his enlisting into the York Bangers, from-which he
had deserted, and had returned home about throe
weeks since. Hanson, one of the; turnkeys of New-

the money taken from

suspicious money found upon the prisoner, had been
in circalation. The prisoner said he was an Officer
Of Excise, and bt:Aonged to the West India. Docks,
that he had taken the money in change of a five
pound note, and called two respeelable men to his_
charader, who had known hint many years, as an
honest man, but said he was rather given to drink-
ing. Mr. Powell said he did not know hini before
