Maw sine Hoy se.—Yefterday morning Daniels
was again brought before the Lord Mayor.
On the former evidence having been :cad over, Mr.
Comer, for the profccution, (fated that, fince he had
the pleafure of feeing his Lordfhip, he had taken
tome pains to confider the heft legal authorities on
the cafe of Daniels, and the more he enquired into the
fubjea, the more he was convinced, that the crime of
which he was accufed would not amount to felony :
he was alfo of opinion, that Omnium could not fairly
be confidered a fpecies of merchanclize. It was,
therefore, his decided opinioo that Daniels fbould be
liberated.
Mr. M AAAAAA r agreed with his Learned Friend,
Mr. Coast', that Daniels' tranfaaion was not of a fe-
lonious nature'; and, although a Coutifel for the pro.
fecution, he advifed his Lordfhip to liberate him on
the prefent charge. Should it appear he rafter that
he was amenable to the laws of his coobtrY under the
Statute of Frauds, he would be readily found, as he
Was to be detained immediately on leaving the Court,
under a warrant of the Lord Chief Juftice, till he had
appeared to his Commilßon of Bankruptcy.
The LORD MAYOR regretted that no legal means
could be devifed to punilh the moral pit( of the pri.
foner ; he was convinced, the charge againft him was
either felony or nothing; from the opinions advanced
by the Counfel for the profccution, he was now in-
clined to think it the latter, and would therefore or-
der the prifoner to be delivered into the eullody of
thofe who held Lord Ellenborough's warrant, which
was accordingly done-
Too much praife cannot be bellowed no the Lord
Mayor, for his perfeverance and impartiality through-
obt the whole inveftigation of this bufinefs. His Lord-
(hip, on no occafion, would (offer himfelf to be Wafted
by the opinions of thole about him, but (poke and
lifted for himfelf.

According to Mr. SKIMNIIR'S valuable Work nn
the prefrnt State of Peru, that country is of eafy
aecefs from Buenos Ayres, and with Chile and Pa►a.
quay, may be maintained by a fuperior naval force
againd all the world. On the northern boundary it
is feparated from New Grenada by knells and Mac-
ceffible mountains feveral hundred miles in extent.—
Perhaps we may live to fee New Grenada and the
Mexicos formed into an independent Empire, under
the protedion of Great Britain, and the luxuriant
and equally rich provinces of Paraguay, Chile, and
Peru become flourifbing Britilli Colonies.

Dust.,.—ln confequence of a difpute having arifen
between Lieut. F. of the Rnyal Marines, and Lieut.
L. of the Cardiganfhire Militia, on Friday evening,
•it was agreed that a meeting lhould take place next
morning in a field between Chatham and Gravefend.
At half pa* eleven o'clock the parties met, attended
by their feconds.—As the feconds were unable to
bring about a reconciliation, they took their Rations ;
sod after fiting a brace of piaci!' each, fortttna•ely
without aid, the (icon& interfered, and the matter
was accommodated,
A duel was fought, on Saturday lag, near Twyford
Houle, Bucks, between a gentleman of the name of
Frvvics, who, we underltand, was a Hamburgh
merehan•, and a gentleman named Tracts. They
were on (hooting parties in the neighbourhood, and
a difptite arofe refpealng their dogs, the dog belong.
ing to the one having difturbed the game allotted for
the divertion of the other. A meeting was the con-
fequenoe, and Mr. Tvssss received a fhot in the
body, which deprived him of life on Monday.
This moraing (rays the Cori Chronicle, of the t tth
infant ), a meeting took placst at the rear of the New
Barracks, between Lieutenant W—e, of the 38th
Regiment, and Lieutenant B--e, of the Galway
Militia, in confequence of an altercation which oe.
mitred a few evenings ago. After the parties fired a
fhot each, the affair was amicably terminated.

The Daily Papers of 'aft week have Rated, that a
number of baker& were brought up before the Leap
MATO,, charged with making falfe returns of the
price of fl tor bought by them, and thereby millead-
ing his Lorifhip, in regulating the Mize of Bread.
A baker, fo guilty, not only commits a fraud upon
the public, but is liable to a profeeution for perjury,
he being fworn to make a true and juR return of the
quantity and price of flour bought by him, to the
proper officer at the Manfion-hnufe. When the Loin
Mayne, in confequence of frauds of the above de-
fcription, is impofed on, and compelled to raife, or
not to lower the price of bread, according to the ac
tual Rate of the market, the Ink to the public, and
gain to the bakers, within the Bills of Mortality', in
one week, amounts to two thoufand pounds, by the
vat tation of only half an afriae.

