in all the different stages of a certain Disease, which
it elledually _cures, and eradicates from the habit, with.
out exciting the p.Miful feelings and exposure thst

in any degree, or even requiring contine:ncia from busi-

Sexes they prove a never-tailing Restoratiye, whether the
debdity is produced by too free use of Mercury, by illicit

and those, going abroad, they cannot be recommended too
strongly, as they-will receive a safe, speedy, and complete

Last week a shocking outrage was committed at
Alton, Hants. A young woman, who had been with
two children to school, was returning with some
quor for the.family with which she lived servant,
when a gang of gypsies, known in that country by
the name of the Stanleys, stopped her. A female
belonging to the gang first stripped all the cloaths off
• her back, and left her exposers to the inclemency of
the weather. Tito poor girl, in that situaticin begged
hard for some part of her dress to cover her naked-
ness, but instead of compliance With her request, 'she
received from the brutal miscreants several severe
wounds in different parts of her body; One of the
wretches threatened to cut off her breast, .-and aCtu-
alty inflicted a deep wound for that purpose. After
remaining there in a most shocking state, a consider-
able time, she was discovered by some servants be-
longing to a farmer, and by them conveyed to her
abode in the vicinity of Alton.

?POET TO HIS ERA'. L.LENdt THE MI IS c

jj Isle d'Aix, C.lO, 18r i.
MotcSE.MNEuft—t had the honour, in my letter
of the 28'4i:inst. to announce the taking five boats
belonging to the English squadrons which I supposed
were manned by 100 men ; there were 118 on
board them. A violent gale of wind, which emu,
menced immediately after this affair, having dis.
persed my boats, I did not know the details un-
til last night I hasten to transmit them to your Et-
celleney.
The Enseigne de Vaisseau, M. Constantin, com-
manded a•boat with 22 risen, with which he attack-
ed one manned with 30, at the moment the enemy's
division, which:railied, was coming to protest. - them.
This officer had engaged. with his swivels and inns-
kets,-but fearing the enemy should escape
ordered him to be laid on board. The English, con-
fident in their superiority of number, rushei to thet
boarding, hot M. Constantin jumped among, and
drove them to the Opposite side of their boat, whcti
this movement caused to fill ; the French gained
(-heir boat, and succeeded in saving 26 men, one of
whom was a volunteer, and another a surgeon.--,-
The officer commanding the ,boat was killed, and 3
men dangerously wounded. During this aetion the-
three gnn-boats attacked the four other beats, alt
armed with carronades, swivels, and muskets, the
Lieutenant de Vaisseau, Dui i, keeping at the same
time. in die( k•theEngl,sh brig, which endeavoUred
to protect the boats, took one with 13 meni_ two of
%%110 were volunteers ; the three others, annoyed
by my boat, commanded by the volunteer of the first
class, Purge, pierced with bullets, and nearly sink-
ing, arrived upon the coast, and made pri'oners the
crews-amounting to s-venty men, one of whom was
was an office r, and five voliunteers. The result of
this affair, Monseigneur, is, the taking of five boats
and 118 men; two of which are officers, etOtt vo-
lunteers and one surgeon. Out of this number, one
officer and four sailors have been killed, two others
died immediately after, and five temairt dangerously
wounded. It is likewise to be supposed, that int
the boats pierced with bullets, there must have'
been some men-killed, who- were thrown into the
tea..

TRIAL OF MR. BENJAMIN WALSH, M. P. FOR.

LARCENY.

