OLD BAMET.

• .
Mr. Ahtony Macienrot, who w'ks acquitted on Ba-
tttida4, last of a charge of forgery, on the ground of
insanity) was yesterday again put to the bar, when
Mr. GURNEY made an, application to the Court to hare I
the prisoner detained till the next Sessions, M order
to take his trial on another indictment for a similar
offence, before another Jury, who might hula
criminally responsible. As the prisoner, from the
nature •t the ground upon which he was acquitted,
must necessarily remain in confinement, lie would '
sustain no Wads-hip by the Court aecoi ding to this
application.
Mr. ALLEY, Counsel for the Prisoner, opp•Is•:d t!le
motion, and observed, that one of the witnes,Ls who
had proved insanity up to a recent peliod was about
to proceed immediately to Tortola.
Mr. Justice DALLAS was of opinion that,the appli-
cation could not be sust..ined without affidavit. It
niighs be extraMely injurious to the prisoner to put
him to the necessity of te•assernbling his witnesset.—
The Cosnsel for the prosecution, however, were at
liberty to determine wheth2r they would try the pri-
soner on fannther indictment during the present Sa-
tings. This was a question which mast be left en-
tirely to their discretion.
Mackenrot is to be brought up again this ea:,
and the question to be finally decided.
.toward Taylor, aged 31, and Rakers Ta;Jor, a lad
of 17, (brothers,) were indicted for iurgioi; or utter-
ing a forged order for the delivery of 72'd hides out
of the London Ducks.

Mr. SrANKI opened the proceedings.
This case lasted all the morning, but the facts may
be concisely stated, and were as follow :—The piiso-
ners were brokers, at least the eldest was, whri car-
ded on business for' his mother, the widow of a bro-
ker of considerable business in the City of London.
The father, and, after his death, the house, c:,iitinued
to be employed by the house of Sir John Lob!inek
and Co. and from that house they had received in-
.:unctions to sell a considerable qu::nii,.y c,i hi.les,
brought by the ship Commerce fium Ca.iz." The
hides remained unsold for some tiny, cut at length
the prisc•nf!r, Edward Taylor, gave thelr,iuse ot.Lub-
buck and Co. a sale note, v;!:.,.it was dated the Bth
June, which purported that they had sold the
hides to one Y. Broadwo,A, payable by good bills at
four months. The Louse accordingly gave the pri-•
toner a note for the delis'ery of the hides to P. Broad-
wood ; this order was dated the 14th July, 1814.
Lot in point of fact, the prisooe:s had not soil the
hides to Broadened, but had only ustd is name as
a nominal purchaser. By this order the Irides were
tizlivtrable (Ally to Broadwood, ..Ild theretoie it re-
, quirt:J:l Broadwoon's indorsement before they were
ca•iiverable to any one else. In the month of Fe.
bruary fillowing, six months afterwards, an inditse-
went was written upon the order, " deliver to the
older of Taylor and Sons," slimed 4' P. Breadsvmd,4
and this was the forged indorsement cernplainrd of.
Witnesses were called to shew tins in..2inse-
ment was the hand-writing of t..e yi,unger ;
but none of them established that t•act. The order
was, howevea, delivered by the elder brother to a
Clerk, and under that order the hides were dein•lcd
trout the Dock to the paisoiler. _lie shortly alit r-
wards became a bankrupt, :tad tltc liides•wtlo..seizi*:d
in his warehouse for ruin ; bin before they were scized
lie went to Lubbock's, bei;king that they sstio;tl re-
scind the contract, and say the hides weie sate ru uis
warehouse.

Mr. Lubbock said lie did not bAieve the prisoner
Meant to deb and rn, buL Mat he bought the olden
!mouth in a fiztiAt.us name, and was prevented Irons
tor them by an intervening insolvency.
The elder prisoner addressed the Jury in an im-
pressive manner. He protested he had no intention
ut fraud that he had been guilty of an irregularity,
he admitted; but he hni.ed the Jury would think tj)e
forfeiture of his life too severe a penalty for his error.
With respect to his brother, he declared that. be was
wholly innocent ; that just bri,ught into the counting-
house, lie had no knowledge or expttience in the
modes of business, and that what he had done was
without the least evil intent.

The Learned Judge (llAccAs), in a most eloquent
and able sun►ming up, posntec out every possible
aspect of the evidence, and told them they would not
overlook whether what was dune was with au intent
to defraud.

The Jury, after half an hour's deliberation, acquit-
ted both the prisoners.
The moment the verdict was pronnunced, the
Court was tilled with the loudest acci itn.tions—
cheering and clapping of hands. T;te two [matters
tell into each others arms, and for a moment all was
lost in au extacy of joy. At length the voice of the
Learned Judge (DALLAS) was heard, who threatened
to commit any person who dared to interrupt the ' si-
lence of the Court.

MIDDLEiEX SESSION 3.

IMPORTANT CASK OF CONSPIRACI, Par3EQUIED By

THE EAST INDIA C.VSIPA SY.

William Sellers, of slopselier, and James
;frown, of Cock-hill, Ratcliffe, slopseller, sere indic-
ted for a conspiracy to defraud John Wright, a sea-
man on board the City of London, a ship in the ser-
vice of the Hon. East India Company, of the wages
and pay' due to him for .bit services on board that ship
in her voyage to and from the East Indies.
Mr. SPANKIE opened the pleadings, and Mr• See-
jeant BosanQuer stated the cue to the Jury, by
which it appeared, that this prosecution had been in-
stituted by the East India Company againit the two
de endants, for the purpose of putung down, if pos-
' sible, the iniquitous frauds so repeatedly practised by
crimps upon the unsuspecting.seamen. The evidence
adduced by the Learned Serjeant to support this in-
dictment,was as follows :

John Wright deposed, that he was an ordinary sea-
man on board the City of London, ,and that in The
early- part of 1812 he sailed in that ship to Madras,
and returned to England in August, 1813 ; that on'
his arrival at Porfleet, be agreed with the defendant
SeUers that he (the defendant) should discount a bill
of sale for the wages then due to the witness for his
services ; that witness and some other seamen cat*:
.to Poplar by a coach, and in company with Thomp.
son and Lynch, who are also crimps ; that witness
slept that night at Lynch's, and the next morning
went to be' llers's house, which was very near Lynch's,
Ind there received from Sellers a suit of clothes,
having one articl% of each description ; that after he
had been thus clothed, be could get no money frr'm
