At the clofe of the poll, )cilertlay, the numbers were : Mihrvar.ng,soi 6 I Ntr. Byng,s3B3 Sir F. Burdett, tso9 Mr. BYNG faid,.. Gentlemen, I thank you molt lincerelv fur the conilant, kind, and Ready atten tion you have manifefted toward me, fince I have had the honour to appear before you on this oc calion; that attention I flatter myfelf you will con tinue to grant me, for while I am true to you, I am confident you will never defert me.(Applaufir.) I have to inform you that on this day's Poll, I am five below one of the Candidates. lam certain thatthis information will ferve only to double your exertions, and that you will not allow fuch a thing to happen again ; but that, imitating the laudable example of the independent Eleaors of Hertford fhire and Kent, of London and Weftminfter, you will perfift in keeping the determined friends of freedom at the bead of the Poll. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT.-•-" Gentlemen Free holders, I feel great pleafure in being able to in form you, that on this day's Poll I have gained confiderably, as I am within 13 of the Candidate who is highefl on the account of the day. From fuch encouragement, I have the belt reafons to think that this, ottr common caufe, will be crown ed with fuccefs, Wow friends will but perfevere in their exertions (An outcry from every quarter—we AA we fball.) I take leave of you, countrymen, this evening, in the hope thdt you will attend here to-morrow morning, at as early an hour as may be convenient. I hated to you, a few days fince, that I would not abandon the contell, fo long as the leaft chance of fuccefs remained ; and as that chance has been progreffively increafing, I tru ft you know enough of me to be allured that I will not eafily yield in loch a caufe.—(Univerfal at tiarffe.) The Candidates having withdrawn, a Mr.' Lowsots, who was remarkable at Covent-garden Eleaion, prefcnted himfelf at the Huftings, and laid. that he undcrliood. from common report,' that Gi...:...nment was aaively ufing its influence in faro r I.f on.: of the Candidates. If fo, he con- Adered it a ylaring inconfiftency—(He war inter rupted by a general cry from the meeting of • What doper mean ? iYhat do you wan ?')—The Orator hated, that he had the permiffion of Sir Francis Burdett to addrefs them, and he was accordingly allowed to proceed. He obferv,pl, that if Government re• fired the aid of its influence in the Southwark Eltaior. to Sir I'. Turton. who was a Magiftrate, between whom and Mr. Mainwaring the material difference was, that the one performed all the du ties of his office without fce or emolument, while the other (Mr. Mainwaring) hau a handfome fa. Lary to reward him for his attention—the prefer ence was unfair. Perhaps Government witbed to have Mr. Tierney returned as an accommodating Member ; but as no hope of conceffion or compro. nide could be expeaed from Sir Francis Burdett, it might have been thought expedient by Minifters to adopt a different fyllem on this eleaion (At pfasfir.) He (Mr. L.) was unwilling to rely upon common fame ; he withed for particular informa tion, whether Magiftrates had menaced publicans with withdrawing their licence if they fhould vote fir Sir Francis Burdett ? And whether feveral other fuch artifices had not been reforted to, to influence the Eleaors ? (An univerfal try of yes! yet! many.) A Gentleman on the Huftings cried out— " Pray Sir who are you, and what is your name?" A. 4 , My name is Lowndes : I am coufin to Sir Thomas Turton." The people then difperfed, and Sir F.BuiDETT, as dual, had his coach drawn by the mob. Mr. MAIMWARING retired yekerday from the Huaings before the poll was doled. About two o'clock yetterday Mr. Fos and Lord WM. RUSSELL arrived at Brentford, weiring the colours of BYNG and BURDETT. They were re ceived at their entrance into the town by a vail affemblage of people, whole acclamations accom panied them to the Huftings. Soon as they ar rived there all bufinefs was filfpended : they were greeted by the whole allembly : they remained on the Hitaings above an hour, during which Mr. rot was in dole converfation with Sir FRANCIS BoxotTT. The bands of mufic belonging to the two Candidates were brought before the Hullings 10 entertain their illuarious vifitors, who, after having experienced every mark of refpca from the Candidates and the Eleaors, retired amid the Lundell huzzas. Two men, apprehended on Wednefday aft rnnoa, for being alive in the affray which took place near the Star and Garter, at Kew-hridge, and al:tithing the Conilables in the execution of their duty, were on Thurfday brought before Sir RICH. lotto, at Bow-areet, for examination, and the dage being proved, they were ordered to find 1)111 for their appearance to anfwer it at the feaions.

