ACCIDENTS AND OF.FENCES.
got*srKtET.—Fritia.y a tuan Who had every' appiara.nce of a
gentleman, was brought to the °ace front the Stamp-o%w, Un-
-6r the following circumstance : It appeaiedt from the evidence
of an engraver, that the prisOner applied to him to engrave an
instrument to stamp the name of Thomas Robins, whoni he re-
presented as a banker at Listeard, in Cornwall, who had the
misfortune to disable himself from writing his name, his band
being shot with a pistol. The engraver at first hesitated at un-
dertaking to execute the instrument, Dut was at length persuaded
by the prisoner to do it, and agreed to get it done in a week for .
two guhieas. However, after the prisoner' was gone he repented
of his engagement, an.; made some inquiries ! he found out the
bankers in London with the bankers at Liskeard banked,
and learned that one of thepartners of.the Lialteard Bank was in
London ! and upon inquiry of him he was informed that no
such accident as Mr. Robins shooting his hand had happened.
Information of the circumstance was, given at the Stamp-office,,
in case of his applying there for stamps ; which he accordingly ,
did, and presented one hundred pieces Of yap= for stamping,
suspected to be for the purpose of issuing notes resembling those •
of the Liskeard Bank. The prisoner was ordered-61.nd bait
