Yeller(la* the London Seffions commenced at Guildhall, before the Loan MILYOk, Rscoaxixa, and City Officers. Lisa Lim, and his wife, were indleed for falfely imptifoning Hannah Baekrow. Tt appeared that Lions lived in Petticoat Lane, where a quarrel oc curred between the profecutrix and the defendants. On application being mAde to the Lord Mayor, at the Manfion Houfe, for iedrefs, they were adrifed to re. fer their difpute. Afrerthe evidence had been heard, the RECORDhIt obferved, the profecutrix had been im prifoned by regular procefs, confequently there was nr falfe imprifonment. If perjury had been commit- ted by the defendants when they fwore to an afrault, and the profecutrix was held to bail, there was reme dy to be had ; but in the prefent inßance the defen dant mufk be acquitted. The Jury found him Not Guilty. Several other affaulis were tried, of no importance. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. efterdat Edward Upton, Anne his wife, and Mary lieryon, were indiaed for •iolently affaulting a Mr. Glooer, who keeps the Star public•houfe in the City road. Mr. Glover, the Profecutor, being (worn, nate& that on the day mentioned in the indietenent, about three in the afternoon, the pt Wooers came to his houfe, and firlt called for fome gin, which they drank—they then called for a crown bowl of punch, which he, feting therti already ton much intoxicated, refuted to give them. They were fo angry at this, that all of them fell upon him, pulled him down to the floor, and while Upton and his wife were beating him with their fills, Mary Hurllon, who is the wife of a Mal ter Butcher, beat time on his head with her pate en. This performance was accompanied with all manner of verbal abufe. He was at length extricated from the violence of their attack, by the accidental en trance of a friend and et:lamer. But Mary Hul 1-ton flew at him again with the ferocity of a tygrefs ; kicked him about the belly ; and, with all the energy of (laughter-houfe eloquence, threatened to tear out his pluck. In fupport of this ilatement two other witneffes were adduced, from whole teflimony, it appeared, that Mrs. Hurliton (certainly a very able-bodied Gent/etymon) :stied in to formidable a Rile of ferocity, as to render any approach to her extreMell danger ous. Some hackney coachmen, who fat on a table in the tap-roorti, prefumed to laugh at her ; but at one broke of her till the (wept them all off the table like flies. The Prifoners adduced no evidence, but told the Rory in a quite different way.

Mrs. Ewer, a Cytherean Prieefi, whore manGon is the corner of Lifle.llreet and Leicefier-flreet, was in dieted for keeping a diforderly houfe. She was advifed by her Counfel to plead guilty to the charge, the proofs of which would be irrefragable, if (he ventured to go to trial, and to enter into recog nizance to quit the hook immediately, and not let it to any perfon who fhould occupy it for the like immoraPpurpofes. Mrs. Ewer was Co attached to her mention, that it was lime time before the could be induced, even by the perfualion of her Courifel, to quit it, but Paid (he would keep it as her private relidence—the Court, however, would hear of no compromife of this fort ; and the Lady was reluelantly obliged to fubmit, ac knowledging a recognizance for scoot. and liable to be called up to receive the judgment of the Court next Seflion, in cafe of non-compliance. A young man, named Ccx, was indi&ed for affault ing Thomas Leverton, EN. of Bedford-fquare, one of the Worfhipful Bench of Juflices for the County of Middlefex, in the execution of his duty, in Lincoln's Inn Fields, in July lab.

He felt it his duty, as a Magiitrate, to command the peace, and tell the mob to difperfe, faying he was a Magiltrate, urn which the two parties, who were before engaged with each other, turned up,,n him, feized him by the col lar, tyre his (hint and coat into ribbands, both of which he exhibited in the Court. The young man at the bar, be laid, was one of thole perfons who thus affaulted him. Upon crofs-examinatinn by Mr. At..

He owned he had been charged by the par ties on the watch, but was liberated as loon as the ssa•climan was tild hi: was a Magitli are. The firvitnt of Mr. &Jane, of LinciAn'.