SEDGEWICK. This was a caufe of divorce or leparation from board and mutual cohabitation, by reafon of adul tery, promoted by Mrs. Sedgewick againft Mr. Sedgewick, her hulband. It appeared, that Mr. Sedgewick was a performer at one of the winter Theatres ; that be had formed a criminal connec tion with a lady of the name of Marthall ; that they patted as man and wife at the different places where they raided, and (till continued In to do. The fa 5I of Adultery being clearly proved by the witneffes produced (particularly by the fervant maid who lived with Mr. Sedgewick), the Court pronounced, that the wife was entitled to the re medy the prayed, and allotted her, as alimony, Gol. a year, to be paid quarterly. OLD BAILEY. Yefterday nineteen prifoners were tried, dhe of whom was convicted of a mifdemeanor, viz. 7. Hawker, who was tried upon feveral different indiSments, charged with defrauding and fwind. ling many filk manufalturers and haberdafhers of goods to a great amount, pretending to be in the employ of feveral refpeetable men in that line. The &II of thefe indictments was preferred by Mr. Hyden, of Cheapfide, of which the Judge or dered the prifoner to be acquitted, on account of fome informality in the drawing up of the indi&. ment, which, he (aid, would not be proper to ex plain in the Court. The fecund indktment charged him with de fraudins the houfe of Mr. Smith and Company, of the pardh of Mary-la-bonne, of feventy-feven yards of filk, pretending he came from the warehoufe of Meas. Wells, Gilchriff, and Neuel, haberdafhers in Fleet.fireet, who, he Paid, had fent him. Mr. Smith Rated, that he found a great quanti ty of the articles in the poffeffion of different pawn brokers, pledged by the prifoner. Mr. Gilchrift declared, that the prifoner was not fent by him, nor by any of his partners; that' all he knew of him was, that he recolleded hay. ing purchafed tome fans from him feveral years ago. Mr. Holdfworth, the City Marfhal, Paid, that he was lent for to Mr. Sibbits, in Wood•Rreet, where the prifoner was deteited in attempting to defraud them in the fable way; that when taken into cnf tody, he invited the Maraud to a houfe in Leather ' lane, Holborn, where he produced about eighty tickets from pawnbrokers, moft of them for filks cut up in pieces of three and feven yards. Many of the pawnbrokers' fervants produced the filks, with tickets to them, exaftly correfponding with the tickets found upon the prifoner; and ibme of them fwore to the goods being pawned by him. Such filks were by Mr. Smith picked out, and fworn to by him from a particular mark of four tight threads, which run through the whole piece, and which could only be perceiveable by perfons converfant in that article. Both he and one of his young men fwore pofitively to his perfon. Hawkins, when called on for his defence, refer- 1 red to two Gentlemen in Court, one of whom, he Paid, he had lived with. This Gentleman Rated, that he remembered fomething of him living with him when he was a boy, ten years ago, but knew nothing of him fince. The indiament having been clearly primed, the Jury found him Guilty. The RECORDER told them this was only a mif demeanor. biat fubjed to tranfportation, or fuch other punifhment as the Court thought proper. — He declined going into any more of the India. ments, but defired all the pawnbrokers would give up the property to the profecutors, without any further order of the Court. Nine were eonvided of felony, viz. 7. Brady, for healing two pair of cotton heck ings, the property of L. Lefage. 1. Car, for healing a great coat, the property of P. Pendergrafs. g. Richardfon, for healing a flyer watch, the property of C. Hull. Mary Swan, for felonioufly healing a flyer watch, the property of John Tothill ; and 7ofeph Spur, for being an accelfary after the fad in the Paid felony. • James Kennedy, for affaulting upon the King's' highway, Elizabeth, the wife of Samuel Butcher, and forcibly taking from her perfon, a bundle con taining the fundry articles of wearing apparel laid as the property of the Paid Samuel Butcher. The evidence in fupport of the profecution in this cafe was fuch as induced the Jury to mitigate the capi. tal part of the charge by finding a verdiet—Gaiky of leafing only. 7antes Slretherd, for healing, on the 141 h of July, a mahogany knife-cafe, the property of Marma duke Welim ore. The profecutor, it appeared, is a cabinet-maker in Crooked-lane in the city, and one of the people called Quakers : He obje&ed to being (worn; and' the RECORDER, in the firft infiance, raid his affir mation could not be taken in a criminal cafe ; however, as it turned out, his evidence was not material. The principal witnefs was Mr. Weft mare's errand•hoy, about twelve years of age, who gave a very minute and colleded account of i the tranfadion. He hated, that on the day men tioned in the indidment, about eleven o'clock, he was in the counting-houfe, which communicates with the raop by a glafs door. He obferved the prifoner walk up and down fcveral times appolite the (hop door; at length he walked in with the meh perfe& compofure nobody was in the tbop at the time.he took the knife-cafe which lay at one lend of the counter, and walked away with it.— The boy immediately ran out and gave the alarm, crying, " hop thief," &c. and before he loft fight of him, the prifoner was (topped by one of the other witneffes, previoufly to which he had drop ped the knife-cafe. He was immediately given in charge to an Officer, who kept the property ever 1 fince, and the boy above.mentioned (wore it be longed to the profecutor. The prifoner incenuouflv owned b.II•A th e Cont.n as to the rcrult.