The Commissioners asked whether it was not often
found necessary to make alterations in the style of
such productions?
The Gentleman who appeared for the defendant re-
p'•ied, certainly it was often found by the printer abso-
lutely necessary to make use of his common sense,
and make alterations for the benefit of the advertiser
and credit of the country, as such execrable stuff was
constantly sent that few would read, and fewer still
undertatid, if it were inserted in its original form.
'file COURT were clearly of opinion that a News-
paper Proprietor could not be called upon either to
rc•inxrt or return the money fig an advertisement,
on the ground of inaccuracy, when that inaccuracy
arose from an accidental error that did not materially
aiect the sense. It appeared here to have been an ac-
,:idental error of that nature: therefore they dismissed
the plaintiff's case.

after the acceptor of the bill, but could not hear of
any such person ; he kept the bill till it was nearly
due, and then gave it to his son-in-law to get payment.
The prisoner was apprehended about two months after
the bill fell due.
By Mr. ADOLPIIUS —The bill might have been a
week at his son's, and a night at his solicitor's. Had
been at Mark-lane and other places. After the bill
fell due he called on the prisoner every week, and
was always assured that the acceptor would come i
forward and pay.
Mr. Palmer, son-in-law to Mr. Walker, presented
the bill when it became due, at No. 2, Pope's-head-
alley. It was in the lower part of the house, and
there were names or signs in the staircase. These be
examined ; Mead was not one of the, names. -
By Mr. ADOLPHUS—He went to Pope's-head-alley
with the bill when it became due.
A clerk to Mr. Guillandean, attorney, in No. 2,
Pope's-head-alley, stated that no person of the name
of Mead lived there. Remembers Mr. Palmer calling
and making inquiries after Mead, and no such per-
son could be found. He made this inquiry with a
view to noting the bill for protest.
. By Mr. ADOLPHUS—The apartments above stairs
are let by a housekeeper, she furnishing Mr. Guinan-
dean with the names of those who take Chambers.—
No lent had been received from a person of the name
of Mead, but he was not sure but such a person might
have come there and done business.
Mrs. Walker swore to the receipt of the letter.
Several witnesses were called by Messrs. ADOLPHUS
'and PLATT, and gave the prisoner a very excellent
chat acter. One said he had offered to rent a mill at
£6OO, and give Corney the management of it; others
,spoke to the extent of their transactions with him,
I and the regularity of his payments.
William Moore lives in Bishopsgate-street; he keeps
a stationer's shop, and wrote the body of the bill. He
' had drawn several bills for Corney, and this among
others. He has seen bills accepted at the time they
were drawn, but whether that was the case with the
bill in question he could not say.
Mr. Justice I3Ay LEY charged the Jury, and directed
them, that if the forgery was committed either in
Essex or in the City of London, as such it could
not come before a Middlesex Jury. The uttering
had certainly taken place in Middlesex. If the bill
was drawn upon an ideal person, it would, since it
purported to be for value received, involve a capital
charge. It was evidently a fraud, as it appeared to
give two securities, while it only gave one.
The Jury retired for three-quarters; of au hour, and
on their return found the prisoner—Not Guilty.

Tuesday three informations were laid before the
Magistrates of Newport, INlonmouthshite, against a
printer named Etheridge, for having published a
Paper, called the Newport Reeler.* and Monmouthshire
Register, on paper not duly stamped. The defend-
ant was summoned, and attended before the Magis-
trates, accompanied by his attorney. It appeared in
evidence, that the defendant had published several
Numbers of the Paper in question at irregular in-
tervals, whict he did to evade the duties imposed
by the Ist of George IV. on periodical publication.
The present informations were laid under 38 Geo. III:
tap. 78, which imposes a penalty of 201. on the printer
rpoblisher of any paper, containing public news or
intelligence, to which the proper stamp has not been
affize& The defendant produced a paper printed in
London, which, he said, was of a similar description to
his own, and was circulated without being stamped. In
answer to this observation, the defendant was told, that
the commission of similar offences by other individuals
suuld nut justify that with which he stood charged.
After some consideration, the Magistrates informed
the defendant they were clearly of opinion his publi-
cation was within the intent and meaning of 33 Geo
111. cap. 78.; that, in the prospectus, contained in
the first Number of his work, he stated it to be his
intention to issue, as often as might be found necessary,
a register of events which could in any way materially
affect the interests of the Public at large ; and that he
had subsequently carried that intention into effect,
by inserting in his work occurrences of a public and
losail noose. They therefore convicted him in three
p~llalties of £2O each, which the Act gave them no
power of mitigating, and issued warrants of distress
for their recovery, under which the defendant's press
and types were taken,

