FIFTH HA APRIL 2S.

Mau Bunn was indiacd, that:she being big of a
male child,- and 'which, by theprovidence of God;
was born alive, and lv:!, likely by the law-of this
hind to become a bastard, and that she, on her said
new-born child, did make an assault and suffocated
and smothered it, whereby she was guilty of Mur-
der. ,

)It appeared that the Prisoner had been well known
to have been with child for a considerable timcbe-
flme she was delivered of it, that she was told of
it by her father's female servants, and by others her
mighbours at Enfield, which at first she denied, but
is a:terwards became too notorious for her to per_
silt in it : that she had been preparirg baby.cloaths,
&;7. It was not known how she was delivered, but .
the child was found dead. It appeared also, that
on the Coroner's Inquest she was charged with the
murder of her child, and confined upon it accord-
ingly. But on the Inquisition before the Grand
Jury the Bill was thrown out, and she was now,
therefore, tried on the Coroner's Inquisition.
The Surgeon who inspected the body of the in.
faitt was examined, and he was. going to give an
account of the experiment he made upon the lungsi
when,

Mr. Justice HEATH said, that this experiment
upon ae lungs was now exploded ; and therefore
.nothing (*Luther WM.; said upon it.

The Surgeon said, that-no tnarks of violence
appeared upon the botJy of the inrant. •

Mr. Justice REATH observed to the Jury, that
the Prisoner at the Bar stood charged with the
Murder of her female inf;.nt Child, which at the
time of her• pregnancy was likely to be born a
bastard by the laws of this Country, and•that she
secretly deliKered herself.. -It was necessary to
apprize the Jury, that by the Comtnon Law of this
land, the birch of the. child in concealment, and its
being found dead in that state, was not presumptive
evidence of death, by violence, unless there were
marks of violence on the body ; but by an ancient
statute it was enaned, 1, that •if a woman was de-
livered of a child ptivately, and that child wa3
born a bastard by law, and such child had been
concealed and fOund dead, and it also appeared that
the child was born alive, in such case, it shall be
presumptive evidence .of the murder of such child,
and it was only to be controkd by evidence of.a
contrary, 'tendency." Now it appe#4l in this case
tlier,.! were no marks of violence on the body of
the enfant, which would have been an answer to the
charge. upon the Common Law, hut it was not sail-
tieni for the Statute. It, ancared that
saner at the air could not conceal lwr pregnancy,
for 'it waf: known in her father's family, and it .;tp,
pearedalso: that she prepared cloaths for time child,
and therefore, he was of opinion, that the pre.
sumption of the Statute was answered, as well as
that of the .Common Law. The consequence of
which was, if the Jury were of the sante opinion,
the Prisoner ought to be acquitted.—Not

Thomas Warren stood charged with forging a one
penal Bank of England note.
The pleadings were opened by Mr, Grans, and
the case by Mr. Gitettow, in which a long detail
of circumstances' occurred, the leading.parts of which
were, that the Prisoner, together with a person of
the name of Peter Gregory, became, by their prae.
tire%.subjects of great suspicion, and were watched
by the Officers of the Police; that on the 26th of
March last the Prisoner, togetheewith the wife of
Gregory, went out together from the house where.
in they all lived, which was No, 4, Newton.
street, Holborn, add pciceeded to a China Ware.
house near Wellelnse.squart, and an Officer of the
Police followed them at a distance; that the woman
went into the shop, and ie a little time came, out
again, and gave a parcel to the prisoner, who was
waiting for her. The Police Officer went imme.
diairly to the :Atop and asked the woman, what
she sold, and how she was paid for it. She' said
half a dozen cups and saucers, and that she had re-
ceived a one pound note in payment, for which she
had given change. The note Was immediately
marked by, the woman who took 'it, and set it aside
front her oilier notes. The Prisoner and Mrs.
Gregory were then gene, but on the Moteley fol.
lowing they were apprehended, and on searching
the house, it appeared that in the garret there was
a regular en whihe set up, and in the use and practice
of making urged Bank-riotes, and a plate and the
pule; of paper, Or the substance of paper, in a
state like flour pnd water, in the CQU(Se of being
manufailitred. That Warner had brought it with
hina from Ireland, when he told an accOMplieFt now
to he, examined, that he made every thing himself,
and finished these notes, ,in every respea except
rh.st of signing them, and that was done by Gre-
gory, who boasted that when fie was sober, he
could imitate the harlil of any wan in Englltoti.
That bosh him and Gregory` boasted they had been
following this trade for six years without interrup.
tion, and passed these notes at fairs to farmers—
that They lead pessed twenty of a night at Vauxhall
Garden?, .4:c.—that' they tied them up in a bundle
of brown paper, and fx:tened them under the seat of
a vault, of a publie.house, and they were aken
away one at a time, as they hiel occasion Ito pass
them, elledging, that if only one of them was found
at a thnet they could not be hurt, c —That they
catered iota a negotiation with a person of the
name of O'Loughlin, groom to a Gentleman of the
name of Trent, and sold him a great number of
‘rgcti Bank notes he was apprehended, and ad- 1
nef.ed an evidence, .

Gregory's wife was examined; but Silt, said, that

Mr. GAk Row said, that she had _so shamefully
prevaricated and misbehaved, that he felt it his duty
to move, that she be now committed to take her

case ; and as this negatived the uttering, the trial
could not proceed any further.
The Prisoner was acquitted.

