This defendant syss convicted at the lag Warwick-
shire General Qoarter Sessions ut the Peace lor a
fraud, on two several indictments, and sent: need to
seven years' transportation.
It appeared on the triAr., that the defendant had
some time ago resided at ilenley-in-Arden, in War-
wickshire, and been occasionally employed in obtain.
ing prize and bounty money for the relatives of de-

William Hollyoabe and Thomas Vincent, two
poor labouring men, residing in Warwickshire, having
each a son in the army, applied to the Jrtendant to
procure weir discharges, and he accordingly wroie
letter, in each case, to nis Royal Highness the Duke
of York, as Commander in-Chief, sunciting their
charges ; which appiications he was prom: sly and
decisively informed could not be granted. Notwith-
standing which, the defendant, by Nisi), pretending
that in the one case he had been to London to the
Duke of York's office, and had paid 420 for the digs
charge or the soldi.r, in addition to AV isitich he had
begot obtained from the patents, and bad actually
been the soldier's discharge signed and sent off to Ire-
land ; and, in the other case, that he had obtained
an order for the soldier's discharge, on payment of

indigent parents of one of the soldiers Al% and of
the other sr27, and applied those sums to his own use.
But, besides the frauds he so committed, he had
cast the grossest imputations OR the clerks iii the of-
lice. of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chicle
and the &lot:on-General of his Majesty's forces, by
falsely pretending, and inducing the soldiers' pares*
to believe, that in order to obtain their objects. it was
necessary to bribe those clerks, and that he had ae.
wally remitted sums for that purpose; whereas no
correspondence whatever had taken place between
him and any clerk in those offices; nor had he paid

it is more particularly the case at present, as may be

Dattax-Lasig.--rThe fair debutante of Saturday 11%.
pealed her performance last night with increated
effect. She has the rare felicity of combining natural
sensibility with true tenderness, unaffected ease, and
real dignity. There was scarcely a scene in which
she did not manifest decided improvement. The
name of tf.e young lady is Rostvanx. Her only
appearance *pre her debut on these boards, was at
Richmond, where she performed but once, and with
little preparation. Mr. Mikvvioon, in lap, was emi-
nently successful. Seldom, it evtr, have we seen the
cold-blooded Malignity of the double dealing ancient
more effectively represented, and never, we are sure,
was the triumph of all hip more distinctly evidence d
than by the manner of Mr. keasi's representation of
Othello, which, exceeding in excellence all his former
great efforts in that character, seemed, in every word
and feature, to own some new and superior in'?•sen;e
by whic:i he was worked up•in to his ahtf7iiiii.
