BLACK MILLING AT DONCASTER.—It appears that
Rahinton, immediately upon his being released from
giving his evidence at the Old Bailey, last Monday
afternoon, left town, to accommodate his antagonist,
Sutton, with a meeting at Doncaster, either on Thurs-
day or Friday, in order • to prevent any disappoint-
ment to the numerous level,: already assembled at
these fashionable and sporting Races. Robinson has
not had the advantages of training, in this instance,
and will be scarcely off a long journey before lie faces
his man in the ring, which must operate very much
against him, added to his bang, it is said, oat of
condition. Sutton left town a tew'days since, under
the tuition of Richmond; and, although a novice,
seems confident of su:cess. Sutton is h very tall
bone, man, with very long arms ; :and in his set to':
with Oliver and Cooper, evinced milliag requisites,
which, if scientifically cultivated, are capable of doing
much mischief to his opponents. Robinson makes
equally sure of winning-5 to 4 upon the latter, but
in many instances premiums have been given . for
choice. A handsome subscription pulse will be the
reward of the conqueror, and at humph,: fight ie rather
ex lied.

GRAND PEDESTRIAN M.vroil or 1500 MILES IN 3'2
DATit AT LOWER TOOTING. SeRREY.•-.l2th nay.—
BARNET yesterday evenisig,.about six o'clock, finished
40 miles, and this morning, at a quarter past three,
again commenced, and at a quarter past eight had
accomplished 14 miles and a half.
While William MqCsty. labourer in Dairy, was
lately engaged in the repair of a road, a few miles
from that village, an adder crept into the pocket of
his jacket, which he had laid down beside the gravel
pit in which he was workings the pocket being slit,
the adder ley around the bottom of his jacket for three
days unperceived, until he found it stirring, when he
threw off his jacket, called his neighbours, and, to his
great surprise, found it aliid, and killed it. It mea-
sured 21 inches in length.
A serpent, 7 feet long, and 22 inches round the
body, was killed a felt days age by a servant of hire
JONXS, at Trehan, in the Isle of Angleset. Whets dis.
covered by the man, it was basking:inttbe sun; for-
tunately he hit it on the head with a stole; width be
threw, and a second blow dispatched it. `•

6iD LIILEY c 1 SSIONs:

w-tom

• , . . Hibti TREASAN.' • •
Yesterday Theion Bed, Joke Fellunn, and 3fichiu I,
Power, were put to the bar, being charged capitally
in the first tothit in the indictment
•ikh traiterously;
feloniously, aid deceitfully counterfeiting and cOlour-
ing base Coin, so as to make it resemble the current
coin of the realm I .and in the iecood with having
aided and abetted Dendis Riorton, James Quin, and
Thomas Connelly, who wait C.invicted of the like
crime at the Old Baiiey Sessions, in the same.
Upon the motion of the Arronaley-Groxam.;
Dennis Riorton, James Quin, and Thomas Connelly,
were called to the bar to receive his Majesty's par-,
dou for the crime of which they had been convicted,
in order that they might be able to give their evi-
dence against tie prisoners.
Brock, Pelham, and Power then retired, and Riot.-
ton, Quin, and Connelly, at the bar, delivered in the
pardon of his Majesty, which was read by the Clerk
of the arraigns.
Tim prisoners were then again put to the bar.
The ArroItNEY•GENERAL addressed the Jury, and
said he attended upon the present most sericills and
important occasion to state the outline of this very
extraordinary case. The chargc.against the prisoners
at the bar was for the heinous offence of high treason,
by colouring base coin snas to assimilate it to the
current coin of the realm t • but this was not the
greatest part of their crime. The prisoneri now stood
before a Jury of their country, charged with an
offence scarcely heard of, and he blight say without
example. They had almost sacrificed the lives of
three poor Irishmen, comparatively innocent to them-
selves, to satisfy their own atrocious love of lucre.—
The evidence was so clear- as to admit of no manner
of doubt as to the guilt of the prisoners, whether the
first or the second charge in the indictment were
looked at ; and he was happy to say, that when the
Chief Magistrate of this Metropolis retired from his
arduous and high duties to private life, there would
be nothing that could afford him more satisfaction
than in considering the laborious part he had taken
in sifting to the bottom this heinous and abominable
offence. He then stated the principal facts of the
case to the Jury.
