Case of Dr.. WatkiRs.-Chief Justice
Cunch. ON the opening Of the Circuit
Court on Tuesday morning, delivered the
opinion of the court on the question argued
last week In the case of the indictment
against the late Fourth Auditor. The
length Of this opinion, which occupies more
than a page IN the Inteligencer, precludes
It's insertion entire, and oblges Us to give
but an abstract oft The Court decided
as to the first ground of demurrer, that the
case was within its jurisdiction, the United
States having a criminal common law IN
regard TO offences committed within the
Maryland part of the District, and the
Court having a criminal common law ju-
risdiction. As to the second ground Of
demurrer, the Court decided that frauds
affecting the public at large, or the public
revenue. constitute a distinct class OF Of
fences, punishable by indictment at com
mon law. though the fraud be not effected
bymeaus offalse public tokens, or forgery,
or conspiracy, sc. The question then
occurs. whether the indictment sufficiently
set forth fraud upon the public. On this
the court decided that the money drawn by
the accused out ofthe hands of Mr.. Pauld-
I ing, was the money of the United States;
but It sustained the demurrer and quashed
the indictments on the two grounds, first,
that they did not sufficiently aver what the
false pretences were by which the govern
ment was defrauded, and, secondly, that
they we're not good as indictments for a
forGerv at common law, as the reqmsition
set forth is admitted to be d true requlsI-
ton. and there is no allegation that the de
PENDANT forged and counterteited It. This
forgery. ifone, IS only incidentally alleged;
/ and moreover, If the count which charges
/ the obtaining of money by false pretences,
/ contains also q specific charge OF forgery,
/ j. rs bad for duplIclty.

cannot be deceived as to tie merits of the invention
OF which ne speaks informs Us Of discovery
which Is likely to produce very extensive effects
more indcd ia an can be at ouce anticipated,

adyerted 10; but II Is obvious that the machine
will be introduced into private and public Offices,
and will supply the place ofmanlfold writers, dc.
The principle of IFS construction, aud the manner
of using 1t are Of course not explained as patent
must be taken ont. We are really at loss 10
comply with Our correspondence request TO fur
nIsh a name. An American invention, brought
forth in the woods Of Michigan, should not, we
think, be known by any long-wnded aud grabbed
Greek appclltion. We shall endeavor 10 find
something appropriate. In the mean time, if any
the itarati can supply one, we shall transmit It
70 the inventor.
