which Ann Rummer chose a piece of print for an apron,
and Trindle said she should like apiece of the same; four
yards were cut, 41. Ann Rummer took the note from her
• person, and gave it to Trindle : witness put the note up-
stairs in a tea-chest, where she keeps her money; there
was a Yarmouth 5/. note in it, and no other; on the fol-
lowing Saturday paid it to Mr. Salmon, draper, Yee-

by direction of Mr. Hudson, and got the note bark;

Mrs. Seago--she purchased some goods, and paid a one-
pound note of the Crown Bank. On the 6th Auzuct
she came for the note, which was given her—is positive
it was the same note be received on the Saturday.
John Sharpe, clerk at Harvey's and Hullsons.—in the I
month of July they had a large quantity of 11. in notes
in circulation.--(Note shown to witness.) It is decidedly
a I wired note—the stritop and signature are forged.
Another note handed—decidedly forged—the notes are
alike—should not take them himsel—where te good
note of that number was cannot sayf. The notes have
been paid he believes.
By the Judge.—Notes have not been paid as baring
el dm, but in order that the credit of the Bonk should not
be t iken away. -
Mr. Henry Cooper, on the part of the prisoner Triadic.,
submitted that Mr. Sharpe 's testimony was not sufficient;
it was not the best evidence that the note had been paid.
id f. Hudson, whose name was at the bottom of the note,
should have been call-d as as a witness to prove it was a
forgery ; he *amid have been good evideno, as the note,
having bees paid, his interest was gone.
His Lordship over-ruled the objection.
Rummer, on being called on for her
'defence, said she
did rot know the notes were forged.
. Trindle made no defence.
Drury said be had met the two other prisoners by acci-
dent going towards Agile ; that they bad induced him to
go with them to Martha's Fair, and that the note he paid
away at Acle was good to the best of his knowledge.
Hie Lordship then summed up the evidence, and the
Jury, after having deliberated a short time, wished to
hive whether any more notes were found on the prison-
ers, but no evidence was offered to that effect, and after
mune further deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of
Guilty against all the prisoners.
The pr.isecntor immediately recommended them to
mercy, on the ground that they were only instruments in
the hands of others, and induced to utter the notes from
the great hopes of gain held out to them. Third ury con-
curred in the recommendation, and his Lordship said it
shoold certainly be attended to.
Peter Cannel- wag indicted for a similar offence with
those of the last prisoners, but the Counsel for the prose-
cution having failed to prove the first part of the case, it
was alt induned, and the prisoner acquitted.
DIGAMT.—JoIin Longworth was indicted for bigamy.
It appeared that the prisoner bad married a woman in
Lancashire, and bed several children. Having been a
soldier be was on the recruiting service into NOefolic,
where, having a child by a young woman, he was in-
duced, by her grief, to marry her. Subsequently he re-
turned to his first wife and family, where the parish offi-
cers found hint living comfortably, and working hard
fur their maintenance. He had an excellent character,
and though found guilty was discharged, on entering
into a recognizance to receive judgment when called
upon.
BOWL/ter. WITH. AGGRAVATION.—W. Bray, E. Terry .
and M. Craven, were indicted for burglary, accompanied
by very aggravating circumstances. It appeared that
these prisoners were present at a meeting cf Ranters, and
during the sermon, plotted the robbery of Mrs. Bird, a
poor old woman, living in a lone hour, near Should-
l: am. They forcibly entered the house in the night.
coppelled the old woman to give them her money, and

The Judge ;cave them no hopes.
FEMALE i' OOTPAD.--Mary Durant, charged on the
oath of Elizabeth Disney, of Reedham, spinster, with
having, on the 27th of Pehruary last, on the King's high-
way, at Haddisroe, assaulted her, and stolen frona.lier

