MOST IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL OF LIEUT. MASTERS,
H. P. LATE OF THE ROYAL NEWFOUNDLAND VETERAN
COMPANIES.

(CERTIFICATE.)

St. John's,Neufoundland,

12/h March, 1838.

Conformably to a Garrison Order, dated 9th March, 1838,
for the assembly of a Medical Board, to take into considera-
tion the state of health of Lieut. Masters, R.V.C., and to
report accordingly. We, the undersigned, Staff Officer and
Civil Practitioner; forming the board authorised by that
order, after a strict examination of the case of Lieutenant
Masters, consider him as entirely unfit for military duty.—
Lieutenant Masters has for several years been afflicted with
Rheumatic Gout, which has produced serious functionary
derangements of his stomach, liver, and other viscera, and
finally given rise to infirmity, weakness, and enlargement of
the articulations, especially of the ancle joints ; his general
health and constitution is much impaired, and, therefore, in
our opinion, he is incapable of further service.

LETTER OF LIEUT. MASTERS TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND,
LONDON.

Hawley, near Bagshot, 14th Jan., 1840.
SlR,—Considering that the public would be greatly bene-
fited by the publication of the extraordinary benefit which I
have derived by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I
herewith send the particulars of my case, and the Medical
Certificate, by which I was invalided. I was first attacked
with Rheumatic Gout in 1826, from which period to 1833 I
was under the treatment of the late Drs. Rod, Horner. and
Jacobs, as well as by the present Dr. Davis, all of Hamp-
stead. From 1833 to 1838 I was at St. John's, Newfound-
land, doing duty as a Subaltern in the Royal Veteran Com-
panies, where I suffered most severely., and was under the
care of Surgeon Hewson, R.V.C., Staff Assistant-Surgeon
Ferguson, and Mr. Shea, private practitioner there, without
being able to prevent the most violent fits of the gout three
or four times annually, which becoming so bad caused the
Garrison Order for the Medical Order, as before named.
About the middle of last February and the whole of March
my sufferings were dreadful ; in fact, I was unable to move
without being carried ; when Major Birch, of Crondale, near
Farnham, a magistrate of this county, kindly commisserating
my situation, called on me for the purpose of taking my affi-
davit, that I might receive my half-pay ; and seeing me in
so miserable a state, advised me to try Blair's Gout and
Rheumatic Pills, saying, although not gouty himself, he knew
several who had derived benefit from them. I had previously
been advised by a then neighbour, Mr. Fedgent, of Aldershot,
to try them, but I declined until the Major recommended
them. I commenced by taking them according to the direc-
tions ; and, after taking six pills, found a cessation of all
pain, and the remainder of the box effectually settled that fit.
I have since had several attacks, but as soon as I feel the
least sensation of the disease I take the pills, which have at
once removed all symptoms. I may also mention that the
chalk which had formed on my ears has disappeared, and
where it formed in my fingers is decreasing. I have ceased
to have those very weakening perspirations to which I was
subject before trying the pills.
Were you to print my case, and appoint an Agent in St.
John's, Newfoundland, where my sufferings were known,
and where there are so many afflicted with Rheumatic Gout,
you will vastly increase the sale of this valuable Medicine.
I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, •

THE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or
NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of
the present day, and more particularly in those of the past
century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence
in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi.:
tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con-
stitution, are doomed to the dais of habitual invalids. Their
minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, and their bodies
weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously,
with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange-
ment, the celebrated
CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM
will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan-
guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse-
verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving
many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per-
manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in
all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom-
mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age,
habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have
fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing
train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS.
In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the
corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with-
out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.
Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an
immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their
constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorealis ; or, in
their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady,
the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray
its approach, as the various affections of pie nervous system,
obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu-
larity, weakness, total impotency, bat-eeriness. &c. But
the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge-
nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the
latitudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents
the inheritance of a diseased and unprolific frame—the deli-
cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together
with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery
aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the
calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and are, with-
out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave ! Such
as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sy-
riaeum will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of
life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and
smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives
that proper tensity which a good digestion requires„w
To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and
spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and
infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by
gently and safely invigorating the system. It will not 'give
immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the
autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract
the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is
capable of effecting this grand desideratum.
The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In-
dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and
acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions,
arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates.
The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community
should•never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacum,
which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind,
improves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

