brought to Marlborough-street Office, charged with

stoner was a general dealer in this spurious coin, a
person employed for the purpose was furnished with a
quantity of mar keel silver to make purchases of
On the 6th of November he bought one for nine aha:
hogs, and en the two following days he purchased
two others- for seven shillings each. On the jrk,
three officers went with the man employed, and.;
bought five others of the prisoner, at seven shili;4l,,.
each, at a public-house in Ruperl-street. OnupcZ,
bending the prisoner, the marked silver was yoted
upon him, and the base sovereigns upon the other,
The base metal is scarcely to be detected by the
ring, but the head is clumsily manufactured, and
they are Much short of weight. The prisoner was
remanded.

GUILDHALL.-.-THE DONKEY CAST--yesterday,
F. Hartley, charged on suspicion of stealing an as,,
was again brought up, and the evidence for the eqi
proceeded. Samuel Pemberton, a carman at Messe%
Hodgson's stables, in Bedford-street, deposed, that
the donkey was the same that Leggett, the witness
who had deposed to selling it to the prisoner, had
kept at his stables three weeks ago. J. Weod, a f„,
tier, also swore it was the same he had shod for ks.
Kett, and the shoes he now produced he knew to k
his make. In reply to this evidence, Mr.
wick, the proprietor of the Tunbridge Wells stud, re.
peated, that he was positive the animal wa• his, mid
bad been taken away only on Tuesday sennight_
Sir JAMES SHAW thought the weight of evidence it
favour of the prisoner, and discharged bin,. lie de.
parted, seemingly determined to hi ing his action fit
false imprisonment against Mr. Wi7,htsvick, and Mr.
Wightwick to try to recover the assay action of trove,
Dow-srneer.—Yesterday Thos. 11:4i:e n 35 briar&
up, Charged by a Captain in eie-Army stealin:
harness, apparel, &c. to the amount of MOO. The
Captain stated, that the prisoner was formerly his
coachman. In September v..itness vas arrested fie
debt, and taken to a lock-ep-house in Carev-street
At that time he was indebted to the prisoner about
00 for wages, &c. Charles Mends, also hisser.
vant, attended upon him for a few days iii the
sponging-house, and the prisoner was sent totiouti-
ampton to acquaint his friends of what had befall,
him ; but he soon learned that he had bee:i to
Hatchett's, and, in his name, obtained all the things
he left there ; and that he and a relation of his gets
great number of things at Southampton, by these=
device. He had applied several times to the prisoner,
to restore his property, and offered to pay him hi
wages, if he would deposit the things in the handsof
a third person; but he refused, and witness warn
nearly a week at one time without even a dean skit
The prisoner, in his defence, said, the Captain autho-
rised him to receive the property. Whee the Captain
was first confined, he went to the spunging-houseto
him, and waited upon him as a servant ought to do;
and the Captain one day said to him, " Thomas, it it
in your power to do me a very great service." lie
expressed his willingness, if it could be done with:
honesty ; and the Captain then said, that he had no
prospect of being released, and would he assist him
in making his escape. He proposed to get a gimblet,
a turn-screw, and other implements; and that he
l(prisoner) should go to Hatchetes, and get " what he
could' of his clothes, and disguise himself in them,
so as to favour his (the Captain's) escape. He hwe
ever refused to have anything to do with it. Seka
quent to that, the Captain had asked him to Ha
horses in his name, and sell them; and many*
things of the same kind.—The Captain deniedeery
assertion of the prisoner but that respecting themge
from the spunging-house. He said, he was also
in a state of phrenzy at the time, and he knew Os
got out, he could immediately procure the mesy,
and return, perhaps, almost before he was mai
Upon reflection, however, he was ashamed of hie.
self for having ever thought of an escape.—Cbarb
Mends, a boy of 15, who said he was employed'
the Captain's racing stable, was called Ly the
soner to corroborate his statement ; and he
the Captain did give the prisoner orders
the clothes from Hatchett's, and disguise
The Captain said, upon oath, he never gave
soner authority to receive the clothes,
Mn out= said, it was altogether a strange
business, and the Captain, he thought, was
in bringing it forward. He would not, however,
the prisoner go until he gave sureties, himself ir
and two responsible persons in £5O each for his
appearance ; and the prisoner was detained
