THE NATIONAL REGISTER

charged to be a forgery by Mr. Switch's, uttered by him
at Doctors' Commons, for the corrupt purpose of gaiuing
the property described for the nsother•in-law.
S I witnesses we►e then called to prove that the sig.
nature, " Thomas Robinson," was not in the handwriting
of the deceased; but on cross-examination, they almost
all completely neutralized their evidence by hesitations,
amounting to admissions that might be in his hand-wri-
ting. One of these witnesses was observed, during his
evidence, to keep his eye on the attorney for the prow°.
lion, Mr. RuNhworth, who stood up opposite to him. Mr.
Baron Gars ow ordered Rushworth to sit down.
The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, put
in a written paper, in which lie reiterated the statement
made in his deposition produced from Doctors' Commit'.
—stated his perfect readiness on all occasions to meet his
accusers, and added, that lie had now surrendered to take
his trial.

A great number of witnesses were then called, who not
only swore positively to the alleged tidgery being the
hand-writing of Mr. Robinson deceased, bid distinctly
contradicted the evidence of many of the witnesses Ihr
the prosecution—pi oved the friendly rennesion which
subsisted between the deceased and Mr. Saslebye, and
the fact of his having been with the deceased alone on
Sunday the 3 th of November. hi addition to this, se.
vet& persons of high respestability bore testimony to the
unimpeachable liGnour nod integtity of the prisoner in
all his transactions in life.

The Jury now declared themselves satisfied, without
hearing any further evidence,
Mr. Justice Bayley perfectly concurred in the propriety
of this decision ; and said that, on comparing his notes
with the speech of the learned eUIIIISei who had opened
this case, lie observed that there was not a proposition
which he had advanced ev/Wis he not had Jailed to support by
evidence, or in schith he had not been satisfactorily contradicted.
—lie was unwilling to interrupt the counsel for the pi
sorter, however, as lie was desirous that lie should appear,
nut that the unfortunate man had merely escaped trim
the consequences of this indictment, but that he was en•
titled to be reinstated in the sante honourable situation of
life which be Lad held previous to his being placed at the
bar.

The Jniy s lid they were satisfied of the perfect inno-
cence of the prisoner, and immediately pronounced him
—Not Guilty.
Air. Shelton, the clerk of the Court, now stated that
these was an indictment the perjury against the prisoner
upon the same facts. Alter some hesitation on the part of
the prosecutor to proceed with this indictment runt a future
sessions, the prisoner, by the recommendation of the
lest tied Judge, having been in custody when the bill was
found, demanded to take his trial then, to which Mr. Ba-
-1.011 Garrow, however late the hour, expressed his wit.
fineness to attend.
Mr. Broderick, for the prosecution, now stated that lie
should decline calling any witnesses, and the Jury having
been charged, they again pronounced a verdict of—Nut
Guilty.
M r. Sergeant I fullock, on behalf of the prisoner, applied
for a copy of the indictment, w lilt a view, it was under-
stood, to some ulterior proceeding, and the Court acceded
iiiimeiiistrly to the rripiest.

CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY, DEC. 10.
Our market this warning was mast abundantly supplied with
11 heat from the coasts of Essex. Kent, and Suffolk, as well as
with a large quantity from Scotland—it still continues of very
inferior quality, for which no price is offered—the finest samples
has mail purchasers at is. pet quarter lower than our last quota-
tions. The supply of Barley was large, which met with a very
dull sale at a reduction of Is. per quarter. Oats, of which there
is a tolerable supply. although offered at Is. per quarter lower,
has no demand. Hour remains the same, but a reduction is
expected by the ease of the market. In Beans and Peas there is
no alteration.
