CHRONICLE. 



close of these assizes : John Taylor 

 had been arraigned and tried on 

 the chai'ge of uttering a forged 

 note, in the name of Bartholomew 

 Browne, for 820/. 10*. with an 

 intent to defraud the bank of 

 Cricket and Co. at Colchester, of 

 which the jury found him guUty ; 

 but just as baron Hotham was 

 about to put on his black cap, and 

 to pass sentence of death on the 

 prisoner, one of the barristers, not 

 retained on the trial, happening to 

 turn over the forged note, saw it 

 signed Bartw. Browne ; and throw- 

 ing his eyes immediately on the 

 indictment, perceived it written 

 therein Bartholomew Browne. He 

 immediately pointed out the cir- 

 cumstance to Mr. Garrow, coun- 

 sellor for the prisoner, who rose up 

 and stated the variance as fatal to 

 the indictment; in which the judge 

 concurred, and discharged the pri- 

 soner ; but, as he was still liable to 

 a new indictment, and immediately 

 arrested for debt, his friends paid 

 the latter to save him from the 

 former.
