For remedy whereof it . is enacted, that from and after the 25th day of December 1662, no person or persons whatsoever shall direaly or indirettly use, exercise, continue or set up the said Trade, Art, or Mystery of a Silk Throw s ter, within the Realm of England, unless such as are or shall be Apprentices to the said, Trade, or shall have served Seven Years Apprenticeship thereto at the least, upon pain that any person , so offendiog contrary to this Aa shall pay, forfeit, and lose the sum of forty shillings for. every month the said person shall so use or exercise the said Trade ; the one moiety thereof to the use of his said Majesty, his Heirs, and Successors, and the other moiety thereof to such person or persons , as shall sue for the same in any of the Courts of Record within this Realm of England, or before any of the Justices of Oyer and Terminer, or the ,Justices of the Peace at the Quarter . Sessions of the Peace, by Astion of .Debt, Bill, Plaint or Informa tion, or by any other lawful ways or means what_ . soever, wherein no Proteaion, Wager of Law or Essoign shall be alloWe'd." There is a provisd in this Statute, allowing the Company of Silk Throwsters to set on work any per. son or persons being native Subjeas of His Majesty and no other, whether they be Men, Women, or Children to turn the Mills, tie the Thread, &c. as they had been used to do, although such persons shall not have served or'been bred up as Apprentices to the said Trade of Silk ThroWing for seven year's. The Defendant carries on the business of a Silk Manufaaurer in Spital Square, in the Liberty of Norton Falgate, in the County of Middlesex, in Partnership with Messrs. Thudswell and Gardner, under the Firm of Thudswell, Thorpe, and Gard ner ; Mr. Thudswell residing in the Country, and Thorpe and Gardner in Spital Square. About June 1802, the Defendant and his Partners purchased three pair of Silk Mills and their Imple ments, used in the art of Silk Throwing at Wat ford in Hertfordshire, and carried on there the Trade of Silk Throwsters, and also at the House in Spiral Square ; and lie was not authorized so to do by the provision of this Statute, he not having served his Apprenticeship to this Trade as the At requires. The Defendant paid Workmen, super. intended the Work, &c. so that there was no doubt upon the fad. Mr. ERSIC I lig, on the part of the Defendant, ob served, that these antiquated and useless Statutes were truly considered by liberal persons as justly obsolete, and that there would be no Such thing as carrying on the Trade it they were to be inforced to the Letter, for which 'reason Judges had of late years pulled against them'ias strongly as they could, without violating their Oaths to administer the Law, and this species of discretion in the whole. some administration of Justice, had been acquiesced in by the Legislature, for if they were not executed with great delicacy, they would destroy the very objea for Which they were originally enatled—ne. 'vertheless they had been suffered to remain on the Statute. Book, in the hope and under the understand ing that they were little more than a dead letter ; to execute them with rigour would be destruttion. This, Statute was wise for the time it past, but cir cumstances had so altered, that it was no longer so. At the tune of Elizabeth, a little before the passing of this Aft, Silk Throwing was hardly known in England, and so scarce were Silk Stockings, that it appeared by a Letter now extant, in the hand. writing of that illustrious Queen, ELIzABETH, her self, that she borrowed a pair of Silk Stockings to dress to give audience to the Spanish Ambassador. This Statute was past when the Silk Trade was next to nothing to what It had become since, and that Trade had again decayed. He observed, that the trade was now carried on in a manner as if the Statute had never passed, and that thousands and thousands would be undone, if there were to be no Masters except such as had served these long apprenticeships ''who were permitted to em. ploy men. He called a Witness, whO proved that he had taken ,apartments of a Master, who was qua lified by. this Statute to employ men, and paid a guinea and a half per week for them—worked for that Master, or any other who would employ him, and he did not consider himself bound to confine himself to the employment of 'that Master, but that he was at liberty to work for any body : but the CII lEF JUSTICE observed, that this did not alter the e:ise ; this person thought he had• a right to LONDON: Printed by LIJ C lIANAN I LLAN, (of Bow-:street, Covent-Garden); and Ikublished by ARM/ 01 " SCMPi t of South MOlUM.Street, GrOVVenOr.9ntwpl.

