Mr. Maloney. proved all the facts above stated, and
further, that after receiving the bill of exchangetwhen
he gave Charters the horse to ride, he also lent him a
bridle and saddle, which he returned the nexr•day,
and said to his servant—"" I have parted with the

Act. Verdict, Not Guilty.

the prosecutor wished that the .ends of justice
might be attained without forcing him to attend at
the trial, which he was g:ven to understand must
take place in the month of September, when it would
not be in his power to be present.
Sir \V. PLOMER pointed out in strong colours the
impropriety of the conduct observed by the prose-
cutor himself. He had surely acted inconsistently
with the character which he assumed for himself,
namely, that of a Cattleman—in associating, and
that too at so early an hour in the day, when he must,
from the after occurrences, have been in a state of
intoxication, with women of the depraved habits of
• the two prisoners. What did he else than h: 1d out
to them a temptation to rob him, of which it wr.s not
• unnatural itt- them to avail themselves ?-1-laving

(Sir W. P.) could not consent to compromise a b.-
lcvay of the kind.

nished for his neglect to do Fon; and surely his conduct
altogether was deserving of maid:tam:a • The pri-

viour, he violently struck her, but her sister having in
the interim procured assistaitce, Forster made off.
IR his defence, Twentyman Fled ;son, one of his

the prosecutor, that he was impressrd from the Dover
Castle on their homeward-bound passage, and taken
an board a man of war : that the prisoner was his
shipmate on board the Dover Castle ; that when he
was impressed, the prisoner took possession of all his
property ; that he (die witness) being an Atm:tic-an,
got off as soon as he came home, and applied for his
property ; and finding the prisoner had taken it, had
him taken up, and finind he had his chest, and his

COMMISSION INTELLIGENCE.

DUBLIN, JUIN 16.

Mr. George Charters, an attorney, was indicted for
that he, on the 20:1) of November last, did feloniously
take, steal, and ride away with a p;elding, the pro.
perty of James Maloney, Esq. value one hundred
pcmnds, against the peace, &c.
Mr. said, Ile was instrueted that Mr.
Charters got possession of Mr. Maloney's hoi se
through a medium of fraud and imposition, against
which human prudence could not guard. Mr. Ma-
loney was a barrister at law,but for several years had
retired from his professional pursuits to -cultivate his
estate. In November last he was in Dublin, and had
a horse for sale, worth one hundred pounds. Mr.
Charters hearing that such a horse was to be sold, laid
a scheme to get possession of the animal, without
giving value, and for this purpose he came to Mr.
Maloney, at his lod4ings at the hotel in Dawson-
street. lie proposed for the horse ; the price was
fixed at LI 00, to be paid by a bill of exchange, pay-
. able at the bank of Shaw and Company. This bill
was fabricated to support the intended fraud—it was
a mere paper-kite, with two men of straw, the drawer
and acceptor, tied to its tail. The drawer, a prisoner
in the Marshalsea, under a judgment of £7OOO, al-
I ways at home—the acceptor, an itinerant, without any
fiked place of habitation. Mr. Charters, the payer,
having made this conditional agreement, to have the
horse in case the bill was foundzood, delivered it to
Mr. Maloney to inquire at the bank, and requested
to ride the horse. This was granted, and the par-
ties rode to Shaw's bank for the pin pose of inquiry;
where Mr. Maloney was informed by a clerk, at the
door of the bank, the bank being shut, that he was
done by Buck Charters ; and Buck Charters, on Mr.
Maloney's stopping at the bank, rode off with the
horse.

A Clerk, employed in tl.e house cf HoARE, BA;!..
NETT, and Co. bankers, of Lombard-street, has de-
camped with bank notes to tile amount of £5OOO. So
soon as the robbery and the escape of the thief were as-
certained, application a as made to the &lice at 11,m-
street, and he was traced on board a north-country
smack. No time of course was lost to send a Dow-
street officer express to Scotland, to endeavour to gr...et
him with a warrant, on his landing ; which it is hop:A
he will be enabled to do.

Monday a coachman was thrown from the box of
a chatiot in the Strand, in consequence of winch the
horses ran away with the carriage, which running
against a dray at the corner of Bedford-street, was
overturned, by which aceident'a Lady iv►thinside had
her arm broke in two places.
Yesterday as a gentleman's servant was tiding along
Kings'.and-road, on the full trot, a boy named Jones,
ten years of age, crossing at the time, was rode over;
by which he was so much► hurt as to be taken to the
hospital.

! Tuesday a lad, in getting behind a post-chaise, in
, Fetter-lane, got his leg hetween the spokes of the
• wheel, by which it was mangled in such a shocking
manner, that be was taken to the hospital a most
pitiable spectacle.
Monday a boy, passenger in a Gravesend boat, fell
overboard at Billingsgate, and immediately disap-
peared ; a man instantly dived tiller him, and had the
good fortune to bring him up. The boy was almost
exhausted, hut by proper attention he was in a short
time perfectly recovered-

The question of felony, or no felony, he submitted
to the Court, was a question to be left to the Jury.
They would have to determine, whether at the time
of delivery of the fabricated and fraudulent bill, the
prisoner had an intent to get possession of the horse
for his own use without giving valuable consideration
to the owner. If he had sudi pre-determination, he
was indubitably 4uilty of a capital felony ; this had
been determined in a variety of cases ancient and maw
