ference. Rogers defiring he might put his name

The perfim, in whole lioafe the n, rifoner lodged,
fwore lie had lived there from riecember to the
time of his being taken up ; that letters and par-
cels came dire led to him by the more of Hart-
wi ight, and that he never went by the tante of

The evidence was, that the Profeentor's. wife
had Peen the prifoner take up the article in quer-
tion, and run away with it, from her houfe
.in if
lington. She immediately gave the alarm, and
the prifoner was purfned,during which he threw the
caddy over the rails of an area, and was afterwards
taken. The woman ahfolutely fwore to leis iden-
tity.—The witneffes, who faid they had known
him from two to three years, gave him a good'
charailer. He alfo called upon one of the Offi.
cers of the Court, who faid he believed his evi-
dence could be of no ufe to him. He had known
him formerly, but had not feen him there liven
years pall —He was found Guilty-- •Tran:feilation.
And the Officer's having miffed him for to long a
time, feemed to be well accounted far, as the pri-
foner had (petit the fah feven years in Botany Bay.
And nine were acquitted, viz. H. Mitchell, Ann
Duff, Mary Hate, IV. Morgan' Ana Hathaway, IV.
Farrell, J. Sinentavtir, R. 3wallo w and
Mina: Hamner, for forging. and counterfeiting
a certain acquittance and receipt for payment of
two guineas, purporting to be the receipt of one
Henry Skinner, with intent to defraud George
Grey. It appeared that he went to a bottle to
demand that ikon, which was a fort of rate, and
Paid he came from one William Plumridge, a Sur-
veyor, for whom he was to receive the money.—
The people defined him to write a receipt, which
he did, and lie was immediately taken into cuftody.
Mr. Cost mon St et Lauri:aid it was an abomina-
ble ail on the part of the profecutors, to entrap
the prifoner into the commiflion of a capital fe-
lony, by atking him to lign a receipt ; whereas, if
he had received the money, his offence would have
amounted only to Pimple felony. The conlegnence
was, that by being acquitted, he mita efcape pu-
nilhment altogether. It was not pnfitivcly proved
that there was no Inch perfon as William Plum-
ridge, or that the prifoner had not been employed
by him.—l Gado.