THE CIWIIiERY BAR AND THE SOLICITORS.
• Some Seeelafige the Solicitors made a respectful replier
'sentation'on subject of the great injury and expense
to-Whis:h the snipes are-expond, as well as of the
Yellin-Sees eeperienced*by the profession from the absence
of Counsel within the liar in the Lord Chancellor's,
and Vice-Chancellor's Courts, when matters, in which
they hold briefs, are to be heard, and that the Gentlemen
to whom the representation had been made, would adopt
nth measures ea weelel, its future, remove the
and obviate the inconvenience.
No answer was returned. . The entreaty was renewed,
and the Counsel were requited to acquaint Me. Fianna
the Secretary, whether they might, us future, be found
in the Court of the Lord Chancellor et- in that of flit
Vice-Chancellor, so that the suitors and the profession
might, at ill times, rely upon their assistance in the
Genet id which they accept briefs.
Mr. Cutters's answer stated, thit be bad no diffictelty
in saying, for himself, as to his future intentions, that he
should be always in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, except
in particular cases, and where his attendance in the bond
Chancellor's Court would not interfere with any business
be might have in the Vice-Chancellor's.
Tbe answer of Mr. Shadwell stated that be had, thasi
fore, resolved to refuse any business which might
tend to prevent him from giving his undivided attention
in Court to matters that might be heard before the Lord
Chancellor.
Mr. Kees, as prolocutor of the solicitors, acksoer•
lodged the receipt of the two foregoing cemmunicatfone
in the most respectful manner, and addressed to each of
the other leading Counsel • note. expressing rzgeet it
the fact that no notice had been taken of the eptiltatimis
made through the Secretary. The Gentlemen to whom
the above communication was made, were as follow
W. Agar, Samuel Yate Kenyon, John Fonblanque,
thony Hart, George Heald, William Horne, Heury Mar-
tin, William Owen, Edward B. Surden,' James Trowel.
Charles Wetherell, William Wiogfield, and Griffin Wig'
son. Exp.
The only Counsel who answered this letter was Mr.
Foublanque. He denied any want of respect to the gene.'
Heinen who addressed him, bot their resolutions appear-
ed to him to assume a right in their collective character
to require that to be done, for which, individually, to the
discharge of their professional duty, they might properly •
stipulate. He proceeded to ray that the Solicitors could'
not but be aware that it had been usual in ail times for
King's Counsel, practising in the Court of Chancery. to
attend also Equity proceedings in the Court of Exche-
quer. The present Chancellor and his cotemporaries did
so for many years, until they found that their business in
on Court did not allow of their attendance in the other,
and then they withdrew from the Exchequer and con-
fined themselves to Chancery; and he was confident.
that the same liberal sense of propriety that reformed
the conduct of the Bar at that period, would regulate
the conduct o; those in the lead of business at the
present.
Upon receiving this letter, the solicitors determined
that the prolocutor should, with the assistance of Mr.
Brooks and Mr. Levi', write an answer to Mr. Fon-1
blanque, and wait up the ord Chancellor, to obtain
bis Lordship's sentiments oLu the measures which had I
been proposed to the King's Counsel at the Chancery I
Bar, the Society being unwilling to proceed to what
might be called an extremity. without the expressed or
implied sanction of.tbe highest authority.
Mr, Kaye visited upon the Lord Chancellor, and stated
to his Lordship all that had occurred upon the subject.
His Lordship did not make the smallest objection either I
to the measure taken by the solicitors, or to the manlier
in which the subject bad been brought forward; bat he
declined complying with their aOpllcation, that he
should apprise the Bar of his approval of what they rex
quested, assigning as a reason that he thought it iscoo.
'fluent with his situation to point out or suggest any pat,
elegise fint'fif conduct for the Bar to pursue, whatever
he might think it right to say individually to any Gen-
tleman at the bar who might speak to him oaths subject..
His Lordship added, tbat he considered himself at hawing
sufficiently expressed his sentiments upon the applica-
. don, by having frequently informed the Bar, in opal
Court, that business should never be put Off on ac.
canoe of the absence of Counsel, and which resolution he
mtptessed his determination to adere to strictly. die
losedsbip further observed, tbat the honour and integrity
of the Ilse abould.indoce tiipm to do what was proper,
for the correct and beneficial administration of Justice,
and the advantage of the suitors, and that the solicitonl
bad it in their power to infloencelbe Bar to do whet %as,
proper. His Lordship noticed his own practice sleep,
requested to attend the Court of Exchequer, which was,
to inform the solicitors that he would not be expected to
!Mend unless disengaged in the Court of Chancery. The
solicitors immediately made known this comtnanteation
from the Lord Chancellor to the Bar, and made a last
request upon the subject—they requested • meeting.
This was refuted, and they forthwith proceeded to the
adoption of the alternative to which the Chancery Bit
have driven them.

