littodet's Sugar House, where she had created a disturbance
because relief was not afforded to her. From her statement, it ap.
pawed, that she was thirty years of age a that she was married at
Tohay when only fourteen years of age, to a prosperous merchant
in the Levant Trade ; but having been reduced to poverty, he, and
likewise her father, entered into the Greek Service. bier father
was, however, killed at she storming of Jassy ; her husband was be.
headed, and her three children murdered before ber face. Every
male person, of whatsoever nation, was aseribeed to the rage of the
blussulmen ; and the f,...-nales, of whom she was one, transferred to
Constantinople, there to wait the Suitan's pleasure. The death of her
father, and the murder of her husband and children, quite unsettled
her reason, and she remained for near a year in the vicinity of the
factories at Pere, in a state of uncootrouled insanity. The shill end
attention of ao English physician at length removed her malady,
and she came to this country, three years since, with the Captain of
a enerchanemm ; since then sheeted endeavoured to support hermit
by working in gardens in summer; but in winter, there being no
employment for her, she litetally starved. She did not know that
any of her friends were alive in Germany. She bad been for sit
months in Whitechapel workhouse; and Mr. Hametics said, that
as she was.° destitute they would wain receive her into the home.

William Giks aid Merl Rise were Whited for high
treason, in coiniswiewe counterfeit shillings, on the Sd
of Almost. at Newineton. A second indictment charged
them with having coining instrumeats in their possession.
Mr. BOLLAND (with whom was Mr. LAW) stated the
cue fee the prosecution. The-prisoners, he said, were
charged with a- breach of one of the branches of 'the
royal prerogative. which was of all others the most be.
neficial to the public, and most for the interests of so.,
ciety to be preserved inviolate. The old mode of makin4
counterfeit money had been of 'late abandoned by the
professors of that illegal and mischievous an as inane"-
venient and hazardous; and a simpler and safer pine'
had been adopted. as in the present case, by casting thei
coins in moulds snide of plaster of Paris. The facts of
this case were these consequence of informatiOni
received, Myers- and two other constables went, on
the day in question, to a house situate in Cross.streiti
King-street, Walsworth, which they well knew was in
part occupied by the prisoners. The street door. was
open, and they advaested to the door of a room inha-
bited by the prisoners. There was a bole in the door,
through which.. Myers peeped. Giles was sitting by
the file with his coat off; anti his sleeves tucked up.
He had a mould in one hand, and took a pipkia off
the file with the other, from which he poured sense
hot white metal into the mould; he then placed half
of the mould on the hob, keeping the other half in
his hand. Myers then went in, upon which Giles
started up, saying, "0; my Goi, ram a dead meas.'
At the same moment a counterfeit shilling fell burn*
hand to the Boor. and-he plaCed the. half mould with
both his hands between his knees, and in that way!
crushed it to pieces. Myers then seized him, when he
struggled hard to,escape, but the other officers coming
in, he was secured and handcuffed. The prisoner Ryan,
-when they were first discovered,- was leaning over a
chair, tubbing something with a cloth dipped is wet
sold, and which she instantly dropped, and which
proved to be another counterfeit shilling. Upon search-
ing the room, the following article were found r.--A
pipkin containing white metal in a state of fusion; three
nr tour half moulds, in one of which there was also
some of the same metal; 47 counterfeit shillings in a
rough state, 11 more finished, and one perfect; a new
mould, apparently never used; some sand paper ; a
quantity of plaster of. Paris; several Britannia metal
spoons ; an iron spoon with some. white metal- in it ;
some good shillings, agreeing precisely in dale; dur.
with the impression in the moulds, and with the court.
!elicit shillings; a tin collar for making theationlds;
a pair of scissors, a file, and a kniCeoil,l32ftweCsiinewar
removed from the house, he.was about.to make some
statements when Myers stopped him, saying. " You had
briter retell!
,what ypu beirkto sex fstr your Counsel."
Giles replied, " Oh, I haVetelosel enough litere,"painting
the moulds, &c. 14 there are counsel enough here to
haag a hundred of. us; this is the clearest case that ever
you had." They were then takentefore a magistrattil
sad afterwards coestinitted for trial.
These facts were fully and- clearly proved by. the
Officers Myers, Goff; and Bradley. all of whom under.
went a long crost•ezamination by the prisoners, by:
which, howeeer, nettling was elicited at all favourable
to themselves; foriftry those means came ootibet,thet
prisoner Giles had been long suspected of these.pecen
tics:, and that he bad been apprehended on a similar
charge about three weeks before, but had coat:trod to
out of custody.

..sr. Field, from the Mint, proved Ott the *ariont
articles found in the rooms, together, formed
a complete apparatus for the coining of counterfeit'
money, and that the money found there was counted
felt, and was made of Britannia metal.

The prisoner Giles made a long, desultory, unintel-
ligible, statement, implicating various other persons in
coining transactions, and charging the officers with hav-
ing formed a base•conspiracy against him bet admit-I
ting that be knew the money found in his reel. to be'
counterfeit, and . that he bad bought it of a poinak,
named Grainger, living in Wilworth. Heaiso
that a son of Goff, the officer, had, to his knaurlV,
bought large quantities of counterfeit shillings and stx-
pence: of Grainger.
The Learned Jungle summed up the ease-to tbeJnry,
drawing their attention to the different degrees in which
the eitdence bore against the two prisoners, which' he
recapitulated to them very particularly.
The Jury acquitted the female prisoner, and found
the other prisoner
The Learned Junt.a immediately passed upon' him
the awful sentence of death, without holding out to
him the slightest hope of mercy.
No evidence was offered against either of the prison.
