BARB ARITIESs The following is an instance of cruelty to an anOtzl. that ex c - eds every thing the most savage monster, in the 'line of man, has ever dared ti execute in a Christian countfy. About three weeks ago, a person, who had hitherto passed under the denotnination of a gentleman, in the county of Essex, and residing not far out of the high road from London to Chelmsford, on his ho; se starting , with him, struck hitn most violently.with his whip, and in cohiequence the animal reared up and threw hire. On Reding up, the rider whipped him us lung as lie was able, and then taking him home into the stable, renewed the beating, with the assistance of his son, and conti nued it viith so much severity, that the poor animal broke trom his halter, and, in his agony and terror, rushed through the sta ble door, Which was torn in pieces. .His merciless assailants pursued him into a small yard, and there again fe:l upon him, Arta after lashing him till they were tired, went within doors fur some refreshment, that the masier *tight wreak a further ven geance on his animal. The barbarotli assault was soon recom nienced, and after long continuance the maddened animal flew at some high paling, but in this desperate attempt to escape, he broke both his fore Legs just aboVe the fetlock joints', and in stantly fell I Jt „might naturally be suppesed, that the Trott bru tal weft. iieslkblit4jukve been sitiatitd ; but far sfilteriviiiki ;h.

We are authorised to acquaint the public, that the accounts published in some of the London Papers, reTectin., the to common barbarity used towards a horse, by a gentleman anti his son residing near the high road between London and Chelms ford, is a fabrication by some person who must be much more vile than the character (supposing tiwni to exist) there traduced, in attempting to harrow up the feelings of humanity by such an atrocious detail. We are desired to add that the death of the horse was pearly instantaneous, and it was much more humane to destroy, than ti sutler it to exist, under all the ctrcurnsanees duo really occurred, and which were the effect of accident."--. Chelmsford Chronicle. Tile following distressful event took place lately in Norfolk —.\ poor girl, al,ullt 17 years of age, pregnant and very near her time, left her service to go to her friends, at some distance.. Finding herself in labour, she apvlied at several places on . the road, and was refused accommodation, through the fear of her becoming burthensome to the parties. At length she delivered herself in a corn-field, where, shocking to relate, she rern.iired from the Saturday till the Wednesday following, with the infant wrapped in her under-coat, and which she used every nu ans in her power to keep alive; herself subsisting entirely upon the ears of corn, &c. which she could pick up. The ui.foi tunate creature then endeavoured to crawl home with the child, and reached the place, with the assistance of some per on who met her on the road. The infant died some days atter ; and the un happy motlier, by kind treatment, is likely to survive. On Saturday a labourer, named White, while seeki•ig his cows in a field near Canterbury, heard something' in a hette, and, on advancing towards it, perceived one Brasier with a quantity of wheat, which he suspected he had stolen, and on stooping down to look at-it, Brazier seized ,him with one hand, and cut his throat with a knife in the other. The poor man with difficulty crawled home, but is not expected to recover. Brazier returned home, and told his wife what he had done, saying, " All is sate," from an idea that White Was dead ; find, ing that, however, not to be the case, he decamped, and has not since been heard of. - - At the Warwick Assizes Wm. Wilks, for having four wives was sentenced to seven years trunsportation.—Joini Oughron and Charlees Lee were tried for the murder of Richard Whit tba, at. Kenilworth, in 1790-0110 ton was acquitted, and Lee /bug guilty of Manslaughter. J TtEGISTFR • i" 41* Ibt ... n. 0 In Bfirdering lmming D in iniitat. Dimensions, &c.
