CONSPIRACY roR SWINDLING.

Robert Howes, John Mod y,, and Jain's P.,tprolds,
were, in Oe.cour)e of very long indiCtinent, which
branched nut, into a variety of counts, substantially
charged With this offence, in .conspiring, in the City.
of. Lundon to represent themselves as persons of
property, credit; respeftability, and to he in ore.
'lent circus stances ; and under pretence and colour
of such description, wilfully and knowingly to+
negociate and put off ,different Bills of Exchange,
&c. with intent to defraud divers sehjeCts of His
Majesty, &c.
Certain of the counts specified the particular
Drafts'and Bills which were negociated; or attetripted
to be put off, with the parties who came forward.to
prove the charges -in the tindiftment these were
Mr. Walton, talhm:.cliandler, 'in Little Britain ;
Mrs. White, glas4-.seller, in Wych_street ; and M.
Deacrin, masquerade warehousc.kerper, Lisle-street,

It appeared that the Defendant Reynolds (by trade
a worising gunsmith), claw, on the 3oth of January,
to. the shop of Mr. Walton, above mentioned', and,
desired -they would send-to-No. zB, Duke.street,-..
West Smithfield, for an order for a quantity, of soap.
and candles. The l) Pendant, Howes; then lodged
at NO. 28, Duke-itreet In cOnsecrence of what
was stated by Reynolds, a messenger was sent to
the place ; and under .the repres.Y.ntarions made by'
.the parties,. it 'was agreed the goods should-beset.

It appeared that the Difendant, eyntYs, came
very frequently to Howes's .residence, in Duke-
street; and' that was seen there mote than
once-I—the letter, and indorsement on the Bill, were
staled in evidence.to be the band writing •of Howes.
Stria inquiries were made at Maidenhead, but no
such persOns as. tboie described,.inarespeaable line
of hairless, there (and whence the' letter, &c. enters •
supposed to come) could be found. ' . .
The charge, as it respeaeti'Mrs. White, mention;
ed in the indictment, prineipully re:ted'on the testi.
mony of Mr. Bird, a neighbour of her's in WYO.
street, Dtary.lane. The affair happened prior,to the
fore;oing transaaion, . namely, in November hist..
Howes, it appeared, obtained, some gtass• ware of
Mrs. White,. for' which .he tendered a Bill in pay-
,
talent.- Mr. Bird was sent for as her friend; he
fou,,a the things in .a coach at the door, and the Dc.
fendant, Thf.):ly.; in the shop. Thody said, he had
accepted the IAII,-and lived at No. 4., Temple-lane.
Bird asked to see Howes.; Thody went out and re.
turned with him in Tour or five minutes. From
,what tr,trispited he was induced.to exclaim, " It is
,an infernal piece of business ; you are a set of
swindlers,l';.• He shut the door, ,and endeavoured to
secure t:lem; upon whiet! Howes, who it aveared
had been An Attorney, blustered and• threatened to
prosecute him; be therefore let him out—the goods

in one Temple-lane, and at a third 'in the other ;
but no'inch person as Mr. Thody lived at either. •
• Mr. COMMON SEttJEANTobserYed, that ~Vi;,Bird
had atled,extremely right.

house, in Liale-street, Leicester4elos, above-men-

th.tt ort. the 9th of 'February, the

ing " Hoiton," the place where it w.is saidit should ,

`held.. The articles were, however, forwartied to
No. 28, Duke-street, where Howes lodged. On
the 11th of Februtry, Mrs. Gates, a sister of Mrs.
Deacon, the proprietor's .wife, went to Duke.
street; site saw Howes's wile,, and afterwards him.

about the Bill tendered by Reynolds`;• be spoke at,
'One time favourably, at another unfavourably of
him. She afterwards went taiHoxtoni in "starch of

vexed, not' was any sailifiraion obtained fur. what

In the first instance no defence was Made by the
Prisoners, not was any evidence adduced by them,
'either as to character or tolatts. •

Mr. ALLEY, Counsel for the Deferidants, observed
upon the complex And intricate nature of the charges
and evidence brought against the Prisoners ; he'
hoped the Jiffy understo3d it, as otherwise they,
could not adjudicate fairly between the Defendants
