respectable woollen-drape►, residing. on Ludira.e.
hill, and sought by this action to recover too/.
which the Defendant had received to his use, under
circumstances rather e:traordins►y. The Plaintiff,
in March lust, hid sent a servant boy, named Biggs,
to Mr. Sterry, in Basinghall.street, for 640/., in
that sum ws. a 1001. note. Biggs, by means of his
brother, made away with that note, for which rob.
hely he and his brother were tried and convicted,
From the evidence of a 'Pupae who was concerned,
it would appear that the Defendant had purchased
the note fu► 51t1. tie should confirm her testimony
by such other evidence as would leave the Jury in
no doubt that .hie client was entitled to recover.

he wanted 110. We agreed un the price. and he
gave me 1001. note (the note produced is the lame).
There was a mistuke in the transaction in the change

Tower-hill with him to the Black Boy in Cathe-

mare Branch to change a 1001. note. Watts told
me tonal' 801. for the 1001. I asked Woolf for 801.
and Watts whispered to him. There was a red
mark on the note.—[The !tote was shewn to wit.
ness.)—That is the note. Woolf, after Watts had
whispered him, said it was • Batik post bill, and I
had better take 501., as hr iihsuld not get rid of
it for a lung time. He asked me how 1 got it, and
I told him I was an unfortunate girl, and got the
note from a geutleinan in the City. He asked me
if I hail any more, but I told him I had but that
one. He told me if I did not like to have SOL I
should have none. He left me then at the public-
'wipe for three quarters of an hour, and brought
back fifty sovereigns, and told me if I had any thing
else to let him have it. He told George Watts if
he would call upon him he would give him a new
jacket that evening. I received the note from
Richard Biggs, ou the Gth March, at Lambeth-
street office.

Cron-examined by the COMMON SoaaJtant.—
The Rosemary Branch is opposite the Defendant's
holm. We went into a little room in the public-
honer, sod had tome bread and cheese, and some
wine and water; I gave Richard Biggs all the fifty
sovereigns. I now live with my mother. I first
told this story after Richard Biggs was committed so
Nervgate, to Ms. Richardson ; I lived with Richard
Boggs as man and wife. I was io Mr. Richardson'.
Morse about a week after I told him about this.

By the Juncia.—lt appeared to me that Woolf
knew Watts before the interview 1 had with him.
Job,, Forrester, City Officer—l went to summons
Mr. Woolf to attend at the Mansion•house. I held
the summons in my !mid. and said 64 Woolf here is
a summons for yoo ; I Nippon you know all oboist
it." He said. G‘ I suppose its about the 1001.
note." I said " Yes." He afterwards said he
knew nothing about it.
Marchatit. another City officer, who went with
Forrester, confirmed Ins testimony.
Mr. Denman, for the Defendant, thought the
Jury would toot think much of the evidence which
they had heard. Some suspicion might attach to
the Defendant, from the conversation which the
officers spoke to; but when they recollected there
had been a trial at the Old Bailey, and an examina-
tion at the Mansion-house, which was inse►ted
in the newspapers, nothing was more natural than
the Defendant should say—" I suppose it is about
the 1001. note. The Learned Counsel then ad.
verted to the danger of giving credit to a witness
of the desc►iption of Jane Sonsertield, who came
without any corroboration to her evidence; though
undoubtedly the Landlady of the Rosemary Branch,
who served the refreshment to her and Watts, might
have been called. The Jary, he was assured, would
not give a verdict on such testiu►ouy against the
Defendant.

The LORD Cut ii JUSTICE. in summing up the
evidence, observed, that the account which the
tentless Satterfield gave was not of such a nature
us to entitle her to implicit credit; but it was for
the Jury to say whether they could believe that
account it' the absence of every circumstance on
the part of the Defeudaot to 'hew how he became
pouwwied of the oote.
The Jury, without hebitution, found it verdict
for the Plautiff.—Damages 100/.