At ten o'clock, the prisoner was' ord4edlo
oar, and entered the dock, attended by tWOreot Ms
friends. He was dressed• in black, .and appeared
extremely weak and dejcded; and after the Jury
were Sworn, was; at his own request, indulged with
a Chair daring his trial.
i The indictment was hen read by the-Clerk of the
4,rraigns. It consisted of seven counts, charging
the crime alleged in different ways, but all ranging
under Iwo heads : the first charging the prisoner
with having on,the sth of December, 1811, at St.
bonstan's in the West, feloniously stolen a cheepte,
or bill of ,exchange, from Sir Thomas. Plonser,
hight, upon the banking-house of Messrs, GoSs.'jog and Co. ()land fur the value of 22,1001. the
4 Property of t.lie said Sir Thomas Plomer, Knight ;
and under the second head, charging the prisoner
With feloniously stealing twenty-two Bank-notes,
value 10:001. each, and one Bank •note, value 2001.
She property of the said Sir T. Plomer.
11,Ir. ABBOTT opened the pleadings.
Air. GARROW followed, in support of the prose-
cution. After some prefatory observations, and
after beseeching the Jury to dismiss from their minds
all the anticipating reports of this transaction with
Which the press had teemed, reports which, in the
present state of the press, the public called for, and
necessarily,_ posses,ed ; for so great a Hessing as the 1
`liberty of that engine could not be without its alloy,
he proceeded to narrate the circumstances which led
to the offence with which the prisoner was charged.
The family of Mt.. Walsh had been long acquainted
With that of Sir Thomas Plomer, whose father was
a Director of the Bank of 'England, and who had it
12,1 his power materially to promote the interests of
Lue prisOner. He had done so ; and the prisoner,
by the sad return which he made to Sir Thomas for
thei_ benefits which he had received from his firnily,
"id added. ingratitude to felony. The prisoner
''Pas by trade a stock-broker ; and the prosecutor,
tn consequence of his personal knowledge of him,
had always
employed him to traesad his stock-busi-
ss, placing in him the most implicit confidence.
During the last year Sir T. P. purchased an estate ;
the completion of which purchase he was to pay
verY considerable sum of money, to provide which,
became necessary that he should sell out stock.
e communicated the situation he was in to the pris
84er, as Iris broker, who at first advised him not to
Sell out till he actually wattled the money ; but who,
uPoll deeper consideration, urged the prosecutor to
sell a' once, ih'ough be might not immediately want'
the money, for that it ,was the opinion 'of many in,
sliligent persons that the 3 per cents. would yety-
'°nly fall as low as 50. The.prosecutor told the
Prisoner that it was quite uncertain when he sktitald
want the money, and that it was not likely the title
1° the estate would be perfeded till Christmas : the
Prisoner nevertheless persisted in - his advice to the
Pr°sceutor to srli then, at all events ; and the pro-
s„e etlior, after consulting another mercantile trier de e"greed to sell out.. Here the learner! Counsel ob-
...7rved, that it would be necessary footwork to two or
three d nes, as regarding the-law and he fads of ill-
