pounds, which he got for a bill, given him to be dis-
counted.
The complainant stated, that he gave the bill to
the prisoner to get cash for ; that he brought him .51.
saying that he was to get the remainder the next day,
but next day he did not appear, and when Mr. 11.
found him, he said the bill was not good, and desired
him to return the 51.
.saying he would give the bill
back ; this Mr. P. did, but could get neither the bill
nor the money.

this bill discounted by Mr. Parker, of Fleet-street, and

Posting, that he owed him 281. and that as he ls d
indorsed it, he niu it be answerable for it, as this was
an accommodation bill, and would not be paid by

Hath wild Disappointment exerted its sway;
Yet still to the finger of Hspe will I turn,
That points in the distance an unclouded day:
And will it return, that clear white dawning morn,

Hope whispers it will—for, extracted the thorn,
Thy bosom shall tranquilly rest in the grave.
And clear shall Eternity's morning arise. •