INHUMAN ATROCITY.—A few days ago a voting
WOlllllll frOlding in Sunny-brae, parish of Saline,
had an illegitimate child, and in order to avoid the
shame winch an exposure of her situation might
have drawn upon her, barbarously murdered the
• ocent infant in • manner at which human nature
shudders. The unhappy mother lived under the
same roof with an old woman, whose apartment was
separated only by a thin partition, on whom she call-
ed to come and make her a warm drink, but pro-
hibited her from preparing it at the fire of the room
they were in, saying that she had just heaped on a
large tire to warm the house, which she was unwil-
ling to have touched or broken down. The old wo-
man was surprised on finding a vary disagreeable
smell issuing from the fire. and, after repeatedly
interrogating the sick female, without obtaining soy
satisfactory answer, turned up the coals, and, to
her unspeakable horror, found in the midst of them
the half•consuroed remains of the hapltu victim of
the unnatural parent's inhumanity. There being
no assistance near, the wretched infanticide made
her escape nest morning, and was seen in Dunferm-
line on the evening of that day, the report of her
crime not having then spread so far. Every exertion
has been made to discover her, but as yet without
success. Her parents ore alive and respectable.—

OLD BAILEY, NioNDAY, OttosEa 48.

Henry Day %riot put to the bar. charged with
having sold to John Julies some slyer plate with
forged Hall marks oo them, he kistrattig the same
to be forged.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stilted the rate for
the p►osecution. It Mod, lie said. been 111.11tuiteti

He was sorry to be under the necessity of rotating

Jour., silversmith, in the Strand. Mr. Jouts
bought Of the Prisoner a quawity of plate, aratifig
which were tour wavy spoon.. useutioued iu the
indictment. The price charged fur these included
the duly usually paid wheu manufactured.. It was
usual for stroking silversmiths to put their initials
upon the sticks which they msusifroctured, but
the Prisoner had upon the articles iu question sub.
slimed H. F. fur lit It, and the Hall mark
provid to be forged. It would be proved that he
had sold other articles with the stamp forged tu like
manner, and he had bad recourse to a similar
device is prevent detection.

Joh. Jones, of 339, Strand, produced a bill of
parcels of pods purchased' by hum from the Pri-
soner on 'the 4d or Merck 1831. The four groey
spoons, a large soap ladle, sod six Freuch'dewe►t
spoons were produced, as among the articles poi-
chased from the Prisoner, and for win, h the du'y
hail been paid by the purchaser to the Prisoner.
David Junes, a silversmith, residing iu Broad-
street. St. Gilts's, had purchased goods from the
Prisoner io 1840; he paid the usual duty ou them.
but the stamps proved to be forged.
John Denny, journeyman to Mr. Kircombe, 148.
Bluickfriars-ruarl, had delivered two silver spoon.,
and two butter ladles, now produced, to Mr.
Meyers, as part of the stock of Mr. Kircombe.
Mr. W. Kircoi■be, pawnbroker, had purchased
the stock of Mr. Phillips in August lust. Among
the rest were three silver skewers, two of which be
produced.
Joseph Phillips sold to the last witting Iliadic...so
mentioned by last witness. They had' been 'assele
by the Prisoner, who had formerly worked foe
On his cross-examination, he sa►d that the skewers
were made in January, 1831; lie had out fur the
last two years purchased any plate from a person
named %mom our for three years front a:wither
person of the name of Warriston. In the stock
transferred to Mr. Kircombe there ►night be articles
manufactured by there persons, but he knelt 110-
thing of what had become of the persons themselves.
Re-examined in chief.—lle *steer purchased any
spoons from those uersona.
r • John George Stephens purchased Noe .better
ladles from the Prisoner in the early part or Decent-
bee 1840; he had paid the Prisoner file 'the duty
upon all those articles; of them he had sold some
in the course of his business, and others he Dow pro..
duced ; they had the letieis H. D. faiotly punched
on them. At the same time witness purchased a
fish knife from the Prisoner; be paid the ditty for
it, and it was masked in the same manner as the
others.

