last, a forged note,parporting •to be a promissory note
for 1/. issued by Messrs. IYentworth,Chaloner, and Rich-

Mr. STattaia opened the case.for the prosecution, and
Thomas Mellor, who stated that he was, a shopkeeper
at Manchester, that in the evening of the Bth of March.
the prisoner came to his shop, and asked for a pair of
stockings ; witnsas's wife showed him a pair, which she

ing a good jud.,:e of notes, showed it to Witness, who
immediately pronounced it to be a forgery, and asked the
prisoner where be of it. Piisooer replied that be got
it in Yorkshire, and that be had none but that; witness
went out, taking the note with him, with a view to pro-
cure another York note to compare it with; and in his
absence the. prisoner ran away; next time witness saw
him he was in custody on a charge of uttering another

him she would send for a constable; but he forced his
way out and ran down the street; he was pursued by
witness's husband and several other persons,lnd secured.

given up to him by th. parties • and
Mr. Thomas Luckhurst, a parties;
in the York bank,
proved :hem to be forgeries.

GLOUCESTER ASSIZES —APRIL 5.
SEDUCING ARTIFICERS TO LEAVE THE KINGDOM.
THE KING. V. MANDY.
The defendant, a gentleman largely _concerned in the
Iron Works of Staffordshire, stood charged, on two in-
dictments, with enticing artisans in that branch of trade,
to leave the kingdom for France. Theie indictments
were removed by certiorari into the Court of King's
Bench, and by order of that Court, ,were sent down for
trial in this county, on a suggestion that impartial trials
could not be had in Staffordshire, where the causes of
vompleint were said to have arisen.
The first indictment being called LID for trial, a full
special jury appeared, and was sworn.
Mr. IVINTER stated the substance of the charge, and
Mr. Jervis then addressed th, ioev.
Mr. CAMPBELL mid that Mr."sl;nby, for whom he had
the honour to appear, was an individual of greet merit
and of high character. He had, in ignorance, broken
the law; and, whatever might be his opinion of its poll.
cv, he felt sorrow for having inadvertently violated any
of those provisions which he eas bound to obey; and
therefore thought that, by at once alloying the verdict
to pass against him, he should best show his regret for
the involuntary error in which lie had fallen into.
hlr.Justice -Barr said, that no question could arise on
the policy of the statute at the present trial. As the de-
f. udant submitted to a verdict, it was merely the duty of
the irtr- Oland it.
A
verdict of guilty was then taken and recorded.
A similar verdict was taken on the issue upon the
other charge.
It was, we believe, understood, that the defendant
would not be brought up for judgment.
