'This morning Mr Hail a pesilioa on behalf of:
Lord Ckaa'ley, praYidg ' • ester should eirpoint a, fit

mature (tow. Tbetest of Ike matter he cooceived to be
mush of course.
Mr. Dscuseavage,wera on the same side.
The Arroansv-eintinsi. was a good deal surprised at
this application; It came from Lord Grantley, who. although
he was trustee of the estate of this unfortunate NObleman,
we'll& a stranger In blood to the family ; and who was
not, et present, a person who had any thing to do with the
care of the person of lie Noble Earl; Mr. HeorfFellowes
wits aominated by the Master; why was-my Lord Grantley
to anticipate that every *lug which was right would not be
don* by Mr. Fellows'? This Petithse was unnecessary,
and therefore be must oppose it as goriest*.
Mr. WRTHIRILL and Mr. Pares followed em the same
side.
The Loeb Cnatscatitois ilk that he did not think this
petition was necessary, becainte it was the duty of the'Court
to take tare of the matter which was the subject oft?. lie
did riot Mak, ho rbr, that the [petitioa ought to be kcen-
sured, for he caul t forget that this unfortunate Nob/eines
was apreson wh d been in the world from the year 16119
until 103, as a person herbsg no care thrown around him,
although he had been for the whole of that time la want of
that care, he being, as it was now found by the ['razor tri-
bunal, a runarie, all that while; and that it was owing to
Lord Graidley *that protection had been thrown around the
person of that unfortunate Noble Earl. It was not the bu-
siness or the Cowl to appoint any to take care of the
Earl,
person or estate of the Noble that was the Master's
business ; 0 but (said his Lordship) 4 never will confirm the
appointment of any body to be a Committee or the person
of the Noble Lor I, unless there shall be a provision for pro-
per caret taken, taken, day sod night, and from hour to hour,
of the rt and hippiness of that unfortunate Noble
Feremi' mad, therefore, his Lordship decided that
Ibis .Waiter should: go back for the above purpose to
the Master; and altar hearing a general reply (root ,Mr.

his client for prOseating it; fur my Lord Granary,
h Alfas only anxious that due tare should be. taken of
thi unfortunate Nobleman.. His Lordship said, " I think
that, if I understood any thing, lamieritand this case toler-
ably well ; and my secretary, who has heard what I have
said upon it, will draw oat actorder accordingly, which I shall
olio as 1 shall fled necessary, with my own hand.• Ido Out
think it necessary to make any order on the petition of my
Lord Grinitley, although 1 do not blame him for presenting
_it; on the contrary, had it not beeps for the-efforts of Lord
Oreatley, I doubt whether this, Court would ever have had
any exercise of its jurisdiction In IMO matter; but that is
noir g'see by, and unless I mistake this case very much, 1
shall be able to provide that due care shall he thrown
around this Noble Lord, both with rrgard to his personal
happiness and toe memigement of his property."

GLOUCESTER LENT ASSIZES.
Before Mr. J v stlca Bor.

Daniel Prnnhtgion. aged 21, a young 11111f1 of respectable
appearance, was indicted for forging a bill of exchange for
lute/. . .
Robert Morris, Esq. examined by Mr. lannsew..—l am a
banker in this city. John and Thomas Turner are the only
partners with me. On the 28th September last the prisoner
same to oar hank. On coming in he offered a bill to be dis-
counted and produced one. (Witness here took the bill from
his pocket. end handed it to the Counsel.) I asked him
from whom he received it. He slid from his father. I told
him it was unusual to discount bills for strangers, and I
I asked him if he knew any body in Gloucester. He said he
did not. I then asked, from whence he came. Ile replied
from Oxford. 1 inquired what his father was. He said he
was an accountant at No. In, Charles-street, Hoxton, and
that his name was Osborne. I said it was quite unusual to
discount hills for strangers; however, from his respectable
appearance, and the appearance of the bill, I discounted it.
I gave him OW. as. Gd. the remainder 16s. Od. was deducted
for interest. I told him to indorse it, and he wrote upon it,
" D. Osborne, for G. Osborne, 10. Charles-street. Holton."
He said he was staying at the Bell. The bill was sent to
London, and it was returned. I went first to Hutton-
garden and then to Highgate. On the 18th . October 1
found the prisoner asleep at the Wellington Inn there.—
I stroke him and asked him Hite knew me. He Said lie
had seen meat Gloucester. I ask -el him where. He re-
plied at our Bank. I inquired for what purpose he came.
He said to have a bill discounted, and that I had dii.
counted it for hint. I then said, you knew the bill to be
forged. lie answered, he did not know it was forged.—
I said if you knew it was not forged, why did yon not
give me your own address. He said he had heard the
bill was bad that morning, and he was going to his friends
in Cumberland to get the er oney, to send it to Moines-
ter. He then protested be did not know the bill was
forged ; he said he had never seen it until hia father gave
it him to bring down to Gloucester. 1 again asked him
if he did not know it was forged, why he tesSumed a false
name, and given a false address. He said his father told
him to do so. He was io great agitation, hued into tears,
and begged of me to let him go. I told him I could not.
He said his father had been a clerk in Jones, Lloyd and
Co.'s bank for nineteen years, and if I went there I
should ascertain that to he the fact. I went there the
following merhing and fonnd that statement to be tree.
Ile nas searched in my presence, by an officer, and some
letters were taken by him; he gave me them the follow-
ing day.l marked tlieni,but i cannot say they are the same.
I believe they are.
The Learned J c nog decided they could not be received.
I inqnireal at two houses marked No. 10, Charles-square,
!inmost. and found no
.person of tier name of Osborne
living there. He was brought by Bishop to Gloucester.
I was present when be made a statement.
The prisoner stated he bad filled up the bill. Nothing
had been said to him to excite either hope or fear. He
said he hail written the hotly of the bill,-and that his fa-
ther had put the names to it. He waSpting to say some-
thing, but he was advised by some gentlemen present to
say no more.
Cross-examined.—When 1 saw him at Highgate lie did
not deny having seen toe hAire.
Mr. Andrew Dickey, examined by Mr. PHILLPOTB.

September last. The fu] was Messrs. Coutts and Co.
This acceptance in question (it being handed to bins)
was written " Messrs. Thomas Coutts and Co." Toe
ime "A. Di kty" upon it, is not my wrting. I
never acellt in nd ink. The tirnt was " Messrs. (Aunts ,
and Co.' (Witness here enumerated the names of the',
parties). Mrs. Comes has in interest in the concern,'
but has no influence in the arrangement of the bank.
