UNION HALL

Thomas Wick, the auctioneer and appraiser, who stands charred
with forgery, was brought up and finally examined. The o:lter
clerks in the Bank of England attended. Tbey had paid si me
person sovereigns fur the notes that had been received from Wes.
ton's bank, but they were unable to say that the prisoner was dist
individual. The name of " Simpson, 44, West-street, Pimlico,"
was indorsed, but that turned out to be a fictitious name and ad-
dress. Au application was made by the prisoner's solicitor, to ap-
propriate some portion of the 68 sovereigns found on him when
apprehended, fur his wife's support. It was, however, intimated
that her relatives were in good circumstances, arid the subject was
not pressed. The prisoner was committed for the next Assizes,
and the witnesses bound over to prosecute.

DODD, the Comedian, was an ardent collector of old
plays and tracts relating to the Drama. After his
death, his valuable Dramatic Library was sold by
Laiuu and SOTHEBY, in York-street, Covent-garden.—
GEORGE STEIEVENB, openly, affected great friendship for
DODD, but he was jealous of his literary and theatrical
acquisitions. The writer of this paragraph was pre-
sent at EGERTON'S Auction Rooms, in Scotland-yard,
on the last day's sale of WATSON REED'S library, when
the celebrated Hamlet was purchased by KEMBLE, and
the Romeo and Juliet of 1599 was bought by MALONE.
On the same day, the Duke of ROXBURGHE purchased
the splendid first edition of SHAKEPEARR'S works. At
the close of the sale, STREVENS exclaimed to Nicol. and
-MALONE, from Macbeth—

" This is a day trifles our former knowints."
When the quartos were coming on, Srszvabia sail to
DODD, who was near him, " The hour of attack ap-
proaches."—" Yes (replied the Comedian)—l think 1.11
take the road."
