usual, by the proper Officers of the Court. We never
saw his Lordship in better health or spirits. He
seemed peculiarly attentive to the very splendid im-
provements which have been made in the Hall dur-
ing the long vacation, and which unquestionably
render it one of the most elegant, commodious, and
advantageous Courts in the kingdom : indeed, to
those who have formerly seen its old appearance, the
vast improvements appear scarcely credible, espe-
cially in the very short period which has elapsed
since the last Sittings, and during which they have
taken place.—The motions before his Lordship were
of no public interest.
• The Vlca-CrtaNcELLoa also this day resumed his
Sittings, but there was nothing heard peculiarly wor-
thy of notice. There was a very full attendance of
Counsel and Solicitors in both Courts. .

He said his.own name was Jones.
Mr; Baron Wood summed up the evidence, and
the Jury, after a short deliberation, found the pri-
soner Guilty.; but very strongly recommended him to
mercy,
Thomas ArDerrnont was indicted for having ut-
tered a forged £1 note on the 20th of October, he
knowing the same to be forged.
William Bullock deposed, that he was shopman to
Mr. Senior, a linen-draper, in Great Portland-street,
Mary-la-bonne. On the day mentioned in the indict
ment, the prisoner came to his master's shop and
asked for some calico. He agreed to buy a remnant,
value Is. 9d. and offered a £1 note in payment for
it. The witness gave the note to Mr. Denbigh, the
brother. in-law of his master. Mr. Denbigh thought
it was a bad one, and took it to Mr. Senior, who was
up stairs. When the witness received the note he
asked the prisoner for his name ; the prisoner men.
tioned a name, but witness could not recollect. what;
it was only a word of one syllable, and it began with
aB. Ile said that he had taken the note about an
hour and a halt before from a servant of Lady Page
Turnei, on account of a debt which that Lady owed
him. When Mr. Senior and Mr. Denbigh came
down stairs, he repeated the same story. Mr. Senior
then proposed that the witness should accompany the
prisoner to No. 47, Harley-street,*where the prisoner
said Lady Page Turner liVed. The prisoner con-
sented to go, and on the way to Harley-street he fre-
quently asked the witness to give him the note, but
he would not alloiv it to go out of his possession.
NVlien they came to N 0.47, in Ilarley-street, the pri•
soner rang the bell and a man-servant came to the
door. The witness made him acquainted with the
cause of his visit, and asked him whether Lady Page
Turner lived there? The servant said that she did
not; he added, that she did live there two years ago.
The witness then asked the prisoner how he came to
say that he received the note there? The prisoner
replied, that he said he had received it in a letter
which was subscribed " 47, Harley-street." As they
were proceeding back to Mr. Senior's house, the pri-
soner seized the witness, and attempted to get the
note from him. He did not get it, and some pas-
sengers coming up, the prisoner was secured and
taken to Mr. Senior's house. When there, the priso-
ner said, that he had received the note from a man
named Paterson, who lived on the other side of West-
minster Bridge.
Mr. Denbigh and Mr. Senior confirmed all that
part of the last witneses statement which related 13
whet passed in the shop.
Plank, the officer, stated that he was sent for by
Hr. Senior to take the prisoner into custody. He
knew his name to be M-Dermont. He said that he
lived at No. 4, Reeve's Mews, but ott inquiry, that
statement turned out to be false.

Richard Glover proved that the note was forges:
After Mrs Justice FAUX had summed up the evi-
dence, one of the Jury said, that it was the wish of',
some of his colleagues, in finding the prisoner guilty,.'
to recommend him to mercy.
Mr. Justice PARE observed, that they must deter-'
mine that point amorg themselves, but intimated,
that if they should resolve to recommend the priso-
ner to mercy, they ought to state the grounds of their
recommendation. 'Unless the grounds were stated,
recommendations would not be received.

The Jury found the prisoner ,Ocilty, but recom-
mended him to mercy ou the ground thiit this was
his first offence.

Mr. Justice PARS saki, he would report their re-
commendation ; but there was no proof that this was
the prisoner's litst offence. He did not, however,
mean to say that it was not.

Ja:nrs licrrisen was charged with having uttered
a forged 1:1 note on the eth of October, be knowing
it to be forged.
It appcarai from the evidence, that psi the 9th of
October, the prisoner entered the shop
.of Thomas
Bulding, a haberdasher, living in Clipstone-street,
Fitzroy-square, and bought ksilk handkerchief, value
6s. in payment for which he gave Mrs. Bolding a
£1 note. When asked for his address, Mrs. Bolding
understood him to say that he lived at No. 5, Cock-
spur-street. Mr. Bolding thought the note was a
bad one, and went out to spewit to a neighbcur,
telling the risener that be was going fur change.
N'trhilst he was gone the prisoner left the shop with-
out the handkerchief, saying that he was going on
to Portland-place, and that he would call for the
change when he came back. Mr. Bolding returned
shortly after the prisoner had left the shop, and he
followed and overtook the pi isoner going towards
Portland-place. He brought the prisoner back to
his shop, who, upon hearing that Mrs. Bolding had
gone to No. 5, Cockspur-street, as the place of his
abode, said, that he bad not given that address, but,
No. I, Cannon-street, to which place he offered to
accompany Mr. Bolding.
Mr. Baron Woore summed up die evidence, and
pointed out to the Jury the facts which were favour-
able to the prisoner.
After a few minutes' consultation, the Jury re-
turned a verdict of Not

A few days ago, the Shuttle Coach, from Preston
to Halifax, was upset on its return into Yorkshire,
between Tadmorden and Burnley, owing to the linch-'
pin having come out; by which accident a person of
the name of Dunhill, of Merfield, the only passes-'
ger, was killed on the spot.
An accident of a most serious nature occurred at
Fetcham, between Leatherhead and Guildford, on the
night of Saturday last : 240 sheep were left in a field
by a farmer at that place, and the next morning no
less than 200 of them were discovered to be suffo-
cated, having been driven into a mud-hole in one
corner of the field by a drover's dog, which had, it
is supposed, kept them there all the night. The dogl
was secured : not one of the sheep were bitten.