Charing-Cross, London, who is Agcnt for the Army of Reserve, accompanied by an account specifying the names of the Substitutes to whom the Bounties are due, the principals for whom they respectively serve, and the subdivision for which they are enrolled. And I am to inform your Lordshir, that Mr. Ridge will be direaed to give priper receipts and discharges fur the money which may be so remitted to him, and he will account for it to the Paymasters of the diar ent Corps in which the-men are aaually serving. I think it likewise necessary to apprize your Lordship, that I have reason to think that the same ground of complaint exists, in some instances, among the Regiments of Militia; and I have to desire that your Lordship will exert your authority to oblige the Subdivision Clerks to remit whatever money may be in their hands on that account, as direaed by the Ad of ?ornament; and it should be generally and dis tinaly understood, that in all cases where the Clerks of the Suhdivions shall persist in retaining in their hands the Bounties due to the men enrolled in the Army of Reserve, or in the Militia, they will he proceeded against with the utmost rigour of the law. I think it proper, to take this opportunity, of re. ferring your Lordship to my Circular Letter of the 26th December last, in which I, had the honour of communicating to you His Majesty's commands, and of announcing His Majesty's just expraation, that your Lordship and your Deputy Lieutenants, and all others concerned, would use the utmost ex. ertions in forwarding the completion of the levies for the Militia and Army of Reserve in the According to a very late Return which I have received from Lieut. Gen. Hewett, Inspdlor Gene.. r4l of the Army of Reserve; I am extremely con. cerned to perceive that the deficiency which remains to be supplied by the amounts to In the present most important and critical con. junaure of public affairs, when an immediate and formidable attack upon our independence and exist ence as a Nation is threatened by a powerful and implacable Enemy, I think it my duty most earnest ly to call again upon your Lordship to use your best endeavours, and to exert your utmost influence to provide for the completion of the full quota of the with the least possible delay. I am sorry likewise to observe that the deficien cies in the Militia are by no means inconsiderable, and I cannot permit myself to doubt that your Lordship's zeal and alacrity will be devoted to the completing of this important branch of the National Force, as well as of that which I have before ad. vetted to. Impressed with the great importance of the sub je6t to which I am now commanded to call your Lordship's attention, I think it necessary to inform your Lordship, that it ,is the decided intention of His Majesty's Government to ,put into execution, without further delay, all those provisions of the Law which are calculated to enforce, in the most efficacious manner, the completion of the levies for which the Legislature has provided, and which the pressing interests of the Public so urgently require.

MY LORD, Referring your Lordship to my Circular Letter of the ultimo, I have now the honour of ac.. that in order to prevent any- delay quainting you, which might atise in the execution of the measures therein recommended, His Royal flightless the Commander in Chief has authorized the Generals commanding Distrias, to defray the exrence of numbering the Waggons, and of 'providing the Seats to be slung upon them in case of emergency. As the expence also of such Carriages as may be thought necessary for the use of the Volunteer force will be defrayed by the Public, it 13 presumed that the Lieutenancy will, find no difficulty in allotting such as are most fit for the purpose, especially as it . is not intended, when the allotment shall ,have been made, that either Carts or Waggons sh(iUld be di verted from their ordinary use, until the exigency of affairs shall require it. In order the more of eetually to insure the regu. far attendance of the Members of Volunteer Culp at InspeEtions, I am to inform your Lordship that His Majesty's pleasure has Leen signified to the Se cretary at War, that to all such Corps of Volunteer Infantry as do not receive any greater allowances than those granted on the 3d of August 1803, there shall he paid one day's pay, of the same rate with the Militia when at annual exercise+, to each Non commissioned Officer, Drummer and Private who shall be present on the day of inset lion of his Corps by any General or Inspetling Field Officer over and above the 2os. per annum for Training and Exer cise already allowed ; provided that such InspeCtion shall not happen oftener than once in two months, and that such issue shall be made on a Return of the el_ feBive numbers present under arms signed by the Commanding,Officer, and certified by the General or TospeCting OiEar by whom the Insrealon shall be made.