Extra& of a letter from a Staff Officer in Sir
Jona STUART'S army. dated July 12, 1806.

_ .
• Since my laft COMMUDIC2tiOD after our landing In the Bay of
Euphemia, a battle bas taken place between the &kith and French
armies, in which the former (u Meal) obtained the moil glorious
and decided vie:tory over altnott twice their numbers. Sir John.
Stuart's force corifilled of 4700 then, and that of the French 8300.
▪ Aber the lines were forme!, the Bridal troops immediately
advanced and attacked the enemy, who flood waiting fee the,
cutlet with fame apparent degree of firmnefs, but this band allot-,
1101 heroes was totally irrefilllble. After firing fame rounds, they
came to the charged balemet, at which the French became actually
appalled and difmayed, for they began early to give way, sod at
tab, after a dreadful crmage,they fled io all distillate with much
confulion. It is mach to be regretted that we bad oat a troop a(
mounted Dragoons, ntherwife the French army would have been
totally annihilated; as it is many have not cfcaped. Our lob Is its.
confiderable. All the Betas troops behaved moll glorioufly ore
thitoccallorr, but the weight of the action fell principally on the
Light Battalion, the 78th and 8 ft Regiments, and thefe nobia
corps. although they Mined conftdcrahly, have acquired immor-
tal honour by their truly gallant and intrepid conduct. The
78th is competed of Scots Highlanders, sad the Sift of Welch
Mountaineers.
he province of Calabria is all up In arms, and if we are
(peedijy reinforced, it is intended that we fhould advance and
drive the French out ef the two Calabrias, a charming tkh and
fertile country. and which might be defended againft any number
of the Ufurper's troops that could be brought againft it.
General Sir J Stuart b adored by the fisldiery, and as long as
they are commanded by fuch an Officer, this little army will, I
aft confident, prove t+wia.ii:e.••

The profecutor was a farmer. refiding near Afhton,
and had employed the paints as a field labourer.
One day, while he aad his wife were out in the
fields, the prifoner went avoky, on pretence of get-
ting his wooden leg repaired, but never returned.
Several of the articles, when he was apprehended,
were found upon his perfon, fume of them wrapped

