifest eon-
tradiaion in them; but left it entirely to the Jury
to consider on which they would find for the Plaint-
iff. His Lordship concluded by saying, that if
Mrs. Manners had' been taken in rtecuti• in, these

as she had only been arrested on mrtne proc.ss, in

The etatnination of Ales. Inner. alias Beeka, alias
reaugt; alias Hone.osvJal, Sec. took place 'yisterday.
Ihe 01E,:rs was even more crowded than no arty
former day. The examination was confined to a
charge of tuagery on ilseGraresend Bark.
Mr., Fisher, who attended to give evidence. on
that subjea, stated, that the Prisoner accosted him
in a famiiiar, manner, in the banking-house, on the
12th of October. Mr. F knew something of the
person of the Pri,oner ; but he could not challenge
his memory whets.
The Prisoner said, he merely called to deliver the
compliments of Mr. Stevens, steward to Lord Darn-
ley, at Cobham Park, but he had received from
thence a letter of credit, sent by his guardian,
Mr. Payler, a hanker at Canterbury. This letter
was couched in a familiar stile ; and it was sup-
posed that the boy was almost out of cash.
—Mr. F. of course, was net aware of any decep-
tion, and he satifered the Nis iner to draw a bill of
exchange of Sal. upon the Banking-house of Sim-
mons and Co Canterbury. The Prisoner signed his
name Charles Young, and said he was placed un-
der Lord Darnley's Steward to improve himself in
agricultural studies The bill was soon found to
be a forgery. and part of the notes, as paid for it,
were traced to the Prisoner. Mr. F. after detailing
a variety of other circumstances respeeling the de-
ception made use of to obtain the amount of the
bill, stated. that it since occurred to him, that the
Prisoner was on board the Malabar at Graves-
end, where be concluded lie had before seen him.
—The Prts.nier, it appears, was impressed near
Pommonth, some time since, and sent on board the
Naame, from which he was drafted on hoard the
Malabar. His family being made known, he was
m tde Captain's Clerk; but he ran away from the yes-
at Yarmouth. It was also discovered, at this in-
quiry, that the Prisoner is the son of a gentleman
retired from business, at a village in Hampshire ;
bat delicacy forbids us giving wither particulars.
The Prisoner was fully committed for trbil, a: the
rest 114irlatone As.izes, for forgery; and also at the
