.earned Sergeant then entered into a detail of the various
ireurnstances subsequently di,eineed in• the evidence, and
'reins., in aggravation of clanlages, the topics usually ud-

vanced in actions of this description. Ile then called the
following witnesses :.---
Mrs. Woods.—l am the wife of John Weods. Miss
Phillips was on a visit with me last October. The de-
fendant was in the habit of coming to my house, and there
met the plaintiff. During his visits I sate that in his man-
ners towards• her he exhibited that degree of gallantry
which young men generally do to ladies. I saw nothing
more than this in his deportment. I, however, told him
that Miss,Phillips had no fortune. lie replied that he did
not want a fortune.

Mr. Sergeant WILDE declined cross-examining this
witness.

Mrs. Phillips, the Mother of the plaintiff, was then called
—I remember my dabghter having returned from a visit
to Mrs. Woods. On the Tuesday We after her return
Mr. Crutchly called eh her ; he did not re-
main long. That Was his first visit to my
house. I then ilved at Kentngton. I have since re-
moved to Kennington. He continued to visit at my house
for six months. For the first three months, or nearly
four, he came every day to us. I told him that nay daugh-
ter had no money; he answered that his work was done,
and that he did not want money. He dined with us on
every Sunday, with the exception of two only, for the six
Months. He always called nie " mother," Mr. Phillips
" father," and one of my daughters "sister." He treated the
plaintiff as his intended wife, sometimes calling her
"Mrs. W. C." (his own name is William,) and et other
times Susan. On the 20th of February, our hous€ was
broken open, and a part of the plaintiff 's clothes which had
been made for the wedding, were stolen. Among other
things her " under clothes," were taken away. He upon
that occasion asked whether these wedding-clothes could
be replaced in ten days. We did purchase the clothes and
they were brought home by the defendant in his chaise from
the linen-draper's. lie often talked of marriage ; upon one
occasion there was some talk about the wedding
cake. I asked who was to provide it—he laugh-
ed and said—. Surely not I." - I then promised to
get it. I romember that when a servant of mine was
about to leave us, Mr. Crntchly said that she would do
for him, upon which I observed, oh, no, she is not cook
enough for you; he often talked of marriage to the plain-
tiff; at one time my daughter said that she wished to be
married at Kensington church, upon which the defendant
expressed a desire that their marriage should take place at
Hellingdon, because his father and mother had been
married there; he always was desirous that his mar-
riage should take place in July. 1 remember his
proposing to meet my daughter at Notting-hill, but
she was prevented by indisposition from going there.
The last time he was at my house, ho took leave
of my daughter in the most affectionate manner, and on
going said to her, " good night, God bless you ; in a few
weeks I shall take you home with me." He never came
near us since. lam confident that he on several occasions
spoke of his marriage with my daughter, as an event that
certainly would take place.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WILLS.—Upon se-
veral occasions before his last visit, my daughter appeared
to be in very low spirits. The defendant wroto letters
her. They had some little differences about Mr. Cr • -
his 2 0 housekeeper.

OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

‘William. Quin, aged .17, was indicted for stealing a
;mepiece and other articles, value 84, from the dwelling..
,ouse of the Rev. G. Greis, of Vincent-square—Verdict
. Not Guilty."

Ann F. Clifton wee indicted for stealing from a letter,
on the 4th of October, a 51. Bank of England note; the
property of William Holmes, in her capacity of servant to
the General Post-office.
Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET, Mr. GURNEY, and Mr.
BOLLAND, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Anomms
for the defence.

The prisoner applied to the Court to postpone her trial, as
she had not received notice that the trial would come on
this morning, till ten o'clock last night, and her witnesses
both to fact and character had not yet arrived. She also
wished to wait till her Counsel (Mr. Adolphus) had arrived.
The Court asked if she would make affidavit of her not
having received notice, and was answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Anoi.rnus then entered the Court, and stated that
he had received no brief, and there must have been some
mistake. The prisoner said that Mr. Harmer's clerk had
told her that Mr. Adolphus was her Counsel.—(While
Mr. Adolphus was speaking, the brief was put into his
hand.)—He complained deeply of such neglect, and the
consequences of it to the prisoner.
The Court, however, gave him time to read his brief,
which he availed himself of, and
,afterwards consulted
with the prisoner.