the Clerkenwell Seffions, in January 1805, as a com-
mon utterer of hale money, and having been guilty
thereof three feveral times on the fame day, and fen-
teneed to twelve months imps ifnnmenk
This profecution was carried nn by the Solicitor of
the Mint, whole affillant, Mr. Powell, produced in
Court the record of the prifoner's former conviction.
The cafe, as Hated by Mr. Fist:ilea, and fuflain•
ed by forbferprent evidence, was, that the prifoner,
notwithltanding the admonition the received from
the Judge, in paffing fentence after her former trial,
'that if the was again convided of a fimilar crime, the
mutt be hanged ; and, notwithflandingthat this ad-
monition was repeated to her on her being liberated
from prifon the perused obdurately in her cria
urinal courfes, and knowingly and wilfully had palled
two bad half-crowns, nn the fame day, upon a poor
indufirious man, in Spiral-market, named James
Cooke, to wit, nn the rad July lag. The fads were
fully proved, and the prifoner found Guilty—Death.
Thema, Miller, and Matilda his wife, were put to the
bar on a gorilla charge, of uttering counterfeit half
guineas, but the unhappy young woman was fo agi •
rated by her filtration, that the at first fainted away,
and then fell into Itrong convulfions, in which fitua-
tion (be was carried off by the keepers, and her trial
deferred till Monday.
Jofeph Barb, the pugilift, and Jame Travers, were
indined fit a capital offence, for Healing in the
dwelling houfe of Dennis Mahony a Bedford Bank
note, of the value of five pounds. and one guinea, of
James Ridley, the property of William Gee, on the
ith of June lA.
Mr. Cutesy opened the cafe on the part of the
profecution. He obferved, that as Hated in the in.
diltment, the charge was for a capital offence, but
the Jury might relieve themfelves from the confider-
ation of eke capital part of it, fine the prcperty
was under the care of the perfon from whom it was
taken, and not under the privation which the laws af-
forded to the dwelling }mule. The fubflance of it
was this : Mr. Gee, a tradefman near Tottenham.
court-road, being in the country, remitted to his wife
for the purpofe of paying a bill, due upon hint in the
City, feveral bank note-, one of which was that of
the Bedford Bank, for 51. His wife gave this mo-
ney, this note being part of it, together with a
• guinea, to James Ridley, a young-lad, her hufband's
apprentice, to go into the City to take up the note.-
1 he lad went on this errand, with the money in his
pocket. He was acetified in the flreet by a man, who
allied him if he had not fun him in Yorkibire ?
The lad laid, No, for he had never been there.
Where then ? The lad laid he had never been in any
part of the country, but once in Northarnptonibite ;
on which this man pretended to recalled it was
there he had Peen him. They were then joined by
another, and it was propofed to go into a public
houfe together for a pot of porter; the lad ward to
decline it, but littered himfelf to be perfuaded to go
in ; a pot of porter was called for, and they propofed
that the boy (hould pay fur it, which he refufed,
laying, he had not ordered any. But being much
preffed, he pulled out the money he had received to I
go and take up his mailer's bill with, (for he had I
none of his own) and took a guinea, for the purpore
of getting change, and to pay for the porter ; une of
the men took it up, and handed it to another, who
was the prifoner, Bei ks ; they did not call for change,
but a perfon apparently in liquor came in. and
(aid he had been toiling op for wine, and would tots
with any body for a guinea. This farce was played,
they toiled up and made bets, and Berks won thrice;
they pretended to tors up for a 51. note, and pro.
duced fume money, they invited the lad to join in the
game, but he declined it; they infilled on his paying
for the porter and as he could not get his guinea
back, he pulled out one of the 51. notes he had to
pay for the porter ; this was taken up, and put into
the hands of Boles, who looked at it, and Paid he
would give it to the lad again. Then the perfon
who appeared to be drunk went out, laying he would
, order a crown bowl of punch, another followed, and
they all difappeared, except the lad and Berk', of
jorhons the lad requelted to have his money, who
laid be &told have it in a minute. He then went
out; the lad followed him, and infilled on having
his money ; he then put his band in his pocket, and
gave him his 51. note, as the lad fuppofed, bidding
him put it in his pocket, and take care he did not
tore it. The lad was going to read it, but Berke
made a (patch at it, and the lad being afraid of loftog
it again, put it into his pocket ; but afterwards, he
found that it was a (ham note. The prifoner
Berks then made a run, and the boy followed him,
crying (top thief, until at tall having loft him, he
found out by a perfon pairing who he was. He then
efcaped. but was apprehended on the aoth of the
fame month, near the Obeli& in St. George's Fields,
and another of thole (ham notes found in his poffel
Pion. The prifoner Travers, who was one of this
lan. was apprehended on the fame day in Dyot
teet. St. Cites's.

Mrs. Mary Gee proved that the gave to Jame.
Ridley the notes above Rated, together with a guinea,
for the above purpofe, on the t ith of June.
The whole cafe mining on the evidence of the lad,
we lhall lay his teßimony before our Readers in his
own words.

take part a of pot of porter with me and my !tient!,
we (hall not belong " I went in with them; a pot of
porter was c.lled for by the firft man ; after we had
been there a (bort time, in came another man, and
he was Berks; he called for a pint of beer, as fepa-
rate from us ; in a thort time afterwards there came
another man, feemingly much in liquor; he began
pulling notes out of his pocket, and faid he had beet%
at Newmarket, and had been trifling up with gentle-
men for wine; Berks then entered into converfationp
and laid that he ihould not mind tolling up with him
for a bottle of wine; they did tots up; Berks won;
while this was droog, Travers and the other man
belted a guinea that Berks would win again, and,
afked me to bet, I faid no, for I had no money p
Berks won a fecond time—he then betted a 51. note •
that Berks would win again, there were notes pro.

I told them I had no money. When they found I
would not bet, they raid I mull pay for the pot of

they Rill infißed on my paying for the porter--I then
put my hand in my pocket, and pulled our a note.
and pulled out alio a guinea ; fo that they had an
opportunity of feting that I had notes as well as a
guinea. I put the guinea on the table for changes.-
the fittl man took it up, and gave it to Travers, and
he gave it to Berko ; nobody was called for to give
change for it ; I Faked for the guinea of the perfon
who had it—he faid I fhould have it again in a mi-
nute—but he did not give it to rue again. The man
who took up the guinea laid I &mild bet a guinea
as well as him, but I did not chafe to bet, and told
them I could not bet, beeaufe it was not my own
money—l then got up and faid, " I molt go," I
conld not get my guinea back.. They Milled on my

