COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wrrni:Nma,
MoRDAY, NovaKam 40.
Mr. GASELIE moved the judgment of the Court
on John Ball, convicted at the 14st Winchester
Anises of unlawfully having in his possession a cer-
tain quaint), of cordage and other naval stores of his
Majesty.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE pronounced the
sentence of the Court, which was, that the Defend-
ant should forfeit the articles mentioned in the in.
&vivito and pay is flue of 2001. and a further sum
of 45/. as costs ; and be imprisoned till such fine

THE KING v. COHEN AND OTHERS.
This was an indictment fur u conspiracy to
prove fictitious debts under a commission of
bankrupt issued against the Defendant, Cohen.
The trial took piece at Guildhall before Mr.
Justice Bsyley, when, of eleven Defendants
who were on the record, four were found guilty,
tour were acquitted, ■rid three not tried. The
full particulars were published in this Paper at the
time of the trial.
Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN now moved for a rule to
shew cease why the verdict should not be set aside,
and a new trial granted. He moved on the part of
the Defendant, Mark Nathan, slid grounded his
application or: •the affidavit of Beirrequtn, one of
the Defendants, who was not tried, and whom, he
contended, there was tin pretence for including in
the indictment, except for the purpose of depriv-
ing the other Defendants of the benefit of his testi-
mony. They hid calculated on his acquittal, and
then the other Defendants would have examined
him as a witness; but when the trial came on it
appeared that no steps whatever hid been taken
against him, and as he was not in Court it was not
possible to examine him for the Defendants. As
to John Rees, another of the Defendants, a soli
prosequi hid been entered, to enable lam to be
exa 1111 l wd for the prosecution. At the trial he
seore that the former with he had taken before the
Commissioners of Bankrupts was false, sod that
the debt he then proved, under the Commission of
Cohen, was fictitious. The Learned Seijeant said
he did not mean to place much reliance upon it,
but he now had the affidavit of Rees, that shame-
less man, stating that his former oath before the
Commissioners was true.
The LoRD CHIEF JUSTICE doubted whether
such an affidavit could be received.
Mr. Commoe SERJEART appeared for the De-
fendant Levi.
Mr. Jessoe appeared for Shannon, one of the
Defendants, who had been chows one of the *nig.
awes.
Mr. PoLLOCK appeared for the Defendant %VII.
Rule to *hew cause granted.
CONDUCT OF AN ATTORNEY.
Mr. ANDREW. moved for a rule to shew cause
why Mr. Elias Isaac., an Attorney of the Court,
should not refund a sum of 2001. and why he ►hould
not be struck off the rolls if the matter of the affi-
davit was not answered. The Learned Counsel
said, lie moved on the affidavit of Mr. Caputo,
orange-inerchant, of Hoondsditch, who it appeared
loot some time ago a Bank of England note for
300/. ; he could nut tell in what way he had lust it, or
whether it had not been stolen from him ; however
he advertised in the newspapers, and offered a re-
ward of 100/. for the recovery of it. He did nut
hear any tidings of it for some days, when he re-
ceived a letter from Mr. Elias Isaacs, on whom he
called, and was told by him that he had heard of
his note, and could get it for him, if he would give
'2OO/. instead of the 1001. reward which he had
advertised. At first Mr. Capita told losses he
would consider of it, and went away ; but, on
consideration, he called again on Isaacs, Wild told
him he must submit to the terms which he had
proposed, but observed, that it was very hard he
should have to pay so largely. considering that he
had stopped payment of the note at the bank. Mr.
Isaacs told him in reply that it was to no purpose
that he had done so, as the bank must pay the
suite, if in the hands of a bona fide holder. He
then► paid Isaacs the 400/. but did not receive the
300/. note at that time; but on his return home,
he found the note had been left at his house by a
clerk of Issues. Mr. Capua afterwards obtained a
summons from the Lord Mayor, to compel Isaacs
to account how or from whom he had got the
note. The first time he attended at the Mansion.
House, be refused to give any account uf the mat-
ter; but on the second time he was attended by


rmslitel, sod he then refined, an the granola %hit
Is on attorney he was josrili4 in regaling to die-
dose bin Aeon' scents; bet being isdnioniabrel by
the Lord Meyer, of the danger in his own chars*-
' Ser from merit b coarse •f protteditg, and his
Lordship adding that he should probably commit
his for trielb he then gave the isaate of the person
front whom he bard the note; but on that perrou
bin Capita hid sot called, to merrtaiii if he iris
the person from whom Isaac* had it.
Rale granted,.
THS kind b. /1111 g CAuttlf.t.

formation filled against her by the Attorney-Gene-
rid. for thy publication of a libel un the 17th of
June last, justifying the crimes of murder and as-
SaWlitatints.

The Defendant said she was not- prep 'red to

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS,
MONDAY, Non .i& 40.

The Court sat this in..rhing to hear bail justify.
The only case in which these was any opposition
was that 01

Dotal' C. BROOCHOCPT.
The Defendant in this cause is the Deputy Mar.
shal of the Kiiies Bench, and Mr. Moroi*, one of
his bail, was objected to by Mi% Serjeasit Ortst.ow,
on the ground that being • turnkey of the King's
Bench Pilsen, hr came under the same point of
inadmissibility as a Sheriff', offirer.
Mr. Serjeant LAWEB contended, that the turnkey
of the King's Beath was not liable to the same
objection which would apply to s Sheriff's officer.
The COURT. however, held shut it had been al-
ready decided, that se no Sheriff's officer, brilitf, or
any other person any way cosicerned in the fee.
mans of any process, could be accepted as bill in
ally suit ;" and that that rule had been applied to
the keepers of the Poultry Compter and Marshal-
sea Prison, and to a person employed to summon
juries : and upon the principle of the rule it
must equally apply to turnkeys. This hail was,
therefore, not allowed; hut time was given to put
in fresh bail.

The Coure afterwards proceeded to hear mo-
tions mid orpiment, on motions for new trials. but
nothing of public iniertst occurred. The Court
rove at one o'clock.
