A press-gang stationed at Chester having, on
the 28th ult. pressed one of the Volunteers, who had
been at sea, and lodged himin gaol, a, great num.
ber of the. Members of the Corps to which he be-
longed, pr9ceeded, after their parade, to the prison,
ina demanded the man. On receiving a refusal,
they threatened to proceed to violence, when Major
tmoTT,. their Commander, came up, and declared
that he . would put the first of them to death that
attempted to force the gaol; upon which he was
seised by .the Volunteers, some. of , WhOm called
out to have his sword broken over his head. By
the assistance of some friends, he was, however,
rescued from them unhurt. They then turned their
fury against the gaol, the windows of which they
first forced in, and then the door ; upon which the
gaoler, in order to secure the rest of the Prisoners,
gave up the man in question, who was chaired thro
. all the principal streets of the City. The naval
rendezvous house was the next object of attack, the
windows and doors of which they destroyed. At
their approaCh the press-gang retired; but leay.

by Mr. Allen. He took it to the proper Gffiee to
be examined, for there is a mode of- r.-&riiinir*'
Powers of Attorney to transfer Stock at tale Baek- 3
to prevent forgery or imposition. The Oflieet'at'ilie
Bank doubted whether the Signature to this Power
of Attorney was of die hand_wri.ti,in of Mr. Allen, 1
and therefore rent for the Witness, ani aske,l Lim if
he knew Mc. Allen ? The Witness said he did noi,
he only kneW the prisoner. Mr.-Hatetnan, the Of:_
firer of the Bank, asked the Prisoner if she knew. '1"
Mr. Allen ? She said, yes, that she had lived:-7
with him ; that he was near 90 'tears of .-age----that
his hand-writing was altered. Sire 'said, that, if
there was any doubt, she would take out another:
but Mr. Bateman said,, that if she would get a me-• •

that at present it was void, andlliat there must be' '

he married her, The Witness-asked ~her at •wh,t

all her friends advised her .to g,) by-her, own'oatne.,.

delivered it up to the Direttnrs, and the Prisoner,Was
detained, for by this time it .was discovered to be a

Mr.
Bvernan said, that he is Inspenor of Nwet's'
of Attorney at the Bank. 7He gave -,;n account as '
Mr. Francillan had done, of both him and the Fri.
sorter corning to the Bank with the Po Weir Ar.
torney—of his suspeaing it' not to Signature
of Mr. Allen; and of his requiring tife!netnuraoduri
signed by. Mr. Vardey; one of the attes,ti;z'
Witnesses, and of the Prisiiier afterwards bringiig
it so attested.

•
Mr. Benjamin Allen was then called, bur he an_
peared so old and superannuated as to be hardly ca_
[sable of comprehending any question that was put
to him ; he said he could not Jell when the Prisoner
was last at his house. Oil being= askA, whether the..
signature to the Power of Attorney. was his hanct=
writing or not ? Tie said he was sure it was rot
that he had not written his name at lull length fur
many years : that he had not been out of his house
fur the last so years. 'He said, on hearing that it
Was witnessed by Mr.Vardey and another person at
Greenwich, God bless toe l I did not'authorise
any body to sell :my Stock in December last :" he
said lie did not know Mr. Viirdey: he said then,
that he did nut remeMber that he had signed the
paper; he said, "I think not, but if I did sign the
paper, cannot they come and say so." He said,.that
when he signed papers they were brought•to him hy
fane.Hurle, his housekee'irr, and nut by the"
Pri-
soner, who washer niece.
Peter Vardey, and the other attesting supposed
Witness, proved, that their names as witnesses to
this Power of Attorney was a forgery ; that neither
of them saw Mr. Allen for the lasi t,velve years.
They knew nothing of this Power-of Attorney.
J:sne Hurle, 'the aunt of the Priso::er, proved,
that she was a servant in Mr. Allen's house, and
left it in December la,t, and never was' there since :
that the signature to the Power itlAtc9rney was not
of Mr. Allen's hand, who never wrote the name
Benjamin itt full : that it was imrossible for
any paper to hay.e tern signed by Mr. Allen
out the knowledge of the Nitness, for nobody ever
saw him but in her presence for many years.
The Cut P F BARON summed op the Evidence 4r13
said, that he had no 'obsezvation to make on this

Thomas Seager Setuan was tried on a charge of
being an incorrigible rogue and vagabond.
Mr. Rashleigh, an Attorney of respectability .in
Hatton-garden, said -that the Prisoner had be'en CO_
vided of being a vagrant at Maidstone in January
'Soo, before his brother, who was a Magistrate
at that place. Some short time back he called upon
him, stating that he knew Mr. R.'s brother very
well ; that he had been in a very respedable situa_
tion himself, but was reduced by unforeseen mis-
fortunes, and had got several noblemen and gentle-
men to sign a paper which he produced, stating his
former respeetable situation in life. Mr. R. de_
sired him to call next day, and then had him taken
into custody. j, .
The Earl of PIFE stated that the Prisoner had
shewn him a paper to the same effeft, with a view
to obtain money from him.
The Prisoner said he was well known in the City
of London ; that he had been an eminent merchant
and ship owner ; that he had built fifteen ships,
every timber of which was his own, besides shares
in many others, most of which he had lost by cap.
tures, and the perils of the sea. That he had been
induced to attempt a subscription by the wish of
many respectable persons.
The Jury immediately found him guilty.
.Mr. MAINWARING told the Prisoner, that it
was his misfortune to be but too well known in the
City of London : whatever might have been his
former situation of life, the Court had no business
to look at that, hut it was their duty to prevent
such persons as him from going about with papers
to obtain money from the Public in that sort of way.
He then sentenced., the Prisoner to six months im-
prisonment in Coldbath.fields, and advised him to
pursue some other mode of life when he came out ;
as he most be aware that if he came before them
again on a similar .charge, he would be liable to
suffer transportation.
The Prisoner was a very decent good looking
man, about the middle age.
Alexander Israel, a Jew, was convicted on the
oath of Mr. Barrett; on whom he attempted to ring
therhanges, as it is termed in the cant language ;
that is, giving a piece of bad money back in the
place of lawful coin, and saying he had received it
from that gentleman.
Lovatt, Officer of I\4,slborough-street Police,
stated, that he had found an incredible quantity of'
base coin in the stockings, hat, and under the arm
of the Prisoner. The conviction of the Prisoner in
I Soz, -for a similar offmce, was read ; and he was
sentenced to be two years confined in Coldbath_
fields, and after that to find hail for his good be-
haviour for two years thence ensuing.
Thomas Tones, alias Agar, was conviacd on the
Vagrant He appealed to be about nineteen
years of age, and his case was one of the most i.e.
