would be paid. The Shopman did carry the articles
agreeably to the address left, but no such heron as
the Hon. Mr. Leslie, or Gen. Leslie, were found to

The Shoptnan of the Prosecutrix corroborated her
testimony. Finding that a wrong address had been
given, and desir,us of ending our the proper place,
if by chance any mistake had occurred, he inquired
out the residecee of General Leslie, and found that
it was in Duke-street. He was there cmivinced that
it was a fraudulent business, being informed that
the General had no person of his family in town.
A young Gentleman, who was present when the
Prisoner wAs apprehended, proved, that the name
which he then assumed, and which he gave in at the
Watch-house, was James Nl,rely. He a.su pro.
diced a shoe, which the Prisoner lost in attempting
t escape, made rather in a novel stile, having an
aperture in it seemingly calculated for the purposes
of concealment.

the two first Witnesses, the Prisoner answered that
he had not. He had a Witness in Court who could
prove that at the period they had deponed to, and
for a considerable time previous to it, tie tiva,, Out

Wm. Ryder, who stated that he belnngel ro
Greenwich College. That he knew the Prisoner,
whose name was James Johnston : that he had suc.
seeded the Witness as Lieutenant'. Steward alao,ra
His Majesty's Ship the Repulse; and that to his

discharge, signed by Captain Lake, of the Replier.

letters from the Prisoner to a Lady, &red from on
board the Repulse; but nothing intelligible could
