bad been to Romford, and were apprehended at Mile.
end, the fowl being in their possessicn, together with
three others whose ownership had not been traced. A
loquacious old woman was the principal witness, and
though she was very positive about the identity of the
fowl, which was produce,' and made a violent noise, her
testimony was not of the clearest or most satisfactor3
character. Mr. Ribton poitited out the defects in thi
evidence, and stated, on the authority of the prisoners,
that they had bought the fowl of Mr. Baxter, who did
not appear to give the Court any information upon the
subject.

The jury felt the force of Mr. Ribton's statement, and
returned as their verdict that the prisoners were Not
Guilty.

NEW COURT.

UTTERINS COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Thomas Harrison, a
youtb, was indicted for uttering a counterfeit half .croa W
and also with having other counterfeit money in hi•
possession, well knowing it to be counterfeit.
From the evidence it appeared that on the 9th of
March, the prisoner, who was the son of a labouring
man, residing in the neighbuui hood of the Elepkan=
and Castle, went into Petticoat-lane, and there.
in purchasing some fish of a man named Hart, ten.
tiered in payment half-a-crown. Hart immediatei3
discovered that the piece of money was counterfeit,
and told the prisoner so, who said, "Is it ? then
give you another, and make no noise about it." Hart
refused the proposal, saying, "No, you've been to me two
or three times before to-day, and before I let you go
must look over my money." He (prosecutor) went int,
a public-house to examine his pockets, leaving
the prisoner in charge of another person. On
looking over his cash, he discovered that he had two
counterfeit shillings, and he resolved to give the
prisoner lute custody. He (prisoner), on seeing
Hart, ran away, but was captured by a man
named Hyams,and on his way towards the station-hou-e
the prisoner threw away something, which was afterwards
found to be two counterfeit shillings. On being
searched at the station-house,a quanti ty;of good money was
found upon his person, but amongst it was a bad shilling,
which was proved to have been cast in the same mould
from which one of the base shillings found in Hart's
pocket was made.

For the prisoner it was contended that it was a case of
mistaken identity, and that the good money found upon
him was not the produce of passing bad money, but was
his own money : which, according to the statement of
his mother, he had saved during the winter, and which
she had given him the morning he was taken into cus-
tody to purchase some clothes with.

Two policemen swore they had frequently seen the
prisoner in the company of persons of noted bad cha-
racter, but that they hal never known him to have beer
"in trouble."

The jury found the prisoner guilty.
The Common Sergeant sentenced him to 12 months'
imprisonment, with hard labour.
