Berger. 'dins De Word, agml 44, was in.
uttering (inthie eUty of London) a forged
_l7l. with intent to defraud Messrs. ginsoml,
Company. The prisoner is a military officer, wear-i
mustachios. He paid very great attention to
charms detailed against him, and frequently smiled,
doubtful derision.

BOLLAND stated the cos, for the prosecutions
that the prisoner had been connected with
some of them dischirged clerks from the bank-
of Stumm and Co.—lt was the practice of
(Johnson) to purloin blank checks from the
. at the same time to steal vouchers which
received into the house. These vouchers were
ing the night, and replaced in the house nest
It was the practice of the, prisoner and theses
get money for these counterfeited checks, and
e it among themselves.

Ansom and Co. The house of Joseph Green

in Pall Mall, and at the Saloon, but 1 am not sure.
Cross.examined by 'Mr. BRoDRICK.—I was taken
into custody for the forgery on Smith, Payne, and
Smith, in August last; I was a bankrupt in Novem-
ber, 1824 ; I have never applied for a certificate, nor
have ever been charged with perjury or conspiracy; I
have been in Dover gaol for three or four days. charged
with an alleged assault ; I believe that Mr. Harmer is
against me for that, but no attorney has told me of arty
charge of perjury ; I was at Bow-street Office when
the prisoner was brought up; I was nor examined in
his presence touching this matter, but was brought in ; I
saw Mr. Johnson there before the Magistrates; I think
only once, but am not positive; I have seen him several
times as he was passing by after being taken away from
being examined; I first beigan this practice of getting
forged checks about two days previous to this one ; it
might be proposed about a fortnight before. Ido not
recollect the identical day,but it might be probably about
the month of Mayor June; it was proposed byJones ; tb at
is what I mean by
,a long time since from this time ; I
have known Jones from November. Four checks were the
utmost number shewn to the prisoner, 'and were shewn
by Jones. I never had any. I never sari any before that
day; the cancelled checks were given by Johnson to
Jones, but they were not copied at the time. It was all
the same what person the:cancelled checks were drawn
upon, so that he had Money in the house. Jones was to
have three shares (two fat executing the check). Johnson
Wei tO hafe`one, andl'ahcither share. after the payment
of the forgery; I wad, baits fifth for Wag mannered
with them. It was hdlk my scheme.
Me. Justice Psat—qi Is mete% to **tint fur whit he tot the
Akre ; for by his own evidence he has made himself out as great a
scoundrel as ever Oldised. That is Culficient.
Ssveralw itnesses having been examined to prove the connection of
the prisoner with Peckham, Johnson, and Japes, the case for the
prosecution closed.
The prisoner read a written defence. Before he began,
he begged to explain the Circumstances. of the alias of
De Clifford (which was his mother's name), because he,
had reduced his establishment and lived in a bumbler
sphere. 'He then described that his acquaintance with
these parties (whith he very much regretted had ever
taken place) began by Peckham representing to him
that he was able to put him in a way of making a for-
tune in a short time. He liad*no knowledge whatever
of the transactions of the parties, and solemnly declared
his innocence of having ever received a farthing from
them. It could not be supposed that they would have
intrusted him et once with a circumstance affecting
r lives. He then said that he had never committed a
onest act in his life. He ha.l several testimonials of
character from persons of tne greatest respectability.
Mr. Justice Peas-1 cannot receive them—it bas been so de-
tided by the Judges.
The prisoner then expressed his perfect innocence of the crime
lire& to MP; and begged to call witnesses to character.
eras witnesses were then called.
One thins was an OSosr in the lit Dragoons, and had hnoWn
thepiiooner for MOWS yeah.

Soother Geutlessam-residing to Pentonville, bad known him
forty yean—nearly all his life. He went by the note• of John
Berger. and always bore a character of the greatest respectability.
Other witnesses bad known him, some *Edina in the gambling.
houses, and they all said that he bore Ugood diatecter for homey
and honourable condign. : •

Mr. Justice Etat, in
.sumalling up, told. the Jury
that with respect to the charge of forgery, they would
pm it out of their minds as affecting the prisoner,
because there was no proof of his having forged the
check but it was very material to consider whether he
kilew it to have been .forded at the time of uttering it ?
That was the charge. against him; the proof was diffi-
cult, as it depended on the testimony of accompl;ces.
He had never in the whole course of his judicial capacity
seen two more Corrupt, infamous, and wicked witnesses,
than the two young men, Johnson and Petkhien, who,
ffithey did'iof stop in their nefarious 'course, must-cer-
tainly end their hies prematurely. If the case had
depended 'on their evidence alone, he would have
felt it hii duty to have stopped the case, and told Mein
to acquit the pi isouer. But. their evidence.wm partly
supported by other! witnesses, though the main point
depended on their own testimony; audeit would be for
the Jury to say, whether they could believe such info-
mous young men ?

Friday eiening, a very numerous meeting of opera.
tive cloth manufacturers took place at the Union, 1 n,
Leeds, when it was resolved, !s that :it was the deter-
mination of the cloth manufacturers of Leeds and its
neighbourhood, to support the Bradford Unioo so long
as the men continued to conduct themselves peaceably
and firmly, and to ask only a reasonable remuneration
for their labour." . .
A reconciliationhetweenthe Bradford maoufecturers
and their workmen seems as diStant et the preseon mo-
meat as it was four mon.hi ago. Of ihe three thousand
turnout woikmen, not more than from thirty. to forty
have resumed their work during the twenty weeks that
have elapsed since the strike took place, and of• that
number only two or three have returned during the last
fortnight. The masters have resolved to make no ad-
vance in the wages while the workmen insist on the
prices they first struck for. When the strike cock place,
in June last, worsted goods %sere selling in-the Bradford
market at 171 per cent. higher than the present prices;
and a piece. which at that time sold for Lie. 6J. is now
selling for 18s. and other qualities in proportion. Some
reduction has, however, taken place in the price of
wool in the meantime, equal perhaps to 71 per cent.
leaving a difference of 10 per cent. to the.disadvantage
of the manufacturer, who, at the former price, had not
more than a living profit. *To insist, in such a state of
things, on a considerable advance of wages, is absurd.
To add to the evils that this combination is likely to
bring, a number of the master-manufacturers have in-
traduced machined into their mills for combing wool,
which thus supersede manual labour, and some of
these machines are at; work night and day.
