HERTFORD.

Daniel Gilbert, alias Downey, James Gilbert, alias
Downey, Mary Tucker, Eliza l'neher, and Mary Craw•
ford, the two latter prisoners being children under 11
years of age, were indicted for a fraud irrplktaiping
money from the Overseers of the Poor of.the parish
of Watford, by means of forged walkingAvasses,. and
other instruments necessary to carry the:fraud into
execution.—The case opened and proved against the
prisoners presented a striking specimen of a species-of
fraud which for some time has been suesessfullyeass
tied on in different parts of the kingdom:- It will be
recollected that some time since a regular manufac-
tory of forged passes and barrack:office certificates
Was discovered in Saint Giles's, carried -en with dies'
most diplomatic regularity, and from Which iissited
whole quires of these peripatetical warrants for etisr-
tion. The home counties, particularly,Essex,,seenil
to have suffered most from this ingenious species of
depredation, and hundreds of. parishes have been:
laid under contribution for the maintenance of the
worst species of impostors. In the present case, it
appeared, that the offenders had commenced their
operations at Margate, and advanced into the hears
of the country as far as Worcester, successfully pry-
ing on the credulity of all the Parish Officers in their
route. From thence they took a north-easterly direc-
tion, and at last made a lodgment in the gaol of this
county, having imposed upon the Overseers of Hat-
field by the like means, but their fraud was discovered
in time to prevent further impositions.
The case was made out by the clearest evidence,
and the prisoners were all found Guilty. The adults
were sentenced to one year's imprisonment each in the
House of Correction, and the juvenile offenders to
three months in the same place of confinement. .
Michael Tyler was indicted for a violent assault on
the person of y— Gepps, Esq..on the 16th of March.
last.—lt appeared in evidence, that the prosecutor is
a Gentleman of fortune, occupying land adjoin-
ing to the estate of the .Honourable Mr. Bowes, at
Paul's Warden, in this county. The defendant wasl
the gamekeeper of the latter Gentleman. On the
16th of March the prosecutor, accompanied by two
pointer puppies, went to walk in Paul's Warden Gar
dens (a place long open to the neighbouring gentry
and inhabitants for their amusement and recreation),
when he was met by the defendant, who addressing
him in a ruffianly -and threatening mariner, said—
. 4 My orders are to turn you out ; and for aught I
know you are come to rob the gardens ;" and imme-
diately seized him by the collar, threw him down,
and dragged him on the ground a distance of about
six poles, when the prosecutor caught old of some
pales, and endeavoured to preserve himself from fur-
ther violence ; but the defendant, whilst he was in this
position, seized him by the legs, lifted him up, and,
after suspending him over the pailings with his head
downwards for some minutes, let him fall violently
'upon his head, and then said—" I)—n you, have not
I turned you out of the gardens ?" It appeared that
in the scuffle the prosecutor lost about 40s. in silver,
which fell out of his pocket upon the ground, and
upon discovering his loss, he returaed to search for
his money, but in vain, and in the attempt he was
again violently assaulted by the defendant, wlio again
turned him rudely out of the,garclens, using the most
abusive language. . .
The defence set up was, that the‘ prosecuttir had
committed the first assault, and the principal witness
called was a boy, the fellow-servant of the defendant.
The Jury, however, under the Learned Judge's di-
rections, found the defendant Guilty, and he was sea-
tented to one month's imprisonment in the Coupty
