A dea: more of this conversation was given in evidence, which only went to confirm the knowledge the prisoners had of the transaction; and the hat, shoes, and bludgeon, found upon the Heath, were produced in Court.

Holloway, when called upon for his defence, said that Hanfield was a stranger to him, and he was innocent of the crime alledged against him.

Haggerty called to God to witness for his innocence. He said Hanfield had accused them, to get his own liberty.

Mr. Justice Le Blanc summed up the evidence in a very clear and perspicuous manner, making some very humane observations upon the nature of the testimony given by accomplices. He was near two hours in his address, and left no point, either for or against the prisoners, unobserved

They went from the bar protesting their INNOCENCE, and apparently careless of the miserable and ignominious tate that awaited them. They were both ill looking men, particularly Holloway, whose appearance was the inost ferocious that can be imagined.

He was generally supposed to be penurious; but his private character and public subscriptions were both numerous. and liberal; in proof, he gave five hundred pounds towards rebuilding St. James's Church, Bath; and not many years since he renewed

the leases of most of his tenants at their old rents, though the estates had, by a fair estimation, risen in value one hundred thousand pounds! About 35 years ago, on account of his relinquishing an mconsiderate promise of marriage that he had made to the accomplished Miss Linley (afterwards the first wife of Mr. Sheridan,) he was brought on the stage (in a Comedy called the Maid of Bath,) by that unsparing satyrist, the English Aristoplanes, Mi.

At the age of 82 years, at his house, near the Edgware-road, after a short but nost painful illness, which he bore with fortude and resignation, the celebrated General Paoli, who, after having employed the early and best part of his life at the head of his countrymen, in rescuing Corsica from the tyranny of the Genoese Government, and defending its liberties against the Gallic invasion; overpowered at last by the superior force of the French arms, he retired, with a few followers, to this country, where he has, with the short interruption of a few years, resided ever since.--It has been stated, that the General was godfather to Buonaparté; but this is not true. In the Annual Register for 1769, appears the following paragraph, dated Leghorn, the 19th of June of the same year:-General Paol, who araved at this port on the 16th instant, on board an English merchant-ship, came ashore yesterday. He went immediately to the house of Sir John Dick, the English consul, who had invited him to lodge there." -It is sufficiently ascertained, that the present Emperor of France was not born until two months after Paolt had left Corsica, when the island was considered as abandoned to the French, and their flag flying; viz. on tite 15th of August 1769. General Paoli was not, therefore, the godfather of Napoleon Bonaparté; but might have been, and it is believed, really was, the godfather of the elder brother, Joseph, lately created ng of Naples.
