Tows;-lh r., SiurrrWAlll{.-•--Y('Steray,
Williatn3 was bought up from the Borough Compter,
and examined before Mr. Alderman J. 3. 5m1214,
charged with stealing a 1:50 bill and a gold t,..atcht
the property of Mr. E. Edwards, Captain of t e
Unity, Barniouth trader, lying at Pickle Hez
Louis Edwards stated, that about two o'cio,:k
Sunday morning he was alartr.ed by heavily a i„jsc,,
he immediately got out of bed, and the first ol,:m he
beheld was the prisoner coming from the Cart,ii•ft
cabin with a poniard in his hand. Witness 4.tr,,,&i-
-to know his business? but he declined to ten, ar,a.
pointing to the dagger, said he had better littEr,
pass, as he had vowed to kill the first that intermpte.l
him. On this witness let him go, and went to cllt
the Captain.

Mr.bixon, mate of the brig Thomas, lyin nett
the Unity, stated that lie was awoke about two o clock
on Sunday morning by the barking of the ship's dog.
When he came on deck he beheld the Prisoner with
b: fight weapon in his hand getting down the side o
the Unity into a boat ; he threatened repeatedly that
he would have the first man's life who attempted to
follow him. Having go. clear of the U.tity, lit
rowed alor.7side the Venus sloop, and wane s saw
him hide the watch in the main chains, after whichite
began to rim asho:e ; but as he passed the head d
witness's vessel the dog spfung on him into the boat;
and grappled him by the throat. Ihe prisoner its.
mediately felt for his dagger, and having found it,
made a stab at the dog, who (as if awa-.. t f his inter.
tiont s;rung into the water and pulled the prisoner
overboard. The dog swain about with him and ens
deavoured to climb the sides of the vessel, but is
which he failed, till a boat was thrown out, and both
'the dog and the man were picked up and brought re
board. Witness afterwards found the watch, ad
gave it to the prosecutor.
Captain Edwards said he went to bed early, lea,-
ing his watch on the table, and a- pocket.book cons
taming the bill for 150. He did not wake again till
called by the mate, who informed him of the robbery.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that the whole was
only a drunken frolic.
The worthy Alderman observed, that the frolic
which Le treated so lightly might very possibly hang
him, and ordered him to be fully committed.

It is stated in official returns to orders of the House
of Commons, that the weekly average amount af
Bank-notes and Post-bills for three years preceding
the 6th of April, 1819, wac. £'97,269.942 ls. Bd. and
that the total 'weekly amount of Bank notes any Bank
post-bills in circulation, at the following periods, was
On the 25th May, 1819 - - £25,a97,030
Ist June - - - 24,655,000
Bth ditto - - 24,895,12/
15th ditto - - 24,439,079
22d ditto - - - 44,1,9,669
29th ditto - - - 24,111,190
It thus appears that there has been a zraatial reduc-
tion in the Bank-notes in circulation since die 25th of
May, and that the amount on that day exceeded the
of the 29th of June last, in a sum of E 1,2 ‘5,840.
