MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Yesterday Elizabeth Saxey, a respectable married woman'
was tried for an indictment charging her with having defrauded
a Jew jeweller, named Moses Cashmore, of jewellery to the
amount of 70/. by falsely pretending that she was a single
woman. Very great interest was excited by this trial. Mr.
Martin, of Galway, appeared to give evidence as to the pri-
soner'scharacter, as well as to contradict a most important part
of the statement against her.
Moses Cashmore stated that he was a jeweller in Bevis
Marks ; knew the prisoner by the name of Emmer, and had
once presented a bill at her house. Mr. Barnet, the broker, of
Villiers-street, introduced her to him in May. Witness sent
some jewellery to her by Barnet on approbation ; the jewellery
was returned two days after; prisoner called on him next day,
said she was satisfied with the jewellery, and would give a
warrant of attorney to pay by instalments ; did not recollect
that any thing was said at that time about her being married;
afterwards she told him she was not a married woman ; witness
took the jewellery, to the amount of 701. to the house of Mr.
Isaacs, and delivered it to her there; the security was drawn up
by Mr. Isaacs' clerk, and signed by, her in the name of Emmer.
The first instalment, which was for 101. was paid, but not
punctually ; the second was not paid, and witness, after wait-
ing two or three days, left her to the mercy of his solictor.
Cross-examined by Mr.. ALLEY—Pray, Mr. 3losish, don't
you lend money ?—Lend money! I don't know what you mean..
Don't you indeed ? then you are the only Jew I ever knew
who did not know what it was to lend money. Have you not
cashed bills for the lady at the bar, and have they not been
paid ?—I never saw her, but I have had bills with her name
upon them.
Were they paid ?—Yes, they were regularly paid when due
by that person (pointing to the prisoner.)
Did you not receive them from her ?—I presented them at
Manchester buildings, arid I did not care who they were paid
by so that I got my money.
Here the prosecutor loudly declared that it was a shame tee
ask him such questions.
Mr. ALLEY—Shame! Aye, I'll shew you where the shame
lies before we part to-day. Is your friend Barnet here ?—.l
don't know.—lf he is let him leave the Court.
" Oh," cried Moses, " I am not at all alarmed."
CHAIR3IAN—That's very improper language to a Coun-
sel. What do you mean by it?
Moses—l meant no offence, but my temper is rather warm,
and Mr. Alley provokes me.
CHAIRMAN—You must keep yourself within the bounds of
decency, whatever your temper may be, and answer the ques-
tions put to you.
Mr. ALLEY here produced 18 bills of exchange, which he
said hid been indorsed over from the prisoner to the prosecutor
and regularly paid. Ile handed them to the witness, and askelit
him whether he knew them ?

Witness acknowledged that he knew some of them, and that
they had passed through his hands, and been paid regnlarlY.
Mr. ALL-Ey—Were not judgment and execution taken out
the day after the instalment became due, and was not the officer
put in possession on that day ?
1 can't say—l don't know ; I left it all to my solicitor—he
did what he thoughfproper.
Were not you in the house on that day ?
No, not until I. went with a warrant froth the Lord Mayor to
apprehend her.
Who stole her affidavit from the Chief Justice's chambers ?
[This question was overruled].
Mi. ALLEY then sheaved the witness an affidavit, and asked
him whether he knew it ? Witness declared that he did not ,
think he ever saw it before. " What ? you don't mein to tell
me you can't see what you , write ; is not that your writing
Yes. Then y.ou must have seen it. Did you know the situa-
tion of the defendant ? Yes, btit I never saw her.—Did you sell
her those jewels for her own wear ? Yes, I did—What !
701. worth of jewels for her own wear, although you discounted
several small bills for her ? I never discounted bills for her ; I
only gave her valuable consideration for them, partly goods,
partly money.—And you don't call that discounting ! Now I
ask you, did not Barnet ask you to,lend her 701. in cash ; and
did you say you could not, but would let her have goads on
which she.could raise the money ? Never.—Have you putllar-
net's name on the back of the bill ? No, I hardlyknow whether
I could trust myself to him.—And yet you trusted your jewels
to him !—Witness then swore that he never told Mr. Martin,
of Galway, that he was not bound 'over tp prosecute her, in
yjtilre,saisprodofuthceedktihned a' fffidavit
order that he might make terms with her; neither did he ever
enaCplermriskeotutowerth,nes'maCktheinianegf that she was a married woman,
allsalealld:lllpern.tboEttillielis'trhs.trength of which the proceedings against her were
rendered unavailing, upon her paying 30f. into Court. The
affidavit had been removed from the Chambers, but by whom
witnessodid not know; it was returned on Monday ; it stated
that the prisoner was married
,to a Gentleman named Saxey,
whom she was obliged to leave some years ago, and that'she
changed to her former name to avoid him ; that she un-
fortunately had dealings with Barnet, who Charged , her
exorbitantly ; That he knew she was a'married woman, and so
did all who knew het; that be introduced her to the prosecu=
tor, who refused to lend her 701. which she asked for, but
offered her jewellery to that amount; that Barnet got the
jewellery, but gave her no more than 301.
. Mr. ALLEY, for the defence, said the poor woman " wan the
victim of the foulest conspiracy, and called several xespectable
witnesses,- who proied that she was known to be a married wo-
man, to have gone by the name of Emmer for years, and borne
an excellent character. •
.31r. Map*, of thilWay," knew her to be a good character.—
The prosecutor, came to Mm and" told him that he was not
bound over to prosecute her ' that he might make terms or not
with her ; would have bailed her had he .not thought the 301.
paid into Court adequate:
The Cnitastax-said there were no grounds for a Charge of
fraud, and the prisoner was immediately oequittid.