' base. On N0v.28 th the prosecutor gave the prisoner
e authority to sell; and the question then occurred,.
what be should be done with the produce till it should
Mwanted—whether to place it in the hands of
essrs. Goslings and Sharpe, the prosecutor's bank-
er, or to lay it out in Exchequer Bills. The pri-
Inner advised the latter ; and, as Mr. Garrow con-
tended, with a pretneditated view to the perpetra-
of the felony with which he stood charged.- On
}!le 2911), which was Friday, the prosecutor was ,to
'aye made the transfer of the stock; but on the
trevieus day, Thursday' the 28th, he was infernierij
,Y the prisoner, that he had entered into a contras ;
;44 the sale of the stock, but that it could not he
irartsferred till the Wednesday or Thursday folliaw-
ill)g. sie Thomas Plomer wishing to dispa.:ch the
isiness out of hand, selected the earlier of these
dal
fs, (Wednesday), to attend and make the trans-
arid on Wednesday, the 4th of December, the
transfer was made. 'Sir Thomas immediately ex-
teC'ted that Exchequer Bills for the amount would
re deposited with his bankers ; but he was in-
,°4lled, that the bills were not ready, and the
i'lnbtley was therefore deposited with the bankers,.
ss3lead of the bills, and till they should be ready.—
",
b n Thursday,_ sth of December, the prisoner
a et.•
fo 'Red a cheque from the prosecutor for 22,.200r,
thr the eXpress and sole , purpoSe of purcha4go
ez,e's,,e Exchequer bills, to be delivered either
r Thomas Planat.r or to his bankers, Messrs.
sou,Blings and Sharpe. Previously to the pri-
t,:ler's receiving the actual ant hority to make the
ti"nSfer of this stock, he had had converse-
41'8 With Mr. De Berdt, relative to the purchase
btlat sum of 10,0001. or 12,0001. American stock ;
pri3othis contract was' not entered into,' before the
lq ner knew that Sir 'l'. P. would have occasiou
11, sell out a large sour of money._ On the very day
paid lie got possession of the prosecutor's cheque, he
Id Mr. De Berdt f 1,0001. for American stock, out
111 the money he had received from the produce of
cheque upon Messrs. Goslings and Sharpe;
tthlinh money he received from Sir T. P. fur no
titer trust or authority, but those of purchasing
tielteques Bills for the Solicitor-General. Upon
Ale Prisoner's treaty with Mr. De Berdt, for the
,:lerican stock, a question was put by tire latter,
scloether the stock was intended to be held by a per-
resident in England, or by one intendigg_to
itt-Part for America; an() the prisoner stated, !that!
he, stock should be for a person of the latter; de-e
t.'Ption. On this day, too, the prisoner paid to
brother, Mr. Joseph Walsh, a soul of 1004 or •
C°,ol, other part of the produce of the prosecu-
-8 cheque, and, deposited in the hands of Mr.
(of the house of Thompson, Clarke, and Co.
runl'et's), the brother-in-law of the prisoner, a for-
eMr sn!ri of 4001. for the immediate benefit of his fa-
- ',Y. On the sante day, too, he paid to Mr. Fearn, a
":(Istnith, in Cornhill, a sum of money for Portu-
haa,Pieces of money, for the furnishing of which he
previously'contraded with Mr. Fearn. In the
afternoon of this same Thursday, the prisoner re-
-I',rtied to the prosecutor's chambers, andeinfqrthed

