a Power of Attorney, with intent to defraud J
Kennell and John Pratt Kennel!. There are tLit
other charges against him. The prisoner was Lai,
cuffed, and conducted himself most incnheready
obstreperously—so much so, that it was found nects
sary for him to be held by Mr. Hardy, and Da-

one of the keepers. He endeavoured to leap fn
dock, and stared wildly at all present.
Previous to the ►ndictment being read, Mr Au.
stated that he was instructed to say, that -.ha priute
had been insane for several months, and thatk.
Box, the Surgeon of Newgite, and other Me.ht.l
Men, were prepared to prove his insanity ; and ma
a Jury ought to be impannelled to try whether 'a
was sane or not.—After some conversation bevies
Mr. Attar and Mr. RZYNOLD'S, the latter Gentle=
consented t. the trial being put off until the nest bes.
sions, by which time the state of his mind mak Le
ascertained.

he took liberties with her, threw her down, a/L.lsra*
accomplished his purpose.—She underwent a sense
cross-examination by Mr. ADOLPHUS, in the core
of which she ads-bias:l that the did not cry oat sits
he first took liberties with her.—On the part of tle
prisoner, two watchmen, who were on duty on tie
spot, stated most decidedly that they heard no act t
on the night in question, and one of them stated C.:
he was so situated, that if a child had cried he is: t
have heard it.—The Jury acquitted the Privets,
without putting Mr. Baron Gams.tse to the tron:_e
of summing up the evidence.
