toner sad tit wife lived with Mrs. Callendar. Nis

was confined about 12 months ago. Knows it
about that time. Attended the christening.
Ann Franks repeatedly since, and is sure she was
Confined either in September or the preaent month (
tober) of this year. Franks can write. Has seen hi
write on a sheet of paper, but not sufficiently so as
be enabled to prove his handwriting. Mrs. Calleno►
has another daughter, named Mary Easterbrook. Knows
her well and her writing—(noteisanded); the sign Attrret
his not her writing; knows her husband, FeterEaster%
brook; knows his writing. but not sufficiently to be en-
allied to swear to it, but quite sufficiently to be en'abierl
to swear positively that the signature now produced i
not his, nor at all like his wining ;both those person
have been absent from Exeter many years; Mary, sin
June 1810, until last Saturday ; and Peter, the last 1
years. On his crosstlaminatirn he denied having a
ill feeling toward the prisoner ; had never said he wodt4
endeavour to hang him, or that he wished him hanged.
They were at variance at the time he married his II ife's
sister ; if he related the cause, it would lead to other
matters; that was six or seven years ago; at two years
from that time they were reconciled, and had continued
friendly since, until this transaction.
Harriett Tootell is wife of John Tootell.—Mary
Easterbrook and Ann Franks are her sisters; knows
their writing well; the signatures on the notes now
handed her are not of their writing.
Elizabeth Callender was the mother-in-law of the
prisoner; he married her daughter Ann; they lived with
her ; she had interest notes, drawn in the names of her
three daughters, whose property, on a certain event it
was to become ; at present the notes were her proper ty ;
they were kept in a box locked ; and in a room to which
the prisoner and his wife had free and unreserved access
as well as herself; she had recently, about the later days
of September, seen them there, and was not away, of
her loss until the day on which the prisoner was taken
into custody; the box, to look at, presented the same
appearance as before, but on closer inspection, it was
found the hinkcs had been forced, the points of the nails
having fallen down on the inside of the box; the whole
of her interest notes were gone ; the signature, Ann
Franks, to the receipt for the year's interest, 11. 16s.
was the writing of her daughter. It was done by her
authority. Could not now recollect whether she sent
her, or accompanied her to the bank ; but is certain she
ultimately received the money. Her daughter, Easter-
brook, was not aware, nor was her husband, hat such
a note was in existence. until this transaction made it
. wn. Knows the writing of the whole of the parties;
the signatures now shewn her are not theirs. This
witness was also cross-examined, but nothing was eli-
lted to invalidate her testimony in chief.
Mr. Otos/mum took a variety of objections, the first
of which he thought so strong, that it must prove fatal
to the indictment. He believed it to be an invariable
rule of law in cases of this kind, that the alleged forged
last r ument should be set forth in all its pacts in the in-
dictment; in this case he observed a writing on the
back of the note, beside the endorsernent,which he could,
and others had very easily made out to be, " Mary ,
Easterbrook;" this was wholly omitted in the indict-
illeiet, and he submitted was fatal to any forther'pro-
tnedings. The other objection of the Counsel, which,
with the former, and followed by Mr. Freed, were con-
tended for at considerable length, went to the effect
that the proof of forgery, amfecting the prisoner, was
ifor not complete.
Mr. COLIIIIDGE, followed by Mr. OINAU, replied
briefly.
The'Covar gave full credit to the Learned Counsel
their exertions in behalf of the prisoner; they were
such as the Court would have expected from them, and
did them honour; but at the sametime felt hound to
say, that they had no weight whatever. There was
quite sufficient to go to the Jury, and with them the
question Innstbe left.
William Howard, the officer who apprehended the
prisoner, was called to prove the time and state Of in-'
toxication he found him in. Howard believed it to be
about 11*o'clock, and that he colfsidered him tipsy, but
Doi 'so as not to know what he said to him.

Mr. R. R. Sanders spoke from the bench: he saw the
prisoner within a few minutes of his being taken into
custody by Howard, and he appeared to him (Mr. San-
ders) so very much intoxicated, that he recommended
the Magistrates to suspend the examination until the
following day.
Mr. Street, surgeon, and Mr. Pickett, deposed to
character.

Mrs. Spreat thought the prisoner rather tipsy when he
came to her house about ten on the morning of the 4tb,
but appeared to know what he was about.
The RECORDER summed up.
The Jury, alter a few moments' consideration, and at
about seven o'clock returned a verdict of Guilty,
The COURT saw no necessity for ptoceeding on the
other two indictments.

Mr. COLZRLOGR rose, and in the name of all the
parties concerned in the prosecution, recommended the
prisoner to the merciful consideration of the Court.
RECORDER have no discretion as to what my duty
must be now. William Frawks, you have been con-
victed on evidence verb• satisfactory to my mind of
the crime of forgery. I confess that in your case
there are many circumstances that convince me you
have committed a most dt liberate act: you commenced
your crime w ith an act of felony in breaking the
box and stealing the property of your aged relative, and
until your career was stopped, persevered in your at-
tempts to appropriate to your own use the savings ot,
probably, her whole life. It only remains for me to
finish my painful task by sentencing you to be hanged
by the neck until you are dead, and may GOD have
mercy on your soul.

The Coon. met this (Wednesday) morning at 9 o'clock.

Yesterday morning the son of Mr. GERRARD, of Rat.
cliff Highway, a youth about 18 years of age, accom-
panied by another young man, took a boat for the
porpose of going to Greenwich, bet, in passing the
Thames Police Office, through their unskilful manage-
ment of the boat, it upset, and young Gerrard sunk to
rise no mure. His companion was fortunately rescued
by a waterman.

Yesterday evening an inquisition was taken at St.
George's workhouse, before T. &inmost, Esq. on the
body of James M'Cleerwp-who was found on Wednes-
day night last, in a dying state* Kent Street, Bcrough.
A great quantity of evidence was heard, from which it
appeared that the deceased was taken to the house of
Mrs. Driscoll in the above street. on Monday night last,
in an apparently dying state ; th4t he was kept in the
house two nights, during which no medical assistance
was called in ; and that on the Wednesday night, about
ten o'clock, he was taken from his bed, by order of Mrs.
Dsi.coll, and in nearly kstate of nudity, placed on the
stones in the carriage way. On being discovered, he
was taken to the workhouse, where he expired a few
minutes after his admission. The inquest was adjourn-
ed till- Tuesday evening at seven o'clock, for the im-
pose of having the body opened.
