WEST4II4III2 SESSIO?b&

Yeflerday Richard Judge was indifted for a Mif-
demeanor, under the zoth of George IL for obtain-
ing money under falfe pretences.
The defendant was a porter, attending the Glou-
teller Coffee-boufe, in Piccadilly, and in the month
of November laft, carried a bailset of game, from
the Coach-office to Mr. Chambers, a banker, in New
Bond ftreet, and was paid three (billings aticl fix-
pence, as the catriage ; having produced the ufual
ticket for that purpole. Upon inquiry, however, it
turned out, that the ticket produced by the defendant
was a fabricated one, the aftual carriage only
amounting to two fhillings and tenpence, upon which
he was indifted.
Mr. ALLEY, for the defendant, contended at great
length, and wish his ufual ability, that his Client was
not indiftable under the Aft of Parliament of the 3oth
Get,. 11. but (hould have been inchtted under the
Statute of Frauds, (39th of George 111 ) And, as
no falfe pretence whatever bad been made nfe of,
only a turn of money demanded, and paid, in the
Very fill inaance. he could not be indifted for ob-
taining money under falfe pretences : and, however
guilty he might be of having committed a fraud, yet
he was entitled to an acquittal upon this indidtment.
Mr. KNAPP, on the other hand, infitted the defen-
dant was ponithable under this Aft, or at leaft under
the Aft of Henry VIII. for ufing falfe tokens.
The Learned CHAIRMAN, h.,wever, was of a dif-
ferent opinion, and contideted it a mixed queftion of
law and fait ; and the latter should go to the Jury,
who now expreffed a with to hear further evidence.
The Clerk of the Coach-Afice was then called, but
his tellininny did not go fufficiently to fatisfy the
charge in the lndiftment ; and Mr. ALLEY again
addretfed the Jury, and endeavoured to imprefs upon
their minds, the impollibility of their convifling the
defendant upon the prefent Indiftment.
The. Learned CHAIRMAN, in addrefting the Jury,
laid, he was afraid they did not quite undertland the
quettion. There was no doubt but that the defen-
dant was guilty of demanding a turn of money more
than he was entitled to ; but the quettion was, whe-
ther be had obtained it by any artifice or falfe repre
fentation ? He was punitbable for the prefent offence,
under another Aft of Parliament, upon which he
lhould have been i-Idifted. It feemed to him, there-
fore, that in point of law and right, the Jury could
nut fay he was guilty of obtaining money under falfe
pretences.
The Jury, after near half an hour's confultation,
brought in a Verdi& of—Not Guilty.
The Learned CHAIRMAN then told the defendant,
that although the Jury had done no more than their
duty in acquitting him, yet, that did not go to clear
his chat aazr ; toe real queltion had not been tried,
and he did not go nut of Court like an innocent man,
hut one that hat been merely fcrcened under a point
of law.

tendered Linifelt up to Chapman and Trott. as they
were coming to town, from Hertford Affixes, was
examined a fecund time, on his fir It confrflion before
a Magifirate—that about twelve years ago, in com-
pany with William Woodward, they murdered Dr.
Bailey, near Long Sutton, Lincolnfliire. Being
quellioned if he remained in the fame mind, he le.
canted, and laid, that he did not know what he was
about ; that what he had formerly Rated was all falfc ;
arta that Woodward was petfcaly innocent. Teti-

dren, at Upper Mayfield, on the 12th of January,
underwent the awful puniflunent fo juilly annexed to
the horrid crime of murder ! He Teemed fenfible of
his dreadful lunation, and ear nellly entreated the fpec.
tators to take warning by his fate.

years and a half ar, the Gcw:ral dined at Wilna,
with Dr. Prank, a celebrated phyfician, refiding in
that city. The convetfarion having turned upon the
abilities of Bonaparte, Gen. Bennielen obferved, t a
that he had attentively fiudied his different campaigns;
he had traced that General through the plans ot all
his battles; and that it appeared to him they were
generally almnfl the lame.—" He copies himfelf too
much," (,id Bennigfen ;is and were I ever to corn•

tire imputation of vanity) that I (horrid be able to
ci-mtend with him. It is a circumflance which can

iituation ; but I feel a conviaiun that I thould be able
to defeat this terrible antegonill." That this was
rot an ebullition of taflinels or prefumption, the events
of the IA three months have well proved.
