fuels a fitttafion minima patience &Rates to
keep it fafe ; and it has been ruled that where a
man intoxicated fell afleep on Weftrainfler.bridge,
and had his pocket picked to .a confiderable
amount, he having thereby deprived himfelf of
his fenfes, and conrequently of the attention he
ought to have had to the property in his care,
that the healing. from his perloa did not come
within the meaning of the capital part of the At
of Parliament ; but left it a healing at common
law. It has certainly been ruled that where a man
having the care of a barge, and not being drunk
fell afleep in the barge, and had his pocket picked,
that in that cafe the healing from the perfoa was
decidedly within the intent of the aft, in as much
as the man had not voluntarily deprived himfelf
of the We of his fenfes. I am convinced, my
learned Friend, Mr. GREEN E, will concur with
me in the rule I have laid down, that under the
circumflances of the prefcnt cafe, the learned
Judge will be of opinion, that the capital part of
the indiftment cannot be fultained.-
Mr. GREENE—The diftinflions, as hated by my
Friend, Mr. M'Naety, have certainly' been all
taken and ruled ; therefore I feel that candour
compels me to fay that I doconcur with him, and
therefore I give up the capital part of the itidia-
ment. _ _ _

Knows the lag witnefs, and was in his company in
the latter end of lag June, in the houfe of the pri-
foner, at the Golden Ball—was in the kitchen,

neck by the guard, who half hanged him.
Crofs examined by Mr. Mq•laccv—Knows Mr.
Anderfon, and his brother the Magiftrate—when
he law the profccutor's pocket-book in thepofreffion
of the priloner, he did not go to tell Mr. Anderfon
that he faw the man robbed—neither did he fay
any thing when he Caw the bank note taken—did
not fee the reckoning paid—did not pay any him-
felf—was quite fober—treated by a
.man that was
there, but did not get a Cup from the others—faw
a man of the name of Buckley that was there, who
went pretty dole to the profecutor, but did not
put his arms round him .when he law the pocket.
book with the prifoner he did not fay any thing,
becaufe he thought he would give it back, thought
there was no harm in Townfend taking the note,
when he faw him hand it to the others—the rec-
koning was taken out of this note—this was the firil
' time he was ever prefent when a theft was commit.

%handkerchief, named James Monaghan—it was
himfelf—fomebody put the handkerchief into the
lining of his coat—had a tranfadion with a woman
named Kitty Whifkey, about a guinea note which
the laid was bad, which he afterwards changed for
her—he did not know the note was bad when he
palled it after he changed the note he threw it
away—had received it in the county of Kildare—
knows the prifoner about two years, and lives with-
in a mile of him—knows a. man of the name of
Kegan, and told him of the robbery—but the 'at-
tar never did defire him to appear and give evi-
dence againft the prifoner, or make him any pro-
mile if he came forward, or advife him to fwear—

nour.

Thomas Read examined by Mr. GEE EN E.—Re-
colleded the'24th day of Taft June—was at thc pti-
loner's houfe. When he went away be delired the
prifoner to be careful of the profecutor—knew the
profecutor had the property—fawtiim reckon h—
ollered to Like the money to keep for him, but the
profccutor would not part with it.
Crofs-examined by Mr. *NALLY—CouId not
pretend to fay, that he delired the prifoner to be
careful of the profecutor, becaufe there were men
of fufpicious charaaers in the room—law the pro-
fecutor put the pocket-book into his breeches poc-
ket before he fell afleep. Left Monaghan and a
Rood many others in the houfe after him—Did not
fee the book in the poffeflion of the prifoner, nor
did thc prifoner get up out of bed until witnefs left
the houfe ; nor was he prefent at the tranfaftions
related by witnefs.
Rich. Anderfon, Efq. examined by Mr. GR rxx E.
—Received from the prifoner Come notes (which
he produced) among which were two Bank Poll
Bills; in all twelve guineas and an half; they
were given to him two or three days after exami-
nations had been lodged. The account the prifo-
ner gave of the notes was, that a female child wis
looking in a hen's nett for eggs, where lin fit
tome brown paper, which on examination, appear-
ed to contain notes • the perfon who accompanied
the prifoner declared he was prefent when they
were found. The prifoner mentioned that more
had been loft, but thofe were all that were found.

Crofs.examined by Mr. M.lsis L L r.—ls not a Ma-
giftrate for the county Dublin—knows the prifo-
ner at the bar better than two years, and lives in
his neighbourhod—believes he is as gond a cha-
ratter as any man in his Ration—never heard any
thing bad of ltis ch.traEter, but many things in
fi-
vour cf it—has reafnn to believe the profecution is
carried on aping him at the inftance.of Kegan—
he.trd from common report Kegan's motives, and
never heard them coatradieted—he almoft told the
witnefs in Itimfelf.

