went to the Coopers' Arms that day, in consequence
of instructions she had received from the Solicitor to
the Bank, to purchase forged Bank-notes ; introduced
herself to Weller, and said she had got a watch to
sell, for which she wanted 18s. but she understood
he could let her have some queer notes (meaning
forged ones) ; he said “ Yes, he could." Witness then
asked him if he would let her have two one-pound
notes for the watch. After some further negotiation,
he delivered her two one-pound notes. She then left
him, and took the notes to Mr. Christmas at the
Bank. In the course of conversation Weller told her
she might have forged notes at any time. On the
following day, the 14th, she went again and pur-
chased two other £1 notes for 16s. She then asked
him if she took ten whether he would not let her have
them cheaper? He said yes, he would let her have
them at 7s. 6d. a piece. She then appointed to go
for ten notes on the following Saturday morning.
She went, according to appointment, on the Satur-
day. On all these occasions she took a person named
Grey with her, who waited for her in the street. On
this occasion she saw both Weller and Cashman ;
they went into the back parlour, and all sat down.
Cashman asked witness how many she wanted ? she
said, half a score. Cashman asked her for the money.
Witness said she had got it all right, and when he
brought the notes she would give it to them. Cash-
man said he must have the money first ; it was his
rule, in case it should be marked; and that they
might put it away before they produced the notes;
and that witness need not be afraid, it was Weller
she was dealing with, and he would continue in the
room whilst he, Cashman, went for the mites. After
some time she gave him £5. 15s. and he went to get
them ;he was gone about half an hour. During
Cashman's absence, Weller asked witness if she ever
wanted any £5 notes? She said a man that she knew
had asked her about them ; he said he would let her
have them at 30s. and she might charge .50s. Wit-
ness asked him if he would meet her and her friend
at a house she named ? he said no ; he delivered them
no where but at the Coopers' Arms ; he had complied
with the wish of a young man on one occasion, and
went to a house named to him, where he found two
officers placed to detect him, and he had since been
more cautious. Cashman soon after came back, and de-
livered the notes to Weller, who gave them to the wit-
ness. Ultimately it was agreed that Weller and Cash-
man were to come to the Horse and Cart, in Gas-
well-street, to meet her friend; and on the Monday
morning after, she went, accompanied by Sellers, the
police officer, who was introduced to her by the Bank
Solicitor, to the Horse and Cart. Sellers was dressed
as a countryman. Witness left Sellers there, and went
to the Coopers' Arms, and informed Weller and Cash-
man where he was, and stated that he wanted six
fives. Cashman went to the Horse and Cart, whilst
Weller went to get the notes. After some negotia-
tion, Sellers agreed to take four fives at L'2 a piece,
and ten ones.at Os.
Cross-examined.—Witness is a married woman,but
does not live with her husband, who has been trans-
ported, and is at present on board the hulks for pass-
ing bad notes ; no promise had been made to her that,
if she convicted the present prisoners, her husband
should be pardoned. She came forward on the pre-
sent occasion to do all in her power to put an end to
the circulation of bad notes, and thus prevent other
women being placed in the same unhappy st ate she
now was. Witness at present lives in Oakley-street,
Westminster-road, and supports herself by washing

and ironing ; expects to be paid for her loss of time,
but looks for no other reward ; she got the money to
purchase the notes from Mr. Christmas, of the Bank ;
does not know whether the money was marked. The
notes to be furnished to Sellers were four £5 at E'l a
piece, and ten ones at 9s. each : the money, £l2, was
given to Cashman, but the notes were never delivered
to Sellers or to the witness. _ _ _

Joseph Guy corroborated the testimony of the for-
mer witness. In his cross-examination, he stated, that
lie never had received a farthing from the Bank, nor
had he any promises or expectation of receiving any
reward.

William Sellers, a constable of Mary-la-bonne
parish, corroborated that part of the first witness's
statement which related to her going to the Horse and
Cart to negotiate the purchase of some forged notes.
Cross-examined.—Witness knew nothing of the
notes mentioned in the indictment ; they were pro-
cured by the first witness before she was introduced
to him.

Mr. Christmas, the Bank Inspector, proved receiv-
ing the notes from Mrs. Frears, and that they were
all forgeries.
Cashman, in his defence, declared he never saw
Mrs. nears in his life till he saw her at Marlborough-
s reet-otEce ; and she then said, in the hearing of seve-
ral persons, " My husband was transported last Ses-
sions by means of a Jew in Field-lane, and I'll hang
every Jew in the country if I can, for they are all
related." _ _ _

Weller said he should leave his defence to his
Counsel. They called no witnesses to character.
After a summing up from Mr. Justice BURROUGH,
the Jury found a verdict of Guilty against both the
prisoners.
MEL UPON HENRY HUNT.

At the rising of the Court, thi* well-known cha-
racter, who had taken his seat at the Counsel table,
and who had previously risen to make a motion, but
was prevented by the proceedings before the Court,
now rose and stated, that the Grand Jury ly.:d found
a true bill against certain parties, for a gross and
scandalous libel upon his character, and his motion
was, that he should receive notice of bail, and that
the parties should also be called upon to find bail.
The COMMON SertJEA.xr asked him who were the
parties, and what was the nature of the libel ?—Mr.
Hunt said, the indictment was against J. Stoddart
and E. Quin, Esqrs. and A. Mitchell, of the New
Times Daily Paper, for a scandalous libel upon his
character.

Mr. Common Serjeant asked, if they had had no-
tice of the bill having been preferred against them ?
—Mr. Hunt was not aware that they had.
The Common Seijeant then said, he would not
call upon them for bail on a Saturday night ; and
asked if the Gentlemen had been there during the
evening ?—No answer was given to this question.
Mr. Common Serjeant.—Mr. Clark, what is the
usual sum ? What is the sum, Mr. Hunt, you expect
them to be bound in?—Mr. Hunt.-1 have to move,
that they be held in recognizaaces of £4OO, and—
Mr. Common Serjeant.—The Court at present only
