HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY.

In the case of Mendliatn, tOrtner4 mentioned,
iodided for forgii;g, causing to be forged,•or 'utter.;
ing Bank of England Notes, knowiog- them to be
forged, particularly to Thomas Armstrong, one
note of tog. and thirteen others del. each,' for-all
which the Prisoner received, or stipulated fora va.
luable consideration from Armstrong, an objettion
was stated by the Counsel for the Prisoner, that by
the promotion of the Right. Hon.. C 4 A. Hore, His
Majest.y's Advocate, in whose name rthe Libel was
originally issued, to be Liiid Justice Clerk, it fell
to the ground. - Further, it -was mointained that
on the. adjournment 'of the 26th November, the day
on which the Pfisoner Was:charged to appear in
Court to answer his trial, there'was rip Lord
care at all, and therefore the IndiftMent fell to the
ground. It was answered, fur .the Public Prosecu.
tor, that the usage and custom of the Court was
contrary, as in the case of Grant; in 1784,. when
CAMPUELL, Esq. -the present. Lord President,
succeeded.theHon. HestaY'ERAKINE as Lord Ad.
voCate, and in other instances ; as the person hold.
invite office of Lord Advocate does not ad in an
individual capacity, but in his official copiciry, as
His Majesty's Advocate, and for His Majesty's.iit.
terest, being merely the Counsel employed by His
Majesty in the trial, which office consequently
volves on.. the successor of any Lord Advocate ex
41W°, and that it was the duty of the Court, by
adjournment in the usual foruis to prevent an in.
didMent from falling in the interim of such .ap-
poiniments. •
The Court repelled the objection.'
Very•eloquent and leartted pleadings took place
by the Counsel on both sides, eleS'pe4tlng the role:
vancy of the Libel as founded on the Statute (the
Lord Advocate having passed from that parrot the
Indidirient which Was laid at common law). It Was
argued 'by the Counsel for the Prisoner, that the
Art, is. Geo. IL did not extend to Scotland. The
Counscl for time CroW,h argued. that it did.
The Court met on 'Monday, present, the. Lord
Justice-Clerk, and Lords CRAIG, CeLL'ENi ARMA.
DALE, anti WADOWBANK. •

All the Judges.deltvered their opinions at great
length, with melt ethquence and ability. Four of
their Lordships ,{the Lord justice Clerk, Lord
crtAto, Lord CULLEN, Lird ARMADALF) were
of opinicin that the Stattite it, question did not ex.
rend 'to Scotland. Lord iVIE Ano waXxx was .of the
opr,site “pinion,
• ,The 'Court found; '' that' the Statute libelled 'an
doe» not extend tu•Scutland, and that the' Libel; ar
now restricted, is-not relevant, and, therefore
miss the same, and assuilzie the Pantieh siritiliciler
from the Bar."

The Prisoner was accordingly dismissed ham- the
Bar,,after a most striiabie, impressii‘e, eluquent, and
dignified admonition front the Lord Justice. Clerk.

Died,
,a short time since, the notorious Stoic,'
Many, alias. Wheeler, alias Burnikr. This cha.
ratter was universally admitted by the Police QEliters
to be the most expert pickpocket in England. There
.was scarcely a fair or race, betwAn'.BerWick.upon..
Tweed anti the 1,41.1t11, End, where she had nor
exercised her professional abiliries,• She originally-
mrte from SCurlitfia,
_and married one' of the noto-
rious Wheelers, with whom. she lived.some years.
On the arrival of another notorious pickpocket from
Botany Bay; 01. the name of Barnsley, She.took a
great fancy to bon, and left 'her husband..: With
this man she prklised picking 'of pockets for several
ycari, both in town and country. Although in
person rather delicate, it was no -unusual thing to
see heron Lord Mayor's bay, and other public oc.
casions, in the greatest crowd, in conspiracy with.
the notorious gong hustleri who has for so many
years infested! the Metropolis. She generally dressed
in a very genteel -style. About Seven years ago
she was at TLlth, committing. her depredations, and
at one of -the received the Sacrament ;' at
the same time.,the M'ayoress of 'Bath happened to be
one.of the COmmunicants, Atovy observing her to
hav,e a very yeauable gold watch, Contrived to rob
her of it ,before the conclusion of the solerioi. ordi:
,nance. She hall several children, whom she kept at
boarding.school., NOtWithstanding she. had been
several times tried en. capital charges, she was a 1..,
.w.ay's fortunate enough to escape punishment.
MAC Cn o Rolm .STR.test.—On. Saturday a jour-
hey monsmith was charg7d.with, uttering a counter-
feit piece, resembling half a guinea. A. quantity
of those • kind of pieces, bearing date 1791, have
• been passed on. the Public within the last fortnight,
particularly in the neighbourhood of Long-acre.--
The Prisoner was deteeted uttering it in a :public.
.house in Mercer-street, and one of Ins. shopmates
was passing another, at the same time, in a neigh-
. bowing puboc.honse, who has' since deconped. The
Sulicit‘or of. the Mint proved the cot:merit:it ; ?NI
the Pr ii.oner -14114 fully committed for trial.
