Mr. W A LIFOIRD statelahualancfor the prosecution.—
The prisoner, he said, Misuse of those who by false
representations induced persons to believe that thy
were attorneys, and obtained Nom them suss of money
on pretence of carrying on suits for them, whieb they
were not qualified or in any way authorised to do, by
which those who confided in them lost the causes they
entrusted to their care, as well as the mosey they ad-
vanced in carrying them on. The present ease was a
very aggravated one of this hind. as Mr. Everest, the
prosecutor. bad not only paid the prisoner 72/. for his
costs, but in consequence of his conduct bad been
obliged to pay 1401. costs to the Priem.
Peter. Everest, the prosecutor, staled. that previous
to the 3d of July last he kept a pnblic-kouse in the
Haymarket; in consequence of improvemeate makiag
there, he was on the 4th of May last *erred with a de.
claration of ejectment at the suit of the Crown. The
prisoner, whom be had known for some years as clerk
to Mr. Coleman, his attorney, came to his house soon
afterwards. Witness said to him, you are just the sort
of man I wanted to see; and abewiug him the paper,
told him he had just been going to take It to Mr.
Coleman, to see what was to be done. The Osage/
,told him be bad left Mr. Cotemaa, and was carrying
on busioess for himself, and he would defend
Witness agreed to employ him saying, " I know you
won't deceive me." The prisoner replied. " I'd as
soon cut my arm off." In about alliegigight the pri-
soner came to him, and told him the business was
going on rapidly, and asked.forlol. oa account. Wit-
ness gave him nine guineas. limit few days the pri-
soner came again and said, ill was going on well, but
more money was wanted, which was accordingly given
him. By such representations. which were continued
to the end of Angust. he obtained from the witness 741.
On the 3.1 of July the witness was pat out of his house
by esecntion under the ejectment, and his goods all
sold to pay the costs. The prisoner still desired him
not to be afraid, for he'd make them suffer.
On his cross-examination, the witness admitted, that

_ - i
se inquiring of the prisoner, n the month of July,
whether be were carrying on the defence in his own
name, be told him he was not, but that he was beating
them ail to bits. He gave the prisoner several sums
of money niter receiving this information.
A witness proved that be bad examined the Roll of
Attorneys in the Court of King's Bench, and that the
prisoner's name was not amongst them.
Mr. ANDREWS addressed the Jury for the prisoner,
but called no witnesses.
The Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner
Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN said, the offence of which the pry.
loner had been found guilty was one of great enormity,
and was become so frequent that it must be checked
by making as example; the judgment of the Court.
therefore, itas;lhat he should be transported for seven
years.

In less than half as hoar after the trial of the late

coachman of Captain Johnsen was over at the Old
Bailey yesterday, Captain J., accompanied by his so-
licitor, presented himself before the sitting Magis-
trate at Ibis office (O.R. liitssuuLL, Req.) and stated,
that immediately after his coashmaa was acquitted at
the Old Bailey, some parses made an application to
'the Court, to have him (hptais) detained on a
charge of Horse-stealing ! The Court refised the
lapplication ; bat be bad scarcely got outside the door,
when he was assailed by nearly a hundred people,
some of whom applied opprobrious epithets to him ;
some pulled.ltim by his collar, and others talked of
his being wanted at Bow-street, He shook off this
mob as soon as be could, by getting into a hackney-
coach, and, with his solicitor, driving to Bow-street,
and he now wished to know whether the Magistrate
had received any charge against him.
The Magistrate replied be was not aware of any ;
when a person, who described himself as a Solicitor,
said he attended on behalf of Mr. South, a livery
stable-keeper, ie Mason's-yard, Duke-street, Saint
James's. The Captain, be said, had hired a horse
from Mr. South, for one day, which be had never re-
turned, though it was more than 12 months ago; and
they bad since learned that he had sold it to Mr.
Batt, a gentleman residing near Southampton. Under
these circumstances, he had to request that his Wor-
ship would call upon the Captain for some sort of se-
curity that be would meet this charge, as Mr. Batt
would be in town in • few days, and they would then
be fully prepared to prove it.
The Magistrate said be must have this upon affida-
vit, before he could take cognizance of it ; and asked
why Mr. South himself was not present to substan-
tiate it?

Mr. South immediately stood forward, and stated
that Captaist rhilifmon came to him on the 23d of Sep-
tember, 101 idol hired a horse for one day only,
since whisk** limited never been able to find either
the Captaia,WerAhe hone ; and that he had been told,
and he verily heliwred, Captain Johnson had sold the
rue to the gentleman above-mentioned.
Captain Johnson appeared very indignant while
statements were milting. He replied that be
hived the bona ha am Welsh, term ; and as a
proof of tads be bad Isa day ticket veld. Is; airdire,
'need his own saddle and bridle. As a further Owl
that it was an indefinite :hiring, be referred to three
several letters he had written to Mr. South, proposing
to boy the hone, and requesting him to name its
price. He stated, too, that be had latterly driven the
horse back himself to South's stables, and be had it
now in his possession.
A long and angry altercation ensued; the stable
keeper sayiag he never bad any intention of selling
the horse to C:aptlin Johnsen. a.d therefore took no
notice of .his letters--the Captain asserting, that the
stable keeper bad been heard to declare be wouldl
transport him if possible, because be bad prosecuted
bleaoachman ; and the Captain's Solicitor declaring
that the stable-keeper bad offered to settle the dispute
if the Captain would give him 1701., 100/.. or even
601. for the horse; though, in fact. it was not worth
more than 14/.!

At length the Magistrate put an end 'to the wordy
war, by observing, that enough bad been stated to
show that Captain Johnson had not hired the horse
with intent to steal it. and therefore be should not In-
terfere ; end upon this decision the parties withdrew.
Margaret Hillier, the wife of a stone-mason out of
employ, applied to the Magistrate under the following
circuinstauces

him by a relation, " far down in the west conetry."
