Candy, whose Only motive in making this false accusation
could have been, the trifling sum of ss. on conviction of the
offender and the poor sailor was committed for one month
to prison, to he kept to hard labour. In conwquenee of the
accut•ed persisting in his innocence of the fact alleged, and

the chief constable of this office. -Mr. White, on obtaining
tie above depositions, laid them before the Secretary of
State on Standey morning. Owen Williams was set at liberty
fom his co alinement in Tothill-fields Prison. Condy,
