He then took out of his pocket-book a note drawn at
one month by Maj:w Thornton on Collier and Son,
and accepted.
Mr. Jullice Lawns net then defiled him to pro-
duce the note. The Profecutor Paid he had loft it ;
that he had it About him laft Saturday, when he at-
tended in Conrt, and when he went home he could
neither find it, nor any of the other papers which he
had in his pocket. To feveral queflions put to him
by the Court he Paid, he fuppofed his pocket mull
have been picked ; but that he was not confcious of
it at the time, and did not know the note or papers
were gone until after he got home ; nor had he any
reafon to think they were. He allowed he made no
attempt to recover it by polling hand bills, or making
enquiries, theft means not burins; occurred to him,
and if they had, he did not conceive the time would
allow him, having only loft it on Saturday !aft.
James Gilmore, the officer, who apprehended the
prifoner, then informed the Court, that he law a let-
ter in the 'mod of the profecutor relating to this
triad, and that there was money in it.
The profecutor Paid, he had received a letter with
money in it ; but, on opening it, faw it could not be
intended for him, and therefore fealed it up again, in
which hate it now lay.
Mr. Jullice Lawnstics raid, he could not but fuf-
pea him of mitcondull, as it appeared from his ex-
amination before the M•gi hates, that he wrote to the
father of the prifoner, and defined him to call at his
houle. His Lordfitip then enquire& whether there
was any perfon in Court who could prove the lien&
writing of Major Thornton or of Collier, and finding
that there was none except Mr. Collier himfelf, ob-
ferved to the Jury, that as the bill was not forth-
coming, nor any competent witnefs in Court who law
the bill, and could prove the hand writing, they mutt
acquit the prifoner.
Mr. Jullice LAWRENCE and Mr. Jaftice CHAMBRE
then. confulted together for a fliOrt time, after which
James Gilmore, the officer, was ordered to be (worn.
He depofed, that on Tuefday laft he appointed to
meet Mr. Batter, for the purpofe of preferring the.
bill of indictment. againfl the prifoner.
Mr. Nichol, at the office, informed them, that he
could not proceed, unlef, lie had the forged bill, and
d:fired Baiter to bring it to him in the evening.—
*Baiter then laid, he did not know where to find it ;
that he had loft it tome days before ; however, on
learning that he would forfeit his recognizance if he
did not prefer the indiClment, he produced the bill.
He farther hated, that there was another bill againft
the prifoner; but that Mr. Chappel, who htld it,
not being bound over to profecute, laid he had loft
his bill alto.
Mr. Jullice Lamar rice then ordered that Mr.
liter's recognifance Mould be eftreated in the Court
.hequer. He might then, he laid, have an op-
icy of thawing caufc againft the eftreat, and of

proving, that be did every thing in Ms power to pro- I
fecute the prifoner to convietion.
The prifoner was of courte acquitted and dif-
charged.
7. Dobbin: and y. Pete ere, for putting in fear Ann
Batley, cn the King's highway, and taking from her
a quantity of (even fltilling pieces and fome filver.—
The profecutrix Rated, that the firft taw the prifo-
ners at the Red Lion, at Afton, on the Both of June,
where the called with a couple of friends. After
having drank a glafs of peppermint and fome porter,
her friends retired ; and the prifoners, who were
foldiers in the Militia, requefted to bear her compa-
ny, as they were going the fame road. Witnefs con-
tented, and on arriving at a hay field, about half a
mile from the public houfe, the prifoners threw her
down, punted a handkerchief into her mouth, and
mated her, after which they robbed her of her mo-
ney and left her.
Mrs. Eliz. Palmer, landlady at the Red Lion,
Rated that the profecutrix was much difguifed in
liquor at her houfe on the day Rated. She behaved
in tech an unruly and indecent maner, that the was
obliged to force her out of the boufe. She was killing
the prifoner Patmore, and Paid the would not leave
the houfe until he went with her. The prifoner Paid
he would not go without his brother foldier was alfo
permitted to go with them, which the profecutrix rea-
dily contented to ; they then left the houfe all drunk
together. Several other witneffes were examined,
who fpoke of the wanton and indecent way in which
the profecutrix condutled herfelf. There was no
confirmatory evidence of the robbery Welt; and the
profecutrix was unable to account for the poreffion
of the money Rated to have been taken from her, by
any other means than that a Lady had given it to
her in the ftreet as a charitable aft.

The Judge did not fuffer the cafe to go to the Jury,
and the prifoneri were acquitted.

Jas. were tried at Hicks's Hall for an affault upon
Jofeph Minna, (errant to the Hon. Mr. Peterbo-
rough. Thomas Brennan, On. was indicted in a
feparate bill lor an affaidt up.m Jofeph Moaning, of
Lower Brook-greet, fruiterer.
The evidence for the profecation Rated, that at
on the t tth of May, at half after four, the protect'.
for was fent for by Mrs. B wife of one and mother
of the other piifoner, to go to the Red Lion, in
Doik,-lireer, Mancheßer-lquare. He took a friend
with him, a foldier belonging to the 111 regiment of
Guards. After fome kind words from the woman,
the profecutor attempted to ge away, but was re
peatedly laid bold of by bath the prifoners, who
laid that he had been a failor on board the fame fri.
gate with the younger Brennan, and that he molt go
with them on board the tender. The foldier finding
that no authority was produced for fuch condutt, re-
leafed Morton for that time and went away ; a lea-
faring man who was prefent alto went away on hear-
ing the perfon fo threatened fay that he was never
at fea in his life. The prifonen, however, followed
him and made repeated efforts to get him into a
hackney coach %bleb was waiting at the door. His
uncle, Mr. Moaning, was informed of what was
palling, and came up during the feu& ; and partly
by his means the nephew efeaped.
A fhort time after that the younger Brennan
came up to Moaning, in the greet, whilft he was
(peaking to a friend, and knocked him down. It
was acknowledged, however, by Moaning, that the
father and mother had both told him, while he was
in the public houfe, and in the prefence cf the pro-
fecutor, that he was ferved in the manner he then
was on account of his behaviour to their daughter
Hannah, who is about t 6 years of age.
Mr. Rsvaows, Coonfel for the prifoners, made a
very ffrong and animated appeal to the Jury, asvfa-
then and as brothers, as to what they would not have
been themfelves urged to have done, in the cafe of
their daughter or their finer being dilhonoured by a
profligate, and, inflead of compenfation being given,
tome contrition expreffed, or reparation offered, if
they find that intuit was fuperadded to the crime.—
He alto endeavoured to impeach the teftimony of the
profecutor.
The Cuatastax, however, obferved, that the at-
faolt was clearly proved ; and the Jury found the
prifoners guilty. Thomas Brennan, the elder, was
fentenced to be imprifoned fix months for his offence;
and Thomas Brennan the younger, fix months for
each affault.

.71/06 Higgin, a watchman in St. Giles's pari(h,
was fentenced to be imprifnned two months, for two
dillinet acts of affault and Falk imprifonment. The
protecutors (fated that the watchman had &it made
a charge of affitult againfl them ; but that the cafe
had appeared to be fo infamous, that they were or-
dered by the MitOrates of Marlbotoogh-(Meet Po-
lice Office to inllitute the prefent profecution ; and
that the prifoner and his friends had infulted. and
threatened them fince they had preferred the bill of
inditiment againit the prifoner.—Adjourned.
