      iiddrcMied them . that Frost ' s crime was not treason , but Chartism . The trials of the Welsh Martyrs had shown the gross inequality of the laws . They ( the martyrs j had to pay down in hard cash l , l »> u guineas , before two counsellors could be got to stir in advocacy of the accused ; whilst the yueen could have » i . ad ^ cates to conduct the prosecution at the expense of the people . ( Hear , hear . ) Who , under such circumstances , would sny the laws were equal , or that those men had had a fair trial f ( Hear , hear . ) Again , all jurymen must be electors , and he pei-sons tried , it would be remembered , were h e advocates of the non-electors , claiming the vote . Such a jury was as bad as the putting twelve Protestants in the box to try a Catholic . ( Loud cheens . j Men-y was said to Ik .- the brightest jewel in the Crown ,

      yet with all the royal births , royal christenings , visitings , and glorious victories , no mercy hud been shown to Frost and his fellow martyrs . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr .

And if we were to juilge of the amount of intelligence of the working people in the aggregate , by their demonstrations of public opinion , " we should have to number the scale at zero . Such is the deplorable apathy and supineness here amongst the workers .

      pui 1 > ose of purchasing one rood ol land lor each ol its members , by weekly contributions of seveiipencc . The society owes it ' s origin to the visit of Mr .

      NORTHERN CIRCUIT . Yobk , Dec . ' . ' . —Coining . —William I'hillips und John Maclean , who were attired us mechanics of a suuerior order , were charged with feloniously having in their possession certain metal dies for the production of counterfeit coin . Tlip evidence was very voluminous , and left no doubt whatever that a most extensive system of fraud was in contemplation , large sums of money having been expended in procuring the dies , Ac , and great ingenuity having been displayed in the whole of their proceedings . The prisoners did not attempt to deny having had the dies , Ac , constructed , but they pleaded in mitigation that they were the innocent instruments in the hands of others , having no intention them , selves either to coin or to pass counterfeit moiiev . The \

      alluded also to thejiuformuti'jii which they lmil attorUetl to the police , and pleaded hard on account of their wives and families , Unit they might not be transported . Mr . Justice Coieriilge , in passing sentence , ohserwil that this was not an ordinary case by any means ; it « as \ try different from that of person * in n low condition of lite with their common plaster ot Tans dies . This was a much more serious case—that of attempting to seduce a man from his honest trade to . nnake , with a irireat ileal of pains and skill , and at considerable expense , metal dies , the intention beinjf to distribute to a very large amount base coin with so much silver in it as to be not easy of detection , and yet containing such an amount of alloy as that the makers would reap gruit gain aiid the receivers suffer great loss . As the evidence appeared before him

      at present , he thought he was justified in making some distinction between the prisoner .- ; ; they must , however , both prepare for , a sentence which would no doubt be most painful to them . He , had listened to their storj , and it certainly was painful to him , as it must be to any good man , to separate husband and wife , father and children . ( At this period the prisoner Phillips fell down in n fainting tit ; on bviii £ rrnto «* .= < l to uniinution Kit 1 .... J ship continued . ) The course of justice could not . however , be arrested . by such appeals—the wife and childrei : should be a pledge for the good and holiest conduct of : i man , instead of being brought forward by way of palliation after the commission of crime .

The prisoner was defendvd iy Mr . JervLs . M . I ., and Mr . Welsby , who wei-e brought down from London oh -special retainers for the purpose , as was also Mr . IJond IItif , he » , the celelirated short-hand writer , to take verbatim notes of the proceedings . The learned judp ' , who is labouring under severe indisposi ( ion , | did not take hi ? seat until ten o ' clock . Shortlv afterwards the irraud uirv

The prisoner , John Kenyon Winterbottom , was then placed at the bar , charged * with having had in his possession a certain bill of exchange for £ 5 , 000 , and that he had forged to that bill the names of Elizabeth Isherwood , Anna Maria Isherwood , Miriam Islierwood and Anna Magdalene Isherwood , the executrixes , of the late Mr . John ' isherwood , of Marple Hall , with intent to defraud them . He was also charged with uttering the said bill , with intent to defraud John Jackson , and jilso with intent to defraud Messrs . Roberts , Curtis , and Co ., bankers , of London . Kach indictment charged him separately

      with ibrging the names of the respective . * ndoi-sei > , and also with uttering . The prisoner pleaded not eiiilty . The Attorney-General , ! Mr . Davidson . and Mr . Vardley appeared for the prosecution . The Attorney-( Jeneral , in stating the case to the- jury said , he was placed in a most painful position , having known the lil « itont-i all hi ** 1 WV * . tvr »< i ' oovilcl ^ - ^^» ¦ fc l » c »^ . « !» ..-ieved he would be guilty of the oft'ence with which he was charged , as he had always thought liiju ns lionourable a man as any i-n the country . The prisoner had been fur many years previous to 1 ^ 0 ai . attorney in Stockport , and was the confidential atlviser of ' tln * late Mr . John Ishtirwouil , of . \ Lirj » le JIall . In the year ISM , Mr . Isherwood effected a policy of insurance on his life for £ . "> , 000 , the prisoner

