w:IF of cpinion that her life was in great danger. She said she was in
at the time, and she was driven out of the window by the
ti,reats of the prisoner.

the will of James Campbell, late a sail-maker on board the Java

of October, 11314, and bad died in the month of Febrnary in the pre-
sent year. In April the prisoner went to Doctor's Commons, where
site exhibited the pretended original will of the deceased to which
she ailmini.tered, and having obtained a probate she proceeded to
the milers of the ship to receive the property. Before she suc-
ceeded in this, however, the prosecntrix had received information of
the transaction. and having gone herself to the owners, she met the
prisoner, and had her taken into custody.
Several witnesses were called to prove the forgery, lint none of
them could sw. ar to the hand writing. The prisoner was couse-
quently acquitted.