town. The Solicitor-General might, however,
. depend upon their . being depoSited with Messrs.
Goslings ‘On the ,Monday following ;. and ,it had
been agreed, that the interest of them should ac-
crue to Sir Thomas from that Thursday. An appoint-
ment between the prosecutor and the prisoner was
accordingly made, to draw out the d:fference of the
'22,0001. from Messrs. Gosling's on the Saturday fol-
lowing; and the prisoner took his leave. It occurred
to Sir Thomas, after the prisoner had left him, to walk
down to Messrs. Goslings, and to-,see that all was
right ; and there he found that the Exchequer Bills
had been deposited, but no money. Inquiry after
the prisoner was immediately set on foot, and it was
found-that he had left London on that very evening
by the Falmouth mail, in which he had .previously
taken his place, by a name which stood at the head
rif the list, the coach being full. He was imme-
diately
pursued by Sir Thomas's Solicitor, and a
Bow-street Officer ; and on the following Monday
morning, he was met at Falmouth. Here he de-
livered up his American stock receipts for 10,5001.
and his doubloons to Sir Thomas, and himself to.
justice.
so.
The Learned Counsel was apprised, that attempts
would be made to excite doubts upon the law of
'this case, and yet it clearly amounted to felony, the
felonious intention being made manifest long be-
fore the commission of the larceny. The prisoner
resided at Hackney, and left that place for LOU-
don at ten o'clock on the Thirrday morning in
question,' by the stage. He brought a portmanteau
with him, which he entrusted' to the charge of
Mr. Webb, a hosier, in Threadneedle-street, where
the stage sat him down. He told Mr. Webb he was
going out of town for a few days, and should want a
quantify of warm boot-siockings,which he afterwards
bought of him,. together with tour night-caps. At
Falmouth, he stated to Mr. Jenkins, the prosecutor's
solicitor, that his intention was to have gone to Lis-
bon by the next packet, and thence, as opportunity
might offer, to America ; as, indeed, his possession
of the doubloons and American stock fully proved :
which latter, it would be recolle&cd lie stated to Mr.
De Berdt, was wanted for one about to reside there.
The use Mr. Garrow made of this, was to prove that
at the time the prisoner received the prosecutor's
banknotes at Messrs. Goslings, he intended to steal
them, or to convert them illegally to his own use,
without the authority of their proprietor. The pri-
soner had stated a control with Messrs. Cootts's
broker, which had not been entered into ; had de-
elated himself to hake made a 'deposit which had •
been paid; and had made an appoiromi'ent for Satur-
day with the intention of taking his :departure on
the previous Thursday. He had purchased si,merican
.stock, for *which Le had no funds of his own to pay ;
he had bought foreign coin with the manifest into)-
, tion of going to Lisbon ; and there could be no doubt
that he :.ad always the felonious purpose in his mind,
arc' had long to mired his plan. Did the July want
more than this, the prisoner had furnished them
with it. His letters written alter his departure
would shew t I,e, progress of his mind neon. the sub-
ycr, and would r-v ince a very early intention to de-
fraud somebody ; the object having first been a Mr.
O. whose mercenary habits would suffer no body to
pity his loss. Sir T. P's money came, however, in
the prisoner's way; and 'though his liberality _of
mind gave him the eery opposite character to that
of Mr. O. yet his ample fortune would render the.
loss nnsuscepible by him. There was also another
letter- to the prisoner's wife, in which he informed
her, that he had well provided himself with linen
for a longer journey than that which he gave out
to some people, and accounted to her for what she
might miss from his drawers. Still' if any dif-
culty should occur upon the law 'of this case, the
Learned Counsel had no doubt but his Lordship
would permit it to be discussed in the most so-
lemn manner, at a future opportunity, upon time
taken for the discussion. MO. Garrow, however,
thought the law clear, upon the oldest authorities,
that this was larceny, simple larceny, without the
aggravation o stealing from the person, dwelling-
house, or upon the highway. The definition of
larceny was the felonious taking of personal chattels
against the will 0-11-d without the consent of the pro-
prietor. One of the first cases in which the Learn-
ed Counsel was employed, -recognised the old law
upon this subjeti. It was the case of J. H. Aickles,
a money-lender, who was tried for stealing a bill of
exchange of 1001. value, the property of S. Edwards.
Aickles undertook to get this bill discounted for Ed-
. wards; and under pretence of taking it to a neigh-
bouring street for that purpose, ran away with it,
.and was prosecuted fur the felony. It was contend-
ed by the present Learned Recorder, who was then
Counsel for the prisoner, that this did not constitute
felony ; and the question was made, what was the
intention 91 the pr isoner in receiving the bill; if with,
a felonious intention to convert it to his own use, as
the Jury found upon a special verdid, it was decided
by all the Judges to be felony. In that case, there
was no declaration on the part o(t he prisoner by letter
that he had made preparations to depart for a distahf :
country ; there was no provision of American stock,
or of Lisbon doubloons : there was only the fa6t of
the prisoner's withdrawing himself with the bill:
and upon the decision of all the Judges he was trans-
ported. With the rest of his life the learned Coun-
sel had nothing to do. The present charge did not
affect the life of the prisoner at the.\bar ; and the
qdestion was, whe her he did not all along intend
feloniously to convert the 'prosecutor's money.
- Had the Jury any doubt that the prisoner's mind
was big with that intention when he negociated the
purchase of the Ametican stock with Mr. De Berdt,
—when he purchased the doubloons,—when he pro- ,
.vided himself with the portmanteau and quantity of
linen• far a long absence ? His letters would shew
that he entertained the purpose, probably as early as
'the time when he threatened Thomas with the fall
of the funds as low as 50 ; and advised him, that
he had better sell out at once. It might be said,
that the prisoner actually bought 6,0001. Excite!.
quer Bills, and therefore could not ~ have in-
tended, to.convert. the whole : but this was evidently
done, to conceal his purpose: it was necessary:to his
fraud upon the remainder. If the prisoner h:ti nai
returned to the prosecutor with any ExchequcAßllls
on the Thursday, suspicion would have bees alive
instantly, and every mail-coach and expeltion
would-have been searched that set out from London
'net night.. The right appropriation of 6,0001...wa5.
necessary to lull Sir Thomas into a security, f; fin
which he was not exile led to wake till the S4tircJay '
I or Monday following. And it was, inde4l,llle

