FRAUD ON THE POST.OFFICE.

IV;11;am Chalfont was on Tue3day indifted for
that he, on the 17th of January last, being employ.
ctl by the General Post in sorting and stamping
letters, being an office of trust and confidence, did
secrete several letters with intent to defraud, and
thereby defrauding the Revenue of the amount of
the postage on them. _ _ _

Mr. FT BLDtNG, leading Counsel for the prosecu.
tion, stated, that this cause was one of the first im.
pression, that is, it was, one of the first of the sort
that had ever occurred.. Although there were se.
veral Ads of Parliament peculiarly applying to the
protedion of the Post-Office, yet there was not one
which met the offence diredly. But, notwithstand.
ing there was no particular Ad applying to the
offence, yet, as it was a breach of duty in a Public
Officer, by the common law of the land it was a
misdemeanor, and if the Defendant were convided
of it, he would be liable to such degree of punish.
ment, within certain limits, as the Court might
think proper to inflid. The Prisoner was a person
who had been in the employ of the Post. Office, and
one particular branch of his duty was to sort letters
which arrived on a Sunday. The Foreign Mails
usually arrived on a Sunday,. and by way of expe.
diting thedelivery of the town letters on a Monday,
the Prisoner was employed. to sort them on a Sun-
day. But though they were sorted on the Sunday,
the account of them was not entered into the Post_
Office books until the Monday morning ; this gave
soe Prisoner an opportunity of withdrawing as
many as he pleased without the deficiency appear.
ing. These
,letters thus withdrawn by him
were afterwards the next day delivered by him
to an accomplice, another of the letter-carriers,
who delivered them according to their address,.and
received the postage, as though they had been re-
gularly issued by the Office, and the money thus
fraudulently obtained they divided betwixt. them.
This prance was continued for a long time, until
about May last, the accomplice, who had been dis.
missed 'for other causes, feeling compunction for
his former conduct, disclosed the whole transaftion
to the Post Master General. In consequence of
this communication, the Prisoner was interrogated,
and he confessed his share in the guilt. It fortu.
nately happened that the accomplice kept a little
shop, and in the books of his basiness had kept an
account of all the money they had divided on this
nefarious tsaffiic, so that they would be able to shew
in a regular series the produce of the fraud.
The, situaiion'dfthe Prisoner, and the nature of
his duty beiog prOtred, by different witnesses from

and therefore they hoped this Rule would be dis-
charged.

,
Mr. LiALOTIT and Mr. CL /OM supported the
Rule. They submitted there ws•abtindant ground
on these .AllidaVits"ro grant a new trial. It was ,
truly stated, that the Notes themselves imported a
consideration; but that- consideration might be by
the payment of-money, and the. Defendant Could
have proved that no money had been paid. But
was said these Notes were gtounded on a considers.
don of service which therlaintiffhad done to the
deceased; and, if these services were real, and
they were in fatt the foundation of these Notes, the
verditt was right; according to the 'directions of.
the veryLeatned Judge. The Defendant was sur.
Prized at having such a. consideration put on him,
because he was not at all aware of it; and, in fart,
it was not true, because it-wasiworn that the Plain.
tiff; as the servant of his father, had only done har.
vest work for the deceased for one day, and. that
the deceased had' done much more for his, father.
This eld .man,. bereaved of all his senses, two or
three days before his:death,. for This supposed' consi.
Aeration, gives these two Promissory Notes for

Mr. Justice LAWRENCE asked the Learned Coun.
sel; if he moved it on the ground that the deceased,
at the time he:made these Notes, was not in his
senses ?

'Mr. 13m.qu'y replied that he did. This man, he
said, had ariived at an extreme old age.
Mr. Serjeant•YAUGHAN said, he was never more
sensible in 1)15 lif4 than'he was at the tiroe he made
these Notes.

Mr. Justice LAwR ENC E astlked‘ the Learned Coun-
sel for the Defendant, who, is the Executor, if they
w6uld be content to take this issue on a new trial—
Whether the Testator was in his semes,or not, at
the' time he gave the Plaintiff these Notes, and not
,to insist that there was a want of consideration, and
that this was only a nudum pa/turn'?
It was agreed to confine thernserves to this issue.