      transacting the business for him . When the policy wa . s effected , it was placed by Mr . Jshcrwoud in a box at Marple Hall , where it was supposed to be kept until his death , which took place in May , ls 2 !> . After his death the prisoner went to the' tisrent to the 1 ' elican Life Office in Manchester , produced the policy of as-Mininee , having , it was supposed , taken it from the deed-box of Mr . Isherwood , | to which he had access when attending his funeral , i He informed the agent of the death of Mr . Ishcrwood , ;> ml asked for the requisite certificate * to be tilled up . He subsequently pnxhiced the certiticn' <••; . mul-jon the l ? "th J'cc ., ISli ' . i , called whit them and tlie ' pmbate of the will ( it tho late Mr . Ishenvootl . Tlie . 'igciit proposed to pav the amount of the pulicv bv a bill at seven

      days' sight , and the prisoner obtained a stamp tor that purpose . The bill was then'idrawn by the agent and banded to the prisoner . He hail at the same time been told that it must not be endorsed by the parties by procuration , or it would not be paid by the office . < in the . ' 5 rtl of January . lMt > ,: tlu' bill was paid by tlie primmer into the Stnekpnrt Bank , and shortly after that period lie received con . sidt'ntlile sums from the bunk . When paid into the bank it hail the names <> f the ladirs mentioned in tiir indictments on it ; but as he should only " proceed on tin * one charging the prisoner with forgiiiL : the name of Anna Magtlclene Isherwood , now Mrs . Lloyd , ln' ^ tlu-Attoniey ( icner : \ l iwou ' . il confuif himself to that case . | Thc bill wasMilisniuentiv tra-nsiuitted to Messrs . Jones , Llovd , and Co ., in

      London , for the acceptance of two of the trustees of the 1 'i-lican ( . tfiicc ; it wi \ s p ;\ i < l liy Mo < r < . Robert » and' Co . In May , ISIh , application was niadc by Mrs . Lloyd tn the prisoner for the amount of the policy , when lie said it wa > necessary , before the money would be paid by the oW . cci , that there should be a Canterbury probate obtained to her father ' s will , as well as a Ch > 'vter i > ne . To otlicr applications ] u . sitid the money was safe in Li union , and the office would pay interest for it . However , in Auirust , 1 * 411 , it was discovered that tlie prisoner had received the n . oiH'v ; and Mr . Hush was isc . nt down to investigate the matter , and he , timlint ; "ithat the prisoner had absconded , took un-iius fur his- . apprel ' . cnsioii , and g (» t ad-\ crtiseincjits issued offcriiiL' a reward of £ ' 2 <> ii for him .

      lie ciiuld not be found , however , until the mouth ot ><>!> te-niber last , when he was atriilentally iiut with liy a man of the name ; oi' 1 ' aine , on the north ^ hore , at Liverjiool , wlnii lie was apprehended . A number of witnesses were ; then called to piovc those facts ; after whieli , Mr . . le \ -vis to « U several olijt-etiows to tho indictnient , on the iiround that the prisoner was indicted for forging tlie names of each endorsement separately , whereas the whole endorsement was only one transaction , and the bill was not complete until all the names were signed ; Itliat there was a variance in the different counts , theititle of the IVlican t'ttici not being correctly described , and that the bill it . > e ! t was not a negotiable instrument until accepted ; therefore , there could be no fraud in uttcrinsr it . Mr .

      Welshv followed on the same side . ' 1 he Judge said the j > oint was one ut : ijreat nicety for him to decide , and he would , therefore , rcsene it for the . consideration of the Judges , Mr . Jems then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner in a most eloquent . speech , contending that there was so much doubt in the case that they could not safely convict . It was manifest that the prisoner , heing the confidential adviser of the { family , considered that he had authority to receive the money , and to endorse the bill , and therefore the tutmost extent of his guilt was a breach of trust , lie implored them , therefore , under * these circumstances , not to consign the prisoner , by their verdict , to ' slavery , and his wife and children to infamv . The'learned Judeein suminint ; . , , , ' ,

      , up , said that after the eloquent and forcible address , iat had been delivered tp them , it was his duty to lay the whole facts of the ; case before them , in order , that they might arrive at a proper conclusion . He then went into a full history of the transaction from first to last , and in allusion to the bill , drew the attention of the jury to the fact , that the four signatures alleged to be forged all varied , and were in a feigned hand ; and it was upon the faith of those signatures that the bill was paid in j London ; and all that' had been proved was done without the knowledge ot' the executrixes , who had all given their evidence most fairly . He had paid the bill into his private bankers , | ' , " 'r 0 n .. S ^ _» td ie st s ,

      and on the faith that : it was a good and honest bill he had drawn on that banker to the amount of £ 2 , 415 . It was a fearful thing that a man should possess himself of" any person ' s monev by means of forgery , and then turn round and say that he thought he had authority to use I their names . This was negatived by the evidence } particularly by Mrs . Lloyd , who was a shrewd , sensible woman , and had give her evidence with great intelligence and fairness . It was trhe that he had advanced money for the family , but that did not establish any authority to deal With this policy in the way he had done . Verdict , ' Guilty .
