justice, and called there on the day the prisoners were'
taken. There were found various articles necessary
for the fabrication of counterfeit coin, and Leonard'
took, several blanks from the bed ; Leonard also
shewed witness some counterfeit sixpences, which,
she said, required fresh colouring, and she saw het
bend them with her teeth, to make them pass with
more facility. On cross-examination, witness said,
herhitsband was now undergoing a fine for passing
bad three shilling pieces, and she had b ien in the same
predicament.

or the prisoners, in a court in Grub-street, on the 21st
of April ; a womin looked out at the window, and
immediately after witness heard steps hastily up and
down stairs, and the jingling of money. Witness, on'
going up stairs, found the prisoners in a confuseif
state. In the room he discovered all the necessary
apparatus for coining, and a number of blanks and six-
pences partly finished. Guilty—Death. • I
