The LORD CHIMP BARON said there could be no doubt but
that it was a fingery ; and
Mr. Jamie, PAR k gave the same opinion.
There were no witnesses called for the defence.
The Loan CHIEF BARON then ktimmed up the evidence, and
the Jury returned a verdict or Guilty.
The prisoner appeared dreatltugy agitated when the verdict was
returned.

The prisoner was subsequently found Guilty on a second indict-
ment for a similar offence.
IN BAR OF EXECUTION.
Mary Ctin, the wretched wohian who was tried on Friday and
convicted of the murder of Maurice Fitztzerald, and who was or-
'teed ft execution on Monday (this day), having pleaded in bar
of execution that she was quick with child, was, during the
preceding trial, led into the dock by the officers of the Court.
She appeared in &dreadful state of agitation, and trembled exces-
sively.
A Jury of Matrons were then sworn by Mr. Shelton, the Clerk
of the Arraigns, sod they were ordered by Mr. Justice Park to
retie with the prisoner, to ascertain if her pies was correct • and
after being absent about ten minutes, the forewoman declared it to
' be the sense of the Jury that she was not at all in a pregnant state,
and consequently the law will take its course.
The wretched woman was then carried trot the bar by the offi-
cers of justice.

Aralt.on Paris, aged 28. was indicted for being et large in this
kingdom, he having been conyteted at the September Sessions. in
1819, of stealing trom the person of W. T. Parry a silver watch,
seals, &c., value al., and fur which offence be was senttuced to be
transported for life.
The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty, and said that his name was
not Davis, but Henry Williams.
J. Bishop, formerly one of the principal turnkeys of Nevrgate.
proved that the prisoner was the person convicted; and his evidence
was confirmed by two of the Bow.street °Mom
The prisoner declined saying any thing further in his defence,
but called two of the turnkeys of Neirgate to prove that he was not
the person convicted ; but they both stated that they were stationed
in a different part of the prison from that in which the prisoner
was confined, and that they had not the slightest knowledge of hint.
Alr. Justice PARE summed-up, and the Jury returned a verdict
of Gilike.
George Ansel Lowe, aged 31, watindicred fur embezzling 801.8 a.
received by him on account of' Richard 'alp and Co. his em.
ployers. Ile was also indicted for embezzling the sum of 121. 125.,
and 11. 75., received by him on the same account.
On his being placed at the bar the prisoner pleaded Guilty to all
three indictments, on which the Recorder addressed him, and
asked whether he had duly considered the consequences of the plea
he had just made. It was probable thst some persona bad advised
him to plead guilty since he had been in prison ; he wished him to
understand that such a plea would be of no advantage to him. If
he were put on his trial, it was possible that sonic allevisting cir-
cumstances might be adduced in evidence; and therefore, as a
friend, he would advise him to withdraw his plea, and plead not
guilty.
The prisoner bowed respectfully to the Court and said, " I thank
your Lordship for your kind admonition ; but, with all due defer.
cute to the Court, I do not feel disposed to withdraw my plea of
guilty."
lie was then removed from the bar.
