Sa'iirday evening, as two carts were passing near
St. Giles's Church, they ran foul of each other ; when
one of the drivers, in endeavouring to extricate them,
fell down, and one of the wheels went over his head.
He was t.iken to St. George's Hospital, without any
hopes of recovery.
Yesterday Davenport Sedley and Gurtarous Kieruft,
were committed to Newgate by the Magistrates of
Union 'Hall, Southwark, upon a charge, founded on
the oath of James Karmer, of feloniously stealing and
carrying away five Bills of Exchange, for £5OO each,
together with several other Bills, the property of the
Marquis of Headfort. 'rise circumstances of this
curious case are as follow :
'the Marquis of Headfort being desirous of raising a sum of
money as securities, and invited by the specious professions of
an advertising moneylender, made application, and was in con-
sequence introduced to Kieruft, who passed as a Swedish Ntible•
man, and who was aptly dressed for the part lie was to act. The
Marquis was assured by the other person, who was the medium
of introduction, that the Count was a man of large property ;
and that although he could not immediately furnish the money to
the extent required, yet that his paper was perfectly negotiable
to any amount, and that the Noble Marquis might be accommo.
dated by exchanging the Counts negotiable paper for his Lord-
ship's. 'the Marquis, it appears, was not much in the habit of
negotiations In this way ; he, however, gave his own bills, pay-
able at Meteor dates, to the extent of Li 3,000, in exchange for
such negotiable bills as the Count found it convenient to give his
Lordship. The hills of Lord Headfort were immediately trans-
ferred to other hands, through the medium of the two othsr part-
ners, who are still at Large. Lord Headfort found out too late
that he had been doped.
The first of his Lordship's bills that became due was for .eboo,
which his lordship, by the advice of his friends, refused to pay.
I low to oblige him to pay was the point to be contrived, and a
deep and notable stratagem was hit on. 'A letter was sent to his
I airdsitip, signed with the name of a person who conjered end in-
treated his Lordship, for the sake of his ow;t character, an/ for
the honour of his name, his children, and his family, to pay the
bill, as ieherwise it must inevitably be put into a course of sn't
against him; that iti this case the writer having been unfortu-
nately implicated in a charge of a horrible nature, with an old
mat., belonging to the Bank, who was executed in the Old Bailey
two yc ars since, his name would appear on the back of the bill,
which, coupled with his Lordship's, would go forth to the public,
and blast his Lordship's character for ever; and to avoid this
disagreeable circumstance there was no alternative but paying the
bill.. The Noble Marquis, alarmed at this insinuation, paid the
bill ; but on communicatitig the circumstances to his friends, he
wa, advised to have the writer apprehended, and prosecuted tri-
tium:lly. 't he person whose mune was signed to the letter was,
in consequence, apprehended; but denied all knowledge of the
transaction.
Under these circumstances it was deemed advise.
able to have Sedley and Kieruft, and their two part.
ners, apprehended, as well on suspicion of being con-
cerned in this stratagem, as for the fraud in the other
way ; and the officers, on apprehending Sedley, found
in his pocket it copy of the aforesaid letter.
The patties were committed-for WA,

but in a little time after, he decamped, leaving the
wretched young woman in a most miserable plight of
disease and poverty, having made away with her I
very clothes. Her friends at length interposed, when
he was found concealed at Edmonton, and it was soon
discovered that he had another wiie living, Anne 1.
Bates, whom he married at Maidstone about six years
ago, but whom he actually sold to a person of the
name of Non, and who is, in consequence of that and
his profligacy, altogether a common prostitute on the
town.
The case aghinst the prisoner was fully proved, and
Mr. CosisioN SERJEANT, in terms of indignant abhor-
rence 01 his aggravated crimes, sentencal him to be
transported for the term of seven yeers. •
The following were also convietect of felony, viz.
Mary Baker tor stealing a sheet and 9. pillow-cases;
E. Ricardo, for stealing two great coats : J. Bates.
for stealing two saws ; G. Travil, for stealing 2s. 6,1.;
J. Abdell, for stealing a sack of potatoes ; Elizabeth
Ovrrett, for stealing three dollars ; I'. Broain, for
stealing a sheet ; and A. Medley, for stealing two
petticoats.
Daniel Hartshorn, a respectable looking lad, was
charged with stealing two metal cocks, the property
of his master, Thomas Sherman.
The prosecutor is a plumber, and the prisoner had
only been in his employ a few days, when the theft
was stated to have taken place. The female servant
found one of the cocks under the pi isoner's bed, the
other in his great coat pocket, and he was accordingly
apprehended.
The prosecutor contradicted himself very frequently
in his evidence, and acknowledged that he bad beau
convicted lately of writing a letter to an innocent per-
son, accusing him of an tinostural crime, with a view
to extort money, for which offence he had stood in
the pillory. He deniel, however, that he had ever.
offered to drop the present prosetution on the parents
of the prisoner giving him a sum of money ; but he
prevaricated very much in his evidence with respect
to the number of times he had seen the prisoner's pa-
rents since the charge had been made.
The female servant acknowledged also, that she
had quarrelled with the prisoner during the short time
he had been in the prosecutor's employ, and was
obliged likewise to coniess that she could not procure
a character from the last place she left.
The prisoner, in his defence, enteted into a very
minute detail of what had passed since he had been
accused of this offence by the prosecutor, and so-
lemnly declared, that he knew not how the two metal
cocks came where they were found. He positively
denied having himself placed them there.
About a dozen of respectable witnesses gave the
prisoner and his parents most excellent characters.
The COAIMON SEILIEANT
_briefly recapitulated the
heads of the trial of the prosecutor, Sherman, fur the
offence stated above, and merely noticed the evident
contradictions in his own evidence on the present trial,
upon winch theJ nay immediately acquitted the prisone r.
The prosecutor was not, of course, allowed his
expences.
