to put hismoney down, the stranger said, " You're
a set of poor fellows, and can't muster any money
amongst you all." This put the prisoners into a
pashion, as the prosecutor thought, and they
asked the strangers what they would wager that
they did not produce 10/. each. 'Be replied, he
would lay them a I/. note each that they did not
prodilce so much amongst them all. On this Haw-
kins asked the prosecutor if he had 10/.? who replied
he had at home, and would fetch it in a few
minutes. The three then came out together.
lie (the witness), on bringing back a t;)10 note,
again joined them, and they returned into the
house, where the stranger still was, and the wager
having been laid, the latter admitted he had lost,
but did not offer to pay. Another wager was
subsequently laid, relatively to the meaning of
a word which the witness did not understand,
but he was induced to put his ElO note into a
hat with the prisoners' notes (flash notes), the
stranger having previously lost, in order to give
him an opporfunity of winning back his money-
The dictionary was produced, and the pretended
stranger was the winner. Witness then asked for
his note, but was informed that he had lost the
whole EU). This put him in a passion, and he
attempted to get possession of it, when Hawkins
snatched it up, and they all ran awa v. The
prosecutor followed and gave the alarm, when an
officer took the two prisoners into custody. The
pretended stranger got array, but the prosecutor's
note was recovered, having fallen from the hands
*of Hawkins.—The officer corroborated this state-
ment.—The prisoners, in their defence, said the
wager was fairly laid, and the prosecutor had lOSty
but would not pay.
Some "flash" notes found on them were pro-
duced, similar to those generally used by depre-
dators of this description. The following is a
copy of one of them :

" No. 7.

Two PENCE, when the pensioned drone and Hie destructive

The prisoners called two persons in their de-

fence, who gave: then) good characters.
The COAIA,ION SERJEANT was about to sum y'r;
when the Jury said they were perfectly satisfieu7
and immediately found both prisoners Guilty•

The Recordef heard the remainder of the cases,
which were'uninteresting.
