OLD BAILEY.

SECOND DAY---THURSDAY, OCT. 29.

The only noticeable proceeding which took place
this day was the Trial of Thomas Scott Smith (pretty
generally known in town by the appellation of the
Sham Parson of St: Martin's), who was charge,l
with feloniously forging and counterfeiting, and
uttering the same, knowing it to be so forged,
a certain Draft or Order,, for
.the payment of Joh
purporting to be drawn by Robert Smith, on Messrs.
Smiths, Payne, and Smiths, Bankers in London,
and made payable to the Rev: Thomas Scott Smith,
or Bearer, with intent todefraud Benjamin Capper.
This case, which a press of more important math
ter precludes us from detailing, has been in a great
,degree made known to our Readers through the
medium of our Police Reporters. The Prosecutor
was Mr. Capper, Master of the Hungerford Coffee.
house, where it appeared
.the Prisoner had frequent-
ly dined in his canonicals, and it was in the clerical
charafter he negotiated the instrument in question,
with Mr. Capper. He described himself as having
received the Note from his father, who, he said, re-
sided at Weytuouth, at the same time giving an ad_
. dress to the Prosecutor, to his father, " Robert
Smith, Esq. Terrace, Weymouth, Dorset and
who, he said, kept money at the Banking House
,specified in the Draft. The falsity of these re-
presentations were soon deteded, and the Robert
Smith, Esq. was repeatedly ,written to, and natur-
ally without effed. It -appeared in the- course of
the evidence, that the Prisonei had never been in
orders,- but was occasionally a Rider to his father,
whose name was
_Richard Smith, a leather-cutter by

trade:
In his - defence be asserted, he had received the
note-from. his father—that he had no intention to
-defraud Mr. Capper, who, _he said, was much in-
toxicated at the. time of the transaaion ; and added,
that he might. have got away if he had been con-
scious of having aced wrong.
.1-lowev.er, this . defence not being .satisfaaorily
proved in evidence, and the Jury giving full credit
to. the
.Witnesses for the Prosecution, they had little
hesitation in finding the Prisoner (whose condu&,
in the opinion of the Learned Judge, was much ag:.
gravatcd by.. his assumption of the sacred Charater),
Guilty—Death.

The LORD MAYOR ordered 'the City Marshals
to attend at Mark-lane and Smithfield on Monday
last, a praaice which we hope will be continued..
The Corn Market was uncommonly filled with
country buyers. The prices, however, fell.
There was the greatest quantity of cheese exposed
for sale at Lancaster Fair, on Monday, which has
ever been remembered, and' it experienced a consi-
derab:e reddlion in price. Good cheese from `+ss.
to 555. per cwt. inferior ditto, 4os. Not muck was
sold even at these prices.
