Saturday W. Maki:Add wits indicted for Arid,*
and uttering three counterfeit Rink notes. In Sep-
tember last, the prisoner was lying in Newgate, under
a sentence of twoyears imprisonnizot from the Cia-t
of King's Bench, hie aiding the esc iPe ot the French
General Austen. At that time one B irry WAS con-
fined in Coldbath Fields prison, for uttering cant tee.'
felt dollars. Understanding it to be the intentiun ot.
the Bank to prosecute him also for uttering forged
Bank notes, he gave ilformatlon'that he could en hle
them to detect one of the principal deafen in this
way. In consequence of which, Mr. Weevaolotl.
Clerk to the Solicitors for the B ink. was dispatched'
to Coldbath.fields, where, after having Barrybeasched
to see eaat he had no notes in this possession, he gave
him eight tel notes, which he had previously en...skeet
with a small w under the word One. Becket, one of
the tut nkeys of Coldbath-fields prison, also pot his
mark upon them, before they were given to Barry.
Mr. Westwood then took B wry, Becket, and a Kr.
son named *Coke, in a coach to Newgate. When
they get there, Barry went to the place where Hab-
berfield lay, on the State-side, and without saying a
word gave him six of the marked notes. Habberfield
returned him three of them, and three counterfeit dr2
notes, saying, that he bad no more at th it time, but •
in a week or ten days he should have a Fedi supply.
Barry now returned, and meeting Becket in the pri-
son, gave him the notes he had received from H tb-
berfield, as well as the remainder of those which Mr.
.Westwood had given him. Becket now, with Brown.
one of the City officcts. and one of the turnkeys of
Newgate, repaired to Habbet field, and asked him if
he had got any property about him ? He said he
had ; and pulled out a handful of gold, and out of
his bed he pulled a stocking, filled nearly with. Bank-
notes. Out of his waiste.iat pocket too, he produced •
froth t'2o to ,g3O in notes ; and from his other pockets
he produced, with some hesitation. some notes, among
which Becket found the three which had been paid
to him by ' Becket immediately proceeded to
take the numbers of them anew in the prisoner's pre-
sence, when be made a snatch at the notes, part of
Which he tore off, and part remained in Beckees
h:.nd. The prisoner instantly ran to the fire, and
Bushed the fragments under the 'rivit, but Becket
snatched them out before they were entirely consumed.
and enough remained of the notes to enable Mr.
Westwood and Becket to discover their marks fits
them. Guilty—Death.
P. Whitehead was indicted for forging, or utter-
' its the acceptance of T. Gullan, a stable-keeper, in
King-street, Westminster, to a bill of exchange, for
see 10s. drawn by the prisoner on Mr. GM' :it, and
1 made payable at the banking-house of Messrs. Ran-
som and Cb. The prisoner had applied to Mr. Rn-
.barts, the banker, and by recalling to the recol:ection
of that Gentleman, that he was known to him, as
being in the. employment of the Bank of England.
whereas, in fact, he had left that s:tuation six months,
induced him to discount the bill. Ou presenting it
when due, however, at the house of Ransom and Co.
it was discovered that Gullan's subscription wts a
forgery. This was proved on the trial by Mr. Gal-
lan's brother, and the Jury immediately found the
prisoner Guilty—Death.
E. Pouliot, a genteel youth, was indicted for forging
and uttering a checque for £2.), with intent to de-
fraud. The checque had b.cn paid to a publican in
Guildford-street, and was detected alter being paid at
the house of Prescott and Co. The principal w't-
ness, R. Roberts, did not appear, and the prisoner was
consequently—Acquitted.

ningham, for having its his possession certain treged
bank notes ; J. Row and J. Jones, for stealing .t LIU
Bank-note ; E. Levy and T. Murphy, for stealing a

At the Sessions in Dublin, on Tuesday last, James
Byrne was indicted on two several counts—for having
published a libel, accusing the Right Rev. and Hon.
Dr. Jocelyn, Bishop of Ferns, of an attempt to com-
mit an abominable offence ; and for having juiced in
a conspiracy to make that false accusation. The pri-
soner, Byrne, had .lived about eilitteen months as
coachman with the Hon. John Jocelyn, brother to the
Bishop, at Fair-hill, but having lett him withlitt
notice, was refused his discharge ; and it appeJA
most clearly, th:tt the whole of this horrid imputat on
WAS a plan to extort a discharge, such as the prisoner
wished, from Mr. Jocelyn, by endeavouring to make
h m believe, that the fame of his venerable brother was
inthe prisoner's power. The Bishop of Ferns attended
in Court and was :•xamined. The prisoner v. as tuur.d
Guilty, and s4;enced to two years imprisonment—to
be thrice publicly whipped, and, before his discharge,
to find security himself in £5OO, and two sureties in
£lOO each. •

tempting to secure him s( r taking a jacket,' belonging
to John M'Kay ; and for kicking we Gunner, and
conducting himself in a rhutinoui manner towards
Lieut. W. Savage, of that ship. The charge having
been proved against the prisoner, he was sentenced
to suffer Death: but as it appeared he had saved the
lives of many persons by jumping into the sea alter
them, whenever overboard, the Court recommended
him to the. merciful consideration of the Lords COM.