.
Petri. Gregory, was then•indided for forging and
uttering_ Bank .of England .Notes: This Prisoner
was husband to the woman who appeared on the last
trial. Thd Prosecution was -concluded by Mi.
Darrow, who gave up the Indidment, in conse.
qrcerice of not having sufficient evidence to,bring the
charge home to the Prisoner, who was acquitted.
He was, however, charged on another laid
went, with forging and uttering a One Pound Bank-
Note._ •

Mr, GARR 0 w-said, behoped tobe able to bring
thiseharge home, as he could prove that the Pri.
loner had himself uttered the note mentioned
this indietment e. and the Jury would 'lied by the
evidence, that the Prisoner and Warren, who had
just been sent away from the Bar, bad long been
wholesale dealers in - forged ..Bank-notes, and that
'they had in their house every apparatus for manu.
faCturing paper and. printing. the notes, which' used
to be filled up by the Prisoner.'
It appeared that-in the month of. Match, 18oz,
the Prisoner was at a. puhlic..house in Eiteter..street,
Strand, kept by
.a Mr. Goodall ; that .he received
change for a one-pound note, when paying his reek.
oning. Mrs. Goodall desired him to put his name
on. the note, and her sister gave hint a pen and ink
to do so. Being much hurried with business, ncie
ther of them annually saw him .write his name, ,and
when he went away the note was • taken up
and put into the till among several others.
About two months after, Mrs. Goodall was in.
formed that a bad 'note which •she paid away had
been stopped at the Bank : there was written. on it,
" Peter Gregory, 3, Cravee-buildingSee Gregory
was sent for to the Bank, and denied all knowledge
of the hand.writieg on the note.' Pie afterwards,
however, indeennified Mrs. Goodall for her loss, by
giving her some linen, in which article he dealt. The
principal evidence against the Prisoner was that of
an accomplice, named William O'Loughlin, who
had lived as groom to 'a Mr. 'Prem.. He said he
had, first became acquainted with the Prisoner last
summer, by saingshim a parcel of cast.uff• clothes.
In the month of. uly he went with his master to
Ireland, and having returned to London in Novem.
ber he was waited on- by the Prisoner ; who, after
some conversation, let him into the secret of his
notes. He had several meetings 'with the Prisoner,
who was generally accompanied by Warrep. The
Prisoner agreed to let him have, and aetually gave
hiM, thiley ii. notes for 61. Which O'Loughlin paid.
He afterwards sent Gregory t 51. and received a great
quantity•of bad notes from him ; but he said he never
attempted to paes one of them 'himself. The Pri.
soner and Werren- used frequently to call on him at
the Mews where his limner's horses were' kept,
and they had severelmeetiegS
,at public.bouses. On
one of these occasinns, Warren declared • that he
made
.every thing belonging to the Notes, ex-
cept the plate, and that Gregory used to fill
up the blanks in the Notes. Gregory, who was
present at this time, said, « When I am sober,
and free from, drink, I can forge any .man!s hand
in. England." When O'Loughlin observed to him,
that the nuinkrs on the forged notes were badly
written, the Prisoner took twenty good notes from
his pocket, p timed out the numbers on them, which
were also b idly written, and said his was an Unita.
lion of them. On another occasion, w hen O`Laugh.
lin asked Warren and Greg, ry, if it were safe to
Pass the notes, the former answered it was vtry safe.
That he and Gregory went one night to Vaux.
hall, and passed near twenty tinged notes in the
Gardens., On another night, at a dinner at I lighgate,
they changed a ,51. note for a farmer : Warren having
given:him three, and Gregory two bad notes. War.
ren saiV he had been .six years at the trade,. and
never met with any disaptieintmenr. lii the month
of February,' O'Loughlin called at, the Prisoner's
.house, and went up to a :garret, where he saw
Warren;
.and there he saw a bench, with screws
• fineeed in it, for pressing notes ; a trough with
White stuff in it, like thick milk, and'a cepiter.plate,
exactly like that trout Which a ii, note was printed,
He saw, besides, several notes that were sin filled
up.. Gregory carne one day, and told the Prisoner
he had passed a note to a ptibliCan, and that he was
exainined ebout it at the Bei& ; he therefore Made
,him burn all the papers with his hand.writieg on
theni that were in O'Loughlin'e room. This Wit,
ness, on crnss.examination, said he was a Month in
custody.' It was, not until the third examination be.
fora Sir itielt. Ford, that he "made a confession of
this business : he did so.volentarily, as a public
duty. ,He.did not know whether his eivingethiS,
evidence would save him from le:ieg hange,l.
All the machinery described by O'Loughlin,,, and
which had been found by the Others at Gregor) s
house, was then brought into Court. In the
trough were 'some Pernai,ns of the pulp -of" which
paper bad been made. The copperplate conk! not
be found. Several of the fads related by O'Lough-
lin, patticularly his yariofte-interviews with War.
ren .and Gregory, were then- confirmed by other
witnesses. o')e cieetunstanee was rather remark.
able O'Loughlin said, that among the good money
he bad paid for the bad notes, was ail, note which
he had from his Maiter. One of the Bow.streef
Officers, when he apprehended ,Warren, found upon
him ail,note, which Mr. Tram, who was ex,
mined, swore
.he had 'given to his servant
O'Loughlin. .