Crnas.examined by Mr. PHILLIPS-11e had a
running account with the Prisoner ; he was Some-
times absent from his shop, which, upon'these•oc-
cosmos, was left to the charge of • very yoliWg boy.
The goods which he now produced had never beitt
out of his shop since purchased ; he never upon
any occasion pawned any part of his stuck, nor had
he ever scud that he poichmed four spoons froth
the Prisoner, and then said he was mistaken ; lie
had never within the last twee yeast; offered to re-
turn any plate to the Prisoner.
George Myles, inspector of stamps et Gold-
smith: Hall, knew the Prisoner to Le a working
silversmith ; he described use way in which the
stamps are put upon the plate at the Hell ; whet,
brought for that purpot.e it always has upon it the
initials of the maker. Then it to assayed, mid if it
be of the proper quality, the Goldsnuths' mark is
eased, stud then the King's heed, as evidence that
it has paid the duty. The Goldsmiths' mark is a
boo and leopard's head. Ou the 26th of Septem-
ber last he found • punch an the Prisontee pos-
session; the plate which was produced having brew
sbewp to him, he declared. that he would nut have
passed them with the initorli as they were; and thut
the initials on the spoons could lint have been im-
pressed by the punch which was 1111111 d iu else Pri-
soner's posses ion. It appeared to witness that die
punch had been struck twice upon the articks in a
MCP* order, and in cousequetice of that they were
confined. All the articles appeared to witness to
lave forged marks, winch all appeared to have been
impressed in a similar way.
Ols his cross-txamiitattun he stated, that there
were about lour stamper. in the office, and he
never heard that any one had been discharged for
misconduct, nor was lie aware (though mist,lies
might happen) that a genuine sunup we. ever mis-
taken for a forged one; there once was an allege-
-0011 to that effect circulated, but it was whittly
without foundation. If the stamp be put on with
skill, the fiiii•hing which the win k receives
efirr-
wards did nut in any degree efface it; never law, it
so much effaced as to occasion a doubt whether the
stamp was forged or genuine; plate had beau wo-
ducedr on the genumeuess of the stamp' he had
hesitated. There are two usanifecturers whose
initials are H. D.; the manufacturer himself 'keeps.
the Stamp with the initials. but there is in lappets-
lion of it kept at the Hall.

John Smith, the perm's by whom the punches fur
the Hall are engraved, examined the plate, and
declared that the King's bead own all the articles
was torged.

This closed the case for the prosecution.
The I)thioutr, iu his defence, solid, that if the
stamps hod been forged, they had been w wltbout
his knowledge.

Charles Williwm Duly, brother to the Prisoner,
stated, dim is' Decembe►, 1841, the Prisonti hail
been extremely ill. He had bees' Seim fur 010111114
previuus, and the indispebittun was such as idles..
vent the Prisoner from stteodiog to his business,.
Several witnesses were tr.:mimed as to the Pri.

charicler, and they concurred in giving
one of the best description.
-.so— Cartledge, • silver spoon-maker, stotted
that last Au.vist twelve mootha ■ misrulee had
been committed at Goldsmith.' 11.11; a tor/giant
had been issued against him for tiaing forged
marks, but when the plod,. came to be examined
they were found to be genuine. rile. Myles was
the inspector by whom the mistake. wale committed.
Crcss examined—lie admitted this. the plate had
not been returned ; it was desoined because it had
been mixed with lured plate, loot there was soot
stiffitient evidence against hits, and be was dis-
charged.
Kr examined—The mark on the Otte in goes.
tient was genuine, to be best of his byli.f.
Mr. Myles produced an impression of the ge•
nein, stamp, and the J :Age examined him respect-
ing the ocenrence whi h had been sworn to by
Careledge. Ile said, there had been no mistirte,
and the plate was still dela-ImA in the King's state-
house aa forged. In point of fact, the sianops upon
it were forged.
Me. Justice PARK summed op, and the Jury re-
turned a verdict of Guilty, but reoouimesided the
Poisoner to mercy.
The JUDOS told them that their recommendation
stinwld have its weight, hut he thonght it right to
tell them, that there was another indictment against
the 18111 C Prisoner—

In which the ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated, that
Fe would oot proceed.