StIZURE OF Two ILLICIT STILLS, AND xxvitiongir
NARY PURSUIT OF TOR SAIUGGLIIR.--About twelve
o'clock on Saturday morning. two of the principal offi-
cers of the Excise, Fitchew, sen. and Druett, repaired to
No. 3. Sweedland-court, Bishopsgate-street, near Wide-
gate-alley, where an extensive private still has been for
some time at work. Fitchew first entered. and Eras fol-
lowed by Druett. All was now in the greatest confu-
,siou. The officers ran up stairs,and found the smuggler,
whose name is Thomas Jackson, escaping through the i
trap-door by means of a rope-ladder. Fitchew was quick
at his heels, and chased him over the roofs of several
houses; unfortunately Jackson evaded the officer.—
Drnett, the officer, searched the premises for the object
of their visit, and found a large cellar, fitted up in the
naost.conseuieut manner for the purpose
The still was then at work. running strong spiriti (roe

containing several hundred gallons of molasses in fer-
mentation, a quantity of spirits full proof, low wines,
&r. Leaving an officer in custody of the illicit amian-
tus, the still, &c. they repaired to an uninhabited hope
in Devonshire-court. Houndsditch, on a similar errand.
The officers, unable to gain admittance by knocking,
Procured a ladder, and entering at the window, found
I or 3 men and women smoking and drinking; hc,
sans ceremonie, rushed down stairs, and admitted Fit-
chew ; they then proceeded to search, and, on going
down stairs, found that the back of the adjoining house
(untenanted) communicated with the yard of the oat

and contained about 80 gallons of spirits, the usual appa.l
ratus, a quantity of low wines, &c., all of which they
seised. It is beyond a doubt that the persons who were'
seen drinking by the officers were the proprietors of the

On Saturday both Houses of Palliate* twat at laWit

1-•iThe Lord Cbaocellor, the Doe of Montrose, and the
Itarl Of Sbafteabstry, took their seats on the woolsack in
*nut of the Throne, to act as his Majesty's Commissicitt-

duction Bill, &c. were forwarded one stage, and such
.pro forma business having been gone through, Mr.
Quarme, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, went to
the Lower House to be in readiness to summon the Co*
mons; but here considerablediffionlty and agitation took I
'place. the Royal Commission, appointing the three
Lords above named, had not arrived from Brightonausd

Standing Order. of the House, was I ompelled to declare
that the House wood adjourned till thisday. The Speaker

• Mr. Quanne, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, ini-
ediately proceeded to the Lords, anal informed their
Lordships that the Commons had adjourned ; where-
upon, as it was useless to wait, even it the Commission
should arrive, the Lord Chancellor adjourned the House
till this day.
' This wholly nnpreceddhted occurrence occasioned as
l'
extraoniinary sensatioo about both Houses, as the Royal
F.Commission was of the ereateet importance, it being rie-i
finired to give the Royal Assent,to the Mutiny Bill con 7
tinuing the Mutiny Act, which expires this day (Mon-
day). The Commission wail Pent from the Lords Par-
liament Office to Brighton, between ten and eleven on'
Friday; and it was expected to be returned on Saturday
afternoon, by three o'clock. One of the King's Mes-
sengers from the Treasury was the bearer of the Com-
mission. The Royal Commission, which was acted upon
a few days ago, trod so closely upon the heels of time,
that it arrived at only five minutes before four o'clock ;
and, to accomplish that object, the Messenger bearing
the Commission came from Brighton to the Parliament
genies in liule better than four hours!
The failure of Saturday is without precedent,anij_ the
importance of the Bill made it more important. When
the Lord Chancellor ass informed of the non arrival of
the Message from Brighton with the Commission._ his
Lordship sent for the existing Mutiny Act, and carefully
consulted it. He said the Bill continuing such Act most
have the Royal Assent before twelve o'clock on Monday;
and to accomplish such 'purpose, both Houses were ad-
journed till eleven o'clock this day. •
The Mutiny Act places the army—a standing army in
the time of peace being onronstitutiorial—under Mar-
••l Law; and such Act is renewed mutually.

