were executed at eleven o'clock, and seven at balf-past one.; they all
behaved in a manner truly becoming their unhappy situation.—Ths
Special Commision at York is only adjourned during pleasure.
HORRID MURDIR, &c.—A rape and murder was committed on
the body of a young woman, named Hannah Leatham, in the service
of Mr. Jackson, of Brignal, pear Greta-bridge, on New Year's Dar
She had been sent on an errand to Barnard Castle, which place she left
about five o'clock in the evening, on her way home. Her body was
found next morning, about two miles from that town, on the road 'o
the High .street (a road much frequented) , with her head nearly cut
from her body. A Coroner's Inquest returned a verdia of—kape
and Murder against some person or persons unknown. Several meat
luve been taken up on suspicion, but nithing mere satisfactory has
been proved.
Funs ERY.--It is greatly to be lamented that the crime of forgery ap-
pears to be increasing instead of diminishing. It has been discovered
within these few days that forgeries to a greater extent have been tom-
mined by one individual, and to a lareer amount, than any that has ever
been accomplished in this country since the crime was known here, an&
the person charged with them is a person deemed of considerable con-
sequence in the mercantile world, being Mr. Parry, a merchant, of
Devonshire-square, who is charged with forging upon a mercantile house
in the City to the amount of 60,0001. a Lottery Office keeper tor 20,0601.
fn the whole, bills of exchange, drafts, &c. to the amount of upwards of
100,0001. The discovery was made on Saturday last; and.. although
the parties were satisfied as to his guilt, and had sufficient proof of it,
they were so completely lost to their own interest and the ends of pub-
lic justice, and so credulous as to believe his promise to meet them again
on Monday, as to let him go at large again. At the appointed time ma
Monday lie did not attend, as might have been expected by arty person
who had any forethought. On inquiry, it was ascertained that he left
the parties who charged him with the offence, on Saturday, and went
off to his country house at Whetstone, near Barnet, which place he lett
again on Sunday, and came to London. He was seen on that day in
Bishopsgate.street, in the City road, and in other pieces in that neigh-
bourhood. On Monday, when he did not attend the meeting of the
parties charging him, enquiry wa4 made at his town and country bonses,
and lie not having slept at either on Sunday night, there is no doui)t that
he absconded on Sunday evening, with a view to quit England, or that
he is concealed in London or a few miles off.
The following fraud has recently taken place at the Transport-office,
Westminster :—One of the clerks belonging to that deptuttuent was ab-
sent through indisposition, and requested a friend in the office to pro-
cure fOr him his salary, as also that of two other clerks, at the usual time
of payment, and send it to his residence. The facie! did so, and incl.,-
sed the money in a letter, which he gave in charge to one of the MA-.
sengers, belonging to the office to deliver. The man had scarcely de-
parted from the Mike, when he was accosted by a young man, also a
clerk, who enquired where he was g' ing. The man retdily told him ;
when the other rematked it was a long walk, (near Kentii,gten), and
lie could save him the journey, as he was then on his way to Ilto bows>
to spend the evening. By tins artifice the man had no hesitation in re-
linqui,hing his charge, particularly as the young inn was well known
to him. Two days elapsed before any notice was taken of the affair.
when it was discovered that the letter had never been deliver( d, and
it was also ascertained, that the young ne,tt had not been to his duty
since the day on which he obtained the mowex. The investigation th.tt
took place removed all doubts as to the culprit It appeals, 111.4 on the
moriling following the afterroutt on which the money was obtained, he
called at a. jeweller's in Bond-sneet, and purchased a gold watch Or
more than 10 g..ineas value, and obtained chanve for a 1001. 113le.
Soon al'er, this note was paid into the Bank, and proved to be the same
reet ived in payment of the clerks' salaries. Hitherto the offe..cier has
eluded the search made after him. The amount of the sum he obtaiueil
was 18'11. 17s. ; which, it is said, comprised the salaries of three indivi-
duals for the last quarter. The offender is about a years of age, and
had been upwards of four years in the other.
