sltulting•Daniel Mai ks, who stated, that lte was 'the
night before decoyed into a house, in Angel-alley,
Bibhopsgate-street, by the female prisoner, who, on
hir entrance, put out the candle and stamped on the
floor, when several men entered, who knocked him
down, and set a dog at him ; that he gave the alarm
when the two prisoners weie apprehended. The con-
stable and watchman said, Wise was a disorderly
girl, well known about Angel-alley, and that Moss
lived with her ; and that in this alley there were often
robberies committed, and they feared murder would '
ensue some night. Whereupon his Lordship com-
mitted the prisoners, to be tried at the City's expeuce.
Rotert Farnham, who was charged the day before
with detaining 321. the payment of a note given him
by a Mr. Posting, was again put to the bar, when
the bill was produced ; and the complainant's name
not being on it, the prisoner was discharged, Ile-
being answerable for the payment.
BOW-STREEL—Wednesday, a person named Samuel
Taverner was brought up on a charge of having ut-
tered five forged notes, purporting to he the rotes of
the Governor and Company of the Bank of England.
In support of the charge, Job Coles, a farmer and
grazier, of Borton, in Gloucestershire, was called. He
stated, that he was at the Red Lion, at •Sotithall, in
Middlesex, on Wednesday, the 27th of September,
when the prisoner purchased from him an ox, f9r
which he paid him 171. 10s. ten guineas in gold, mid
the rest in the Bank notes now produced, tsio or Whic.h.
were for two pounds each, and the otheis for one
pound each. He folded the ca'h within the notes,
and paid them to his Agent, Mr. Walter ainsier,
tallow-chandler, of Islington, and Agent-Receiver, in
Smithfield, on market days, on the entering day. In-
formant knew the prisoner; he had a house-At Holly-
port, kept fields at Bayswater, and occasionally lodged
cattle for him ; he never knew of any thing improper
that could be imputed to him.
Mr. Skinner, the last witness's Agent, corroborated
the testimony respecting his having received the notes.
He also proved, that he had written the name of the
I prisoner on the front of all the notes, and paid them
with others, into his Bankers, Messrs. Prescott and
Co. on the 23th of September.
Mr. Lee, one of the Inspectors of the Bank, then
produced the notes, which were sworn to by Mr.
Skinner, as the notes he had received from Mr. Coles.
Mr. Lee also proved them t be false-and counterfeit.
Mr. HUMPHICIES, the Solicitor of the prisoner, urged
the respectability of his character,and the probability
that be might have taken these notes in the regular
course of trade. He thought the circumstance of his
having paid ten guineas in gold must operate as an
almost convincing proof that the prisoner had no
knowledge of the notes being forged, or of defrauding
Mr. Coles. If he had meant to utter f.:l ,e notes, he
would have paid the whole, instead of a part of the
171. 10s. in such forgeries.
Mr. READ said, that such was generally the defence
set up in similar cases, but that under the present cir-
cumstances, he must detain the prisoner in. custody.
Mr. Lee said he had some further evidence to pro-
duce, and the prisoner was remanded for a future ex-
amination.

Never was a greater blessing sent to a fond parent
than the American Soothing Syrup for children cut-
ting their teeth. It immediately relieves their ago-
nizing pain, And quickly brings the teeth through.—
The child of Mr. Vesey, tallow-chandler, James-
street, Long-acre, was at Death's door, and a mere
skrleton, with a bad cough, and- a relaxation of the
bowels, to an alarming degree ; Mrs. Vesey only
rubbed his gums three times, and he had two double
teeth through, and sooto got all the rest, without pain,
and is now a beautiful boy. This invaluable Medi-
cine is sold by the Proprietors„J. JoitNsoN and Co.