Mr. ALLAY, as Counsel for the 'prisoners, raised an
objection, and contended, that aceessat les being- prin-
cipals in cases of high treason did not hold good in
the present case, and cited Lord Coke, Mr. Justice
Foster, and Mr. Justice Blackstone, who had dis-
tinctly laid it down, that accessories could in justice
only be considered principals in major acts of high
treason, as plotting against his Majesty's life, assisting
a foreign. enemy, &c. He therefore put it to the
Court, whether the charge against the prisoners
ought not to be confined to one or other of the counts
in the indictment, either making them actual traitors,
or merely acceuaries in the cnme ? The two counts
in the indictment could not amain, as he had shewn
that they were contradictory to one another.
Mr. Justice BURROUGIi obseaved, that no Act of
Parliament had made the distinction just laid dowb.
Baron GRAHAM remarked, that the substantial
charge against the prisoners was for high treason.—
The indictment contained two counts ; but he did
not see that the prisoners would be put to any incon-
venience, because it was their object to prove that
there was no high treason at all.
The objection was over-ruled.
Daniel Barry lived in Ebenezer place, Whitecross-
street : he knew Power for 18 years, and Pelham for
five months : he saw Pelham first in Power's coma
pony; they both came to witness's house, and asked
if he had any work, and requested him to go out
with them. He did not go, but soon after Pelham
.came again to his house, and he went with him to a
public-house, where he had something to drink, He
asked witness if be knew any houses where thieves
resorted, and said he would put him in a gnod thing,
as he had done Power. He said, that if witness
could get some men to break a window, he could
obtain officers to take them up; and that if they were
apprehended, a good rewind would be• the conse-
quence. He then asked if witness knew any man
who could-pass bad ,Ss. pieces ? After a good deal
more conversation, Pelham asked witness it he could
get some men to make bad shillings, for that. if he
could, Michael Power would make stuff to colour
quart pot. Witness said, that it he wanted men he
should go to market for them. The market was in
Cheapside, where poet Irishmen stood at the corner
of King-street waiting fur work. A few days after,
he saw Power and Pelham at his house. Power
,asked Pelham, " Did you tell Barry any thing ?"--
Pelham said," No." Power added, " Have you
sworn him ?" Pelham said, " No, he would not
swear." Power said, " I have a deal to tell him,
and Barry does not believe what I say to be true."—
Pelham then wanted to swear witness, saying. You
must swear to keep every thing sectet, for Power has
given a good character of you." About four or five
.days atter, Pelham came to witness's house, and said,
he wanted him .to go along with Mike Power to
market to get two men next morning at seven o'clock,
and they would meet at Cripplegate. It was agreed
to do it, and next morning Pelham came to his house,
and when he went out found Brock and Power wait-
ing in the alley by the house for them. They bad
some gin in a public-house, and afterwards went to
market for two men, leaving Brock behind. When
they bad got a little way on the road, Pelham said,
Now, Mike, it won't do that I should go to mar-
ket, for I must assist the officer in taking the men
.up." Pelham, therefore, was left behind. Having
get to the market about a quarter past seven, witness
saw Riorton and Quin, and asked them how work
went on ? They said, very badly, and were walking
off with their tools, but Barry went with the men,
and talked to them in. Irish. Power followed be-
hind, and after they had got a little way Power said
to witness, " I dare say these men want work."-
-Quin said, " Indeed we do." Power then replied,
" Meet us at thetsign of the Cat, in Whitecross-street,,
at nine o'clock. and I will ask my master if he wants
workmen." They then parted ; and as soon as
ness and Power were lett together, Pelham came up,
and said; " Is all right ?" Power said os Yes," and
mentio6ed the place of appointment. Pelham said,
GI I must then go and get some money far them."—
They. met the men according to•appointment at sine
o'clock at
.the Cat, and took them to the French
Horn; there were don Felon himself, Power,
'Quin, and Riorton s Pelham canalioto the tap, saw
the tnen, turned round. and Anwer followed bias.