CHARGES OF FELONIOUSLY 'UTTERING FORGED NOTES, &C.
Owen Sherry, a miserable sickly-looking individual, aged
4G, was charged in several counts of an indictment with hav-
ing, in this town, in September last, feloniously uttered a
note, purporting to be a £lO Bank of England note, a note
purporting to be a £5 Bank of England note, and, at other
times, two, other notes similar to the last, with intent to de-
fraud the governor and company of the Bank of England,
with intent to defraud Robert M`Laughlin, &c.
Mr. CRESSWELL and Mr. ADOLPHUS conducted the pro-
secution; the prisoner was undefended.
Robert M`Laughlin stated that he was a publican, residing
in King-street, in this town. He had known the prisoner
since April, 1836. In September last the prisoner owed him
£3 18s. On the 16th September the prisoner called upon
him, and he took the opportunity of asking him for the
whole or a portion of his accqunt. The prisoner at first said
.he.was out'of a situation and very badly off, but on being
' told that it was time the account was paid, he pulled out a
pocket-book and took therefrom a £lO note, requesting to
have change for that. Mr. NE' Laughlin looked at the note,
and told the prisoner that he did not like the look of it, he,
.thought it -was a had one. The priSoner told 'hini if he,did
not like it he might • return it and he would 'give Mr.
•M`Laughlin two sovereigns: Mr. M`Laughlin said that
would not do. He called in- a person named Landin who,
by his direction, made two copies of the note. M'Laughlin
marked the note with his own initials and kept it without
giving the prisoner anything for it. It was subsequently
discovered to be a forgery, and witness -delivered it to con-
stable Ainsworth. The prisoner was sought for at the address •
which he had given in Bird-street, but he could not be found.
Ellen Farriday stated that she kept a public-house at the
bottom of Stewart-street in this town. She had known the
. .

prisoner eight or nine years. On the 15th July last he called
at her house and purchased a barrel of new ale, the price
of which ivas £1 ss. He gave her a five pound note, and
she gave him £2.. He did not call again for the balance.
She gave the note to her daughter to get change before the
prisoner left the house. The change was brought before he
left the house, but as she was very unwell at the time she did
not receive it. The change was obtained from a person
named Dingle, and in the evening- the latter discovered that
it was a forgery. in consequence, she had to refund the
money. Her mother afterwards gave this note to a consta-
ble. This witness identified this note as Mr. M`Laug,hlin
had done in the preceding instance.
Mrs. Farriday's daughter proved that she had changed the
note at Mr. Dingle's and marked it at his request.
Henry Dingle corroborated the testimony of the last
witness.

Mrs. Sarah Ashton, wife of Johu Ashton; publican, Marl-
borough-street, stated, that on the 29th July last the prison-
er called at her house and asked for two glasses of ale. She
served him and he left a glass of ale for her husband. ,She did-
not know him but mistook him for another man. Before he
departed he asked her if she would give him change for a £5
note. She replied yes, if it' were a good one. He produced
a note and she sent it up to her husband by the servant. The
girl brought the note back and said that the assistant of Mr.
Holmes, the grocer, to whom she
.had been to inquire, had
pronounced it a very good:note, upon which she gave him
change without hesitation. He departed. She put the note
in the drawer, and it was afterwards taken to the drawer where
they kept their money. They had not another £5 note in
the house.

Mr. Ashton proved that he had offered the note to 'Mr.
Ackers, the brewer, who rejected it. He took it home, locked
it up, and afterwards marked it, and gave it to Mr. Ains-
worth.

'William Gillon, assistant to Joseph M'Curdy, who keeps a
public house in Burlington-street, stated that he had known
the prisoner 12 months. When he first knew him he was a
solicitor to a porter brewer. On the lath July, the prison-
er called at M'Curdy's, and stated that he had called to pay
16s which he owed him. He told John M'Curdy, Mr.
M'Curdy's father, that if he would change him a £5 bill he
would pay him. They could not change the bill, but witness
said perhaps they could get change. The servant was dis-
patched for change, which she brought back, and it was given
to the prisoner. Subseequently Mr. Morris, from whom the
change was procured, took_ it back to Mr. M'Curdy's, and
said it was a forgery.
James Ainsworth, a constable of this town, stated that on
the 23d Sept. last, he apprehended the prisoner, of whom he
had been in search since the 27th July. He found him in a
back house in Gradwell-street. He asked him his name, and
he said it was Sherry ; he searched him. On seeing this
proceeding, the mistress of the house called out " Oh my
God, what is this ?" Mrs. Sherry said, " It's about them
things." The mistress of the house said " What things? "
Mrs. Sherry said, " Those notes which I found and gave to
him." The prisoner without any remark having been made
by Ainsworth said, " I am innocent ; my wife found them.
and gave them to me." Ainsworth asked him some
questions, and he said he had heard that some noise had
been made about the notes, and he- had gone out of the
way. He had burned two of them after he heard that they
were bad.