A COUNSEL (whose name we could not learn) made ap.:
plication for the discharge of an order for estreating the re-
cognizances of Charles Lindon, the witness who did not
attend against Owen Daintry on his first trial.—The ap-
plication was rejected by the Court. '
Ann Frances Clifton, was then indicted, and pleaded
" guilty " to the larceny, in stealing the note, but pleaded
not guilty to a second indictitent for secreting and stealing
the letter, which charge would affect her life by the Post-
office Act.

Mr. GURNEY then stated to the Jury, that the prisoner
had pleaded guilty of the minor offence, and that the Post-
office would not offer any evidence on the capital charge.
The Jury then returned their verdict accordingly.
The prisoner was neatly dressed in a green cloth dress,
and appeared perfectly self-possessed, when consulting with
her Counsel, at the deck.

Nathaniel Peppiott was indicted for Laving disposed of
a forged note, for 51., knowing the same to be forged, with
intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank
of England.
Mr. Sergeant BosawguEr and Mr. BOLLAND attended
for the prosecution, and Mr. Anotxnus for the defence.

Elizabeth Falkener knew the prisoner by sight, and by
having formerly lodged in her house, No. 19, Royal Hos-
pital-row, Chelsea. Is a green-grocer. Prisoner, on the
10th of October, came to her shop, with another person
whom she did not know, to sell her some potatoes. Asked
her to give him change for a 51. note, which he gave her.
She gave him five sovereigns in change. He in-
dorsed it " Nathaniel Peppiott, Croydon." Nothing more

Witness left the note in Dubois's possession till witness

house. Had told her son that if he should see the

By Mr. Anomalies—Was always on friendly terms with
the prisoner. 'Was not sure that he wrote the word
n Croydon" when he wrote his name on the note, hut
knew that it had net been written while it was in her pos-
session. Ne wrote it of his own accord. The person
with the prisoner was an elderly man. Did not hear the
latter say that he was going to set him up in business as
hie agent, nor did she see prisoner give the sovereigns to
the other man directly he had received them. Prisoner
had collected debts for her, and she always found him
strictly honest.
Thomas Falkener, son of the last witness, was told
of the note by his mother ; had known Peppiot for four
years. Prisoner came to him in Covent-garden, on the
20th, and asked him how he did. Witness told prisoner
that his mother wanted to see him, about the potatoes.
Prisoner said that he would be down during the day.
By Mr. Anomics—When in Covent-garden, he did
not make any suspicious inquiry, such as " Does she not
want to see me for any thing else?" Did not know that he
always dealt in potatoes in Covent-garden-market.
James Dubois received the note and returned it, 33 stated
by prosecutrix. Mrs. Falkener at first hesitated, and said
it was not her note. Witness asked her how she knew
that it was the note, and she answered that she knew it by
the address being written in Tale ink. Had himself
marked it with his initials on receiving it from Mrs.
Falkener. Went again on the 20th to Mrs. F.'s house with
the constable, Weeks; saw the prisoner there at about
or 8 o'clock at night. Witness asked him if he knew that
the note which he paid to Mrs. Falkener was a forged one.
He replied, is it ? Witness asked from whom he received
it ? He replied, "of Mr. Sully, in payment of hay
which I sold to him." 'Witness asked who Mr. Sully was,
and prisoner said that he was a gentleman living at Pint_
lico, who kept a horse and a gig or two, and he had no
doubt would give him the money for it. Prisoner had a
and told them that if they would get into the gig he would
drive them to Mr. Sully's house. He drove to No. 12, Trellick-
terrace, Vauxhall-road, and said, " Here's where Mr.
Sully lives, I'll go out and get you
the money." Weeks,
however, would not let him, bet sent witness to make in.

Mr. Sully lived there." Prisoner heard what passed. Disco-
vered afterwards that the female was the prisoner's mo-
ther ; she said she knew nothing of a Mr. Sully. The pri-
soner then rushed into the hclnse and said, " yea, Yes
tell Mr. What d'ye call-him, to come here !" He also said
" Here's a forged note come home ; for God's sake give
me five sovereigns." At that moment there was a scream
