MINT PROSECUTIONS.

Several of these cases were then disposed of, none of
which were of any public interest.
Richard. Burnell, who was convicted of a misde-
meanour at the last April Sessions, in falsely pretending
that he was an Attorney in the. Court of King's Bench,
and by that means obtaining money from a person named
Knox, was brought up to receive the judgment of
the Court.

The Chairman informed him that he had allowed the
judgment to stand over from Session to Session, in order
to accommodate him, and he hoped that he had now ar-
ranged his affairs, and prepared to leave this country.
Defendant went into a long detail of his transaction,
and said that he had not had a fair trial.

The Chairman remarked that his guilt was proved be•
vond all doubt, and sentenced him to be transported for
seven years.

A few days since at a respectable draper's at Clare, in
the county of Suffolk, it was discovered by one of
of the apprentices of the person alluded to, that a journey-
man-and another apprentice had combined together to rub
their master and employer. On this discovery being made,
the apprentice communicated the fact to his master, and
the journeyman was apprehended. The other apprentice,
on finding from whence the information was obtained by
the master, arose in the night, and actually cut his fellow
apprentice's throat in so dreadful a manner, that his life is
despaired of. The depraved youth is in custody, awaiting
the result of his horrible conduct.