Mr. Justice LAwltrrcs,--" The only' qitestion
will,be, whether the. Testator, at the time he signed
these two Notes, was cor4os mew/is—was in the'
possession of his undeistanding—or whether he was
imposed upon ? If the Testator meant to make his
relation a present of rool. the I,:xecutor shall not
defeat it. If it was a mere, gr.ktuity for civilities,
it shall not he said it is a nudum paaum. The
issue, therefore, will be, whether this tool.. was
really intended as a gift,. or whether this man, from
his age, was not imposed upon ?"

Rule for a New Trial absolute, the Defendant
undertaking, at the time of that Trial, not to set
up the want of consideration as a deknce inLaw.
The Costs are to abide the event. His Lordship
observed, that if this was a fair transaaion, the
Defendant ought to pay the Coats. On the other/
hand, if the deceased had been imposecrupon, it was
•
right that the Plaintiff should pay them:

by the other witnesses; and the, Jury; after about

GOVERNMENT P ROC LAMATION,

THE THEATRE.

Drui:y-Laic.

Tug Tragedy of R;chard 'the Third list night
introduced Mr. Coopp tt again to the Public in the
hero of the Piece. 'What we said of his Alachith,
is,' in general, • applicable to his performance last
night. It displayed the solidity of judgment rather
than the fire of genius.—He certainly atts from re.
ficOion, and a knowledge of his author, of which
very few instances can be found in the present race
of Performers.
The bluntness and barbarity of Richard were
throughout well expressed, but his impetuosity and
artifice were not equally prominent. Towards the
latter scenes his fire increased, and he gave a better
portrait of the varieties of the charatter.
There are occasional touches of a savage sportive-
ness in Richard, but the sententious and lofty
,manner of Mr. COOPER prevented them from ap-
pearing with due a-ed. He restored several pas-
sages of the original text, but they were not of such
a kind as to give any additional force to the charatter.
The only novelty of expression we observed, was
in the tent scene, after the appearance of the
Ghosts, in delivering

'6 Sott—'twas but ,a
This passage he gave with a smile of pleasure, in
finding that his terrors were visionary. It may be
doubted, however, whether such an expression was
in unison with the recent horror of the tyrant's
feelings. Mr. Cool' Ek was very well received by
a numerous Audience.

Foust Ihrothaqh Afailt arrived this morning.--
They bting us Path Newt of the date of the 13. th

upon' the Expedition, which it it asserted he
means to head ; but period:of its taking plaCe
remains a profound keret. o.mt me 'the Chief
Coritul it busily employed arranging id hit
Cabinet, Plans of Attack. It is mid' that,
the proposal', m:sde by the Erteattoa of Runt .t tot
a Negotiation, have been rejteled by France, 'but
that BONAPARTZ carries MI a correspondence With
the ENtr mil. by Couriers,. independently of M.
MAR gory, who it appears it in disgrace at St.CiaNd.:
We learn from these Papers, that Spain had appealed
•
to. the ELIPHROIt of ItusatA against the condition*
which France exacted of ber, in consequence, of;
which it was expected that some modification would
be made.

BumArAttre does not think it necessary any
longer to conceal his views upun Egypt again, it
is plainly stated that the French Squadron at Toil.
lon is ready to sail upon an Expedition,- whenever
it can venture' out. It is stated likewise' in the
same article, that an Expedition was fitted out at
Malta by the English, it was supposed againrkt the
isle of Elba.

The news from Egypt proves, that the dominion
of the Porte in that Country stands upon a very
sandy foundation. The Beys had taken Damietta
by assault, anti it %vas summed that they must ho
in possession of Altxaadriq. They are friendly to
the English, and as the Porte seems to have once
more thrown itself into the arms of France, at least
it appears so from the French accounts„ there would

concern was that, of having deluded many persons,

his age, as stated on his coffin, was 36. Belore he
left I:llmainham, in Dtiblin, to go to Downpa.'
trick, it appears he entertained hopes of making an
escape ; with this design, he endeavoured to in.
gratiate himself with the Turnkey, and aaually
gave the man tool. and a hint of a further sum.
His keeper had too much integrity,, however, to be
deluded by Bribery, and on receiving the tempta.
