THE LATE MR. SUEIT.

He was attacked by an apnpleflic fit about two
months ago, from the effeas of which he would mod
probably have recovered if he had adopted a more
t: nperate fyftem of li:e.
He was early iniirhaed in Thuile, and was intend-
ed merely fora linger. He prlfeffed a very pleating
vgice, and great mulical talte. He made his firfi ap-
pearance in rrtblic when he was quite a boy, at a
place called Finch's Grotto Gardens, a kind of minor
Vanshall, the admiffion to which was fixpence. This
pi4ce was fituared in St. George's Fields, near the
King's Bench. There was a rotunda ii the Garden,
around which alltbe felbies of that neighbourhood ufed
to parade, like their faperiors in more didinguithed
circles.
In this place the ce!ebrated Tom Imam difplayed
the melancholy remains of his once admired vocal
powers, after he had reduced himfelf to poverty by
extravagance and didipation, and afforded a ftriking
warning to public performers in. general to fecure a
provition while their talents are in repute, and not to
depend upon a capricious Inultitude, in a profeflion
always expofed to the-dangers of competition, as well
as to its other uncertainties.
Suet, Tung dot ing sr feafon or two at this place, and
then was exalted to the Orchettra at Ranelagh, where
he Requited cAtficierable reputation as a very proroi-
'fing boy. His voice, however, did not improve in
fueh a manner as to induce his friends to expea that
he would obtain much dißinalon in the metropolis.
In a few years after he joined the roving bands of
tome provincial theatres, and at length became well
known and much admired as a comic aa-a- in feve-
ral parts of the kingdom, till his fame reached the
London Managers, and he was induced to accept au
engagement at Drury-Lane Theatre, where he made
his fird appearance in the year 1780.
His talents arc fo well known to the Public, that it
is not neceftiry to enter into a particular account of
his ptofeffional merit. It may, however, be fairly
Lard of him, that he was no copyist in his art. He
poffered original burnout', and though he occalionally
inclined to indulge the Galleries with a comic luxuri-
ance that bordered upon extravagance and buf-
foonery there was fo much quaintnefs, oddity, and
whim in his manner, that he muft have been a fevere
critic indeed who was not rather diverted than of-
fended. He was an excellent mimic to a certain ex-
tant, bat he never coffered the dangerous and invidi-
ous faculty to appear upon the Rage.

GON”.ISSION OF OYILR AND TERMINER.

join Galiwirer flood capitally indiEted on (even
counts for having felonioufly uttered a forged Guinea
Note, purporting to he of the Bank of Ireland, with
intent to defraud the Governor and Company of faid
Bank ; alto with intent to defraud Frederick E. Jones,
Efq
Andrew Colgan, office doorkeeper at the Theatre
Royal, Crow-Meet, proved that the prifoner came
and made a tender to him of the note in queltion,
for the purpofe of admittance into the gallery of the
Play bout': ; v:i!r:fs on infrebing the note difcovered
it was a forgery, and returned it to the prifoner, who
came hack and made a fec.ond tender of it, as witnefs
believed with a view to defraud; witnefs could not
identify the note tendered a kennel time as that of-
fered to him at RI li, but recognized the man alio
tendered it by a black ribtr.n which he had round
one of his fingers. He was taken into coftody, and
from grofs prevarication in his replies to different in-
terrogatories put to him relative to where he got it,
was found guilty.
.7olor Moran flood capitally inditted for having fe-
loninufly uttered (knowing it to be forged) a '3os.
note, purporting to be or the Bank of Ireland, with
ti view to defraud the Governor and Company there-
of; alio with a view to defraud James Ennis, trca-
fur er of a public charity.
Mr. Ennis &pored, that on a Sunday morning, at
a Charity Sernion in Rofemary-lane Chapel, the pri-
Piro. %mitt cd to him the note in quality, for change,
to take 3s. ont of it towards the charity ; witnefs
gave him five dollars, but on looking at the note his
fofpicions were excited that it was a forgery ; he
compelled the prifoner to return the dollars, and it
was th,orght expedient to have hint comtuitted to a
watch. Louie : on being interrogated there,, he (Aid he
got the note at his lodgings, iu Capel-greet, but olid
not know the* number of the hciufe ; be afterwars'a
told Alderman Stole, on being examined before him,
that he got it from a man in the county of Meath,
whom he did not know. This prifoner alto fell a
victim to his prevarication—as did
gam Donre/(p, for utterity a three guinea note,
purporting to be of the Bank of Ireland. This he
patted on a Mrs. Wilriamfon, from whom he' took
•fhoes, and received the change. He called himfelf,
at one time, hlnrphy, and at another Donnelly.
• It is fupet ?moo:: to ohferve that all there forgeries
were formally proved by the refpeaive clerks whole
fi:rnatures had been counterfeited.