Joshua Freeman, inspector of bank notes for the bank of
England, had the notes in question submitted to him, and he
proved that they were forged in paper, plate, signature, and
every other respect.
This was the case for the prosecution.
The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, said he
did not know that the notes were forged. All fie knew of
them was, that his wife found them, and gave them to him.
The learned JUDGE put all the circumstances to the jury,
urging upon their attention the consideration of those cir-
cumstances as they related to the defence which he had set
up. His lordship considered his exclamation when appre-
hended was perfectly natural, even supposing the prisoner
to be innocent, which he would be if the jury believed that
he had not known they were forged up to the time of utter-
ing.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended hint
to mercy on account of his age and infirmity. It was stated
that he had been ill a long time, and, in reply to a question
from the judge, the prisoner said he had two.children.
The JUDGE, after expatiating on the enormity of the of-
fence, which was formerly punishable with death, said he was
inclined, under all the circumstances to listen to the recom-
mendation to mercy. The prisoner was sentenced to two
years' imprisonment and hard labour at Kirkdale.

A..
T a PUBLIC MEETING of SHIPMASTERS, MER-
CHANTS, and OTHERS, held at the Clarendon-
rooms, Liverpool, March 28th, 1840.

Lieut. E'NGLEDUE, in the Chair,
the following Resolutions were proposed and carried

ROBBERY BY A HOUSE SERVANT.
Bridget Cromer alias Carver, was indicted for having
stolen property, consisting of wearing apparel, flour, tea,
sugar, &c., belonging to her master, Hugh Hughes, of aigh,
and a lead pipe, the property of the Earl of Balcarras.
Mr. Hot.ro:sr conducted the prosecution.
It appeared that on the 26th of February last, two game-
keepers, in the service of the Earl of Balcarras, were on their
rounds, when they saw the prisoner concealing something in
the plantation. She departed, and they went to see what
she had left. They found a bundle containing a quantity of
articles of household stuff, &c. They went and informed
Mrs. Hughes, and she went to the plantation, and found that
the bundle contained property of hers, part of which she had
previously missed. The prisoner was under notice to quit,
and was to have left on the day when the articles were found.
The goods purloined were not of much value.
Mrs. Hughes, in reply to questions from his lordship, said
she had left her tea, sugar. &c., unlocked. His lordship
said there was nothing which servants were so much in the
habit of purloining as tea and coffee, and the practice of leaving
such articles in their way was very reprehensible, as it put
temptation in their way.
The prisoner stated that she had taken out a warrant
against her mistress for striking her, hut it turned out that
this was after the discovery of the bundle. Mrs. Hughes
was fined for the assault, and the prisoner was committed for
trial by the magistrates for the robbery.
The jury found the prisoner guilty . His lordship said if
he had found that the prisoner had picked or broken a lock,
he should have transported her, as the offence of theft by a
servant was worse than by any other class of persons. It
appeared, however, that temptation had been placed in the
way. She was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and
hard labour at Kirkdale.

Moved by Lieut. FAYRER, R.N., seconded by Captain
BEAZLEY,

That it is highly desirable that an Association be formed
for the following purposes :—ln the first place, to establish
a Captain's Reading and Coffee Room ; secondly, to endea-
vour to correct various abuses, particularly the present
systemipractised at the Shipping-offices; thirdly, to endeavour
to increase the present existing Marine :Society's Funds for
the benefit of Widows and Children of Shipmasters.
Moved by H. Row Err, Esq., seconded by Lieut PAasoNs,
R.N.