Mere accident of his walking doWn Mestit. Cos;
ling's on the Thursday, and asking therri the sti-
-1 rfitious question, " Has Mr. Walsh paid in
the Exchequer Bills, and the money too ?" that
led to the immediate discovery of the W! ale
fraud. The learned Counsel concluded by saying,
that he could see nothing in this case which dis-
anguished it from all former ones, except its greater
strength ; and his Lordship would either decide the
law now, or reserve the point, as he-should set) best.
Sir T. Plomer was then examined. He stated, that
for many years past he had employed the prisoner
as his stock-broker. In the course of last summer
he made a contra& for the purchase of a conAlderable
estate, and informed Mr. Walsh of the circuinitance,
and that he shoutd be obliged to complete the pur-
chase by Michaelmas. In consequence of which,
he consulted with Mr. W. upon the propriety of
selling a large quantity of stock in the furlds, for
'the purpose of meeting the occasion. Mr. W. how.:
ever, advised him not to sell so soon, as there was a
prospe& of a considerable rise in the funds, and the
later the sale was postponed the better. As the
title to the estate which he intended to purchase was
not made out, he was not in such a hurry, and there-
fore waited until Mr. W. himself, about the middle
of November, urged him strongly to sell otu his
stock ; giving him, as a reason, that the fundsseould
fall. He complied wit h his suggestions; but as the con•
treat for the estate was not sufficiently forward tor_
completion, he suggested the idea of laying out the
money, which would otherwise lie idle, in the pur-
chase of Exchequer Bills. He had given a written
permission to the prisoner on the 28th of Novem-
ber, to sell out his stock ; and a subsequent day (vas
fixed by MI% W. for him to attend at his office, for
the purpose of transferring the stock. He should
not have sold out so soon, but for the repeated soli-
citations of Mr. W. When the stock was sold Out,
he received am account of the produce from the pri-
soner, which he left him to pay into Messrs. Gos.
hng and Co's, (the witness's bankers), and which he
said he would do. It- was the .4:h of December that._
he went into the city to transfer the stock: The ,
prisoner said he would, call next morning at hiS
chambers, in Lincoln.inn•square, and receive -a
check for the money, which he did,- and witness
gave him a check on Messrs. Gosling for 22,2001.
If was given for no other purpose titan to purchase '
Exchequer Bills, which prisoner promised to bring to
him at -4 o'clock on the sth Dec. The-prisoner ac-
cordingly cabled next day, about half-past four or a
gnat ter before five. He seemed flurried ,and out of
breath, and complained of being afflicted with an
asthma, of which indeed his father-had died. Wit-
tiess
requiested him to sit down and recover himself.
before he proceeded to business; and shortly after:
ward, the prisoner produced alsaper containing an
account of Exchequer Bills amounting to Mirth
which he said he had deposited at Messrs. Go,lings,
and added that. he had contracted for the amount of
15,5001.- more with Mr. Trotter, the broker of
Messrs. Coutts, 'which he said could not deli-
vered to him on that day, as they were locked up
in a drawer at Messrs. Coutts's house; but that they
would be delivered to him on Saturday the 7th, and
said that he should,'on that day, call on the witness
for his check for the amount on his bankers, where
the prisoner then said he 'bad deposited the ha-
lance of the 22,000 i. after eying for the former
bills, the banker's receipt for which bills he gave
the witness, but not for the money ; and after
some friendly and familiar inquiries respecting Sir
T. P.'s family, went away. Sit 'l'. on his way
home to dinner, called in at his bankers', and, on
inquiring there, rather from accident than any sus-
picion, found the Exchequer Bills had been lodged
there, but no money. Witness, rather surprised at'
this circumstance, compared with the prisoner's de-
claration, called next morning at his office, in An-
gel-court, but was told he was out. Witness never
saw him afterwards wstil-he was in custody at Bow-
street. On the Saturday morning following, there )
was a letter brought, to him by Mr. Atwright, the
prisoner's clerk, accompanied by Mr. Tdson, a pro-
fessional gentleman ; which letter stated, that Mr.
Coutts's broker, Mr. Trotter, would not come to
town until Monday, and therefore the Exchequer
Bills could not be deltverederil then; and that the
prisbner had stated to the ' broker, that Monday
would be a vet y inconvenient day for the witness;
but upon his assuring him that the interest should
commence from the Thursday preceding, he agreed
to the day, and said _he shotild call for Sir Thomas
at half-past three on Monday.
- Several letters were now put in from the prisoner,
to his clerk., Mr. Atwright-, to Mr. Clarke, his bro-
ther-in-law, to his brother, and:others; which the
witness identified to he the hand-WyWng of the pri-
soner.

