John, Dawson was tried for uttering base and
. • •
counterfeit shillings. The taus were., positively
sworn to ;• and the Prisoner delivered a. very long
narration of his adventures thraugh life, in order to-,
impress the Court with an idea of his resFaabili.-
ty, and .the eonsetpaent improbability of his corn-
!flitting, such a crime as. that which had been laid to
his charge.
4-Mrs. Eden appeared to give him a charaaer,
and',stated, that he had been n servant to her. hus-
band; that she had since that been at Riga, froM
whence she went up the Black Sea to Constariti-
flople, and returned through Poland to this Country.
-The Court desired the Lady to state when and how
long the Prisoner had been in the service of her hus-..
-band ;' when it appeared that be had been.bUt a -
-short time employed by him, and that he had left
them about two years- ago. The 'Court observed,
that neither the long story of the Prisoner,
,nor the
character given by the lady, could do -away the
fans' which had been sworn to.; he was according-
ly convicted, and ordered to be imprisoned, six
months, and to find sureties for sit, months more. .

there, and a leg in some distant place from the reit,
Their relatives and friends gathered the scattered
members, and carried thentaway in baskets: The

The quantity of powder in the corning4ttill was

that place, in the summer of 18.

'• A few Miles- fromthis city, in a village, which
consists of but four or five houses, .a house of enter-
tainment constantly afforded refreshinent for timso
travellers Vihemade it a: rest Pig place. A respect-
, able farmer, a very few evenings'since, having, been
at the Dublin market, resolved to return home early,
and left town before dinner ; having real lea 0_
village, he put up his horse at the Ton, and .ordered
Something, to. eat, His meal, &C. being finished,
and the evening corning on, he paid his km to lig,
landlord -from a parcel of notes, one of. which ho
chanAed, and, then departed on his road ho-y,,,
abdut the distance of one mile, his horse dropped a
sliae, and as
,a stnith:s forge was contiguous to this
part of the road, he dismounted, anu finding the
door closed, and the sinith-kone to bed, be knocked
until the fltirier got up,-and opened the door. This
shoe being; replaced, the traveller offered the smith
arc half-Crown piece, desiring to get the change,
which he declaredat that hour he cuald nut proeure..
The traveller feeling that he- had occi,h

tnizilt, keel; :the 'entire. The pour- sindh, atretled.
by this unexpected generosity, eyed him with cau-..
non, and questioned'hini NV;!idl rdad he had come,,.:
and Oti,being itiformed that he stopped at the vii
!age inn, asked hini if any money had been seen in
his possession iti that house ?To whi t e navelie
replied, -that he certainly. had a large sum of money .
in .his'possession ;' he immediately cautikned him to
'torn, thick to Dublin,. for, .that not two hundred'
yardS on the road before him, at a bridge, which he
deseribed, he was certain to be stopped and robbed, -
To this the traveller replied, he was weir pp-naied,
htiving his yeomanry pistols Charged in iiS holsters
The'sinith told him that if he was 'resolved to pro.
,coed, he had-better examine his arms ; the precau-
tion was attended to), and .upon opening fte pans of
the pistols, the priming of both was not only own,
out, but water appeared to gave been poured in.
The traveller was resolute, and
.understanding from
the smith (who lie had. nwit, reason-to believe war:-
really in the secret) that he .siunld be intact, d tay
One.'man the pistols were re,charged, and be
set, forward on his journey., On his an ival at dui
bridge a, fellow jumped from the hedge; and 4t,pi )1 I.g
film, demanded a large sum, 'which he sad Ei knew
.he bad about him;- the traveller .hesitated;
.drew forth his pistol, and,slitit :the robber t!aongh

similar praCtiee of plunder had been constant. The
