ie fhopt and bought an aitch-bone of beef, in
rrent ef which he tendered a 21. note, but this
was given hack to him, and he was afked for
aller one.—He then gave a 11. note, which was

eof the meat beink Jeduaed. When the wit-
afked the man for his name and place of abode,
mentioned James Edmonds, No. 9, King-
t, Mile End New Town, which he wrote down

witnefs law the prifoner at the Police Office,
Swell, and believed him to be the man who
given him the bad note, but could not port-
ly fwear to him : to the belt of his knowledge
vas the fame perfon.

[hop at the time the man came to buy the beef,
to the belt of her knowledge the prifoner was

. foiling man who was fervent to the profecu-
was more potitive in his teftimony. He Paid,
man who came into the fliop and palled the
in qtleßion, remained' there a quarter of an
during which time he had an opportunity
!eing him, there being a great light in the
• and he had no doubt but that the prifoner
the man. The WitZdS went to Xing-ftreet,
re that man raid he lived, and there was no
9, in the fireet, nor any perfon of the name
:dmonds living in rt.
fr. 131 ifs, the rapetor of Notes at the Bank,
mined the note in queition, and Paid the whole
was a forgery.
'he next vritnefsa.gainft the prifoner was a per-
named Benjamin Pritchardo whO might be
fidered in the nature of an accomplice. This
on Paid, he was a patten-maker, and lived at
1 3-oafireeet, Mile End Nest Town. He

- the prifoner aiked him for a el. note, its ex-
age for five tL notes, which he gave him, and
ived the (mall notes. One of there fmall notes
refufed as a bad one, and the witnefs returned
the prifoner, who without any hefrtation gave
another inf4atd of it. Some time after this,
he month of November, the witnefs raw the
oner with a great many notes in his hand, and
hen told the wand's that fume of thefe notes
e good and form bad, and that he confidered
very good thing for him if he could pay away
bad note a week, as it would help him when
legan bulinefs. On the Saturday night after
converfation took place, the prifoner brought
re an aitch-bone of beef, of about the fame
with that defeilbed by young Rodrigues, to
witnefs's honk, which %vas intended for the
owing day's dinner. The witnefi and the
Otter ufed to boy meat finnetimes at Rodrigues'
o. On the r9th of December the prifoner de-
forne clothes of his to be left for him at the
odfor Cafile public-bottle in Holborn, as he
he was obligc_d to go away to the country in
vat hurry. When the witnelb wet* to the ;wi-
n' at that houfe, he law him burning a wan
of papers which looked like banlknotcs, and
hug the poker over them, to keep them down
1 they were confumed. He told the witnefs
at this time that he hail had fame trouble about
lation of his, named Francis Wooldridw; who
been taken up for bad notes.
'is witnefs underwent a long croft-ensunina•
by. Mr. ALLEY, the object of which was to'
v that he turned evidence againft the prifoner
ire hirneell from a profecutacm. He GR, he
been fent to Coldbath-Fields Prifon, becaufe
e notes were found in his poffeffron ; he Paid,

refufing to be a witne4; againft the prifoner
ferried his having employed an attorney ; but

:fled to the qneatos ; and after feverai argu.
its urged by the Counfel on both fides, the
in *tided that the queftion might be put, if
witnefs did not obje& to it; but that evidence
IS not be calledto contradiet what the witnefs
di Rote in his anfwev. The winters thou raid,
sad been profeceted once fir felony, but was
ourably acquitted; and he never was found
Iry of an offence in his life.
Llamas Ferrarty kid, he was a frnith, and
d near Roleurary-lane. On the tilth of De-
'Der fall be met the ptifdner, appointfnent,
public-hook in Holborn. He was then about
late a converfation which took place between
Ind the prifoner, relative to fcveral forged
ts, when
dr. Gvatter and Mr. ALLEY, OA the part of
prifoncr, objected to this evidence. They raid,
ent to charge other crimes againft the intfoner
ch were not on the record before the Coert,
that it would be giving evidence on one felony
rove another.
It. Gsaaow milled that he had a right to a&

a- of his having had a number of notes in his
diem which he knew to have been forged, in
to (hew to the Jury that he knew the

to hive been forged.
fie was followed by Mr. FIBLDISC, Mi. t NOW.
, and Mr. G 11143.

• ..
The Court was of opiniOn that the evidence
•
fhould be received.

The witnefs then proceeded. He met the pri-
foner at the houfe appointed, for the very purpofe
of taking a parcel of bad notes from him, to go
round and pals them for him. He told the wit-
ncfs that he had Itimfelf paired feveral of his bad
notes on the Surry fide of the water and through
the Borough of Southwark. He faicehis notes were
at the houfe of Pritchard, where he defired the
witnefs to call and get force of them He after-
wards went and gave information of all this to
a Police Officer, who took the prifoner into cuf-
tody. The witnefs, in his crofs-examination, Paid,
he bad fnmetimcs gone by the nick•name of Baker,
that he had been once taken up, but never con-
' vided of any crime.
The prifoner, in his defence, called a man, nam-
ed Brown, from the vicinity of Wolverhampton,
who (wore that Pritchard was a min of an infit-
moos character, and not to be believed on his
oaths but this witnefs, on crofrezamination own-
ed he had heard notbiog of Pritchard for the laft
ten years, and that he hinthlf came up to town
for the purpofe of conducting the prifoner's de-
fence.—Two or three other perfons were called to
fpeak to the prifoner's charader.
After Mr. Baron TROMPSOII delivered his
charge, the Jury, without retiring, found the pri-
funer Guilty--Dratb.
And three were convided of felony., viz.

