Meeting an incautious old simpleton by the name of Kennelly, the "Marquis" pulled out these notes, at' the same time saying that he did not wish to get on the spree, and asked Kennelly, to let him have a few shillings and take one of the notes as seourity. Kennelly, who at the " time possessed circulating medium of the unimpeachable order, made the advanco required, took the note as security, and, in an attempt to pass it, in company with his friend at Minter's found out his mis* take, and they were both given into cus- » tody. The masistrates gave Kennelly seven days' imprisonment, and discharged the Marquis, but ordered him into custody for obtaining money under false pretences, upon which oharge he was convicted, and relegated to the local custorlia for a period of six months.