DRURY-LA NE.—Last night the Opera of Guy Man-
;tering was performed to a crowded audience. After
the Opera, a Farce, entitled Old and Young, •was pre-
sented for the first time. Its chief merit, indeed its
sole object, consists in affording. an opportunity for
displaying the versatility of that surprising girl, " little
CLA an FISHER." The plot, if so it may be called, is
this :—Mr. Wilton, a gouty, infirm, precise old bache-
lor, and admirably personated by Mr. TERRY, having
been early in life crossed in love, enjoys a life of single
blessedness in the delightful regions of Richmond.—
Ilk next of kin is a beautiful niece, who has, con-
trary to his consent, married an Officer of the name
of Mowbray, who resides at Lisbon. According
to the established and long-cherished custom of such
wayward old gentlemen, he considers disobedience
to his will a crime of too great enormity ever to be
forgiven, and for a considerable number of years he
holds no communication with her or her husband.—
However, as he descends the vale of years, and his
infirmities press upon him, he makes some inquiries
after his niece; and by some strange mishap he is in-
formed that she is the mother of ten beautiful children,
' and in great distress. The old Gentleman's heart re-
lents, and he resolves to have.the whole family home
to live with him, and accordingly writes for them;
but it turns out that instead of ten, his niece brings
home only one child,.a daughter. In order to deceive
the uncle, whose heart is fixed upon the ten children,
and to humour his whim, little Matilda (Miss Planar')
personates the characters of several little boys, her
supposed brothers, and plays such tricks and creates
such disorder in the house, that when the old Gentle-
man is ultimately undeceived, and finds in reality that
instead of, nine noisy boys, there is only one quiet and
interesting child, nothing can exceed his satisfaction.
In order to effect this consummation so desirable,
Miss FISIIER appears in a variety of characters anti
dresses, after the manner of Mr. MATHEWS, and comes
off with eclat in all. It affords a wider range for her
juvenile talents than Little Pickle, but the character
does not contain so many effective points. However,
her successful performance in an entirely new cha-
racter, at least proves this, that the extraordinary im-
p' essions site creates are not the result of forced in-
struction, but of high natural endowments.
COVENT-GA RUB/J.—The new Opera of Maid Marian
was repeated last night, and the performers having
become more perfectly familiarised with their respec-
tive parts, it went off with the utmost eclat. On the
conclusion of the Opera, Mr. ABBOTT apologised for
tile inability of Mrs. —HATTERLEY, through sudden
indisposition, to appear in the Afterpiece, The Two
Pages of Frcderick the Great, and craved the indul-
gence of the audience for Miss 13cautaorr, who per-
formed the part with good effect.
Cormac.—The.favourite neiv Pieces at this Theatre
meet with much success. Last night, notwieastand-
ing the inclemency of the weather, the House was
respectably filled.
Stumm—Mr. H. KrAIBLE's forcible acting, in the
well-written Pieces of the Sea Devil, and the Invui,
werabls, nightly receive the approbation of admiring
audiences. The Tread-Mill also furnishes a high
treat for the curious iu prison discfpline.

MICHAILL ANGELO, who was fond of seclusion,
being asked why he led so solitary a Art,"
he replied, "iS 'A jealous thing; 'it requires the whole
i}nd entire mart;"
