It appeared that the Prisoner, who wasrasa Hair-
dresser, was- hi .the habit -of being employed in tl-e
-afternoonS at Mr. gteVensian'sreceiving-houSe,
inciCro'' in sorting and takiti a,u, account of, the
..paid letters: previously to their delivery, to the Post-
, man. •-•*A •Merl: -belonging to Mr. Ilish's
.Lottery
Office had some weeks agoleft a lettPr at that hanse;
iii which lie had inclosed 4! 21. Note, and paid the
•••p'cislages.. This letter not arriving_ at its place of des-
-tniation, applidation Was iidide first to Mr. Ste-
veuson'.s Reeeiitigi,house,:- and• afterwardi to the
GPneral Post:Office, but withont effecL . On far-
ther 'inquiry it appeared that the letter had nevet
.reached:the Past Office„ as 'a regular account is
ways kept of all letters post-paid that. Come to the
Office. , The prisofier: being- the -perioa who had
taken. an account Of the letters ,at Mr: Stevenson's
Receiving-house on the day this letter was left there,
was of
‘course-taken before a Magistrate, and 'exa,
mined,.; but denying all 'knowledge of the letter,• he
was" bound over to appear again for farther exarni.r.
nation; f necessary. He afterwards underwent se-
veral examinations ,at Bow-street, and before Mr:
RA:RKINS, the,Solicitor for the Post-ORice. In the
last of those examinations he. was :taken to Mr.
PARKINS'S house, to which he• Went in company
with an Officer by Theobald's-road.--Next day, an'
old woman passing the same way, found by' the
side of the path a bit of
.paper in which something.
seemed to be wrapped, aud- on examining it, found
it to -be a 21. Bank of
.England Note; cut in two'
pieces. The old woman,• happy in her good for
tune, immediately repaired to the Bank to turn it
into cash. The Note being presented at the Bank,
they instantly discovered from the number that this.
was the Note in question, as orders had been give to
stop it, should it find its way thither. The old woman
was accordingly; sent to Mr. PARKINS, who, on ex-
amining the Officer who had accompanied the Pri-
soner to his house,- found that they had pasSed that.
way, on that side of the way. where the Note w.:l,t
found. The Prisoner was accordingly committed
for trial. •

$llCh was the outline. of the evidence adduced is
Court. The ,Note was clearly identified, and the
delivery
,of the letter at the Receiving-hduse suf-
ficiently proved, as also the Prisoner's .having the
charge of the letters for .that day ; but the Jury not
thinking the guilt brought home to the Prisoner, by
any:evidence sufficiently direct, found a verdict of.
acquittal.
4 young woman was tried for stealing a silver
watch, and .several article of wearing-apparel, .thc
property of 'John Fox, value above 40 Shillings, in
his duTlling-house: ,
TI6 charge was, of course: capital ; but it appear.
ed iri the qourse of the trial, that John Fox, the Pro-
secutor, had promised the Prisoner, .if she would
confess. having stolen the articles, that no farther
notice:should be taken-of it. Her confession,-in,
consequence of the promise, was the only diraa.
evidence that militated against herb But .a confes-
sion extorted in this manner, either by the opera-
tion of hope or fear, being .wisely, as well as very .
mercifully,, unavailable in law, she was 'dismissed
by the Vench,,, without the question's going to the
Jury.

COURT OF KING', B _NCI!, FEB. 20.

tRIDAY, FEB. 21:

THE SIG, V. GRANGER AND ANOTHER.

GARROW stated, that this was •a prosecution
by indi&ment, instituted at the• instance of the
Lord Mayor of the City-of-London, as Conservator
of the River Thames: He need not explain to
Gentlemen of the description of the Jury, that the
River Thames was like the King's highway ; that
nothing should be done to obstrudits navigation,
and that any thing, so done was an indi&able of- ,
fence. The Defendants, Messrs. Benjamin and
Samuel Granger, were very respedable men in their
business, aid carried on very extensive' trade. They
had a great number of lighters, and employed them,
with a great number of men, to take mud, of which
they used many 'thousand tons, for the purposes of
the West India Docks ; and much of it Was deposi
ted in the bed of the River, so as to occasion vast
shoals ; the navigable part of the River becamentir
rower than before, by from eight to ten feet, that is,
the low water-Mark was so much -nearer to the centre
of the River. This was an obstru&ion to the navi
'gation of the River, of which the-Public had a right
to complain, and consequently the Lord Mayor; ti. 4
'Conservator of the River, had instituted this prose.'
cution, for the-purpose of removing the nuisance ;
upon which a very sensiole Treatise was coinposed,',
in the shape of a Memorial, presented tb the Lord
Mayor, and also addressed to:the City of London, in'
which are represented the causes of complaint ; hew
. they aile. to be removed ; the necessity of their re-'
moval ; for that unless they are, in 'a few years-there
will be a iotarobstrudion to thena%Vigation of the river.
There was but one objed in view ni"this'prosecn-:
tion, that of discharging 'faithfully the ditties- cast
upon the Lord Mayor by his office of Conservator;
and that was; to take care that 'no nuisance should-
be suffered to continue in the River.' if there' be
any at present it must be",remoyed; and' that was ill

