krlaia, Thomas Phillip:, alias Leeaatd, Bankell,
and Thowsal Briar, alias Brian, who were feized at the
Sutherland Arms, in Satkville-Ilreet, on Thurfday
evening Lia, playing a Little Gee, were brought
before Mr. Bozo, the Sitting Magiltra:e.

Mr. noun and Sir W. PARasows fat as Magiftrates.
Mr. &Teo° aro attended on behalf of the Attorney-
General, and the Stamp Office. . jlZr. Comsr and
Mr. MARRY•Ir, ac Counlel, and Mr. SHatHgaD, as
Attorney on the part of the profecution ; and Mr. I
Gvsuss and Mr. ALLAY, as Couolel, and Mr. Woox-
LE y, as Attorrey for the Defendants. The Lottery
Wheels, ivory...:ounterc, printed flips of each day's
drawing, (mall numerical and infurance books, Bcc.'
the ledger in which the prifits and lois were kept,
were all produced and fwern to. There was the molt
complete evidence of Holland being the principal.
and lix others (who were taken) being agents, and
who had taken infurance by going about from houfe
to hunfe, and then carrying the receipts to Holland,
who appointed the place where they were to attend to
fee it drawn. The publicans at whole honks the lot-
tery had been draw., likewife attended, and everyone
fired on Holland as the principal, who received and
paid. It appeared by the ledger, that there had been
zs days of drawing, at various public houfes, lance
the beginning of Litt month—and that the profits to
Holland, in there 21 days, amounted to upwards of
the enormous ham of 1,6001. Several of the days the
turns received amounted to t2ol. and the hits to
about s or 61. ; other days t3ol. received, and not
more than a guinea paid. Ili hot t, from the method
in which it was condueled, there was no trains to
ebaset, for thole who chew the tickets could prevent
tilt favourite numbers being pulled out, a. they were
to be known by thefiel. The comnotlion the agents
received Was two Ihillings in the pound on the amount
ihey took.

The Counfil ("1 the Defendants wifbed the M.lgif-
cratesnot to c.,ramit them as vagrants, but to take a
penalty of tool againd each, or Atuaamitmetit until
the fur was paid. The Counfel for the profecution
declared, that penalties were not the objeel ; but the
He intention was to prevent Holland, either by him-
f.lf or ay,ents,,from plundering the public any longer
in the manner they had done.

Mr. Esvcoosv defired all prefent to take notice,
that be had it in dire& orders from the Attorney Ge-
oval to declare, that in totem any publican or other
petters, who flanuld be found so let his houfe, any
ruons, waretionfe, tuft, or other premifes, to any per-
fon, for the purpofe of playing a Littk Got, or un-
lawful Lottery of any kind, lhoold be profecoted
with the turnoff rigour, for the penalty of fool. and
'alfo Wed on the Vagrant Aft ; and he defiled the
Attorney for the Profectitinn to call on him as often
as he pleafed, and he would give him .every •11.111
ance in bringing to jallice thole unions againti whom
the evidence, now given, was Co complete.
Much praik is due to the Maoiardtes, to the;very ,
great attention they paid to the buril.cfs. and the anat•
ours care they evinced to gttard 11. e F.,blic from this
fpecies of robbery in future. Hollantl, and all the
other parties were committed as vagrants till the
Q.Liarter Seffinns, when Mr. Eflcourt übferved the
Magitirates could commit for any further time, not
exceeding fix months, if they thought proper.
A journeyman gunfmith, of Mr. blanton's, Dover-

lid thrice unfeeling wretches told the poor woman
that Mr Holland would fpend god. fattier than be

A forgery of one pound notes on the Bank of
England, has lately been dace:meted in the prifon at
Norman Croft, and two French prifoners are now in
goal at Huntingdon, who are to be tiled at the next
affixes for the offence.. The engraved plate, which
is exceedingly well executed, and all the implement.
made ore of for engraving and printing, have been

the agent for priloners of war.