HAVING POSSESSION OF BASE COIN.
William Humphreys, aged 34, and Ann Humphreys, a
female who has cohabited with him, but who is not legally
his wife, were charged with a misdemeanor, in having, at
Manchester, on the 28th January last, passed a bad half-
crown, and with having had in their possession part of a
mould for coining shillings.
Mr. Sergeant MTH ERLEY and Mr. PERRY conducted the
prosecution, and Mr. WILKINS defended.
The male prisoner went, on the 28th January last, to the
house of Mr. Chorlton, who keeps the Bay Horse, in Man-
chester, and having asked for a glass of rum, gave the girl
half-a-crown, and asked for change. The girl took the half-
crown to her master, who pronounced it a bad one. Infor-
mation was given to the police, and officers were sent, at two
o'clock in the morning, to the house of Humphreys, in Ma-
gus'-buildings. Ann Humphreys opened the door. On the
premises were found eight counterfeit shillings, a quantity of
plaster of Paris, two tobacco pipes, and part of a mould. On
cross-examination by Mr. Wilkins, it came out that a man
named Thornley had directed the officers to go to the fire-
place, in Humphreys' house, where they would find some
bad money. The Attorney-general re-examined on this
point, and it appeared that Thornley said he had seen Hum-
phreys change a good shilling, which a neighbour had placed
upon her chimney-piece for a bad one. As it turned out that
all the information had come from Thornley ; that Thornley,
who was a bail character, could not he found in tli; place
where he stated he lived ; and that the implements found
were so concealed that the prisoners might have lived long
in the house withont knowing of them, the Attorney-general
declined to press the case, and a verdict of acquittal was
taken.

That the Liverpool Shipmasters'Association be now formed.,
and a Provisional Committee, consisting of the following gen-
tlemen, be appointed to receive subscriptions, and to draw up
Rules for the Government of the Association, to be presented
for approval to a General Meeting of Subscribers, at which a
Committee of Management shall be appointed :
Lieut. Engledue, R.N. Captain Head,
H. Chapman, Esq. Lieut. Fayrer, R.N.
W. H. Moore, Esq. Captain Pinder.
H. Rowett, Esq.
Moved by ESKELBY, Esq., seconded by Captain
HEAD,
That a Subscription List be now opened, the amount of
Subscription for the first year to be One Pound for Residents,
and for Shipmasters Five Shillings. The year to be consider-
ed as commencing from the day of opening the Reading
Rooms.
Moved by Capt. BEAZLEY, seconded by Capt. FAY RER,
'That Mr. Revis, Correspondent to the London Shipping
and Mercantile Gazette, be requested to act as Honorary
Secretary to the Association.
Lieut. ENGLEDUE having left the Chair,
Moved by Mr. REvis, seconded by Lieut. PARSONS,
That a Vote of Thanks be given to Lieut. Engledue for his
able and impartial conduct in the Chair, and to W. Potter,
Esq., Chairman of the Shipowners Association, for his at-
tendance and valuable information he had afforded to the
Meeting.

Mr. WILKINS said, that Thornley hail been permitted by
Humphreys to sit by the fireside in his house, and the result
of this hospitable treatment was, that he was surprised at two
o'clock in the morning by a visit from the officers and police.

HORSE STEALING.

Thomas Ball, aged 23,- pleaded guilty to having stolen a
bay mare, the property of Thomas Hewitt, and a gelding, the
property of Thomas Allansom. Sentence deferred.

The receipts on Tuesday night at Covent-garden Theatre
exceeded £6OO.

POLYGAMY.

William Taylor Wellock, a handsome, respectable looking
young man, aged 25, was charged with haring, at Darenham,
feloniously marriedjElizabeth Stanley, his former wife being

The Monifeur AlOrien of the 13th instant publishes a de-
cree of Marshal Vallee, dated Algiers, 9th instant, declaring
in a state of siege the districts of Bouffarik, Hamise, and
Philippeville.
The late Earl of Stair is succeeded in the earldom, having
died without issue, by his cousin, Lieutenant-General Sir
John Hamilton Dalrymple Bart., now Earl of Stair. His
lordship is married to the 'Hon. A. Duncan, sister to Lord
Camperdown, but has no issue.
Major-General Elphinstone, C. 8., has been appointed se-
cond in command in the Bengal presidency.
The Earl of Minto and the Board of Admiralty have or-
dered the establishment of workmen in the dock-yard at
Chatham to be increased considerably—the shipwrights from
400 to 500, and other trades in proportion; and 169 men are
also to be hired during the summer months, to repair the
buildings, &c., in the yard, so that the men on the establish-
ment may be wholly employed in the building and repair of
ships.