WONDERFUL CREDULITY.
We take the following from the Morning Chronicle
of to-day ; and, sarprisiag as it is ; difficult as it must be
to get down, we understand that it has already been
swallowed by this all-devouring Wen, for which nothing
that any one can put upon paper is too gross.
" We learn that letters from Paris, from a very high am-
" thority, dated Thursday last, state, that it was reported
" there, In well informed circles, and g Il
40y believed,
" theta Rouen army, in three, divisions of ,000 men
" each, had been put in motion with a view toenter France;
" that part of this army was to be conveyed to Dautsie
by
" water, and that rations were ordered for them in that
" city. We had previously heard of the existence of a
" similar report at Berlin, by letters from that capital,
" which arrived oa Wedoesday last. It will be seen in our
" extracts from Dutch papers, that strong aegociations, on
" the result of which the question of war • r peace will, it is
" said, depend, are pow going on .at St. Petersbargh and ,
" Vienna. From hints which dropped from individuals in
" econmanication with persons in office, in the beginning of
" last week, we could gather that Ministers were aware of
"the application which had been made by the Preach Go-
" imminent to Russia and Austria, to aid U in keeping
" down and intimidating the populatian andetke army,
"sad that this had given rise to esuck anxiety and appre-
"hearten. It would seem that without a Russian and
"Austrian force is impa•that of France, an invasion is
" now out of Use question. It is difficult to know how tke
" ease exactly stands ; but coupling the rernonrs with the
" Negociations, we can barfly help thinking that matters of
"no ordinary nature must be in agitation." •
We desire our readers who do not desire to be de-
ceived ; who do teat love to be cheated, just to look at
this st little. • It is not a lie of the Morning Chronicle...
It is a general lie. It was in circulation at the Royal E-
xchange, and at the Great (Nimble, all day on Saturday,
and was taken for truth, by, perhaps, ninety-nire hun-
dredths of the people, who appear to be ready to swallow
any thing, provided it be lie.—Mnly think of high aer
thority for such a monstrous story as thi.! If a Russian
army be necessaty to come and prick the French Army
on, why should the Russian Army sto? at Dsnozie ?
Why not go round at once and land in Spain? yet
monstrous. as this story it, thpdforning Chronicle says
" it would seem" to be true. After this, nothing ought
o be believed upon the assertion of any of these papers.

MINISTERIAL RESPONSIBILITY.
This is i thing to excite a smile under any circum-
stances ; but particularly under circutostantes snch as
those now stated. The Morning Chronicle, after saying
that it believes, that the Ministers lisve