Power Said, 44 1. have go' a shilling, we wilt go into
the Three Mariners and have a pot of be:e." They
went in arid had a pet of beer, and while they were
drinki:tg the second pot, Pelham Came in, gave a
look at the men, beckoned witness's son, and went
into the parlour. His son had not been in these per.
ties, but hid been in company with Brock, Pelham,
and Power, when they talked about two men, whom
they wanted, as they said, to set a copper. This
was stoic days before the present meeting. Witness's
son came back into the tap-room, and he saw Brock
and Pelham go out of the parlour into the street ;
Power followed, but pr,:sently came hack, and told
his son, Your toaster wants you." Power said
afterwards, that he had sent young Barry to take a
room : his son came back, and Said he had taken
room in Cow-cross. An appointment was made to
meet the two men at six o'clock rest morning, at the
Red Cow, LoTig-lane, frJrn whence they were to go
to the room which had been hired in Cow-cross.—
They did meet accordinely ; and as witness was
standing near the house, Pelham came, walked on
the opposite side of the way, and beckoned Power to
him. Witness went with him, and Pelham said,
d 1 did a bad thing last night : I have taken a room
at the bottom of Cow-cross, and gave the landlord a
shining, a pot of beer, and some gin. It was the
worst thing I could do, for when I get to apprehend
the men, the landlord will know me." He added,
44 I must forfeit my reckoning fiiiit." Power then
returned to the men, and soon alter Brock came upr.
with a cane in his hand, and desired Witness to eTI
Power to be sure to get a room in the city. he
then went back to the men who were in the bothee
and it was appointed to meet in Moorfields at one
o'clock. Witness, his son, and Power, took a room
in. Angel-court, in the city, about tea o'clock ; and at
one o'clock met the men, and took them to the room
iirhich had been so taken. Witness, Power, Quilt,
rind Riorton went into the room; but did nothing
thee.. In abbut an hour after; his sett came in with
. white basin and a brown pin: In the evening they
went to a public-house, and had some beer : Pelham
saw Power in the street, and upon the latter asking
for tome beer, Pelham said he could not give it, for,
added he, I have to go .fok We took." At nine
o'clock nett morning Pelhaiir came into the Coopers'
Arms, where Power and a itnets were, and brought
in a hammer and two Wes.. Power took up the ham-
mer, and said it was a bad tool :o work with. Next
suttrning witness met Brock, his son, Power, Pelham,
andthe two rmer. Pelham was on the other side of
the way, and called witness and Power over. •He
took the hammer and files from his bosom, and gave
them to Power, as well as a pair of scissors, which
he said he had borrowed from his landlady, adding.
u I suppose she will tieseT see them again." Wit-
ness and Power then went to Moorfieids, met the
men, and carried them to the room. Power went
out,
-and after some time he came in again, smut-
ipanied by witness's son, who brought with him a
bottle, a paper with something like flour ano-
ther with something hard in it, some salt, some
matches, and a candle. Power these said, Where
is the brass ?'' and young Barry gave it to him.—
Power then look the brass, marked it in straight
lines the size of a shilling, and then cut it With the
scissors into strips. He gave it to the Irishmen, who
cut the strips into squares, and Power rounded them
like shillings with a the : he then gave them to the
Irishmen to file and :cower. Witness worked with
them. When they were ail done, Power rubbed all
of them over with fine scowering paper. There were
about thirty pieces altogether. Power then went
down for a pipe, brought it up alight, lighted the
candle, put some of the liquid out of the bottle into
the basin, and put a shilling out cf his' pocket into
it. He then put a handkerchief' over the basin,
and put the basin over the candle, till a blue flame
came up through the hendkerchill : then he toot
the heodkerchief off, and blew • nut the candle.—
He then stirred up the contents' of the basin, put'
some of the white stuff out of the bag into it,
scraped some of die hard stuff out of the other paper
into it, and put in some salt, whiting, and,water.--
While. lie. was doing this he said melting, but pulled
a written direction out of his pocket every now and
then, and looked at it. Power nen looked at the
pieces of copper, and said, Idu not think they are
round enough. There was not long since a good
job lest from their not being round enough, for the
,Solicitor is very hard to please." They then had
their breakfast, and afterwards washed their hands.