Air. BRANDT prosecuted, and Mr. WILKINS defeaded.
The marriage of the prisoner with Jane Booth, the first
wife; on the 27th December, 1836, was proved by her bro-
ther. The second marriage, to Elizabeth Stanley, was prov-
ed by her father. Elizabeth Stanley was about twenty years
old, and was at service in Manchester, when the prisoner met
with her. He took her home to her father's house, and re-
presented that he had married her. This her father would
not believe, and they were married at his request. The pri-
soner, when apprehended, admitted the offence. The jury
immediately found him guilty. He was sentenced to impri-
sonment and hard labour for one year.
Thomas Nall, aged 50, was charged with having, at Liver-
pool, feloniously married Mary Brandon, his former wife
being still alive.
M,r. MURPHY conducted the prosecution.
It was proved, in evidence that on the 23d January, 1828,
the prisoner was married at St. Philip's Church in this town
(Liverpool) to Elizabeth Dawson, by the Rev. Mr. Bowstead,
and that on the 16th December last he was married to Mary
Brandon at the same church. He represented to the latter
that he was a widower, and took her to St. John's Church-
yard in this town (Liverpool,) and showed her a grave-stone
on which was the name of Elizabeth Law, who he said was
his first wife.

The prisoner, a remarkably ill-favoured old man, said that
the second wife, a very pretty young woman, had been always
following him and teasing him till she inveigled him into
marriage. He told a long and not very decent story of the
progress of their amours, the only object of which appeared
to be to wound the feelings of the young woman who was
present. The learned Judge called her up a second time,
and she denied all his statements. •

The Jury found the prisoner guilty.
His LORDSHIP said he would not punish the prisoner for
the heartless defence which he had set up, but his offence was
greater than usual in such cases, from the great artifice which
he had used in showing the grave of his first wife (he bad
been married twice,) and thereby deceiving the young woman
whom he had injured while he pretended to satisfy her
scruples.
He was sentenced to seven years' transportation.
BREAKING AND ENTERING A SHOP AND STEALING
TH Alfred Richardson, aged 21 LREIN.,
was charged with having on
the 19th of March instant, in this town (Liverpool,) feloni-
ously broken and entered the shop of Mr. Thomas Richard-
son, cutler, Church-street, and stolen therein a number of
articles of cutlery, the property of the aforesaid Mr.
Richardson. •
• Mr MURPHY conducted the prosecution, and Dr. BROWN
the defence. . • -
Mr. MURPHY, at the outset of the case, stated that it was