lrei.zling a letter on the xtl,oclober lift, containing
a p.. 11 hill for to guineas, ilbied from the bank of
lltl-2ifrs. Finlay and Co.
It appeared that the prifoner was employed gene-
rally as mail-coach guard, and ocerdionally abed
within the office, dirpo.ing letters to have them mark-
ed. In this capacity he had rifted on the day laid in
the indi&ment, and was conceived to have thereby
an oppottnnity of ferreting the letter and note in
queltion, which, with fifteen others, were made pay-
able to a Mr. Atmftrong, in Longford, and encloled
to him.
It was proved that the prifoner was appointed
guard t, the mail coach as far as Maryborough. He
17:;!. de:treed by cnenellny, a tobacconift, in Thomas-
ttreet, from whom he bought two rolls of tobacco—
be for k them with him, and being interrogated where
he rreont to go, replied to Bridge-ftreet—he was fol-
ic wesi in contequence of fulpicions being excited, and

pnrfned to a cellar near the PAncsce,.where lie was
Apprehended uith the tobacco, which be was about

Mr. Dcj”ncoort and Mr. Gore were adducd,sl on
the tt:feriee as to his tharaner. They ga”e Firn an
excellent one as to honey before this tianfadion.
Baron Genoese formed up the evidence, and,
commenting upon the good chara9er which the
prifoner rec• ived, did not teem to confider it fuffc;tnt
to cu wti 41r the !ming evidence againtt him.— ler-
diet Guilty.
Bernard Degan being put to the bar, a copy of an
iodiElment lot high treafon was delivered to him pm--
fuant to Ole llatute. He applied then to the Court
to have C 'lintel and an Agent affi;:tned him, when
J. P. Curran and Leonard M.Nally, Efqrs. weie
atfigned as his Connie], and Mr. Millar as Agent ;
the ufual rule for Counfel and Agent to have accefs
to the prifoner, was alfo made by the Court.

JULY 10.
Arthur 0'1637, who flood capitally indised for
forging notes purporting to be of the Bank of lie
land, was acquitted yrllerday on the teliimony of
Matthew Byrne, an approver. The circumltances
advanced to uphold the depofitionc of Byrne were
two letters found by Mr. Wilfon, a Pace Officer, on
the perfon of the ptifoner, figned J. Porter, one from
Waterford gad, relatiie to tranfattions unequivo-
cally connected with forgeries. Thty were, however,
confiderea not fufficiently fining to warrant a verdia
of conviaion. The prifoner was, however, remand
ed to gaol until he finds fufficient fecurity to be of

the peace.
Thema: Darin and Henry Channel!, foldiers in the
9th regiment of foot, flood this day capitally inclin-
ed for robbing William Hawthorne, Efq. on his
Majelly's highway, of a gold watch, teal and chain.
Mr. Hawthorne identified the prifoners as two of
three foldiers who met him on a maun-thine night in
April laft, returning from a friend's houfe a hem lie
had dined near Cabra. The prifoners, whom he
identified, though at the time dreffed in great coats
and foraging cape, laid hold of him, knocked him
down, beat and cut him with bludgeons or large
flicks; they took the watch out of his fob, and from
his pocket a 4001. bill, two dollars, and a handker-
chief—they alto fitipped him of his limes.
A chain of evidence fupported the teflimony ofthe
profecutor, the principal a foldier who was ordered
with a party to purfue the prifoners, who were miffed
horn their barracks ; they were found hiding under
a fhed near the Circular Road, in the vicinity where
the robbery was committed. He found the 4001. bill
on the perfim of the prifoner Davis, with a private
memorandum ra;er.—The Jury returned a ♦erdikt
guilty without leaving the box.
• William Claw) flood capitally indieed for firing at,
with intent to murder, Alexander Campbell. He
alfo flood indifled on two aftsults, one on the faid
Campbell, and the other on Laurence Reilly, both
Sheriff's Bailiffs.

Reilly primed that he apprehended the prifoner on
a warrant under a writ from the High Sheriff of the
county of Dublin for 171. odd. The prifoaer at fit ft
while in his cullndy behaved with remarkable civili.
ty, and he felt difpored to accommodate him as far
as lay in his cower ; went with Writ as far as Ha-
rold's-crofs to a brother in law. Prifoner offered
him a guinea to give him his liberty on parole for a
day or two ; witncfs refuted this accommodation,
prifoaer then contrived to effeft an efcape ; wittier;
recaptured•him, and refufed all further indulgence,
.on which a [Cane enfued, when the prifoner con-
trived to get one of witnefs's legs between his in fuch
a manner that it was violently fpr4ined ; ptifoner
took advantage of his flotation, locked him into the
apartment in which the fctiffie commenced, and a
labourer with him, who afforded him fome affiliance.
This man proved the circumflance, but faid that
Reilly was temporliag with the prifoner for the
ac-
commodation he wanted, refuting one guinea, and
letting his price at two.
Campbell, who was marked fpecial in the war-
rant, proved, that on the Saturday morning follow.
ing he went to the prifoner's houfe, near Rathfarn-
ham, puttied the door, which gave way without any
violence ; he few the prifoner undretfed, with a piacl
in his hand, which he levelled at him, and fired '
the ball entered his bod), and came out near Ms
back bone ; he gave the prifoner no information of
his intentions, neither did he announce who he was.
The pinfecutot's emote' here withdrew the capi-
tal part of the indiament.
Baron GEORGE in charging the Jury recognifed
Campbtli's authority to have gone on the Sunday,
in confegoence of the prifoner's previous efcape, and
apprehend hurt on the *arrant, having been fpecial
therein. His I..:rcllbip reprobated, as contrary both
to humanity and law, the aft of firing at him, as the
law afforded fullicient redrels without loch extremi-
ty. The aft of firing could ()nix be traced to the in•
tecition of murder, which nothing. that had occurred
could pollibly juflify.—The prifoner was acquitted of
the capital offence, but convifted on two alfaults.
JULY 13.

