street in answer to the advertisement. Witness received
a letter in answer to it. That letter witness has not now
in his possession; hes looked for it, but cannot And it,
The name of Morton was mentioned several times by the
prisoner during the conversation at the Swan LW-. The
prisoner said he was sorry Mr, Mot ton vuuP. not attend
himself, and that he had been ohlt'ea to send him (the
prisoner). Never saw Mr. Mr.',.ton or anybody else about
this business, except the prisoner. It was the prisoner
who proposed to make the bills for 5001. each, and he
put the figures 5001. on each stamp. The bills produced
are some of the papers which witness accepted. Witness's
attention was first called to the omission of his name to
the acceptance of the bills by a letter signed " T. Morton."
The letter produced is the one witness received.
George Sharp examined by Mr. CLARKSON-.--Ii an
attorney, and knows the prisoner, and has seen him
write, and received many letters from him. The letter
produced is, to witness's belief, in the handwriting of the
prisoner, so also is the manuscript advertisement, but both
are rather in a feigned style of writing.
The Clerk of the Arraigns then read the first letter,which
was to the ellect that '6 in consequence of some irregula-
;ity whieh took place between us when last here, I wish
to see you." Signed, T. Morton,
Mr. Astley recalled—ln consequence of that letter wit-
ness saw the prisoner, who mentioned that witness had
omitted to sign his name on the paper which the prisoner
produced. This was several days afar the first interview,
and witness signed them, and returned them so signed,
to the prisoner, who said he would send the money
in two or three days by the mail. The v:oaai " accepted"
was also written by witness at tl.:n time he signed his name
at the second interview. Witness never received a farthing
of the met;ey promised to be sent, and wrote again to
Vulversity-s reet, addressed to Mr. Morton, ;aid received
these three letters in reply.
The letters were then put in and read, desiring the
prosecutor, in case of any application being made to Kira,
to say Olt:A the acceptances were in his hand.wi icing, and
nothing more. Another letter, 35, University-street, sth
Aug.. 1833, signed " J. Hart," and was to the effect that
lie was unable to conclude the business until the latter end
of the week, and concluded by making another appointment

o Inert the prosecutOr at Houghton. The third letter
was also dated 35, University.itreet, 9th Aug., 1833,
4igned '' T. Morton," stating that Co wiles to Hough ou
vere all full, and deferring tbe. appointment a few d
longer.

Examination rein nfd—Tn r(usequene. of reciv'ng
i letter from a person named Dunsdale. Witness came to
town and went to 35, University-street, and could hear no-
king of Mr. Morton, except that a person of that name had

l'aed, his bankers. Never saw the prisoner until very
ately since witness stw him at Naughton, but has had a
e irch made after him. Five bills have been returned with
ait witness paying a farthing for them. Does not know
t here the other five are, as they have never been returned.
Cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY-It was in July last
:hat the transaction took place. Wrote to the prisoner
mon after he accepted the bills, to send him 5001.
Witness had also a communication from a gentleman of
-he name of Smith on the eenhject of one of the bills, and
eferred Smith to a person in town as to its validity.
Flee letter produced was witntss's reply to Mr. Smith.
The letter was read and stated that if the bill had bean
'resented to Smith by Mr. Smart, 12, Brydges-street,
Covent garden, it was correct, but the letter added that it
could be more satisfactory if the writer saw it before it
vas discounted.

Cross_Examin. resumed.—The bill to which the letter
refers wits one of the 5001. hills given to the prisoner.
Witness had nut funds in his bankers hands to meet the
'sills when due. The money witness wanted to raise was
to pay other debts then due. There were hills outstanding
upon which a composition was proposed.
rtr-examined.—Thoe outstanding bills were arising out
if gambling transactions. Smart hid other bills to the
amount of 2.500/. in his hands at thit time ; one to the
amount of 5001.

Thomas Pope Parnell examined by Mr. CLARKSON.—
Witness in the months of June, July, and August, was
'etter carrier to the General Post Office, and delivered let-
ters in University-street. In those months had letters for
co. 35 in that street. Witness met with a person in the
street to whom witness gave letters. The person gave
witnes the name of Morton. Knows Atcheson, who
time to witness with the person who gave the name
Morton," and witness gave Atcheson after that many
letters directed to Morton. The prisoner, to witness's
belief, is the same person who represented himself as
being Morton. Remembers having a letter with the
Hou4hton po-t onark on it, which witness delivered
either to the prisoner or Atcheson, but which he cannot
precisely say. Witness had many letters addressed to
Morton, and one day delivered as many as ten letters to
Atcheson, who represented himself as being Morton's
clerk. Witness received a memorandum from Atcheson,
to deliver the letters addressed to 'Morton, 35, University-
street, at No. 4, Griever Place.
John Horner, examined by. Mr. Cr.AxxsoN—Lodged •
with the witness Bind in July and August last, at 35,
University-street ; three applications for a person of
the name of Morton were made there to witness, who
!mows no such person, nor waa there any individual of
that name living at that time in the house.
This closed the case for the prosecution.
Mr. ALLEY then rose and took a legal objection to the
indictment Ile contended that the prisoner was
entitled to a❑ acquittal, on the ground that the
chose en action was not a peilezt valuable or
available security, without which an indictment for lar-
ceny could not be sustained.
Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. CLARKSON were beard at
considerable length on the other side.
The Junoes corsulted together for some time, and
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE gave the
,lodgment of the
Court, that the indictment had not been made out
within the provi•ions of the statues, and therefore
the prisoner was entitled to an acquittal.
