for high treason, in coining pieces resembling shit-
ling: and sixpences, the current coin of the realm._
The prisoners had separate apartments in Wild-street,
Drury-lane, which they took as engravers and dye.
sinkers. Armstrong, an officer, went to an upper
room, where he found the son working a kind of cut-
ting machine. He also found sheets of copper in
number, with blanks cut out ; the whole apparatus
necessary for coining ; and a quantity of counterfeit
shillings, in a finished state. Some lodgers in the
house prOved having frequently heard the rnacl.ine at
work, and that the fisher had access to. the son's
apartment, and was often there.
In defence, the prisoners said, they used the ma.
chine and other articles in their business; and, in
corroboration of this, several witnesses were called,
who proved, they had employed the prisoners to cut
out watch caps, wheels, &c.—Guikradleath.