Theodore Constantine was indicted for stealing in
the dwelling house of William J.niu, a gold watch,
value 81. his roped,.
J.irrio, the Prosecutor, is a foreigner. a conf•c-
tionsr io New Bond-street. The Prisoner was also
a Frenchman, and came to the shop of the Prosecu•
for to purchase some cake ; left the Prisoner in the
shop; missed the same day a gold watch and chain;
the watch was in the bed-room on the preceding
men ; the Prisoner was in his house frequeotly;
comes to receive one guinea each week, which Pri-
soner's father allows the Prosecutor to !ivy to him,
'but the Prisoner never was in the bed-room ;
Pri-
soner hod been in the workshop, the place merest
'to the bed-room, and there were ether persons io
the shop.
A pawnbroker prodeced the watch, which was
identified by the Prosecutor ; and at the same tome
gave evidence that the watch had been pawned by
the Prisoner.

The constable who took the Prisoner into cus-
tody 'produced the corresponding duplicate, which
'had been taken from the Prisoner at the time hr
wnsapprehended.
• The Prisoner handed in a written defence, which
was read by the interpreter. It bore that be had ,
bought the watch and chain.
The Prisoner not being satisfied with the reading
of the interpreter, stated his defence himself, but
It did not amount to any thing more than that he
bought the watch or a young man.
Mr. Justice NMI stated, that there was a most
melancholy letter from the father of the unfortunate
young man ; but the law would bare to take its
COU f SC.
Verdict—Graft,.
Joseph Josephs was indicted for stealing, in the
dwelling-house of Sir Wm. Gordon, Bart. • silver
tea-pot, cvesso-jug. and other articles of plate, the
property of the said Sir W. Gordon.
Jahn Parker, butler to Sir William Gordon,
proved that the property in (entium was missed

street, on the morning of the 16th of July. The
articles were next seen at Marlborough-street Po-

street, went on the c..'3d of July, in con quence of
an information, to the house of Guest, whom he
found at home. He discovered a cream jug in a box
which Guest himself unlocked. There were some
pieces of silver in the box. It was on the 6rst floor
in an exposed situation. In consequence of what
Guest said, witness, by the Magistrate's direction,
went to the house of the Prisoner, and he attended
at the office upon a summons.
Joseph Guest sworn—Stated that on the evening
of the day on which the rubbery had been com•
mitted, the Prisoner, whom he hail known for
some time, came to him and offered fu► sale a
quantity of plate, which he, the witness, without
asking any question, purchased at ..6.1. en ounce.
There were forty-tour ounces of the plate. Wit-
ness immediately, that very night, erased the crests
(he did not, indeed, know whether they were crests
or ciphers), and prepared the articles for mel Mg,
by breaking them up. Guest had been in custody
fur the same fact. He admitted having been once
at Bow.street upon some mutter about a hit of linen.
Mrs. Guest gave some evidence, which tended to
the same effect as her husband. Her husband had
been four days in custody before she thought of sp•
plying to the Magistrate. She mad( her mu,
Joseph, call his father.

Swab Guest, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Guest.
►emenibered the Priboner's coming in at the passage
doo►. He came in ■ coach ; she called to her faller
to come down, us there was some one that wanted
him. It war she and not her brother that called Mr.
Guest.

Sevi•ral witnesses spoke to the good character of
the Prisoner.

The JUDGE, in summing up, animstlverted in
very severe term) upou the testimony of Guest.
The Jury at once returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.

A new species of security, bernirg the title of
Portia Loan, was brought into the market net Sa-
turday. The amount to be raised is 200,0001. for
the service of the new colony of Poyais.
The Glasgow mail was upset in passing through
Wetherby on Friday week. The odd was full of
passengers, both inside and out, awl fortunately no
serious misfortune happened to any of them, but it
may he well to inform travellers of the cause of the
accident, and to remind them of the imprudence of
autrusting their lives to the care of amateur coach-
men. It appears that the coachman had resigned
the reins to a Gentleman on the box, who uuskil-
fully drove the coach against • chaise that was
standing in the street, and dashed it to pieces.
