This was an indictment againft the Defendant for a Mifdemeanor. Mr. Glass Rated the.cafe, and called his Wit neffes ; but on the examination of the material Wieners, _ _ _ Lord !Um vos flopped it, and Paid, he could not fuller it to proceed any farther : and under his dircitions to the Jury, the Defendant was ac quitted. His Lordfhip then raid, that as the Defendant would have to anfwer for a much• higher crime, he molt earneftly defired that no account of the proceedings in this day Ihould go abroad, as it might tend to prejudice the public mind againfl the Defendant; and under that influence a Jury might come hereafter *ith a biafs on their minds, which they ought not to have. He therefore' hoped, that neither tht flatement of the Learned Counfel, nor the imperfca evidence of to day, thould be made public. In obedience to this v:•i(h expreired h his Lori. (hip, we have forborne to give even the flighted Iketch of the proceedings. GRIWORY v. KtMIII.C. This was an aflic , n againft the Defendata to re-I coier a compenfation for the labour and (kill of the. Plaintiff in concluding his bufinefs as a put - - chafer and vender of potatoes. Mr. ERSICINt ftated ' that Mr. Kemble, as wat well known, had molt benevolently undertaken at a time of dearth and fcareity to alleviate the dif. trellis of the people, by felling them the effential commodities of life at a lower price than they 7e rierally fetched. Among other articles which he furnifhed, Potatoes formed one, and his Client, who was a Potatoe Fallor, was employed by Mr. Kemble to make his purchafes ; for this he was to have soot and to guineas a week. For this remuneration his Client gave up a great portion of his own bufirnfs, and dedicated - his time and fervices to the ofe of Mr. Kemble. In about 16 weeks, however, the benevolent inftitution of Mr. Kemble came to a termination, and of courfe his Client gave up the expedecl fool.; but he now claimed payment for 16 weeks Cervices, at to guineas per week, according to agreement. William Buckflone was called, who Rated, that the Plaintiff was a Potatoe Faetor. He rentem beted that application was made to him by Mr. Kemble to matlage his Potatoe Bufinefs for him. He was with Gregory in Mr. Kemble's butcher's fhop, in Honey-lane Market, when he Aced Mr. K. what be was to have for his trouble Mr. K. told him he fhould have to guineas a week for a, conftancy : he could not fay any thing further. Upon his crofs.examination he faid, that he made a memorandum of it. He made it in his father's fhop book. His father kept a haberdifher's fhop in Bilhopfgate-flreet Without. The Conniel for the Defendant defired that he might go m cuftody of an officer to fetch the book, Which the Court dirated. J. Adams proved that the Plaintiff. had done Come bufinefs for Mr. K. He himfelf was employed _ _ by Mr. K. and received from him two gpiieas a week. - Roach (aid, that having a large quantity tlf . Potatoes to difpofe of, Gregory recommended him to Mr. K. who bought the whole. In the courfe of the negotiation with Mr. K. he heard him fay, that it would be a good.thing for Gregory. From the converfation he was led to fuppole that Gre• gory Would get fomewhat about pool. On crofs examination he Paid, he did not know Much about the Potatoe Bufioefs, but he thought 3s. the ton , fulEcient for fa&orage. , Edward Hyades and Andrew Gill, two fervants of Gregory's, Rated generally, that they were em ployed for Mr. K. from the fiat week in Novem ber to the beginning of March. Another witnefs, of the name of Browne, (aid, that he had furnifhed facks for the ufe of Mr. K. to Gregory. The Counfel for the Defendant obferved, that Mr. K. as was truly Rated, bad benevolently en deavoured to alleviate the dilireffes of the Poor in the late feafon of fcarcity, nit by giving them food, but by-enabling them to purchafe it, - by felling it without any profit to himfelf. In one article alone, namely, that of Rice, he gave to the pub lic -pool. which he had an opportunity of profit ing by his bargains in that fpecific article.—He opened alfo a butcher's (hop, and extended his plan to dealing in the fame way in Potatoes.