'4*

rendered mere than usually painful from the circumstance of
one of the prosecutors being, the father and the Other the
brother of the prisoner.
A police-officer named Archer, was on duty in Church-
street, on the morning of the 18th insiant, about two o'clock.
As he was passing Mr. Richardson's shop he heard a crack
like the noise produced by lighting a lucifer match. He lis-
tened, and the sound was repeated, and he discerned a faint
gleam through the fanlight above the door. He was called
away for a short time. lie returned with another officer,
and then sent for Mr. Richardson, who opened the shop
door. They proceeded to search the premises, and found the
prisoner in a privy which opened from the back yard. lie
had a large quantity of property with hint which had been
taken from Mr. Richardson's shop. It consisted of knives,
razors, gold and silver pencil cases, scissors, surgical instru-
ments, &c., value about .C3O. The prisoner appeared to have
got in through the grid leading to the coal cellar, she staple
securing which had been forced out. The prisoner had also
taken twenty-one shillings in silver, which Mr. Richardson
had left in the shop.
Mr. Richardson, Jun., stated that when the prisoner was
taken, he asked him how he came to rob him, who always
behaved so well to him ? He replied that he had been driven
to it by the neglect of his relations. He was in a starving
condition.' Mr. Richardson added that the prisoner was un-
doubtedly in a wretched condition, from having kept away
from his family.
The Jury found the prisoner guilty.
Mr. Richardson, jnn. was recalled by the Judge.—He
stated that the prisoner was 21 years of age. He had, when
young, preferred going to sea to remaining at business. He
(Mr. Richardson) had since employed him. Mr. Richard-
son, with tears in his eyes, said he would willingly take the
prisoner again into his service, if a lenient sentence were
passed upon him.
The learned JUDGE, in a very feeling address, intimated to
the prisoner that he foraore to transport the prisoner solely
in consideration of the brotherly offer of Mr. Richardson,
jun.
The prisoner was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment
and bard labour at Kirkdale, the first and last weeks to be
spent in solitary confinement.
CHARGE OF HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Richard Chadwick, aged 25, William Winter, aged 20.
and William Lawton, aged 21, were indicted for having, on
the 15th of May last, at Ince-in-Mackerfield, assaulted John
Taylor, and robbed him of his watch and appendages and
what money he had about him. The prisoners, Winter and
Lawton, are soldiers who, in May last, were quartered at
Wigan.
Mr. Brandt conducted the prosecution. The prisoners
were not defended.
Taylor stated that. about one o'clock on lee morning of the
15th of May, 1839, he was going home from Wigan to
Apsall, when he was joined by the three prisoners. They
asked him to join them in a pint of ale. Winter and Law-
ton were in their soldiers clothes, and Chadwick in plain
clothes. He did not like their company, and after having
called at a public-house to try to get some drink, he left them
at Rose Bridge, and went along the canal. He ran, and the
prisoner Chadwick pursued him and knocked him down, and
pulled out his watch, and afterwards thrust his hand into his
pocket and took out half-a-crown and a shilling. On his ex-
amination before the magistrates Taylor had stated that he
could not swear to the man who took his money. He had
not seen Chadwick from the time when he was robbed till
December last. His lordship questioned him at considerable
length on this point, but he varied so much in his answers,
and appeared undecided on the point, that the judge said
there was no dependence to be placed upon this part of his
testimony.

Richard Culshaw, the keeper of a beer-house, proved that
on the morning in question the prisoners and Taylor called
at his house, and asked for some drink. Two other witnesses
deposed to having seen Chadwick on that morning in :orn-
pany with two soldiers, near the place where the robbery was
committed.

The learned JUDGE said, there was no evidence against the
soldiers, and they were removed from the bar.
Chadwick, in his defence, admitted that he had been at
Culshaw's house, where he had seen two soldiers, but he
knew nothing whatever of the robbery.
The Jury at once acquitted the two soldiers. They could
not agree as to Chadwick, and retired at twenty minutes past
four-o'clock. They returned in a quarter of an hour, and
gave in a verdict of Guilty against Chadwick. Sentence de-
ferred.

STEALING A COW, &C.

Thomas Plimpton was charged with having, on the 22d
Oct. last, stolen a cow and two heifers, the property of Geo.
Mounsey.
Dr. BROWN appeared for the prosecution.
It appeared from the evidence, that on the 22nd October
last, Mr. Mounsey and another person were driving a cow,
two heifers, and a flock of sheep from Liverpool to Man-
chester. The cow and heifers were the property of Mr.
Mounsey. At Woolston they met the prisoner, who under-
took to drive forward the cattle and sheep towards Manches-
ter, while Mr. Mounsey and his companion breakfasted. He
took the animals forward, Ps requested, but left the sheep in
the road, about 250 yards from the house where he had left
Mr. Mounsey. It turned out, afterwards, that the prisoner
had driven the cow and heifers on to Manchester, and sold
them to a Mr. Hargreaves for eight pounds. They were
afterwards returned to Mr. Mounsey. The latter had given
.£l2 12s. for them. Mr. Hargreaves said, after they had
been at his farm, they were worth £t.:4 more than before. The
prisoner, when apprehended, told the constable that he had
sold the cattle for £lB, and had been robbed of the money.
The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to imprison-
ment for one year.

SENTENCES OF PRISONERS

The following sentences were passed upon the prisoners
convicted on Thursday.
John Mack, found guilty of having unlawful possession
of a mould for coining, was sentenced to fifteen years trans-
portation.

- George Bath, for uttering base coin, having a previous
conviction against him, was sentenced to seven years trans,.
portation. _ _

William Johnson and Jane Broadbent for uttering base

and hard labour at Lancaster Castle, and the latter to six
months imprisonment at Kirkdale Gaol.

tain moulds for coining, was sentenced to ten years trans-
portation.