The witness was then cross-examined by M.

Q. It appears, Sir, that you placed implicit confi-
dence in the prisoner at the bar ?-11'. Yes.
1 believe you have done so for a considerable
time ?—l' have, in the purchase and sale of stock..
~
• He was a stock-broker by trade ?•-•-•He was.
'You recollea whether the proposal to ,purchase
Exchequer Bills came from you originally, as a ques-
'tion upon which you took your own opinion, or was
it his suggestion ?—lt is very likely it might be my
own suggestion; I certainly told him I did not want the
money., but that something might be' done with it in
the intermediate time, between the sale of the stock.
and the completion of my purchase of an estate; or
else the money must lie idle at the b;mker's. I told
him repeatedly I was not in want of the money,
and I asked him whether it would not be well to
.vest it in Exchequer Bills, in the ioterim ; and lie
said it certainly. would.
Do you know, when the money was.receivert for;
.the sale of the stock, whether he immediately paid
the produce into the hands of }'our bankers, or with
'a draft upon his own banker ?—That does not fall
within my own knowledge ; but I have heard that
he paid it with his own check upon another banker.
I presume, then, he lodged. the money at his
banker's, and paid it to your's by means of a check
"on his own ?—I understand that he did so in great
part ; but that there was 2701. short of the v hole
sum which he paid by another check.
Ip this transaction, he was , engaged for the sale
of stock, in the way of his trade, as a stock-broker ?

You have stated that .when you gave him the
check for 22,2001. the only object you had in view
was to lay it out in the purchase of. Exchequer
Bills ?-7—ye,

Du you recollect giving him any particular in.

Here the examination of the prosecutor closed,
and he retired.