Power told witness and tie Iritlimen tb rub the
pieces of copper with this cliff which had already
prepared in the basin. • They were so rubbed, and
afterwards were dropped into sons; waver ; the pieces
were then, put to dry, and after a hick time they *ere
wrapped up very carefully by Pow!:, sepaptely, in
fine brown paper. At six o'clock the men and wit-
ness, at his son's desire. went to a public-house to
drink ; and Power said, " will take these shillings
to Pelham and Brock, and ask if they will do."—
Next morning witness went to the room about eight
o'clock, and found the men there: he had overslept
himself: Power said that the shillings would not do
at all, and .Pelham and Brock said so. He added,
si We must make some good ones." .Thea Riorton,
in Power's presence, said, " wonlet whether our
master will employ another poor fellow whom we
left at home starving." Power-et first hesitated, bus
at last-consented, and said, Gs But be sure you swear
him before you-bring him here." Riorton went away,
and soon after brought the man; and being asked
whether he had been sworn, be said, 41 0 yes. that
he has." Alter breakfast, witness's son came in
with some copper and a note to Power, and told him
that his master had mid, 40 Be sure not to make an
East Smithfield job of it." Thertben went to work
again, and Power cut the copper ;this time himself
more particularly. He did it. however, in the same
way. As the awn did their work, Power &gibed
it, and made-them to the similitude of a shilling be
bad in his hand., Connally, who was flu man who

,~

came in last, then said, gg Barry, we are doing a job
that will hang us all." 'Witness said, 6, Are we ?
than t will keep you another day at it." Brock and
Pelham said to witness they were quite safe,. and'
need fear nothing. The men were promised some
bacon and cabbage for dinner ; witness then went
out, and met Power, Brock, l'elharn. and his son,
in Cripplegate; lie said to Brock. " What a pretty
mess yen left me in. for it Taylor or any strange
Officer had come, they would have taken me."—
Binek said, " Go back to 'the men, for Taylor is
gone to get the warrant signed ; all will be ready in
an hour." Power and witness then went back to
the room different ways, rind set the men about co-
louring the old ones over again, to keep them em-
ployed. Witness then laid the parings of the brass
cut off, and some of the brass pieces, and the imple-
ments of coining near them, all at hand for the Of-
hetrs to find when they came. The Irishmen did
not knew what was meant by it. Witness's son then
came in, and said, " My master wants you and
Power to come and fetch a table, and bring the din-
ner up." They then went down as if for the dinner,
and left the men at work. He saw Brock and Tay-
lor in Moor-lane, going to the room to take up the
men. Soon after he heard that the men were ap-
prehended, and the whole discovered. They were
apprehended on the 30th of May last. When the
men were tried, witness attended, and saw Brock
and Pelham in the Old Bailey-yard. In the evening
of the apprehensinn, they all met at the Geo-ge ;
and Brock said that Taylor had mentioned to him
that it was a very good job indeed ; and Brock added,
that witness should be careful not to be together, or
sear his house.
Nathaniel Barry was tl.e son of the lase witness.