Colleaor of Maryborough, for having injured the
credit of O'Flanagan. .the damages were laid at

ington ; and
Hannah Camel, for felling milled mom), refeMbling
the cut-lent coin of the realm.
• This prifoner, who refided in a court in White-
chapel, it appeared, carried on a traffic in milled mo-
ney to an unlimited extent. A perfon of the name
of Coleman, who title; 'bed himfelf in Court to have
been a fir.fier, gave informatii.n of the prilmet's
'way of life to the Magidrates at Whitechapel r lice
office, and he was employed by the officers therefrom
to repair to the lodgings of the prifoner to make a
purchafe. While the officers were in waiting at the
dolt-, a purchafe was made by Coleman of Tome
fix-
pences, for which be paid three pence e, eh. :the
officers immediately milted into the room, and they
ton k from the lap of the prifoner too bale fix fences,
and 64 Railings.
In defence, she prifoner faid Olcman had given
her the late money, bat the Jury gave no credit to
the affertion. _ _

And two were acquitted, viz. •
• 'Vary Courtney. for lienlitt ~ a watch and its appen-
dages from the perfon of F.nGriffiths.
The ptofeentor, who is an elderly man, and
blackfmith at kothethithe, picked up the prifoner,li
woman of thetown, and accompanied her to a wretch.:
ed abode in *Old Gravel lane. After he had (pent
fume time in amorous dalliance, he raised, but ere'
he had got far from the,houfe, he found his watch
was gone, and alfo 7s. in filver.
On c:ot.-examination he acknowledged hirnfclf to
have b.en in a awe of inebriation, and that he had•
given the prifuncr one thilling for gin, and another
as a prefent.
The officer who fearehed the prifoner was linable
to find the watch, and the prifuner protefied her in-
nocence of the robbery.
The Jury doubted* whether the profecutor was
c mpetent to judge of filets at tftt time of the al-
!edged robbery, and confequently acquitted the pri-
foner.

lobes Rumley, a coachman, was icdieed for bal-
ing a fuit of livery.
The In iloner was employed by a hackneyman to
job for a lady, who pros ided him with a fuit of li-
very while he was driving the glaCs coach. On re-
turning from the job, he negleded to deliver the
very to the lady, who made the owner of the coach
refrinfible, and iodic-led the prifoner fir a felony.
The IZF.CORDsa obferved, that the indiAment could
not hand good, as the prefect profecutor was nut
the owner of the clothes. The prifcner was conic:
cpiently acquitted.
Same day the Sefllons ended, when fentence of
death was paired on
J. Powell. alias Sparkes, for returning from trankortation ;-.-

Sacs rutos.—On Sunddy morning the Cathedral
Church of Lincoln was difcovered to have been rob
bed of the whole of the Communion plate, confining
of a very large difb, three plates, two large flaggons,
two. cups and covers, and two large candle ticks.
The whole in folid fiver, gilt with gold ; the value
of which was fuppofed to be 50°1. The lall time it
was Peen was on Tucfday le'nnight, v hen the man
who has them under his care fenLthe Veys with a b:1-
to (hew it to a Ilrang,er. The robbers mutt have
picked five locks, and there is no appearance of any
violence on any of the locks, which makes the.rob-
bery very mytteri.)us.

Fits.—On Sunday morning. about eight o'clock,
a fire broke nut in a faetory belonging to MelTrs. Bu-
chan and Shaw, fituated in Higher Ardwick, near
Manch,iter ; and Inch was the irrefiftible rapidity of
the devouring element, that in lets than an hour the
whole building ( fix' antics high) was reduced to a
heap of ruins. All the machinery, apparatus, and
goods
of every kind, t.. a very confiderable amount,
were likewife deilroyed.—From the circumllance of
neither fire nar.candle having been Ufed in the faElory
for feveral days prior to this unfortunate event, the
arcmgett fofpicions are enteitained of its being done
by Come malicious incendiary. A man, in running
down a hill towards the recite of conflagration, had
his leg broke, and was immediately carried to the
Infirmary.
