note in the horde of Glynn, Halifax, and Co.
Mr \\'s tcos, for the profecution, Rat-
ed the care as is detailed in the evidence. The pri.
loner, oe obierved, was a colleeingclerk in the Ironic
of Sir R. Carr Glynn, and Co. On ale sth of Sep-
tember it was difccivered, on adjusting the calls ac-
counts, that they were mina, 301. This, of courfe,,,
vrocillised a more ntinu re examination of the it anfac•
s ions c,t the preceding days, when it appeared that
o c ,re for sc!. No. 9140, had been entered as re-
• twice—firß, in the account of the ptifoner at
the Lar, and again in the account of another eolleEt-
i ig clerk, of the name of Allen. This, confequently,
e.0n1.1 not have been correZt, for the fame note could
not have been received by both of them, and paid
int.) the horde on the lam,- day. He Ibould lay evi•
dance before the Jury, to thew that the note bad been
received by the prifoner, and properly paid in by
him as a part of his collation ; and he (bould alfo
thew that the other clerk, Allen, had never received
this note in his collation. He fhould silo further
prove. that the prifoner negotiated another note of
501. on the fame day that the one was miffing, from
whence the prefumption arofe that he had fuldtraft-
ed a note in the following manner : having made up
his own accounts, which were entered by the calhier,
it is frappofed that he withdrew the note No. 9140,
which formed a part of his bundle, and afterwards
exchanged it for another in Allen's bundle of the
fame value, previous to the latter's account being
taken by the rafider, fo that both bundles appeared
to be of the full value, and the fabltrafted note was
not miffed antil by a minute examination of the ac-
counts it appeared how the deficiency arofe. When
that was dilcovered, and it appearing alfo that the
. Fanner had clandeßinely negotiated another Sol.
note, fufpicion arofe that it was the one which had
been purloined from Allen's bundle, and which was
fohnituted by the one from the prifoner's bundle.
Robert Sewell Paid, he was cafhier in the houfe of
Glynn and Co. The prifoner was one of their col.
lating clerks. A deficiency of scl. being found in.
the (alb account, on the 3d of September, they &it
thecqued the cafh. and found that right. They then
examined the Sol. notes, and found there was one
fhort. On examining the books. they found that one
301. note had been entered as twice received by them,
without having been paid away. It was No. 9140.
and entered as received on the 3d of September,
both from the prifoner O'Hara and Allen. No.
8881 was not entered in either of their accounts.—
The a:knell, fent for Mr. Parry, a partner, and ac-
quainted him with the circumtlance, and the next
day Mr. Halifax was acquainted. On the Monday
following they received au anonymous letter inclof-
ing a 301. note, No. 9550.
This note was proved to have been paid by Newn-
heft and Co. to a clerk of Glynn and Co. on the 6th
of September, but the witnefs could not fay it was
U. et.. prwoose.
With refpeft to the note No. 9 t4o, which was
twice enured—
W. Harris, a grocer, in Blackfriars Road, proved
that he paid it to the prifoner on the 3d of September,
and:that he received it from the bode of Lefevre and
Co. in Cornhill. A clerk from the latter houfe
proved it •was paid to the lag witnefs. Carter, en•
tering clerk to Glynn and Co. entered the account of
the prifoner on the 3d of September—he entered Al-
len's account alas on the fame day; on turning to the
book, he found No. 9140 entered in both accounts.
SAT. Allen, the other entering clerk, ,proved that
he had received no filch note on the 3d of September.

The pritoner accolle.l the wiinefs an Howard Ilreet,
in the Strand, and followed him into a honfe in that

made up to the winters at Charing Cutts, and anted
the way to Vine-fl rect. The wittier. replied that he
Ivan going to a Mr. Mortimer'v in that litter, and

In the afternoon of the Rth r.f o.laber, the panne!.
came to his Miner's (hop. and aiked the witnefs to
boy Come bed lace. He replied he would ark his
mithefs. When Mrs. Walker appeared, the enqui, ed
of the prifoner what he would take for the lace? he
.treed her what the would give ? She wifhed to know
how much lace there was, but the prifoner could not
by. Being interrogated relative to the manner in
which it had come into his pc ffefr:on, he replied that
he had fwapped for it in the country. He refufed to
name the glace. Mrs. Walker told him that ffie
arongly luipeCted the lace was not honellly come by,
and that the would fend it to the Publics Office, Mr-
fhip-tireet, in order to its being advertifed. lie then
demanded 7s. for the lace ; and, as he would not go
away without one sr the other, the witnefs fent for
an o.licer, to whole charge he was committed. •
Ray, the Officer, Bated, that when he took the
pi iiioner to the Office, he raid he had bought the lace
from a perlOn at Waltham Abbey. On being preffed,
however, he acknowledged }laving gone into a
broker's Chop and Bolen it. The profecutor's ( Ran.
(hall) limp appeared, by the evidence of Mrs. Ran.
Ihall, who was again called up, to be one of that
defcription. A very few hours after fhe miffed the
ice, the was called on by the fall withers, who ailed
if the had loft fuch an article? She (aid the had, and
Ike fwnre to the lace in Court by its pattern.

The prifoner, who is a Jew,. and who dating the
trial behaved himfelf moft indifferently, eating a craft
of bread, and turning his back both on the Court and
Jury, In that Mr. Kirby's men had great difficulty
in keeping him at all decent ; being called for his
defence, raid, •' What ufe is it ?" A witnefs then
came forward. His name was Alexander Iliad ; he
had not been ordered to attend, and was in Court by
accident. He knew the prifoner to be mad, and had
()braved him in that Rate for (even or eight yeltrs.
The partner had good friends, who now and then
gave him five or fix guineas at a time. When the
prifoner received this bounty, he was in the habit of
going to bed, and taking his cafe, till it was all fpent.
About fevers months ago he came and lay at the wit-
nel's's door, from which he was not removed till the
witnefs difcharged a pail of water on him.
Lord ELLEN amw UGH eared, if he was drunk at
that time? to which the witnefs replied—No, he was
as I:ker as a judge, aye, as for as your Lordlitip.
Several other inftances were Rated as proofs of his
infarsity.
Lord Et LISSOIMJG If while ramming up the evi-
dence, adverted to the conduit of the prifoner, in go-
ing orderly to fell the property. The Rory be had
told of obtaining the fame, at Waltbans Abbey, did
not, his Lordlhip obfcrved, evince any want of ra-
tional prudence. but rather a cunning, which few
madmen would polies. lf. however, the Jury
thought the pr ironer deranged, they were bound to
acquit him, as the law could not extend to plurals ac-
tions committed by unfortunate individuals, aftuatect
by marina's. On the other hand, there was Strong
proof that the prifbner's derangement was merely the
effea of drunkennefs ; and his lying at the door of
the witnefs Ifrael, in the manner already dekribed,
could reasonably he fuppofed to proceed from no
other caufe than intoxication. The Jury were, how.
ever, left to decide according to the evidence ; if they
did not believe him mad, they would find him guil-
ty, as the robbery had been clearly proved. The
Jury after Tome deliberation pronooaced the prifoner
Guilty.