Now the letters hefore-mantion4d in the hand-.
writi2ig of the- prisoner were read. Theywere
chiefly &retied to hi-Orr-other, to his brother-in-law,
-and'his clerk. 'They,are rather too long for repen-
fion-liefe;' but their ptirport, however, so far as
they bore upon this case, was to state, tha.t the mu-
. ti%estswltjvh.- indUced bitrk to this ad of embezzle,.
tript, and to abscond farm the country; were
tli ruinous and hopeless state of his atLiirs, the
dread of 'plunging into poverty and wait a helm-
,ed wife, in the last few days of her prttnancy,
atieseven ehildien ; and the desperate determina-
tion of securing some meaus`for their manienance.
They expressed the deepest sorrow and remorse for
having thus robbed Sir T. P. •of so ()inch property,
and thereby aggravated the crime of fraud by ingra-
titude and' treachery to a confidential .and generous
friend, to'Whom lie owed many signal acts offriend-
ship 'and-':fisiistance ; but stating, that he. ,rasher
cljoso the fraud on Sir T. P. whose afii-
ple . fortunFwould enable-, him to sustain and.
011-81.14) Ow loss with little difficulty, than.
o(mm/tilers' whom it. might rain. And 'in one
of thrise letters; addressed to Sir T. P. himself, dated
the 7th of, December, he acknowledges his -cri•
minality and ingratitude ; explains his motives ;
professes the deepest -remorse; throws himself t n
his clemency, and promises to repay him if ever he
should possess the means. •

In one of those letters to his brother, dated from
Falmouth, -dfter avowing his plan for quilting the
country, and expressing his hove of a speedy change
of wind, favourable to 'his departure in the Lisbon
packet, he requested his brother to address him by
the name of Bryan Wallace; and also requests him
to call on Mr. warn, silversmith, in Cornhill, frotn
whom he had purchased, a qulntily of doubloons,
to request he might keep the matter secret. ,
Wirnesses were next produced to carry on the
chain of evidence.

Wm. Hu.wings, clerk to Messrs Gosling, Fleet-
street : he•probed the payment and numbers of
22 one-thousand pounds Bank notes for Sir Thomas
Plomer's check, to Mr. Walsh himself; and also
prov,ecti haying giCen the prisoner a receipt for six
thouiand pounds in Ei(chequt-r Bills, which ha
'lodged on the sth of December, for Sir Thom s ;
and that he had paid in no other security nor money
at the time.

William Harman, stock-broker, proved that he
had sold the prisoner Exchequer Bills to it e amount
of 60001. and India BDnds to- the amount of 15001.
and was paid by him with eight one-thousand
pound notes, tallying in numbers with the termer
list ;this witness denied that the prisoner spoke to
him for any other E'schequer Bills, and he never
kneW any dittiCulty in procuring such B Its to the
ampAtit •i1ff2.54,0001. on any day.
Mr. Peupis.De Berdt, of the house of Dearman,
anate.' ,brokers, proved, that previous to the
29Ifigil'Iveinher, the prisoner called on. him, and
hat] several conversations respecting the purchasing
ten or 1 1,000!. worth of American Stock; which
Mr.'Walsh'said was not for a capitalist in this coun-
try, but for a person going to reside in America.—
On the 2gth of November the prisoner called at
his office, and gave his _final_order for the purchase
of the stock of I 1,0001. ; and on Thursday, the
.sth of December, witness called at the pr soner's
office, and received eleven one-thousand pound
Bank-notes, to lying in nurnbeis with those paid by
Mr. Gosling. The certificates of the stock surren•
dered by the prisoner at Falmouth, were then pro•
duced, and poved by the witness.' .
Mr. Joseph Walsh, of the Temple, the prison;.'ii
brother, said, that the prisoner paid to _him on the
stlr of December, a debt of l i 991. which. he had
owed :him for some time, and for which be bad
urged him- several days previously ; part of the
payment was a Bank-note of 10001. the number of
which was afterwards proved to be one of those
received that day by the prisoner, at Messrs. Gos.

Mi., Thomas Clarke, the prisoner's brother-in-
f)roved,.that, on the sth of December he re-
ceived froin. the prisoner a Bank-note-for Lowit:
which proved to be one of the not,s paid to
.the
prisoner by Gosling and Co. and out of which the
witness gave him (ioul. ; the remainder, as appeared
by the letters, to be left for certain family purpos'es

"Henry Atwright, the•prisoner's clerk, proved his

note of the 5t h of December, for which, by the
prisoner's desire, he obtained change in smallei
- notes at the Batik of -England, and out of which he