—He was not much (killed in this trade, and it was in this Rate of things, that the Plaintiff offered his (kill and Cervices to Mr. K. to make his purchafes. He accepted them, and they went on, not for the itime the Plaintiff's Witnefies had Rated, hut only for eight weeks, as he would prove, when Mr. K. found that thofe who were employed by Gregory were plundering him—Like ?rafter, like Man So far from Mr. K.'s keeping away the calh that i was jelly due to this Plaintiff, it was his invaria. Me coßom to balance the accounts, and pay all engaged in his feveral concerns every night molt regularly, Gregory had a commiffion to buy all be could at 71. per ton ; but when he met with a good bargain, be ufed Mr. K.'s name and credit, and tent them to his own warehoufe. In other cafe% Mr. K. had them, and they ss ere then fent to his 4 at Guildhall. He &add be able, moR dißinetly, to prove, that he had done fo in the cafe of two cargoes which Mr. K. difcovered by acci dent. When taxed wait it, he acknowledged the figt, and implored torgivends; but it was no won ...that Mr. K. thought it time to put an end to fob a conneßion. He would alfo prove to them that all the eontra&s made by Gregory did not amount to more than 7831. though he now claimed fuch exorbitant recompence for his trouble. His Client had paid pot. into Court, which be was per- 1 funded the Jury would feel to be a fall compenfa tion for any trouble he bad had. The Plaintiff, be (aid, came to Mr. K. in the month of April, attended by Mr. Young, his Attorney, whom he introduced as Mr. Chabot, a great Lincolnfhire Farmer and Potatoe Grower, and then demanded a 501. as recompence for his paR Cervices, which his Client mat wifely refuted. He coseluded by eat • pref Eng his perfea conviCtion of the juliee of liis carte. W. 11. Woodthorpe, a young man who attend:. ed Mr. K. continoally, Paid, from their accounts it appeared, that the whole of the purchafes made by Gregory was 1 1 9 , or 520 tons. Gregory might have fouod out Roach, but in all the other cafes • the fellers had previoufly applied tp Mr. E. He was limited, firft to 61. 1 7.5. per ton, afterwards to 71.. Gregor y employed two men to get the Potatoes from where they were purchafed, but all charges were regularly paid by Mr. K. Gre gor/ gave them in two accounts, the firit on the 59th of Dec. of 871. tos. 4d. deduCtintr, 241. for freight,, and the other, the iSth or . 19th of Jan. of 871. ts. id. Thcfe were paid, him by drafts, the tall on the zoth of Jan. the day when he left the fervice. Thefe were for Cartage, Freight, IMen's Wages, &c. They were id. without ex amination. He wrote the drafts.for them by Mr. i K.'s defire, and fince that period, they had difco , vered that they had been very much overcharged in a variety of articles. He was certain that.ne was not employed before the, tath of Noy..hoe after the zoth of Jan. He was prefent at a meet ing between the Plain i tiff and Derendant in April lull, when Gregory. antradaced a man as a Po-. tatoe Farmer in Lineohaire : be faid bis name was Chabot; he. had teen him in Court %bit morn ing, and now tinderftood he was Young. his at torney. Gregory diet not like to (peak of any ar rangement before the Witnefs; but Mr. K. Gut, he Ihould not leave the room, etpecially 's Gre gory had brought his friend with him. N('he it they fpoke of a reward for Gregory's trouble, he faid, he had been adv:fed to alk fool. but,hi. certainly would not take lets than zgol. Mr. K. appeared very much furprifed at this demand, and refuted to accede to it. Cregory during the time he was employed by Mr. K. was never in the ihop above five minutes at a time, juft to fay what bargains he had made. He was fure that he could not avoid teeing hini, for he was (caret abfent from Mr. K. five minutes the whole time they carried on that bufinefs. He was at his fide frequently from fix in the morning until two the next. Lord RE N Vom raid this was the moll unfounded demand he ever heard. . ... Before the verclia was given the firft Whites Buckftone,- returned, and being alked if he had brought the book containing the memorandum of the contract, he Paid hit lifter had torn it up for simile paper.—Yerdia for the Defendant. Lord KsaYoN told the Witnefs, Buckftone, that he was much, indebted to the lenity of the Defen dant that he was not profecuted for perjury. Fc r his own part be believed him perjured from head to foot; ~ go down," added his Lordfliip, " retie& upon your offence, repent, and fin no more." Yelletday Difpatches were receives at the Ad miralty-Office, from Admiral Lord !Cerra . , dated from Malta, o,ltobcr 31.

Yeflcrday morning Tome detachments of Foot Guards were curdled in firing artillery in Hyde Park. The continued firing of large guns rendered a report very currcnt in town for Tome hours, that an account had been received of the figning of the Definitive Treaty of Peace. . i The paragraph nferted in this and in other pa pers of a Duel having been fought at Blyth, be tween Mr. J.

This very proper rebuke produced the defired die& and we trult thit the example will be adopted in future, whenever the mob take it into their heads to dill compote the performers in the moil important parts of their repreentation.
