and finally signed his attestation as 
magistrate. Of all these ingenious 
acts of his, and Mr. Edward’s em- 
ploying him, and giving currency 
to his impositions, the jury found 
them both guilty. . 
At the same assizes, an indict- 
ment was tried, which reflects no 
small degree of discredit on the per- 
son indicted. Theophilus Bridges, 
a button-maker, of ‘lemple-street, 
St. George’s fields, was indicted for 
the murder of his apprentice, Eli- 
zabeth Monk, in January, “1795. 
The deceased was one of seven ap- 
prentices, all taken from the Asy- 
lum ; and by the evidence of three 
of the surviving apprentices, it ap- 
peared that Bridges was a very pas- 
sionate and severe man, and had 
frequently beat and kicked the de- 
ceased; and that she died after an 
illness of some continuance, caused, 
as they conceived, by such ill usage ; 
together with spare diet and hard 
work. A surgeon was called; but 
who having seen the deceased only 
afew hours before her death, and 
being told she was ill of a consump- 
tion, and merely having felt her 
pulse, as he perceived she was ve- 
ry near death, could not speak to 
any circumstance to  criminate 
Bridges. He was therefore ac-

Grindley,anattorfey had, by meang 
of the bishop being appointed de- 
puty registrar of the consistorial 
court of his diocese, his lordship’s 
nephew being the principal regis- 
trar; that, on the 6th of January 
last, whilst the office was shut, the 
bishop sent for the key of it; which 
was refused by order of Mr. Grind- 
ley ; that on the 7th of January, 
by his lordship’s order, the lock of 
the office was taken off and anew 
one put on, the key of which was 
delivered to the bishop, who the 
same day informed Mr Grindley 
thereof. That, on the 8th of Ja- 
nuary, Mr. Grindley, with a black- 
smith and four other persons, broke 
open the oflice. ‘That the defend- 
ants being alarmed at this, went 
to the office unarmed (after Mr. 
Grindley had taken possession of 
it) and expostulated with him, and 
were excited to shew some marks 
of anger at this violent conduct ; 
for he was armed with pistols, and 
had forced one person down the 
steps and threatened to shoot ano- 
ther. Italso appeared that the bi. 
shop sent for a magistrate ; and his 
lordship and the other defendants 
soon afterwards departed, leaving 
Mr. Grindley in the office. A pamphk- 
let was produced in court to Mr, 
Grindley, containing some confiden- 
tial letters from the bishop to him 
during the time he had been his 
lordship’s agent; which letters Mr. 
Grindley owned he had delivered 
into the hands of a Mr. Williams 
The defendant’s coun- 
sel said they had many witnesses ; 
but that their case stood so clear, 
even on the  plaintifif’s evidence, 
they did not think it necssary to 
call a single witness on the part of 
the defendants; and the jury im-
