was shown him the day before yesterday, and had known
his person before, though he was not acquainted with his
mane.

At this stage of the case Lord 'I stirtitneN observed,
that he had seen enough to be able to conclude that the
circumstance that the defendant ate' Mr. Spence had
gone together to Davis's house, was what the Counsel for
the prosecution relied on, to support the assignment for
perjury. Now the evidence went to prove, not that
Blandy and Spence went together to Davis's house, but
that Spruce had followed Blandy. Blandy did not swear
that he had never been with Mr. Spence at Davis's house,
he only swore that he did not go with hint there. The
signment of perjbry therefore could nut lie supported. 11
could not be matet•ial to the Committee to know whether
Spence went with Blandy to Davis—the question for the
Committee was, whether they went together for the same
purpose, which was not asked.
Mr. BROUGHAM asked whether his Lordship did not
think that if Blandy and Spence went on the same occa-
sion, and for the same purpose, Blandy was wrong, when
he swore he did not go with Mr. Speucc.
Lord TtNTETIDER said, that perhaps if Blaiidy had been
asked, Whether he and Mr. Spence had gone to Davis on
the same purpose, he would have answered in the affirma-
tive. At all events it was clear, he had not Perkared
self in swearing, that he did not go with Mr: Spence unto
Davis, for the evidence was, that Mr. Spence folldwed
Blandy.
DRNMAI, who conducted the defendant's case, ob-
served, that if he had addressed the Jury, he would have
put it to them, that if Mr. Blandy had been mistaken in
swearing that he bad not gone with Mr. Spence to Davis,
house, the circumstance was so immaterial that the indict-
ment could not have been supported.
Lord TENTERDEN-1 should have thought so too, Mr.
Dcnman.

Under the direction of the Learned Stldge, the Jury
returned a eerakt Of
the CoUrt was crowded with respectable persons from
Reading and its neighbourhood, where the ca.,e excited
considerable interest.

Sir James Scarlett, Mr. Brougham, and Mr. Tallourd
were for the prosecution, and the Common Sergeant (Mr.
Denman), and Mr. Alderson for the defendant.

HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY.

At twelve o'clock several Counsel and practitioners
entered the Court, and Dr. ALNOLD (the Advocate of the

you a Judge of this Court. And as you have contributed
to the learning of the profession, by reporting the
judgments of your predecessor, I trust that you will
add to the reputation which you have already aequi-
ed by the excellency of your own judgments." The patent

in the steps of my distinguished predecessor to the best of
my ability."

account of her husband having two wives, and that she had
received a letter from the Lord Chancellor, directing her to
go to the Bank and receive ,50/., and place it to his account.

going to the Lord Chancellor's house, to have an interview

money that day, as the Stocks were shut. The 4th, that
she had received a letter from the Lord Chancellor, saying
she would be put in possession of her funded property on the
Bth of January. The sth, that she had seen the Lord
Chancellor at his house in George-street, and that he had
a swelling in his neck which prevented him from going out.
The 6th, that the Lord Chancellor had, in a letter addres-
sed to her, said that he could not attend on her on Mon-
day, as he had to be with the big wigs at Westminster, but
that in a few days he hoped to put her in possession of her
funded property,, and that he would see her seated in her
ancient castle on or before the Bth of March. The 7th,
that she had been to the Bank with the Lord Chancellor,
but that no transfer could be made for want of the signa-
ture of the executor to her uncle's will.

Mrs. Bell proved the facts against her in evidence, after
which

The Lord Chancellor, who was sitting on the bench to
the right of the Chairman, was examined. Ilk Lordship,
after perusing the note purporting to be in his hand-
writing, said—this is not my hand-writing, and I know
nothing of it, except from the circumstance of its having
been shown to me by my Secretary.
CIIAIRMAN.-llid your Lordship ever authorize this
woman to make use of your name?

The Lord Chancellor.—Never; nor do I recollect having
seen her before to-day in the course of my whole life.

her guilt, sentenced her to be transported for seven years.
