Keaaett *as indict eitfeli* forgery. This
Iris' occupied the-prinbpal parti of the day, and ex-
tiled much intetest. The ipdictment charged the
prisoner with the forgery of a draft, f0r.d12090, upon
She bank of Sir R. C. Glynn and Co. Birchin-lane, in
Sae following manner, Vii.-.—The prisoner, with one
Richardson, and a person named Cooke, planned to-
gether to forge a bill of exchange upon an unwary
tradesman, for the sum of £l6O, which they obtained
without detection, and vested it in the Bank. Having
obtained this fund, they °found access to Messrs.
Trowers arid Co. stock-brokers, who sold for them the
stock to that amount, giving a draft on the bankers
above named for the value. Possessing this draft, they
forged one on the same hankers, in lieu thereof, for
,E2C9O. They took a residence in Francis-street, Bed-
ford-square, opened a counting-house, procured a clerk
• of the name of Benjamin Pollard, to whom they gave
the forged draft, and ordered him to go and clear it.
Pollard procured the money, and returned with it to
the prisoner at the White Hart, Holborn. Thinking,
hewever, that there was something in the,transaction
rather strange, he communicated the circumstance
the following day at the banker's, when the forgery
was discovered, and search set on foot to discover the
parties. They eluded the hands of justice till Janu-
ary last, when they were taken. It further appeared
by the testimony of Richardson and Cooke (who
were admitted evidence for the Crown) that as soon
as Kennett got the money from the clerk, they went
to a house in Ship-yard, 'l.'emple Bar, where Kennett,
Cooke, and Richardson each received £6OO, and the
remaining 8290 I Is. a person of the name of Burtiet
had. Guilty—Death.
.The following were convicted of felonies, viz :
' Buck, for uttering and disposing of a"certain pa-
t per, containing the figure or character of five in white
on a black sable, or dark ground, with intent to de.'
fraud Hannah Burton, a servant girl.—The evidence
svas the same as that given at the examination of tinel
prisoner at the Mansion Hbuse—see the STAR of the
17th ult. The prosecution was instituted by the Bank
of England.
Mary Ann Branch, for stealing a copper saucepan,
the property of G. Smith.
1 he follon•ing.were acquitted, viz. :—Ann Baker
and Martha Bramwell.

HUFFEY WHITE.—This notorious and well-known
character, whom the Bow-street Officers have been in
pursuit of since the time of the robbery of the Leeds
I Mail, in October last, arrived at Northampton, doubly
and strongly ironed, handcuffed, &c. from Liverpool,
last Wednesday. Huffey travelled very sullen—he
only spoke once all the way on the road : his head
was tied up, in consequence of the wounds and bruises
he had received; and his fingers were very bad, from
the biting and being hell in one of the officer's
mouths, when Misting them at the house in Scotland
Road, Liverpool.—Lavender, the Doty-sae;:t officer,
w'ho originally discovered the two persons concerned
(at least who are strongly suspected of being so) in
the robbery of the Leeds Mail, and apprehended them
a few days after the robbery, and that Holley White
wits Nuspected of being a principal actor in the trans-
action, has been actively employed since White's
apprehension cot collecting' the numerous evidence,
amounting to about thirty, to identify his person.—
The txial w.:s put oil at the late Assizes, on the affi-
davit of Mr. PARKIN, the Solicitor to the Post-Office,
stating, that it was essential for the ends of justice
that Hufrq White should be in custody before the
other two I,cre ti itd.

Hamburgh, which is now again open to us, was
heretofore a great Continental Mart for English State
net!, Tickets ; particularly, as a £E204)00 Prize,
, a few Years since, went to that City. Many, there-
fore, are now speculating on large remittances of
Tickets to that quarter, under the certainty of their
bearing a considerable Premium, on account of the
present Scheme containing more Prizes than Blanks.
Home Adventurers must obviously perceive the
policy of being immediately on the alert ; especially,
as on'the Sirirti of Next Month, every Number will
be dawn a Prim:.
A wry singular transition from poverty to wealth
bas lately occurred in the person of E. Williams, a
fisherman, at Hastings. This man, while pursuing
this usual avocations, in a small vessel, on the 29. d of

February, accompanied by his son, was driven over
to the French coast, and, desirous of eluding observa-
il
tion, lest he should be detained, put into a sequestered
'ort tear Dieppe, occasionally frequented by smug.
ers: Here lie observed a six-oared boat, containing
veral persons, shaping its course for Dieppe, but
om which place it appeared likely to be cut all by
an English cutter which pursued it. In half an hour
he lost sight of the boat .:id cutter, and then pre-
pared to return h( ire. On making a large offing,
he was much surprised by the appearance of a pent.
angular float of cork, which, as it drifted neat the
vessel, got entangled with the rudder. In endea-
aouring to disengage it, he found, to his surprise, a
trunk, which was fastened by ropes to the float, and
having got it on board and opened it, he found, to
his astonishment and joy, that it was nearly filled
with guineas, to the amount of £6ooo.—Williams
supposci,, with great probability, that the boat which
way. pursued by the cutter contained smugglers, and
that in the chace they threw the chest overboard,
.ather than that it should betray them and enrich
heir porsuei s ; and, perhaps, in the hope that not
eing detained, they might afterwards recover it.
4nesday last a melancholy accident happened at
As some waggons, with the baggage of
ayo regiment, were leaving the town, the
it belonging to the Rev. P. Salter, took
ran di.wn the hill going out of Brentwood,
middle of which there is a hollow part,
'd the waggon to swing on one side, so as
,set, when the cords which confined the
ve way, and the top part of the load, with
1, and children, were precipitated to the
isle man was killed upon the spot, and one
her legs broken, whilst several others
dreadfully bruised. There were several
children who escaped ; one woman, in
,ith a child under each arm, jumped off
I, and most providentially alighted in
to most humane attention was paid to the
the inhabitants of Brentwood, and all, the
stance that could be procured, was called in.
