JURY HAVE THROWN 01:1 THE.
FORGERY ON Tile. BANE OF DitONTHEIM.
Peter Allister. a Esreigner, was inuiced for fckn ously ettdes•
muting to procure a attail copper plate block to be tingraveo -
and made, to represent the mondwory notes of the bank of
1/rontheim. in Norway. The indictment contained 15 counts,
and wasfriuned awarding to the international form agreed upon
and embodied. by cement of the Sovereigns of Europe, into an
act. which received their sanction at the Congress of Vienna.
Mr. Reynolds stated the cox to the Jury.
Mr. Robert Stott, the engraver. raiding in the Strand. stated.
that OR the 47th of last May the prisoner called upon him. and
inquired if he could execute slim. ctrious engravings for him. for
which he would agree to pay a large of money, if they were
finished to his sdatiiction. Ina dew days. the prisoner called a
second time, and presented to Mr. icon what struck him at the
instant to be a foreign Itelltnote, desirmg him to make a plate
exactly rusemblirg the copy he had shown him. Mr. Sam
agreed to undertake the work, but merely did so with a view to
detect the party. a hum he at the time strongly semected to be
contempleting something that was bad. lie. therefure, kept the.
note which the prisoner presented to him as the copy fur the
new meowing. and which, on subsequent input!), in the city.
he ascertained to be a genuine promissory note of the Beak of
Drontheini. in Norway. and payable for a son of about
.53,4 British currency. The pnaotter said he shoat' want
about three thousand copies of the new engraving stuck off.
—Mr. Scott said, that the moment he hail get to she bottom he
communicated with Baron Stank, the Swedish Envoy, and ap-
prised him from time to time of his progress in the plate, and his
repeated visits from the prinner. As soon, however, as Mr.
Scott had got all the information he could from the prisoner, and
kept the curtsying on his hands as long LS the patience of the
latter would lull out, means were taken to secure the prisoner,
and destroy hi,. whole *theme of coreete plated fraud.
The pritoner's counsel Koala an attempt to quash the indict-
ment, le) urging objections agisirct the force of the note as ale a-
rable to its description as set forth in the indictment, but they
were over-ruled.
The Jury found the mieoner guilty, and the Court immetli•
ately sentenced him to one year's imprisonimnt in the House of
Correction.

a most brutal aill3Olt upon a poor woman. whose head he cut in

plate ter obtrude rs part of the brain.. The poor woman would
et all probability have died of her wetted*, were it not for the
car: which hadbeen taken of her by a sureenti.
The prisoner, afte- rec.iving a *were cone from the Court.
was sentenced to twelve months' inipri-ot.ment in the !loom of
Correction. and then to tied security to keep the peace for seven
. )eats.
