At the General Quarter Sessions of the peace,
held in and for the town and county of Hull, on
Thursday, William Milburn, for uttering counter-
feit money, was to be imprisoned twelve months,
to find sureties for his good behaviour 6r two
years afterwards ; and to stand committed until
such sureties shall be found.—The Public are cer-
tainly much indebted to the magistrates of that
town, for their vigilance and exertions for.appre-
hending and ultimately bringing to justice the above
William Milburn, convieted of uttering counterfeit
money :—being a hawker and pedlar of muslins,
Sze. there is every reason to believe that he has

long been in the practice of cheating the Country,
by availing himself of every opportunity in small
change, &c. to obtrude his trash (with which the
circulation abounds) upon the unwary purchaser.—
When apprehended, at his Lodgings in HA, there
were found, tied Up in a bundle which he carried
about his person, one hundred and seventy-seven
counterfeit sixpences, forty-eight shillings, fbur
seven-shilling pieces, and half a guinea ; all which
were produced in evidence by the constable who
apprehended him, and were destroyed, by order
and in presence of the Court. It is ,hoped that
this conviclion may put upon their guard, persons
(particularly those resident in the Country) who are
in the habit of dealing with those itinerant chap_
men ; and it were perhaps to he wished, for the
sake of public justice, that the punishm..mt could be
somewhat more exemplary.

vouring to hold it up, one of the fore horses flew

cular injury, except one inside passenger, who had
his head fradured, but is in a fair way of recovery.
Fortunate!)-, at the moment, the other two coaches
were. in sight, saw the accident, and immediately
came to•their assistance.
