After the Rsrontssa had passed sentence on the
above prisoners, a man was brought up, who, it ap-
peared, had upon the trial of George Stanley, on
Thursday last, given him an excellent character,
when, in fact, he knew that he had been before tried,,
at the Old Bailey, and convicted. The Court, indig-
nant at the attempt to impose upon them, had corn-,
mitted him, and he was now brought up to be dis-
charged. The RYAY/RDER addressed him in an em-
phatic manner upon the.enormity of his conduct ;
and assured him, that nothing but regard to his fa-
mily, which, from the variety of petitions and inter-
cessions for him, he had foundto be considerable, and
dependent upon him, would.have induced the Court
to let him pass with so slight a punishment. The pri-
soner bowed respectfully and withdrew.
