THS KING U. THOMAS Wiebß.

The same prisoner was then arraigned .onder n
second indictment, of a nature • simikirs,, though
with a variation in the circumstance; for in 'this
case the prisoner was himself the. drawer of the
bill, by which he had slefrauded tine same-prosecu-
tors as in, the last indictment. The bill' was
follows :-
1.1:1. 9s. Wilton, Wiltshire, Dec. el, 1819.

Accepted ptyahle wben due at No.4o,C4stle-street, Holborn.
Indorseti---J4:l Webb. • ! •
The same 'course ,of proofs were gone through
as in the last case, to shew the tittering of tile
bill, and to prove by the Parish 'Officers, both 'at
Rorntord and St. Andrew's Itiihorn, that norsotii,
person sa Thomas Bowden was known at 601'0.
place. There was, however, this additional evi-
dence offered on the part of the prosecution by-Mr.
Tilby, the Attorney, who put in notice served
upon the prisoner while in prison, calling upon
him to disciote Who Thoarsis Lowden WAS, arid

where lre was to he rnuna ; and Aso c,oll.fz
h ins to produce the accomrt_ bet.wcen then), &c. &c.
The Learned Judge interrupted the reading of
ihis hill in eculTy, as he termed it, and observed
i
•..
upon the great impropriety of the proceeding,,
cautioning Mr. trilby against a repetitiOn on a si-,
milar occasion.
Mr. 'nib)/ observed, that he followed the
vice of Counsel ; not those at present engaged.
The Judge observed that he was satisfied those,.
now employed would never have advised such a:
measure against a prisoner while in custody.
The prisoner being called upon for his defence,
left it as before to his Counsel, who called his

witnesses t---
Thomas Bradshaw was partner with Thomas
Bowden, the acceptor of the bill, for fourteen,
months, beginning May twelvemonth. The ac-
ceptance is in the - hand-writing of Thomas
Bowdcn.

Coos-examined.—They carry on business es
defilers in wool and cloth, in Miles's•lane and
Crooked-lane ; knew Bowden had a house at
Rumford ; they never manufactured baize ; did
not see Bowden write this acceptance; never
knew Bowden accept any bill payable, at No. 40,
cnole•street. It was not a boitiees ; saw
BOrvdell r,r Nn. 40, Castle-street,, in December
last ; celled with him there„witb Mr. -13'igg. his
attorney ; he neither livet6lor,had judgings,t here;

fending flit 'Bowden Bowden
_s noc her,clto the
knowledge of the a itness ; witness came to Salis-
bury with Nlr. I3ogg ; as not se;-ii 13o,v:len for
six weeks since last Saturday. —W4ness cannot
get Bowden to sign a dissolution or ti.e partner-
ship ; Bowden 'is embarrassed ; he is about five
feet eight inches, fair complexion, about 35 or
36 years of age, light hair, rather bald ; witness
has known lion,;; at the same house more than
year; there is no other No. 40, in the stree: ;
Boge's name is not on
,the door.; witness lives at
Newington ; has known the prisoner three or four
years ; sold him some wool and cloth.
14-examined—The connection with Bowden
was very.untortonate to the witness ; conceives
Webb *nun have known that lio%slen was not a
baize-manufacturer at Rumford.

John Bog lives at No. 40, Castle-street ; bas
lived one year and a half there ; witness bought
the last tenants out ; knows Bowden ; the ;Ac-
ceptance is his writing; remembers the bill being
presented. Witness said he was surprised at Bow.
den's taking the liberty of making it payable at
his house.

Cross-examined—ls not an admitted Attorney,
but managing clerk to Mr. French ; told the No-
tary that there were no effects; said to the Notary
he Was surprised at the bill being presented at his
house, and never heard-of Bowden
.carrying on
business at Rumford.

Mr. Warden, the prisoner's attorney, was ready
to prove subpoenaing Bowden; but the Learned
Judge would not permit it, saying, that the re-
gular way would have been to have moved in the
first instance to put off the trial.
Lukin made inotriries by direction of Mr:
garden to find out Bowden, and saw him on
Sunday week in the Fleet Prison, and served a
copy of a subpoena ; Bowden was not a prisoner.
James Rogers, the Notary, again called—Had
no recollection of any conversation having taken
place with Bogg when the Bill was presented ;
cannot swear that a conversation did not pass.
The Learned Juoca summed up the evidence,
and told the Jury he.. should desire them in th'e
first place to say, whether there was such a per-
son as Thomas Bowden ;, and if they wete of opi-
nion that there was, still he should Advise them
to find. the prisoner guilty, and be would then re-
serve the matter for the opinion of the Twelve
Judges, uponjhe point of, whether the wilful
mis-direction in the place of abode was or was not
a forgery ►vithin the meaning of the Act.
The Jury, in a very short time, declared as their
opinion, that there was no such person as-Thomas
Bowden, and upon being told that they must find
the prisoner guilty, they returned a Verdict of
Guilty.,
In the course of the second trial, the Judge or-
dered the itnmediate commitment of Johnson, the
witness on the first indictnri;nt..

There were
several other indictments against
he prisoner, the trial of which was of course ren-

(Wed unnecessary by the present conviction.

CIVIL SIDE.
The Cranborne Chase Cause way postponed till
he next Assizes, from the non-attehdance of

the Special Jury, neither party being willing to
pray a talea.

geon and apothecary, practising at Rochford, in
this county, against the plaintiff, a resFectuble
practitioner in the same place.

The facts of the case were these :—The plain-
tiff bad been called in to afford his professional
assistance to an unfortnnate woman, who laboured.
under an ephemeral' hernia, or rupture,
,the dan-,
gerous -state tit which,'on his being first called in,
dictated the necessity of an operation being per-,.

of remedy that is usually resorted to in such
cases, be declared that nothing could save his pa•

' obstinate in her determination, and the dsleudant
was called in, who, without the plaintiff's know_
ledge, soon after perfOrmed the operatiOn, Orciar-
ing after it that the patient coup not survive half

'.c what time she had 'died ;" but was informed
that she was not dead.- He then expressed his
surprise, and on being informed that the plaintiff
hod been there, he burst Out into invectives
against hiM, declating that he (the plaintiff)
'uev&r walked an hospital, or attended a lectute
in his life, and ex'pressing his surprise that he was
hot 'ashamed to spew his head in the place. The
Otieot died Its ten days after the operation.