The notes were going to be identified, when
Mr. At.N.st.t.v Paid F.e would admit they were the
property of the profeentor ; however, Mr. Clark,
name was to one of them, (wore he bad
I;i...en it to profecutor.
Here the profeention doled.
On Mali of the prifuner Alexander Andctfon,

11121 entnitiod by Mr. M.No.t.t.• Hada eon-
verfation with the witnefs Monaghan, who had
been fufpeaed of •having Roden the money, ex-
amined him, and what he faid was, that he had
leen the book in the prifoner's poffeflion ; he told
his whole Rory in a wavering manner, the conclu-
flop of which was, that he did not know in Whore
poffctrion he law it. Monaghan faid he faw Town-
fend take the note when he went to light his pipe,
who law a paper hanging out of the profectitor s
waiftcoat pocket, which -he took to light his pipe,
and found it to be a bank note ; met Monaghan
one day on the road, and was furprifed to hear that
he had fworn againft the prifoner; afked him how
it happened, and Monaghan faid they forced him,
and that Kegan made him fwear.
Crofs-examined by Mr. Gleam—Never heard
that the prifoner's friends wanted him not toiwear.
The account about the foldiers hall hanging could
not be true, for witnefs had a command and lived
near the guard houfe, and never heard it.
Mr. Gas ENE .—We will now call evidence to the
charaeter of Monaghan,'as the Counfel for the pri:.
Toner has endeavoured to impeach the credit of the
witneffes for the Crown.
Mr. *Mt exv.—This cannot be done, unlefs a
witnefs had- been examined for the exprefs purpofc
of impeaching credit; where a witnefs has been
called for the exprefs purpofe of impeaching the
credit of another witnefs, and has been examined,
there it has been ufual to admit the tcftimony of a
perfon to prove that fuch witnefs deferves credit,
by filming that the evidence he gave upon the
table to the Court Wa S confiftent with what he had
previoutly (worn before a magifirate, or had faid
to a third perfon, as in cafe of Mr. Oliver Bond,
tried for high treafon, the credit of Reynolds, the
principal wand's, having been impeached by crofs-
examination, the Court were of opinion, that the
Crown had a right to thew by evidence that what
the witnefs had fworn on his examination'before
the Court was confiltent with what he had inform-
ed a third perfon of, and accordingly admitted the
evidence of Mr.Cnpe,with whom he had.previoufly
communicated to that effea. So alfo in the cafe
of the unfortunate brothers, the Sheares's, the
Court allowed evidence to be gone into to Thew
that what Armftrong, the witnefs, (whole credit
was alfo impeached by crofs-exammation) had
fworn was confiltent with the information lie had
before given.—There is no hiftance where a man
on a mere crofs•examination affeas his own credit
without any witnefs being called to the fa&, that
the party is allowed to bring a perfon to boulfter
up his evidence. Becaufe evidence is a fcale, and
whatever is thrown into the one fide the oppofitc
party have a right to throw the fame into the other,
and then fcc where it will preponderate. In the
prefent cafe, the witnefs is impeached not by the
txftimony of others, but by his own tcftimony only.
If I had afked Mr. Anderfon, if Monaghan was a
man to be believed in a Court of Jullice on his oath ?
as he would certainly have anfwered, he was not,
then the fcale would undoubtedly preponderate in
favour of the prifoner, and the Crown would, in
that cafe, be at liberty to call Is itiicffes to contra-
dia that impeachment by a third perfon. I recoi-
led on the Home Circuit, that the fame attempt
was made in a firnilar cafe to give fuck evidence,
and that the fame aufwer I have now given was
then given by me.
Mr. Gr. E ci—ln the cafe alluded to by Mr.
M,Naexy,•the learned Judge allowed the evidence
to be gone into.
Mr. WNAlNY.—Thottqh the Court allowed the
evidence, yet the Connie' for the Crown declined
calling the witnefs.
Cosuar.—Tlic objeCtion taken by Mr. MN', 'Ay
has been determined as he flitted it over and over
again. The cafe doled on both fides.
The COURT addreifed the Jury, and laid chit
was fo clearly a cafe for an acquittal that it was
not necelfary to Rate the evidence to them again—
but if they had any doubt and villicd it, it fhould
be done.

The Jury without hcfltation acquitted the prifoner.

Friday evening as a foreign gentleman who re-
fides at the London Coffee•houfe, Ludgate-hill,
was returning home, he was furrounded near the
end of Stationers'-court by fevcral fellows uho
were following an over-drove en then palling down
Ludgate. (tree:, one of whom gvve him a violent
blow in the mouth with a flick, while the others
robbed him of his watch. This fpccies of depre-
dation, which is carried to a very alarming
height, calls loudly fur the interpornion of the
Police.

On Sunday laft a man named Samuel Sawyer,

parifh of Netticham, near Lincoln, chopped off
the fore finger cf his right hand with a hatchet,

I BEG leave to inform you, that ever lime the

which, from its obilinaccly refitting every courfc Of medockne
prefcribed by the molt eminent of the faculty here, and under-
going feveral revere courfes of falivation, and twice dlfcharged
from the Hdiaital, with little relief, would appear to be of the
mutt invoterate nature. In the firing of lad year my diforder
had got to fuch a head, as nearly to put a perWdto nay exifterree:
I had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, one onmaeh arra,

In this lamentabk Rate I was recommended by Mr.J.'ilonip-
