MIDDLESEX SRSSIONS.

Oa Saturday, Mrs. Saws was brought to the
bar, who, our Readers will recollea, the feifioris
before left, was indiaed for Reeling the cloaths of
a child, but was acquitted on the ground of the
evidence againft her only going to prove that her
intention was to Real the child to anfwer a certain
purpofe ; but the Court thinking her condua of
too ferious a nature to let her efcape from ju Rice.
ordered her to be detained ; and a frefh indiament
was preferred againfl her, for a confpiracy in
Reeling the child to anfwer certain
,purpofes. It
was half pelt three o'clock when the was placed at
• the bar ; when Mr. CONANT. the chairman, ob.
(erred, that, in all probability, the prifoner's trial
would occupy feveral hours, and the Jury having
given their attendance the whole of the week, he
was not inclined to detain them till a late hour on
a Saturday evening. Mr. Itwowmis and Mr.
KNAPP, the prifoner'ssCounfel, allured the Chair-
man they had an objeaion to make to the record,
which there was ,not a doubt mull prove fatal.—
Mr. SY Lv arra', for the profecution, faid he thould
proceed to call his witades, and should combat
any objeBion to the record. The. Gotirt feeing the
bufinefs would occupy feveral hours, and the
Jury not being charged with the prifoner, the trial
did not proceed.
On Friday Petri/ Testy was indiaed for ut-
tering a forged difcharge, purporting to be a dif-
charge for hsmfelf from the t Ith regiment of foot
in Capt. Sidney's Company, dated the 16th day
of Oaober laft, Rating the prifoner having ferved
in the fasd regiment twenty-one years. It is like.
wife accompanied with a recommendation for him
to receive the Chelfea penfion purporting to be
ligned by General Hewitt, Infpedior General of
the Recruiting Service.
Jofeph Lynn, one of the principal Clerks bi-
longing to Chelfei Hpfpital, depoied that the pri.
(oner on the agth of Odober left came to him and
prefented the above defcribed certificate, when he
had fome fufliicinn that the litnatnre was not the
band writing of General Hewitt, but was not con.
verfant enough with it to determine ; be therefore
'kilted the pirate to call again on the tit int.
what there "mild lie * Boma held, which the pri.
loner accordingly did, and the certificate- being
!hewn to feveral who were well acquainted with
General Hewitt's band writing, had no hefitation
in declaring it a forgery, in confequence of which
be was taken into allay.
General Hewitt attended, and depokd that the
fignature was not his hand writing.--Guilty.
The whole of Wednefday's befinefs was nearly
taken up with a trial for an dank, which, from
the very bons cbntradiam evidence, delivered
on both Ades, is remarkable.