—The Jury, of coutfe, immediately found him t.vitr. IVil..'urra /1"7//ifuw, for Ilealing a quantity of raw coffee, laid as the property of Richard Ciook. It appeared, that a confiderahle quantity of coffee, intended for exportation in bags, was de pofited on Bear Key. Early in the morning of the 14. th of Jeale, about four o'clock, the prifoner was found lying down among the bags, one of which that WAS near him, was cut, from which tome of the coffee was fpilt ; and on fearching the prifoner, the quantity laid in the indiCtment was found in his hat, breeches, and in other parts of his apparel : the coffee was found to he precifely the fame kind as that which the cut bag contained, and on weighing In much was found deficient as had been fpillcd and found about the prifoner. In his defence, he Paid, he fell asleep among the bags, and in that fituation was found by the par ties who took him into cuftody; as to the reft of the charge, he was innocent of it. No proof, however, being adduced to fubßan date this defence, the Jury had no hefitation in pro nouncing the prifoner Gay. Jeremiah Daley, a boy twelve years of age, for ftealing a flyer watch, the property of Richard Adam , .—The profecutor depofed, he was butler to a Gentleman in Hanover.fquare, and about ten o'clock in the morning of the day mentioned in the indielment, was bufy in the pantry ; the iron gate lead ingto the area was left open, and he obferved the prifoner come down the tier, go into the kitchen, and takeaway his metal watch, which was hanging up ; he immediately followed and took him. • The prifoner, in his defence, faid, he was very hungry, and only went down to beg a little water and a crult of bread. He had no friends to ap pear for him. He was found Guilty. The Court enquired whether this was his fir& offence? and Mr. Kirby faid he had never feen him before. Sir Gil. Fs Rook* hoped this trial would be tom. munieated to the public, in order that fervants might learn how extremely dangerous it was to leave the doors of areas open even for a moment. It was not only expofing their mafters' property, but throwing a temptation in the way of the needy. He confideNd fuch condud in fervants highly reprehenfible. Nine were acquitted ; among whom was, Robert Delamaiae, who was indicted for feloninuf ly affanlting Simon Nazaret on the King's high way, putting him in fear and robbing him of di vers 51. and 11. notes, his property. The profecutor was a Frenchman, and convey. ed his evidence through the medium of an inter. preter. He was one of the mariners belonging to the Friendfttip, lying in the river Thames, and cm the t zth June lift was paid his wages ; he received fix 51. notes, three il. notes, and three half guineas. He was put afhore by the prifoner, a waterman, about feven in the evening, and lauded at a place he believed to be Deptford, but the defcription he gave of it was very vague. He agreed to give the prifoner fixpence and a pot of beer for bring. ing him afhore. When they landed, they went to a public houfe to drink. The prifoner went out, and the profecutor foon after followed, and faw ' him watching dole by Tome wind mills. The pri toner ftruck - him over the neck with a piece of Rick, then on the arm, and afterwards knocked him down, and took all his money. Another per, fon who bad been with the prifoner in the boat, came up and took off the profecutor's neck-hand kerchief, which had coil him two Spanifli dollars. The profecutor Paid he had drank nothing previ. ous to his coming afhore, but what the Captain of the Friendfhip had given him. Perry, an officer, Paid he apprehended the pri. Toner from the defcription given of him by the profecutor; it was remarkable from the circum. fiance of his hair hanging down in long curls or ringlets. The prifuner teemed noway* alarmed, nor did he hefitatc is telling him who he'was, and where he lived. The prifoner, in his defence, faid he never Caw the profecutor. Alice Bones depofed, that The lived in the fame houfe with the prifoner. She was pofitive he came home on the evening of the isth of June at fur o'clock to tea, and that The gave him Come hot water to make it. A female fervant at the Fox public houfe, at Poplar, near where the prifoner refided, Rated that at half after fix he came to her Matter's houfe, had a pint of porter, and (laid till he had drank it and fmoaked a pipe. Mary Nodrum, filler in law to the prifoner,faid, he came to her houfe about liven, and flopped till nine. She was certain as to the day, becaufe it was the fame on which the had given her Land. lord notice to quit. The Mate of the Friendfhip depofed, that on the day the profecutor was paid, he left the Blip in a Rate of intoxication. It appeared that the place where the profecu. for Paid he had been knocked down and robbed, was a very great thoroughfare, and much Ire. quented. Captain Wells hated, that he had commanded his Majefty's Ihips of war the Defence and the Glory, of which the prifoner was one of the crew. It was his objet to find out among the numbers who compofed the crew, fuch men as were dill tinguilhed for their honefty, integrity, and gence, in order to place them in fituations of truft and confidence. He had made the prifoner his Coxfwain ; and he believed him as incapable of the crime imputed to him, as he was himfelf. Sir Soy LOIN Lev/mice fummed up the evi. dence, obferving, that from all the circumftances it was improbable the prifoner &could have corn. mitted the robbery with which he was charged.— It teemed, indeed, extremely doubtful whether the profecutor had been robbed at all, for it was very unlikely he fhould have been knocked down and ill ufed in a place fo much frequented, and at fuch an hour of the evening, when it was quite light. without tome perfon having witneffed the tranfae tion ; betides, if the witneffes for the prifoner were to be believed, they had clearly proved an alibi.