Power came to his fir !er's house, and asked if he had
any thing to do ? Witness said, gi If I had I should
not be here." His father, Power, and he, went to
thetorner of Fell-street, in Wood-street, where Power
• went up to Brock's room, and lett witness in the
street. Power and Block stopped up, but Pelham
came down, and :aid to his father, that they wanted
sortie men to set a copper, and that witness and his
father must go to the market ,for them. They went
to the market after they bad had some gin with Brock
and Pelham. Pelham went first, and said there
were no men at market. They then went to the Ma-
riners. The Sessions of the Old Bailey were sitting.
They all agreed to meet in the evening, and Brock
said he would bring a man of the name of Jefferson
with him to do the job. By the job witness thought
was meant, setting the copper. They did meet, and
they had some drink. Power and his father were
always talking Irish ; but he heard Brock say, gg It
is a very good job, if I can get the men to do it."
Next day they met in Cripplegate-street, and hoheard
Brock say to Power, s. Mind you pick out a strong
one." Brock and Power were before, and Quin and
his father behind. Some time after, the clay Quin
and Riorton were hired, Brock asked witness to cake
a light room, together with Pelham, in the City.
They could not find a room in the City, but took a
room in Cow-cross, and paid Is. or 6d. as earnest
money. Pelham said to the woman of the house that
he was a coach-painter, and lived in Holborn ; but it
was not true. Pelham then asked witness if he un--
derstoerk making clasps. Witness said he would try.
Pelham then sent him to a brass-founder's, and he
got same sheet brass. Yeliians said it would not do,
and was for sending him back, but Drock, after
having cut it with some scissors, said, 46 It will do
nicely." Pelham said afterwards, " The room we
have taken won't do: we must get another." Witness
then went, according to appointment, to the Rea
Cow, Long-lane. An apartment was afterwards
taken by witness, his father, and Power, in Angel-
court, and the other roam was given up. Next
morning Bruck gave witness a white basin, and a
brown bag filled with something, to take to the house
in Angel court. He did take it, and saw there Quin,
Riorton, and his father. The day after, he was de-
sired to take a quartern loaf into the room ; and then,
for the first time, he saw Connelly and the others
making shillings. As soon as he perceived it, lie
said, 66 If I had known this work was going on, I
. would have had nothing to do with it." He said the
same to Brock, who replied. 6, Hold your tongue,
you fool, there is money enough to be made of it ;"
atidadded, in Pelham's hearing, 6' If I had a hun-
dred of these, I have a customer who would take
them." Witness forgot to mention, when he brought
the brass, Brock took a bottle from the closet. Pel-
ham said, " I do not think it is strong enough," and
poured it out. Brock then told witness, 66 Go and
get threepenny worth of aquafortis in this bottle, and
twopenny worth of sal ammoniac. Brock put them:
into his side-pocket, together with some cream of
tartar, stuff like flour, which he afterwards bought.
All this happened at Brock's house. Pelham then
wrote a note to Power, put a shilling in it, told wit-
ness to tell Power to make the shilling like that—and
not to make an East Smithfield job of it. He objected
to take the note, but Petnam said, 66 Oh, nonsense,
take it, there is no harm in it." He saw Pelham
afterwards, and upon witness complaining of the job,
Pelham said, " It you or your father say any thing
more about it, I will have you both hung as high as
ever Haman was hung. After the men were appre-
hended, witness saw Brock and Pelham, and Brock
said, 66 I wish I knew any one who knew Connelly,
ail lie could go to him, make him turn King's evi-
dence, and he would be sure to make them swing, or
else go fishing for life."
Wm. Taylor was a constable belonging to' the
ward of Aldersgate. He knew Brock and Pelham.
,Brock on the 50th of May last came to witness, and
asked him to go and apprehend some coiners in
Angel-alleys Moor-lane. He asked how he knew it,
and Brock said, 6, I have it from very good authority."
Witness then obtained a search-warrant, and in going
down Little Britain with Brock, he saw a man
leaning on a post. Brock said, 64 Pelham, how are
they going on P' Pelham said, " It is all right."
