preached four times a week, small wages, and touch

his preaching, and in various parts of his Sson's
Traveller, he declared that he preached grow. The
Learned Comma considered that there was blas-
phemy in every page of this nonsensical week and
be thought it shoild be the subjeift of a prosecution
by the Attoriey-General f or that the whole of the
publication.simuld be bought up, and burnt by the
hands of the common hangman.
Some Willettses were called who were present at
an investigation of the affairs between these parties,
bat they all differed in the several items which were
admitted or denied by them.
Sir V. Guess, for the Defendant, observed, that
there was more of entertainment than solidity in
the statement of his Learned Friend ; but his was
old wit, and reminded, him of a circumstance which
took place in the reign of Queen Ann. when the
wits of the bay gave, eut. that Do6er Partridge was
dead. and even went so far as to send undertakers
into his house, who were proceeding to hang his
room with black, till Mrs. Partridge was obliged to
, beat them out with a broom-stick. . To controvert
this opinion. the Doctor wrote a beak, is which be
gave sixteen reasons for being alive„t• ems of which
was. that his Almanack came ,agea the following
month. Dean Swift answered this book; and,among
other things, contended, as i reason he was dead,
that no man living could write such oanaense as the
Doctor?. Almanack. 'The truth, however, in this
case was, that there being a mutual confidence and
friendship between the parties, the Plaintiff per.
waded hint to publish the book in rptestioo, aid
they were kb bear equally the expel-ries of it.
Other witnesses having been examined, who gave
a different account of the trknsgtion,
Lord Ettiniaoamme leTt it to the Jury to de•
cide what was the piobable justice of the case. and
after a short consultation, they found a verditt of
71. 10s. for the Plaintiff.

Martha Do.ytr was capitally inded for uttering a
piece of counterfeit money, made to the likeness of
shilling, she having been b.fiire found guilty, at
the Clerkcnwell Session, of a similar offence.
After the former convEftion was p nye& it ap-
peared, that the prisoner went into a linen-dram's
shop to purchase a gown, in payment for which
she tendered nine shillings, all of which proving to
be had, she was taken into custody, and brought
before a Magistrate.
The Prisoner, in her defence, stated, that she was
an unformnate girl, not more than seventeen gears
of age. Her mother, she said, had been dead for
some time, and her father had turned her out of
doors, and desired her to earn her bread in the best
manner she could. The money she had tendered
to the Prosecutor, she had the night before received
from a gentleman, and had not the smallest idea it
was bad, and therefore threw herself on the Court
and Jury for mercy.
The Learned Judge, in summing up the evidence,
said, the story of the Prisoner us ght be entitled to
some degree of credit, was it not in evidence. and a
part of her present crime. that she had been before
convicted, and sentenced to a year's imprisonment
for a like offence. From this it mightbe inferred,
that she was a common utterer of bad‘money ; but
if the Jury entertained any, doubt on the ettlojea,
they should, of course, acquit her.
The Jury. after some consideration, steturned a
verdia of ' Offaiy--Death.
