3. THE DOCTRINE OF UNIVERSAL PARDON
Considered and Refuted, in a Series of Sermons. With
Notes Critical and Explanatory.
" This volume is, as might be expected from the high
name of the author, the most important work that has
been published on the subject of the Row Heresy. We
are not sorry that a man of real talent like Dr. Thomson,
should take up the matter in band, and put an end at
once to this petty warfare. To say that those Sermons
contain a satisfactory refutation of the doctrine of Univer-
sal Pardon, is saying very little, one-third of the texts ad-
duced, and one-tenth part of the reasoning, would have
been sufficient for this purpose—what we principally ad-
mire in them is the clearness, unhampered with verbiage,
and unnecessary ornament, with which the author pur-
sues his argument."—Edinburgh Literary Journal,

LENT ASSIZES.- (RECEIVED THIS DAY.:

LANCASTER, MiRcH 10.

Michael Carroll, aged 34, stood indicted for having,
on the sth of December last, maliciously and unlawfully
stabbed and wounded Henry Newali and ethers at War-
rington.—The prisoner was acquitted.
Sarah Martin, aged 28, and Martin Collins, aged
45, stood indicted, the former for uttering at Macclesfield,
on the 21st of September, a forged bank note, purporting
to be a bank note of the Wirksworth and Ashbourne
Bank, for the sum of 51., knowing the same to be forged,
and the latter for aiding, assisting, the said Sarah Martin
in the uttering of the said note.
Mr. COURTENAY and Sir G. A. Lzwit; conducted
the case for the prosecution, which was instituted by the
Association of Bankers for the prevention of forgery.
Mr. ARMSTRONG conducted the defence for the pri-
soner, Martin, and Mr. COTTINGRAM that of the prisoner
Collins.

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner Martin
passed several notes of the Wirksworth Bank at Man-
chester and Macclesfield, and although, when she passed
one 51. note in Macclesfield, the prisoner Martin was
with her at the Bull's Head inn in that town, he did
not go to the shop where she uttered the note, but re-
mained at the inn in a room, the window of which com-
manded a view of the shop where the note was uttered.
James Wilson—l am a prisoner in the Castle of Lan-
caster, upon a charge connected with forged notes ; I
have for the last eight or nine years known Collins, who
resides in Manchester ; I have known the woman for a
few months, she resides with Collins as his wife ; on the
Sth or 9th of September last I was at Collins's house, and
he asked me, in the presence of the prisoner Martin, whe-
ther I had any of the Wirksworth notes ready, I said I
believed they were, but I was not sure; I knew what he
meant by " ready," as I had some conversation with him
upon the subject before that day. I called upon him in
August, and he produced one of the Wirksworth notes,
saying that he wanted something of that sort engraved.
When I called, on the Sth or 9th of September, he said
he wanted some immediately, and I said I would go and•
see if any were ready, and I asked him how many he
wanted. After some hesitation, he said he wanted half a
dozen, and asked the price of them. I said the price
of five-pound notes was 255. a piece. He then told
the woman, who had heard all that had passed, to
go up stairs, and bring down money to pay for the
six notes, and she went up stairs and brought down five
sovereigns and ten shillings in silver, which she gave me.
I procured the six notes, and gave them to Collins, in his
own house, in the presence of the prisoner Martin. In
the evening I again saw Sarah Mar tin at Collins's house,
but Collins was not there. She took me to the door of
the house, and told me she had that day paid away two of
the notes, and that she wanted another half-dozen. She
then went with me to a house where I procured her an-
other half dozen, and she paid me V. Ss., and said that
she should give me two shillings more on the follow-
ing day. I again saw the prisoners during the month
of September, and they told me that on the following
morning they :were going on a journey to Maccles-
field and Birmingham to put away the notes. On
some day in that month, after the 24th of September, I
again saw the prisoners at Collins's house, and in a room
of that house there were a quantity of articles, which
Martin told me they bad bought whilst they were
on the journey, and she said that they had paid away
six notes in Macclesfield and six in Birmingham, and that
they had bought some forged notes on their journey, and
that the articles in the room (which consisted of hard-
ware, work-boxes, rings, silks, and combs) were purchased
with the forged notes.
Cross-examined by Mr. ARMSTRONG—I was originally
COMA Witilufacturer. 1 was committed to Lancaster

Castle upon a oharge of forgery, and I expect to get off
by being a witness, but I have never been told that if I
gave evidence I shall not be prosecuted. This is not the
first time that I have been in a gaol, but I have not to
my knowledge been charged above two or three times with
any forgery before this. The officers have come
after me upon two other occasions when a forged one
pound note was found in my warehouse. I have never before
appeared in the witness box against the prisoner, but I
have been twice at the bar as a prisoner. Upon the
first occasion I was tried for concealing 5007. from my
creditors when I was made a bankrupt, and was sentenced
to three years' imprisonment; the second time I wan tried
I was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, but of
that charge I was innocent. The fact was, that
I was in company with a person who had passed
the coin, and when he was apprehended the officers
came to the room where I was, and found ten
counterfeit sovereigns, which the officer falsely swore be
had seen me throw away. For that offence I was sen-
tenced to two years' imprisonment, and I think that was
quite sufficient..—(Laughter.)
During the greater part of the time that this witness
was giving evidence a smile played upon his countenance.
Mr. Charles Arkwright, a partner in the banking-house
of Thomas Arkwright and Co., of Wirksworth, proved
that the notes produced were forgeries.
The prisOners having been called on for their defence,
The prisoner Martin put in a written paper, stating
that she had been married above eleven years ago at
Beaumaris, in Wales ; that her husband deserted her
about three years ago, and that she then became Collins's
servant, at the wages of 2s. 6d. a week ; that she knew
nothing of tho notes being forged, and that the articles she
purchased with the notes were for the use of Collins and
his family of children. .

Collins said he should leave his defence to his Counsel.

His Lordship summed up, and the Jury having retired
a short time found both prisoners Guilty, but recom-
mended Martin to mercy, upon the ground that she bad
been the dupe of Wilson (the informer), and Collins.
His LORDSHIP declined passing sentence, as there were
several other indictments against Collins.