Brock, made an affidavit before Alderman Cox that
he knew of the coiners, and by that means the warrant
was obtained. As witness was going with Brock to
the room, be met Penton again, and upon Brock
asking. if, they were ready, Pelham said, •• There is
out nusaing." In passing Angel-court witness saw
a man gout; into the house : they then followed,
went up stuns and kuag Quin, Richton, and Con-
nelly, sitting- oh the 84 rubbing pieces of maul
resembling shillings: there was no furniture in the
worn. All the Men were handeliftli aiid upon being

*arched, he found upon Riorton bad shillings wrap-
ped very carefully up in paper for fear they shonld
rub : their hands were black with, colouring; they,
seemed very much alarmed, Quits jumped round *re
wpm, and one of them said, If you will wait, one
of ahem has gone out for our dinners." He waited
a minute or two, but thoughtit most prudent not tol
wait longer. In searching the room he found a hani•
mer, two files, a pair of .scissors, and a l7ottle of
agitafortis, which last wasiound by Brock in a closet.
He found also 27 pieces of money altogether in the
room. (The hammer, files, &c. were produced in
Court.)
Anthony Harrison was an officer—Mrs. Brock
gave him the files and other things, now produced in
Court, at Brock's lodgings, on the 20th of July.
Taylor recalled—Stated the things now produced
to be those found when apprehending the former pri-
soners. Powell, of the Mint, produced the base
money which had been found on Riorton, and five of
which he had kept after the former trial.
William Taylor recalled—ldentified the five bad
shillings produced to be part of the eight which were
exhibited by him at the former trial. He knew them,
for he had marked them with a cross.—Cross-exa-
mined. He marked the whole of the 27 shillings,
but there were five, not of his marking put among
the others.

James Coonan deposed, that Susan Field borrowed
the scissors now produced in Court. He believed
those were the .scissors. They were broken at the
point. ,
Susan Yield said, Power and Pelham lodged at
her house. Pelham said he wanted a pair of scissors
to cut his hair, aml witness borrowed them for that.
purpose of the last witness.
Ellen Burgess proved that she sold the hammer
and two files to Brock and Pelham, which were now
exhibited in Court. She sold them about the end of
May last.
John Bradley kept the Three Mariners public house.
He had seen Brack and Pelham at his house. Quin
and Riorton were at his house two slays before they
were apprehended. They all came about five o'clock
in the evoking. Brock asked for an ink-stand, and
made no use of it. He obtruded himself into the bar,
and witness told him to keep his own company.—
Young Barry was also there, and soon after they all
went out together.
Randal MtDonnell was a labourer. He knew
Riorton and Quin. One morning two men came up
to Riorton and Quin, and asked if they wanted ail?
They said they did, and went away with the two
men. ,Power was one of them, and Barry was the
other. Soon atter he heard Quin and Riorton were
in custody. Witness saw the two men who had taken
Quin and Riorton away, in the yard of the Old
Bailey, talking to Brock and Pelham. He 'hewed
them to Mr. Griffiths, and as soon as they saw him
they went out at the gate. He followed them to New-
gate-street, laid hold of Power and Barry by the
coat, and said, “ You are the two men who took the
men from Cheapside-market." They said they were
not. Power knocked him down, and Sloth ran away
as hard as they could. Witness cried out, Stopi
coiners !" but the people not understanding, took net
notice. A man afterwards seized Barry, and wit-
ness taxed him again with taking the men from the
market. He denied it as he did before. The rook
who held Barry could not understand what witness
said, until an Irishman came up and explained it,
and then the stranger held him fast. Barry was
taken to the three Irishmen, who were then waiting
to be tried, and was recognized by them. He was
in a great fright.
John Langen lived in Cow.cross, and remembered
seeing Pelham and young Barry at his house in May
last. They asked for a room, and they hired it for
a week, and gave 6d. earnest. They never took pos-
session of the room.

Esther Pritchard lived at Angel-alley, Moorfidds,
and proved that about five mouths ago a young man
of the name of Barry hired lodgings them.
