John Walkley, aged .50, was indicted, charged
with having stolen, on the 13th of February last,
seven Bank of England notes, of the value of 100/
each, and other notes of the value of 20/., and
George Walkley, aged 24, was indicted for receivAg
the same, knowing them to have been stolen.
Mr. CURWOOD, with whom was Mr. CHICHES-
TER, said the circumstances of this case were of a
singular nature. The prosecutor was an American
Captain, in the merchant service. He came to this
country in the autumn of last year, bringing with
him 300 or 400 ounces of silver, for which he re-
ceived at the Bank the sum of 8201. His intention
was to lay out his money in cutlery for the South Sea
market; but previous to his making the investment
he met the prisoner James Walkley at a public-
house he frequented in Crutched-friars, and having
given him some pecuniary assistance, was by the pri-
soner invited to go to see him, at Rodborough, in
this county, where he resided, and had formerly
carried on the trade of a butcher. The prosecutor
being desirous of seeing a little of England before his
departure, went to Birmingham, Sheffield, Glou-
cester, and different other towns, and then to. call
upon the prisoner. He carried the money which he
had received for the dollars with him, and the pri•
sorer being apprised of that circumstance, recom-
mended him to leave it at home with his wife to take
cue of. The prosecutor placing implicit confidence in
the prisoner,consented,and it remained in the care of the
prisoner's wife till one day it was proposed they
should all go to the Petty- Sessions which were to
be held at Gloucester. The prosecutor, finding they
were all about to leave the house, insisted upon
having his money hack, which he thought would be
in danger if left ►n an empty house, and after some
difficulty it was returned to him. lie kept it for
some time, and again yielding to the persuasions of
the prisoner, gave it to the prisoner's wife to take
etre of for him. On that occasion he lent the pri-
sor►er 10/., and he then observed that a .50/. note
was missing; he did not charge the prisoner with
having taken it, but while he •was examining his
notes the prisoner snatched one of 100/. from him,
and put it in his pocket. The next morning at
breakfast the prisoner returned that note of 1001. to
the prosecutor, and said he was going to Wood-
chester. The prosecutor said he would go to
Stroud, and they both set out together; but when
the prosecutor got to Stroud the prisoner, instead of
proceeding any further, returned back to the house,
and having obtained from his wife the prosecutor's
money, immediately left home, and was not heard
of till he was apprehended _on the present charge.
The prosecutor, after making every inquiry about
the prisoner, at last proceeded to the house of a
lady in London, where the prisoner's daughter -was
in service. He could gain no information of him
there, but the mistress of the prisoner's daughter put
a letter into his hands, which had been written by
the prisoner to his daughter,and would leave no doubt
of his guilt. The Learned Counsel then read the
letter.

Mr. C. PHILLIPS and Mr. WATSON appeared for
the defence.

Michael Cluney said, lam an American mariner,
a captain. I arrived here two years ago. I brought
with me 4,000 dollars; they were lodged in the
bullion office at the Bank of England, and I re-
ceived 8201. for them. Last autumn I resided at
22, Savage-gardens. 'I used to spend my evenings
at the French Horn, Crutched-friars. I there be-
came acquainted with the prisoner. lie then looked
a little more respectable than he does now. The
prisoner told me that when at home he resided at
Rodborough, in Gloucestershire. Wishing to see a
little of England, Iceme into Gloucestershire, and
called upon the prisoner at Stroud, and found him
living in a small house, above the Fleece inn. I
took up my lodging at the prisoner's house, as he
advised me to stay there instead of the Fleece inn,
to save expense. I had nearly 8001. about me; the
prisoner knew it, and he recommended me to leave
it with his wife for safety. I then counted it out,
7201., to his wife, and told her to keep it safely, as
I should leave in a day or two. After breakfast the
prisoner said he should go to Woodchester. I
never saw him again till about the 23d of June. I
went out again, and returned home again at seven
o'clock, and about eleven o'clock at night I learnt the
prisoner had gone to Stroud, and taken the money
with him.

Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS—I was in-
troduced to this man at a respectable public-house
in London. I went with the prisoner to Windsor
before I went to Stroud; I paid the expenses of that
trip. We were there two days. I accepted a share
of the prisoner's bed in the cottage. I did so also
at Windsor. I don't know that I did that at Wind-
sor to save expenses. I have written letters to the
prisoner. [A letter was here handed to witness by
the Learned Counsel.] I believe this is my hand-
writing. lam not quite sure. You may have it so
as you like. I don't doubt it. 1 think it is. That
letter referred to my having missed some shirts. I
slept in the same bed with the prisoner several times
after I thought he had stolen my shirts. When the
prisoner could not get employment in London,
offered to pay his quarter's rent for him.
Mr. Serjeant TADDY here asked Mr. Curwood,
whether, under the circumstances of this case, it
was to the public interest that this case should go on.
Mr. CuttwooD did not wish to press it, but the
defence set up was no legal answer to the case.

Mr. Serjeant TADDY—It may or it may not be,
but the circumstances are of a nature so peculiar,
that I very much doubt the propriety of proceeding.
Cross•exami nation continued—The prisoner's wife
and child left his house every night for about three
weeks, for my accommodation.

Mr. Sedeant TADDY—Why did not you get an•
other bed ? Witness—l don't knew, my Lord; the
prisoner asked me to stay at his house.

By Mr. C. PHILLIPS-Why did you not sleep in
a separate bed at Windsor ? Was it to save expense
you both slept in one bed there ? Witness—l don't
know. There was only one room in the prisoner's
house. I gave the prisoner 10/. to go down to his
family, and he is not the first I have given pounds
and pounds to.

Ir. C. PHILLIPS—I dare say not, Sir.
Mr. Setjeant TADDY—Gentlemen of the Jury,.
allowing for the difference of habits of other coun
tries, this case must rest on the credit you give to
this man. If you think you can attach any credit to
his testimony, we will go on with the case.
The Jury, after consulting together for a few mi-
nutes, said they had no doubt .the witness's credit
might be good..
Itwak here mtimate4 that the lallies must leave