John Lazouch, for healing feVeral Printed books,
the property of Francis Pinney.
Jofeph Roger 1, for healing four leather traces,.
the property of Mr. Joihtta Golding, coach-maker.
Jofeph Coates a young lad, fur -healing a filver
watch, metal Chain, real, and key, the goods of
Jofeph Stephens.
This cafe, which in fame of its circtflnllances
was rather curious, was clearly proved again*
the prifoner, upon which a verdift of °Nib, en-
feed.

Yefterday feVen prifoners were tried at the Old
Bailey, two of whom were capitally cored-died.
Benjamin l'ailey was pat to the Bar ;—ht is a
Carter and alto a carrier of letters belonging to
the Poll-oflice : was tried at the 120 Septtraber
Seffions, for Healing a Banker's check of the value
of zool. out of a letter fent from Maidflone to a
perfon at Mile End, and then convicted, but his
cafe was referred for the opinion of the jndges
upon a point of Law, which, asvOe underftoocl,
was this, whether the Banker's cheek dated at a
dillance from London, fo as to require a Ramp upon
it, and which had no (lamp, could be Hated in an
indictment, as Sts inhrument of the value of sod.
or any other valise, fo as that filch an indictment
might be held good
Upon this the determination of the judges was
in favour of the prifoner. He was detained upon
another indictment for limply (leafing the letter
in which this check was inclofed, and was now
tried upon that charge.
The tingle queftion now was, Whether the Pri-
foner did or did not Real the above-mentioned let-
ter in the Penny Poll-office, that is, in the depart-
Meat of the General Polk-otfice, which is appro-
priated for receiving, and out of which are deli-
vered Penny-poll letters, that is, letters which are
not delivered in town out of the General Poll-
office, bat fent from thence through the medium
of the Penny-poll ? This point depended chiefly
on the evidence of a perfon of the name of Hill,
who admitted that he was 'an accomplice in
the theft, and Suit he had had half of the pro-
duce of the ftolen check for two hundred
pounds.—Upon which Mr. jullice LAWRENCE
told the Jury, that fuch a witnefs was not entitled
to credit, farther than he was corroborated by
teftimony that was more creditable than his ovotn.
' He was, however, corroborated in many of' the
molt important particulars of the cafe, the detail
si which we nerd not cater into, becaufe the
whole of the one it already before the public in
the account which Was given of the former trial.
The Jury found the Irrifoner Guilty. He is al
years of age, and fevcral very refpeCtable perfons
gave him a very good charaaer.
Two were corroided of felony, viz.
' Sarah Jew, for /foaling four pair of pattens,
the property of George Paulin&
terms& iroddridge was tried upon an Indictment
charging him, Aril, with forging a xl. note, pur-
porting to be a Bank Note. Other counts, and
indeed the only material ones, charged the prifo-
ner with-uttering this forged note. knowing it to
be forged, with intent to defnuid the Governor
and Company of the Lank of England. Other
Counts charged it to be done with intent to defraud
Mark Illaerand Ifrael Ifreel.

The ?rifoner is the brother of the perfon who
was tried for the fame offence on Monday, and con-
viaed.

There was no difficulty whatever about proving
that the note in queftion, purporting to be a Bank
Note for 11. was a forged n-de, nor any about the
fait that the prifoner uttered it : the only point on
which any difficulty could raft was, that of efta-
blifhing that the prifoaer knew this note to be
forged at the time he uttered it ; and this depend-
ed mainly on the evidence of a perfon of the name
of Ferrarty,who was exaniined on the cafe of James
Wooldridge, on Monday, and he save an account
of the prifoner having made an appointment with
him at the Windfor Cagle, in Holborn, where he
faid they entered into an agreement, (a feigned
one on the part of the witnefs, as he faid) to plun-
der the public, by putting falfe notes into circula-
tion. He gave an account too, of the prifoner's
baring told him he had been in the habit of pall:
ilia a number of forged Bank Notes.
The Learned judge fummcd up the evidence,
r and the Jury, after much deliberation, found the
Prifoner No Gail*.
John Bpm:id, the driver of the Banbury flair-
coach from London to Aylelbury, was indiaed
for ha'ving, on the 27th of November, felonioutly
and fraudulently embezzled, fecreted, and made
away with the funs of nine (killings, which he had
reeeived on account; See. of his Mailers, Meffrs.
Thomas Fagg, and William Pratt.
Mr. Fagg employed a Mr. George Pallifer, who
defcribed himfclf to be a profefficmal man, and, at
prefent, to aC is the Conveyancing line, to deter

the prifoner in Ids fraudulent praftices. By MI
account of this perfon, the prifoner received nine
Millings as a fare from him, from Chalfont St.
Peter's, Bucks, to Landon; that he duly paid it
to him, at the Green Man and Still, Oxford-
ftreet, and went the journey contraited for. He
dated, there was no other palTenger then in the
coach. By the evidence of the Book-keeper, it;
appeared this fare was not accounted for by the
Prifoner--Not
The fame perfon was tried upon a fecund indita-
ment, in all its material cireumnances differing
very little from the firft. Verditft—Nor Gui 4.
The Prifoner was then tried upon a third indi&-
ment upon the fame general grounds, embezzling,
&c. the monies of his Mailers. The Jury brought
in a third time, a Verdi& of acquittal.
We underftand there are other indiamentsl
againft this prifoner, for which he remains to be '
tried.
