OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.  Upon the arrival of the Judges yesterday morning, the four following persons were put to the Bar, charged with uttering, and having in their possession, divers forged and counterfeit Bank of England Notes, well knowing them to be forged, viz. Owen Ragdon, James Balnett, Esther Bevan, and Mary Deal. They ail pleaded Guilty to the minor offence.  Francis Roxburgh, a master-baker, was indicted, upOn the Coroner's Inquisition, for felonioussly killing and slaying Mr. Charles Coe, on the 6th instant. John Paui, the first witness called, was in Holborn, near Browalow-street, between five and six o'clock in the afternoon of the day above stated ; saw an elderly gentleman (who he afterwards learned was Mr. Coe, the deceased) crossing the street, and stopping on a sudden, as if seized with some alarm ; ' witness turned round, and saw a mar. (the prisoner) riding at a very brisk trot towards the deceased, who instantly after at once rode against him, and passed over him. The man continued to ride on westward; witness and others cried out " Stop !" The man was pursued a short distance, the bridle of his horse was seized, and he was brought back. Witness exclaimed to him—" You brutal rascal, how came you to ride over the Gentleman ?" To which he replied, " It w::s his own fault ; why did not he get out of the way ?" A mob soon gathered, and much indignation was excited against the prisoner, but witness did not allow any violence to be committed against him, be being so respectable a looking person. Witness asked him for bis name and address, or card ; his answer, in angry tone, was, that " he had no card." He endeavoured to avoid all explanation in the most indifferent way, but after a good deal of remonstrance, said he was known to Mr. Francis, the linen-draper, hard by, and witness caused his address to be given to that Gentleman. The street was perfectly clear when he saw the old Gentleman fall lions being run against by the prisoner's horse. Cross-examined.---Saw nothing of the deceased before he fell ; did not know the Gentleman was subject to, or at the time labouring under a fit of apoplexy ; did not see him foam at the mouth, before the horse reached him ; he had stopped quite short ; witness appeared before the Grand Jury ; they threw out the Bills against the prisoner, both fOr Murder and Manslaughter. Joseph Hood is an assistant in the house of Messrs. Curhyn and Co. Holborn. On the above day, about a quarter before five o'clock in the evening, au elderly Gentleman was brought into the shop by five or six persons ; he was nearly insensible ; the circulation was languid, the breathing difficult, and there was no pulsation in the wrist. The prisoner was brought to the shop shortly after, and the circumstance of his having rode over the old Gentleman having been related in his presence, he observed, if he had, he was very sorry for it. In about ten' minutes, the deceased recovered a little; so as to be capable of answering the questions put to him.— He complained of pain in his head and back, but could not account for what had happened to him ; some camphor of julep and sal-volatile was administered to ,him. Witness observed a sort of bruise on the left side of his head ; could not say whether it was the effect of accident, or an original tumour ; there was no wound, but a small scratch ' - there was a small mark of dirt on the front of one of his stockings ; sent for deceased's wife, and deceased's wife went away with him and some others in , a coach read his name (thinks James Coe) on the back of a letter, which he found in his pocket; he was in a kind of stupor when he went away. Joseph Morgan, of Bedford-row, Surgeon, said he was sent for to attend the deceased at his house in Robert-street, on the 2d of June. He found him in bed, in a state of great sickness and debility. He gave a very inSperfect account of what had happened to him, but more than once said he had got his death blow. When his wife, however, said he was knocked down by a horse, the deceased rejoined "yes." He observed the tumour spoken of on the left side of his head, and in his judgment the deceased came to his deatlrhy the blow. He lingered until ten the morning following, when he ezpired.
