The sppliCaticiitToposisoiietii;;;llof M►. nit-
Nero the Bank Clerk, charged with forgery to the
amount or t0,000r., was ►enewed before the Judger,
in their private room, by Mr. Alley ; and, after •
consultation of considerable length, the Learned
Counsel succeeded in convincing their Lordships of
the justice of the motion. and the trial was post.
potted until the next Session..
The prisoner wus not brought into Court.
John Jones was indicted for feloniously killing
and slaying William Ellis on the 14.11 of June.
It appeared in evidence that the prisoner and the
deceased were both estra waiters it the City of Lon-
don Tavern, and on the day rated in the indict-
ment they were at dinner in the kitchen, when a
dispute arose respecting the mode of carving a joint
of meat, and the deceased called the prisoner " •
Welsh son of a h---." This provoked the Cam-
brian so much, that he hit the deceased • itelll.l/..
dous blow, and felled him to the grourid. The
deceased rose and followed the prisoner to the other
end of the kitchen, a scuffle took place, and they
both fell. The decra•ed afterwards complained
much of a hurt in his side ; he went to the London
Hospital, where frame medicines were given to him,
and he continued an out-pwirist for about six days.
when he died. He complained continually of the
hurt in his side, and said he was sure it would be
the death of him.

Mr. Smith, the surgeon who attended the de-
ceased in Ins illness, au* culled, but hr professed
himself unable to swear that the blow given by the
Prisoner was the cause of the death of ihr deceased.

Upon this evidence the Learned JUI/liC directed
an acquittal, ued the Jury returued a verdict of

Mr. CORWOOD, for the prosecution. stilted that
the Prosecutor was a Grilllemon posseoing a small
cottage, surrounded with plantations, at Hostois,
and in one pot of the %rounds stood a summe►-
house, in which he had caused a bed to be put up
for the purpose of repose during the summer sea-
son. The summer-house being rather exposed, the
Prosecutor hail taken the precaution to have in-
scribed upon one side of the mattress. in large clip-
raiders, ." Stolen ! please to stop it ;" and on the
other his own name and addres.. Notwithstanding
this warning the summer-house was one night cleared
of all it contained, and about ten toights after the
robbery the Prisoner was stopped under suspicious
circumstances by a Bow-street patrol, •od his
house being searched, the goods stoleo from M►.
Applebee were found, together with a large quan-
tity of property of various kinds, which were found
to belong to other persons from whom it had beau

Mr. Cu swoop said the Prisoner was a most ac-
complished thief, and that there were no lees than
seventeen other charges of robbery against him.
The CON NOR SELMAN', told the Prisoner he
was too dangerous a man to be suffered to re►sain
in this couritiy, and sentenced him to seven years
transportation.