N once on the continent." Well': and what turn ?
Save not we all along said, that all that we could di
Would be treated with contempt? Lamentable conch
I lion, indeed ! What is this lamentable conclusion? Why,
that we cannotgo to war : for who was ever fool enough to
expect any influence, not founded on the power of goieg
war. We benched any Winona on the continent el,
!eept the influence that bank-noSes gave ns.-
-And, is the Morning Chrimicle. or is any part of the.
stock-jobbing press. willing to return to paper-money?
For our parte. we know that the Ministers could do no-
thing towards preventing the invasion of Spain, =lets
they were ready to go to war; and the stock jobbing
press say that ther, 'ought not to go to war. What nor-
sense, then, is it to talk about the responsibility of Mi-
nisters. The stechcjobbers tell the Ministers that they
must not go to vgar; and the defence of the Ministers is,
without war we could not prevent the invasion of Spain
by France. No defence can be more complete. WE
say, reduce the interest of the Debt ; go to war. and
prevent the invasion of Spain. WE have gool groan
of complaint against the Ministers; but the stock.
jobbing press has no grotind of complaint against
them at all. The Iforoing pretends that
this overrunning of Spain and Poll .igaf be the con-
sequence of the hsd pi inciples ;01„ •:. I i . Castle.
resgh in his negotiations upon tte t 'r.r.•
This is a very poor shuffle. It will l,e t Al el .seenence
of our inability to go to war; and 64 is the
consequence of this enormous unreditced debt.—How
comes it that Wlg should have been so right as to all this
matter? We possess no powers of conjuration ; we had
no communications with the Devil; but we knew the
amount of the debt ; and therefore we knew that we
could not go to war ; and we knew that the French
knew this as well as we did.—When the Chronicle was
congratulating the country on the minty tone that Mr.
Canning bad taken ; when it, and all the rest of the
Stock jobbing press, was praising this gentleman
to the skies for having thrown his shield over the Pe-
ninsula; when, in short, the whole nation appeared
to be drunk with joy that our great Duke and oir gallant
Secretary had acted so glorious a part, WE.lsting on ;
WE never let go our held for one single moment; WE
told the public not to believe one word they said ; *hea
even the ministerial papers seemed to join them; WE
still said, their intelligence was false; and we still said
that nothing short of war on our part would prevent the
French from marching,and that to go to war we were
sure that our Oovernment dared not propose The result
has shown that we were correct ; and, we are not at all
afraid now to predict, that the French will do precisely
what they please with both Spain and Portogal ; sod
that, too, without the assistance of one Russian Soldier.

GAME LAWS.
-Select Committee appointed, " to take into considers:
tion the laws relating to Game, and report their Observa-
tions thereupon to the House :"—Lord Viscount Craa-
lorne, Mr. Secretary 'Peel, Mr. Bankes,l Colonel. Wood.
'Sir John Shelley, Mr. Heathcote, Lord Viscount Deerhurs',
Mr. Muer' Wortley, Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Nicholson Caiver',
Mr. Bonen, Mr. Gooch, Sir Edward Kuatchbull,
Sir William Rowley, Sir Matthew Ridley, Mr. Ridley Col.
borne, Mr. Lawley, Lord "%rheostat Lowther. Sir Thomas
Miami, Sir John Sebright, Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Solici-
tor-Geoeral :—Power to send for persons, papers, and re-
cords ; Fire to be the Quorum.
We look with no common anxiety to the result of the
enquiries and deliberations of these gentlemen, erl;o have
is most important duty to perform. The returns state that
nearly seventeen handsaws were imprisoned under the
Game Laws last year ; and that between three and 41/0
were imprisoned during the last month of it ! Where this
is to end no man can say. Mr. Peel observed, when the
Committee was moved for, that the preservation of the
peace of the country was to be thought of as well as the
preservation of the game: The next Register will en-
deavour
to do justice to this subject, and to' show how
these Game Laws have gone on since the beginning of
the last King's reign to be more and more terrible, and
more and more destructive to the morals and happiness
of the people. At last they have produced something
very much resembling feudal wars. The expense of p. n
ishing men who are called poachers, is now become
enormous in amount. Jails and Houses of Correc-
tion have been enlarged in order to receive
them. No inconsiderable portion of the poor
rates arise in some places, from the relief
necessary to be given to the wives and children of impri-
soned poichers.—Now, let the reader bear in mind, that
all these expenses are borne by the community at large; ,
and that, the pleasures which the game gives are ex-
pressly confined to a few.—Not one man out of five hun-
dred can have a bead of game in his possession, without
being liable to prosecution. The game is thus exclusive-
ly confined to the enjoyment of a mere handful of person'.
All the rest of the community are criminal if they touch
this game ; and yet all the rest of the community ate
coptpetted to pay for the preservation of it! What alter-
ation this Committee may propose we know' amt; but
'rim ili;ration will satisfy us, unless It throw the whole
of the expense of preserving the game upon those who
hare the exclusive possession of it. Only think of a man
being a criminal, if he kill a hare even upon his own
ground; only think of such a man being a criminal;
only think of such a man being liable to be sent to hard
labour and to be whipped ; and only think of his being
compelled to pay, at the same time, county-rates and
poor-rates for the preservation of gaunt.—We just men-
tion this for Sir James Macintosh to put down in his
common place hook against the time that he means to
treat the world to a set oration in praise of this " classic
