happened so., as I wanted part of. the money for
nay self. He ,seemed to feel tato for the disappoiattnent.
HN said, " I sim very siti'ey for yon, but if zol. would
yoet serie:lte may have it." t told hirn'it
and he then said, I will giVe you the re-
[Daintier on the 6th of July, and then repeated his
offar of lending use money, which I again declined.
He put his hand into his pocket, trom which he
drew a tog. Bank note, and then recolleded that he
had no more, but said that he would return with the
other to). and make up the zol. the next day. He
laid the tot. on the table after the acknowledgment,
which he gave for the 701. I never took it. Mrs.
Karma's, I suppose, took. it up afterwards. I had
some business out, and went out with Mr. Scott.
He did not call again the next day ; but on the Ist
trf jai!yr he called on me. He took me to the win.
dow, and said, you omitted giving me an ac-
knowledgment for the rol. I gave you. I sat down
to write burn the acknowledgment. He wanted
to dilate, it to me. I wrote the acknowledgment. •
He objeaed to the form of it while I was writing
it ; I lead it and gave it to him : he said, " you
will recoiled you have ion. of Mine."—" And do
yoU recoiled also that I nave given you an acknow.
ledgment for it," said I. He said, " it was not
good, because it was nor on a stamp ;" to which I
replied, " neither is ytiur acknowledgment for the
701. bill- upon a stamp." He then made a number •
of objections, to which I said, " I will tell you
what, Mr. Scott, you have broke through the mask,
and you-have given me an opinion of what you are
—Now do you deduct the 551. I have received from
you, and give me the balance, and I will give up your
acknowledgment, and you shall give up mine to me."
—I said, I wished to have the el. which was due to,
me upon the balance, for I had given him credit for
the tot. making 651. out of the 701. and I wished
to see him no more.—He •got into a great pasSion,
took the acknowledgment which I had signed, and
asked if I doubted that he was a Gentleman. I
desired him to rale& on what I had said, to return
me- the balance of the money and the acknowledg-
ment, and that afterwards I should never wish to
see him again, that to recommend him as a Gentle-
man I could not, and that therefore he should look
for nothing through me. He gut into a great rage,
saying, that he was, a Gentleman, related to
the Duke of Portland, son to Sir J. Scott, and
married to the Sister of Major Craw ford.-7
I thought that he wouid have called me out,
being of such high blood and family.---LI never
left my seat, but [a-crested that he would walk down
stairs. He would not. I told him, if he would not,
I should be under the unpleasant necessity of insist-
ing 00 it. I got up, and Mrs. Kannah requested
me not to touch hihs. I walked to the door, arol
shewed !sins the way down stairs. He said he would
take the Law of tne if I wool(' touch hint. I only
pushed his elbow, and then saw him down stairs out
at the door. When he pot he. spoke to Mrs. Yep.
pel, who keeps the house. .He then went out. No
person was at the door but Mrs. Keppel. The man,
Charles M'Gregor, adedots my servant, he-waS not
in the room during any part of this conversation
between Scott and mySelf. Charles M'Gregor did
not pinion Scott whilst took a receipt for too
guineas out of his pocket. NO other person came
into the room than Scott himself, during the-whole
time he was there. Most undoubtedly I never took
out of Scott's pocket any acknowledgment or receipt
for too guineas, nor a tot. bank note, nor any
thing whatever. He never came after that to
my hrause—l never touched him but by his el-
bowl. to desire him to go.out of my lodgings.
I heard afterwards there was a Writ oat at his'suit
against me for 091. to which. I. put in Bail, but I
was oot arrested. That adion hag not been follow.
ed up by him. On the 16;11 of July two Officers
of the Queen-square Police came to my house with a
warrant to apprehend me. I went to Queen-square
and Charles M'Gregor with me. Scott appeared at
the Office, and there he accused me of totaling the
tot; fink Note and au Acknowledgment for 100
guineas; upon which I was .committed td priains,
and was. for eleven days confined With a chain Upon
my leg—it was before Mr. Pye.—Upon the accts.
cation being made against me, I pointed ont
M'Gregor
_as a Witness for me, and then Scott
charged him, and said the servant was the man who
was concerned in the robbery, upon which we were
committed, but eleven days afterwards Scott not
appearing before the JVl,lgistraiei.l was admitted to
Bail. I was afterwards triedrat the Old Bailey and
acquitted.—Scott, my accuser,. had notice- that 1
should take my trial,, but he.didnot appear.

The Witne6i then underwent a long eross-e.xg
inination, but no fait material, to the issue occurred

in it.

The wife of the frosecutor corroborated every
materi3l rad that mas related-to • have past in con-
versation between Scott and her husband, the Pro-

secutor.
Mrs. Keppel proved that there was no scuffle be-
tween the Prosecutor and Scott, in the room when
they were there on the 61 of July.; if there had she
must have heard it, for her parlour was direaly on.
der the room where they were, and she could even
hear a lbud voice.
The Servant of Mrs. Keppel proved, it was im-
possible that M'Gregor, the Prosecutor's Servant,
should have been in the room with -his Master and
the Prisoner Scott, for M'Gregor was.never•once
out of the kitchen while Scott was in the house.—
This she swore positively. •
There was no evidence on the part of the Pd.
souer, but Mr.• ALLEY addrest.ed the Jury in a
Spgch of considerable length.
Mr. MAINVARING, 11,1 C Chairman, pointed out
tht,single question which the Jury had to try, and
Which could he stated in three words---namely,
• Whether M'Gregor pinioned .Scott, and kannah
took by force out of his pocket, either a receipt or
'acknowledgment for zoo guineas, and a 101. note;
or either of them, on the 6th of July last, for that
was the suhsrance of. the charge he had made against
Mr. Kannah and M'Gregor, and on which this per-
jury was assigned--It they believed the Evidence
the Case was made out, and they would find the
Prisoner guilty ; if they thought that he was, rob-
bed, as he had sworn he was, then they would find
not Guilty,—The Jury found him Guilt].