John Collins deposed, that Brock lodged with him
in Fell-street. On the day of the apprehension of the
three Irishmen, being pressed, Le went with Brock
to the George,-in Beech-street, and joined company
with young and old Barry, Power, and Pelham.
. Francis Hobler, clerk to the Lord Mayor, had the
first examinations before his Lordship. On the 15th
of July Barry and M'Donnell were examined ; Pel-
ham was present, and was detained as well as Barry.
On the second examination, 16th of July, Taylor,
Worrell, and Pritchard, were examined : Pelham and
old Barry were remanded. On Friday, the 19th of
July, another examination occurred, and on the Bth of
August the final examination took place : Brock and
Pelham were then finally committed.
James Quin was an Irish labourer ; he had been in
England about 14 months, and used to go to the,
market-place inCheapside to be hired for laboue,—
One day-he went to the market, and was met by the
elder Barry, who asked him if he wanted a job ? He
said he did. Barry said, 66 My master wants one
or two men." • The witness was unable to proceed
any further without an interpreter, and Griffiths, the
Irish interpreter, was sworn.
The witness said that he was employed by Barry
and Power to rub round pieces of copper, like shil-
lingo, and was taken up by the officer while he was
-doing it, together with Rim-ton and Connelly. While
Ire was in the room young Barry brought some-
thing up into it.
The Arronwer GENERAL considered it a waste of
time to call either Connelly or Riorton.
Henry Ramand, as officer of the Court, produced
a copy atof the record of the conviction the three
Irishnien.—(lt was read by the clerk of the Court.)
The evidence for the prosecution being concluded,
Mr. ALLEY raised an objection, that the iedictment
had been framed teo late, according to the rules of
law s but it was given up, upon its being found that
is had been held that the examinations before the
Magistrates might be considered as the commence-
ment of the trial of ;be prisoners.
The Judge (Mr...fastice BE/MOWN) called upon
the prisoners for their defence.
Brod first addressed the Court, and observed, drat
Pelham had informed him early in May last, he bad
observed some men of bad tharacier gorng about pas-
sing bed money, that 'he had watched them solar
into several houses, and that he had traced them to a
boom is Angel•court, in Mootfietds, and had every
reason to think they were coibtrs. • Upon this infor-
mation, he (Brock) sunesftd•the propriety of going,
to Taylor, the Mow, thintve the place icia •r4edp but,


Pelham said it was Letter they both should go and
discover them. He then weot-and informed -Taylor
of the circumstance, and proceeded in company with
him to Guildhall; where, when Aldetznan Cot ar-
rived, he got a warrant tor the apprehension of these
men, whom he supposedwere,coiners. After having
got the warrant, he went to the house in Afigel-court,
where he found the three men sitting on the floor, in
the act :3f rubbing some pieces of base metal, and they
were immediately taken into custody. Having stated
this, which was nothing but the truth, he would leave
his case to the Court and the Jury ; but he could not
avoid observing, that perjury. had been that, day
committed against him. He then produced a Wit-
ness, Elizabeth Mee, who swore that she knew .the
prisoner about two years,' during which time he bore
a good character.. Another witness whom he called
had known him some time, but knew nothing of him
for the last few years.
Pelham then addressed the Court, and stated that he
bad much the same defence to make as Brock. He
had observed the three men who were arrested, in the
act of passing base money, watched them, and having
discovered their abode, he gave the information
which led to their detection. He further added, that
two persons who had given evidence had sworn
falsely. The one the woman who swore about the
file, and the other the publican. As to the Barrys
they were notoriously bad characters ; they had both
perjured themselves in the evidence they gave--he
could bring witnesses to prove it.
The Jonas—" You have got Counsel, who will
ezt:rcise their discretion as to the production of wit-
nes,es you may deem it necessary to call."
The pi Rimer, Pelham-6' My Lord, I repeat, those
two witnesses have sworn falsely ; that is the real
fact, before GOD and man. There has been bribery
in this prosecution. I always thought, and still be-
lieve, that Brock had a hint of the coiners before I
spoke to him or went after them. I am sure he had."