he faid he would give it Me dire Sly. Then the tip-
fey man went out, laying he would go and order a
crown bowl of pooch. ' The firit man and Travers
went along with him, and then Beds and I were
left together. On their going, I offered to go
out, but Berks faid—" Stop a moment—they will
be in again dire Sly." I llopt a Mort thus, and
then got up again and faid--" I would not flop any
longer, for I mull go." Berks got up, and went in
the door, (for he was neareß the door) and faid•••
Stop a moment, and I will be in again direaly
, on wbrch he opened the door, and went oat, era-
fed the (tree. and I followed him—then I sliced
him at the corner of Tavißock-ilreet for my money—
'he took out a paper (which I fuppofed to be the note
he took of me), and he gave it to me. I was going
Ito look at it—lays he, Yoo will lofe it, you fool,
as I was going to read it. Then he attempted to
fnatch it from me. Rather than be asould do that,
I put it into my pocket. I thought I had got the
fame note bark again. I then followed him, and
allied him for the guinea ; and he faid he would
give me the pines as loon as he could get change.
He went from Bedforthilreet to Charles-Art.44 Bed-
ford fqnare, went to a public houfe and called for a
pint of porter at the corner of Caroline-mewr' Char-.
lone ftreet. I afked him lot the guinea--he faid he
mull get change—" What will you have to drink ?"
faid he; I find I want nothing to drink, but mug
have my guinea. He called for Tome gin. He then
went out of the houfe at the back door into Caroline
Mews—l followed him—he tan down the Mews—l
ran after him, and cried out I Stdp thief.' He ran
down Caroline.ilteet into Great Ruffell-greet, and
got near St. Giles's. I could not overtake him, bat
kept crying out ' Stop thief,' at laR I log him. I
then met Mr. Kelly, who told me the name of the
man I was purfuing, for he met him. I then return-
ed to my miftrefs with the remainder of the notes—
related what had happened, and after that, Berks
was taken up, and Travers likewife. lam quite Pure

Richard Limerick, one of the otEcersof Bow greet,
grave an account of his apprehending Berks, near the
Obelilk, in St. George's-fields, on the aoth of Jane,
and of his finding on him a (ham note refernbling that
which Berks gave to the witnefs Ridley, which was

The prifoner Berks laid, in his defence, that he
came by accident into the public houfe ; tome play
going on. and he being a fporting man, laying his
guinea or aol. occafionally, toiled up with a perfon
who came into the roonttipfey, and won his money.
The profecutor had betted silo, and loft sl. but in-
filling much on having it back, he gave him the
note again, good or bad as it was, for he did not
know which, becaufe it was the note which the tip-
fey man threw doyen on the table before lie went out
of the houfe, laying," there, take it among you."
Travers aid, be was a mere Rake bolder, whit
happened to come into the public houfe by accident;
he never had lieu Berks before.

properly Rated to them that the capital part of the
charge would not be fupported, becaufe the moner

Mr. GVRIISTI, in 'reply, contended, that the cafei

tially different. The former involving a quelli on of
the mere guilt of intention to forge or utter the intirtr.
resent, in order to defraud anothar perfon. In the;
latter, the queftion is principally on the value, as the
charge is for healing a certain thing of value—there'-

in law, the indidment, fu founded, cannot be legally I
fun:tined.
Some farther argument between the Clunk', and

The &votes referred to were infpeted by the Com'.
At length,
Mr. Recourse, who tried the caufe, was of opi-
nion, that in point of law, the objed on was good.
He adverted to feveral of.the late Regulating Arts,
and particularly to the Taft, the 44th of the King,
which guaranteed certain of the former exemptions,
but with a view the better to preventliauds upon the
revenue, added a farther qualification, and which

By the operation of Poch Aft, therefore, there was
not enough Itg,ally to make one the cafe againft the
prifoner ; and it was the duty of the Court, who, in
that fenfe, were as Counfel for the accufed, to fee
that the law was aridly adminillered, even to its
letter. The prifoner was therefore entitled to the
benefit of it. He trufled that the narrow efcape
which-the prifoner had of fevere punifhment would
operate bei.eficially as to hi. future condo& ; and
that turning slide from habits of vice and idlenefs,
from diffolute company, and intereonrfe with look
women, he would tread the paths of virtue and
induftry, and at length become not only a ufcful, but
an honourable member of facies,.
The prifoner was of courfe acquitted—but Teemed
little affated by what had taken place.

• There was no dire& proof of the Defendant's ae-
Wally taking the pigs; but from the evidence of one

killed pigs by commiffion, it appeared, that Evans
always exercifed the right of ownerfhip over them,
and Donovan shifted in driving them.—They could