MARINELLI V. THE EX.ECUTORS, OF SIR J. GALLINI
This was an action against the Defendants foebusi-
_
to Sir -John tj:~ilini's villa.
The Plaintiff WaS oonsuited ; atad.the only thing ha-
ve-Cam was, what arose on the exatninatiotept- the
.• • nom which it appeared that the Plain-
tiff haft recommended biro as a bricklayer, and he
allow to per cent. cut of the bill to the
Plaintiff, whose duty it was to Check it e to Which
he adeed; it ivai; usually so to pay the surveyor who
overlooked them, and sernetifnes he had allowed 12
per cent.; 'hut he could always allow 10 per cent.
and get a living profit.
THE KING V. 3. BROWS.
This was an inciiament against the Defendant for
having obtaieed•from one W. J. Bradbury the sum
of cool. by falsely pretending that he could obtain
for him a cocket writer's place in the customs. The
fads, .as -stated by Bradbury, were as follows':
That he became acquainted with Brown in the year
'1793, through an old servant' who had lived with
him for many years ; and 'wishing to raise some
money, Brown, who was an Attorney, looked into
his - affairs to .see what securities he could give.
He told him he, had a Rever.sionary Interest in the
South Sea Stock, of 5001. and upwards, but he did
notapprehend he could sell that. Brown assured
him he could, and that such thwgs were done every
day; but he adviied him not to lay the produce out
in trade, which: was precarious, but rather buy
some place in a public office, and told him, he.
thought he coule pro Cure -him one for about'
pool. which wont(' bring hirt1:2001: per -annum.—;_
He approved of this plan, and Brown agreed to use-
his interest to get him a place. At,ditferent -times:
beforehe sold the Stock he advanced to Brown 501.
fer tees to -Clerks .in the Offices, Si:C.- as he was told.•
At length- heerbund a purchaser for' the ;Stock, and'
introduced him to a Mr. Emden, who was to give
aool. for it, • but Mr. 'Emden said he would not give
more than 2801. Brown insisted that he did not be•
have welle.and that he ought to' give 2901. 'evhich
Emden•at lest gave. Out of this money he gave
Brown 501. which he pretended to have paid for-ex-
peeceslieproeueing his place, and '6Ol. lei his bill
of law charges. He was then informed, that the pike

and desired him to come to his lodging; and bring

the business; - He attended the appointment, but
beluga tittle late; BrOwn at-. first swore it him, but
shortly after cooling, be took him by the hand and--
titi el 'have --done your business.. You 'are ap-
pinted, and your saleey• will go on:from•this day. '-
Under this idea liegave him the other epl. Finding,
however, he was not put in possession of his place,
he•wrote- tO'Brown,': who answered his-letters from
tile country. --He stated in it, very angrily, that he
would not he bothered ; that • he had no reason to
complain, espeeia;ly'as his salary was going-on; and
added, thatithii letter, .Was enough to'vex a saint,
and set angels tog,ethereby. theears. He, 'however,
expressed his _regard Abr hi, welfare, and beheeel him
to be contented for a short time, and • he LivotAd be
happy in his new. place. Firiding •So'rnany delays
intervene, he was induced to get a friend to accom-
pany him to ,see .if he really was appointed ; and
upon an inspection of the Custom-house books, he
found-that he had been 'duped. fle could never,
:see Brown afterwards, until he was apprehended last
June, near Dorking, in Surrey.
• MesSrs. ALLEY and CURWOOD, for the Defendant,

Lord EtLENEOROUGH asked if any case could be