On the question being put to the prisoner Power,
he said—" I have no friends, and am forsworn, my
Ldrds ; I know no more about the crime than the
child unborn." _ _

The intros then said—" If there are any witnesses
for the prisoners, let them now be called."
Mr. CURWOOD —•6 My Lord, I am not instnected
to call any witnesses."
No further evidence being adduced,
Mr. Justice BURROUGH then summed up the evi.
dence at considerable length, and in conclusion told
the Jury, that if they believed what had been sworn,
they would find the prisoners guilty, for that in point
of law it was not necessary to prove the prisoners
were the persons who were 'actually engaged in
rounding and colouring the metal which was inten-
ded to pass as money. It would be sufficient if they
(the Jury) believed the prisoners to have aided, •bet=
ted, or advised such acts. Neither was it necessary
to be proved, in order to establish the fact of coining,
that the King's head should be stamped on the base
metal so coined. It would be sufficient to establish
the crime, if it appeared that the money was in such,
a state as to pass in appearance for the coin of the
realm. The evidence which had been given went
fully to prove that fact ; and here he should observe
that the evidence of the Barrys, which might be very
suspicious, if unsupported, was, in its principal tea.
tures, strongly borne out and corroborated by the
testimony of the other witnesses. There was one
circumstance, which did not appear in evidence, and
that was, it did not S2CM the prisoners intended to
make any use of the base money so coined, or to
profit by its circulation ; bin at the same time that
he mentioned this, he should say it was a subject not.
so much for the cansiderltion of the Jury as of the
Court. It did militate against the facts which had
been sworn to ; and if it had any weight, it would
be in another place, where he and his Learned Bro-
thers on the Bench would, with all the Judges of
England, give it lull consideration : and it it was
thought strong enough, the prisoners should have
the benefit of it. On the whole, it would remain
with the Jury to see what credit was due to what had
been sworn, and to give their conscientious decision
accordingly.
The Jury consulted together for about a minute,
and returned a verdict of—Guilty, against all the
prisoners. The trial lasted from ten in the morning
till six in the evening ; and the immense crowds
which were in the Court, and in all the avenues
leading to it, strewed the great public interest which
it excited.

The prisoner Brock is a very dark looking, stout
man, rather above the middle size, and about thirty-
seven years of age. Pelham and Power are about
the middle size; the former about thirty years of age,
and the latter forty.
The Loan MAYOR directed that the three poor
Irishmen should be taken care of, for_ the present,
in the gaol. They should not, he observed, be
turned tato the streets, without any resource. Some
little money had been subscribed for them, which
should be .applied to their best advantage.
Anne Bainbridge was tried for stealing cart ain ar
ticks of female apparel from the house of Mr. Hug-
gins, in Nottingham-place, Mary-la-bonne, in August
last. It appeared in evidence that the things were
stolen, but restored in the course of the evening of the
day on which the theft took place. Mr. Huggins
stated, that he understood prisoner, who was a chair-
woman, was very poor. Prisoner stated that she had
six children in want of food, and which alone drove
her to the commission of the clime—but yet, that
repenting in the coarse of the day she had the articles
restored—she declared that she never before in the
course of her life committed a dishonest act. The
Jury found her guilty, but recommended her to
mercy. Mr. HOggitis then said, that he understood,
that on the do the risoner committed the theft, she
had only a fourpenif loaf for the subsistence of her-
self and six children.
William Seel:lulu was convicted of stealing a tea
caddy, and Thomas Macariky of stealing a cheese.
James Ryder was convicted of stealing two coats
and a pair of pantaloons, *value 395. from John Bai-
ley, in Sr. Martin's-street, on the sth of Jply last.
This prisoner was tried on a second' indictment,
for atealiiig a new suit of clothes from Charles Mor-1,
gan, of Duke-street, Bloomsbury, on the 13th July.
Morgan. the prosecutor, deposed,' that he was a
