THE WING V. OSBORNk.

This was a similar indictment to the last, and was
against the defendant, for the publication of the same
libel. A verdict of Guilty was also returned in this case.
SATURDAY, APRIL 1.

Mr. Justice BEST this day sat in the Crown Court.
The list of prisoners, which is very large, is composed
chiefly of persons charged with larcenies and other
minor offences. The cases of felony refer chiefly to
one or two charges of shooting with intent to kill, to
various forgeries, and to one indictment for murder.
Sixteen persons, who had been arraigned on the
minor charge of uttering forged notes of the Bank
of England, and had pleaded guilty, received serg
tence of transportation for fourteen years. The Court
observed, that this mercy had been for some time
extended, in the hope of producing a diminution of
thesesoffences ; it trusted, however, that no one would
be misled by an expectation that this mercy would
continue under these circumstances to be extended.
William M'Donald and Charles Clarke were found
guilty of uttering certain forged notes, purporting to
be of the Bank of England, in the town of Birmiugg
ham, on the 19th of January.
LANCASTER, MARCY! 30.
True bills have been 'found against nine of the prig
soners charged with offence against the State, in
which is included the well-known Mr. Knight. it is
expected that the trials for seditious practices will
come on to-morrow. Mr. Justice BAYLEY presides
now at the .Crown Court. His Lordship arrived at
this place on Tuesday night. Yesterday, Joseph Read
was convicted of administering an unlawful oath to
William Robinson, for the purpose of inducing him
to conceal the secrets of an unlawful combination to
compel their masters, the proprietors of collieries,
to advance the rate of wages. This offence was coin-
mined in January, 1819, at the town of Sr. Helen's;
near Prescot, in this County, at the time when there
was a general turn-out, as it is called, for an advanee
of wages. His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to be
imprisoned one year in the House of Correction.
John Knowles was also found Guilty of fabricating
pikes, or pike-heads, with intent that the same should
be used at armed, unlawful, and seditious meetings.

Tower-Hill, during the whole of yesterday, was
crowded with people, curious to see the prisoners for
High Treason 'taking their usual airing on the tors
of the buildings of the TOwer. They are allowed two
dalsis a week to see their friends—Wednesdays and
Sunday They were all yesterday visited by their
teSpectij.e friends ; and in general were cheerful;
their S6licitors have constant access to them:

from nut having had any market since Wednesday. yet the trade
was exceedingly heavy, and from Is. to tea. per quarter cheaper,
except for a few picked samples of prime quality from Basest,
which with difficulty were got off early in the morning at last
Monday's prices. Vine Barley sold en 'full as good terms as in
this day week, but the middling quilitks met heavy sale at a
'decline of is. per quarter, haying a tolerable large arrival front
Norfolk. Oats are 11. per quarter lower, the supply being very
, considerable. In Beans and Yeas there is no alteration,
