MAKING COUNTERFEIT COIN.
William Campbell, Elizabeth Barrett, Ellen Sullivan,
and Julia Regan, were indicted for having in their posses•

stables, it appeared that the prisoners had been for a long
time suspected, and on proceeding to a house in Wentworth-
street, Whitechapel, the officers entered a room in which
the whole of the prisoners were engaged in manufacturing
counterfeit sixpences. A general struggle took place be-
tween the parties, the utmost resistance being offered. The
prisoners were finally overpowered and secured, when an
examination of the place was made. A number of plaisters•
of Paris moulds were found which were quite hot, evidently
having just been in use ; also a lot of files with white meta/
iu the teeth, and also the other necessaries for the manu-
facture of base coin.

rett, to five years, and Sullivan and Regan to four years'
