ASSIZE- INTELLICSUCL
TAUNTON, Ann.?.
'John Hatiett 'was indicted for stealing 11 sheep from
the farm of Mr. Christopher Lodge, of Winford.
Mr. Lodge, the prosecutor. stated that thi sheep..
stole, from the land contiguous to his farm, in the lat.
ter end of November last. He heard no tidings of 's
for five or six weeks afterwards, when he was told
they were in the possession of a farmer, a few miles
'He accordingly went there, and found them in a

On inquiry, he found that the farmer had bought
of a person assuming a name which corresponded
the initials on the sides of the sheep. That person,
the description given, was believed to be the prix_
and on his being-questioned on the subject, he acknow.
lodged having fold the sheep, and accented for '
baying them by saying he had purchased them
Irishman named Charles Lusty, but he could give
information where that man could be found, and
he
*en taken into custody.
The prisoner, in his defence, said, that he was
,habit of busing sheep of strangers, and proved, that
had been in the possession of money fur doing s
*idling an auctioneer, who had sold his late fathers ,
petty, from the proceeds of which lie had received
Wards of 1001.
The Jury found a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Justice PACK sentenced the prisoner to
death, as a practised offender. There were now
other indictments against him, for the same offence
and as the crime was carried on to a great extent in th.
county, he felt himself bound to make a dreadful
ample of him, that others might be deterred by L._
atentable fate from similar depredations. His Lordship
then pronounced the sentence in the formal words
the law, and gave him- uo hope that mercy would
extended to him.—The prisoner was removed
the bar in tears.

PORGERT.
Launcelot Cooper, a middle-aged man, of gentlemanly
appearance, was indicted for forging and uttering a
lorged cheque on the bank of Curtis and Co.
Mr. Axone** stated that the prisoner had been is
the habit of passing by several diffe:ent names, but be
believed that Launcelot Cooper was his own. He should
prove to the Jury that he has since 1805 passed by the
names of Cope, Crairford, Anita, Jackson, and on one
occasion es Captain Cook. The forgery was committed
hi the name of " James Cope." At the time it was
chmmitted, the prisoner was lodging at No. 4, Grove-
lace, Bromptoa. He there went to a library, and after
having received some books, said that he had no•moneft
and asked Mr. Taylor, the librarian,lf he was going te
town, and said that he wanted to get a cheque carpe,4
'and being unwell, could not go to the banker hiammir.'
Witnesses were called who illablished the facts of a$
forge.
hery prisoner in his defence said, that he was sorry te
perceive the evidence so strong against him. He had
served his Majesty for upwards of sixteen years. He
was the first person who carried to the English anther.,
rities the account of Buonaparte's escape from Elba.
He had likewise rendered other services to the country,
which, he hoped, would be taken into consideration.
The Loan Cruse JUSTICE then summed op the evi-
dence.—He said the only question for the consideration
of the Jury was, whether the name of Cope was as
slimed for the purpose of fraud ? fur, if he had assum-
ed the name for other purposes end was known by that
name, his having subsequently used it for the purposes
of fraud would be no more a forgery than it he had
signed his own name to the cheque in question. This
was the only point for their consideration. for the facts
of the case were placed beyond all question by the evi-
dence which had been adduced.
The Jury having consul:ed together for five rnintres,
returned a verdict of Guilty.
The retainer was then charged upon another indictment. After
consulting with his Solicitor, he withdrew his plea of " Net
Guilty; and pleaded " Guilty."