Jahn Palmer and Sarah Hudson were tried upon the capital charge of feloniously publishing and ut tering as true, a certain fiaitious Bank of England note fur the payment of zl. knowing it to be forged and counterfeit, with intent to defraud John Shaw, Sze. It appeared in the course of the evidence, that the female Prisoner tendered the note to Mr. Shaw, the Prosecutor, a linen-draper in Newgate-street, but the affair was immediately detested, and she found means to escape at the time. In a short in terval after this, the Prisoner (Palmer) called upon the Prosecutor, and insisted upon having the note back again. The Prisoners were then apprehended, and it appearing, by what transpired in the evi dence, that Palmer had had some dealings in fabri cated notes previous to the present transaction, the Jury were induced to find him Guilty, Death. The woman was acquitted. Abram Cohen was charged with a capital offence, in feloniously stealing; cn the 26th of January, three watches, value 51. the property of Daniel Windsor, in his dwelling-house. The Prisoner, one of the tribe of Israel, it ap peared, went on the day mentioned in the Indict. meat to the shop of the Prosecutor, who is a sales man : he desited to look at, some watches, and was shewn- a lot of them ; not satisfied with that, he desired to look at two or three different lots, in or der, as. he said, that he might• choose out of a va riety. A number of watches were accordingly shewn him, but he bought none ; and shortly after the Prisoner went away the three watches in ques. tion were missed. Not long after A this proceeding, it appeared the Prisoner sold a-watch, together with an old-fashioned necklace, to a -pawnbroker and salesman in Ryder's Court, Leicester-fields, for which he gave him a guinea and an half. The in trinsic value of the watch was estimated by the pawnbroker to be about five or six-and twenty shil lings. This watch was produced, and was posi. tively sworn to by the Prosecutor as one of those he missed soon after the Prisoner had overhauled his watches. No satisfaCtory defence being offered by the Pri. soner, the Jury found him Guilty of stealing to the value of 395. which did away the capital part of the charge. John Cooke, an elderly man of genteel appear ance, was indiaed for stealing, on the 16th Fe bruary, a key, value 63. the property of William Green. It appeared that the Prosecutor is a tailor, and lives in Finch-lane, Cornhill ; between twelve and one o'clock on the above day,. the Prisoner was seen skulking behind the door of the Prosecutor's house in the passage with the key of the door in his hand ; he was seen by the Prosecutor's apprentice, who gave the alarm : the master, &c. hurried to the spot, when he was observed to slide the key down by his side. On being questioned, he said he came to in.. quire for Mr. Patterson, who he said lived there ; however, no such person did live in the Prosecu tor's house, nor did he know of any person of the name in' the neighbourhood. A Constable wa s j rn _ media tely sent for, and the Prisoner given in charge to him. The complexion of the case appeared to the Jury to lie such as to induce them to pronounce an imme diate verdid of—Guilty. Tho:vs Renard was charged with stealing, on the 27th of . January, a pewter quart pot, value sod. the property of John Martin. It appeared that the Prisoner was observed by one of the Witnesses (a Police.oflicer) early in the fore noon of the above day,, in Leadenhall_street, with something bulky under his jacket ; Iv immediately questioned him as to • the matter, when not liking his answer, be.proceeded to. search, and found the quart pot in question. It was easily traced to the Prosecutor's, by whom it was recognized. The Prisoner said he found it in the street. The Prose. tutor admitted it might possibly have been placed, as pots sometimes are, near the door of the house. The RICORDER took occasion to observe, that if the Prisoner took the pot from such a situation, it was just as much a felony as if he had stolen it in the house ; it ,was well known a parcel of fellows went' about watching the doors of public houses in order to commit depredations of the kind. Thomas Robson and Joseph Collins were convift ed on d charge_ of feloniously stealing a large quan tity of paper, writings, 'books, and effeas, in the . Navy-Office, the property of our Lord the King. These Prisoners, it appeared, had been employ ed in the. Navy Pay-Office ; a quantity of the pa_ pens stolen were sold by them to a cheesemonger in, Drury-lane. . Among the papers, it appeared, were a number of accounts transmitted to the Admiralty by Officers in the service. Previous to this detec tion, the Prisoners had borne the most unexcep tionable charalers. jam Spencer was convicted of stealing a lamp from the chamber staircase of No. 14, Clement's. inn. It appeared that this kind of depredation has been very very frequent of late. Two brothers, privates in the Shropshire were;sonie days. since buried at Yarmouth in the same grave; one died of excessive drinking of spi ri!s, and the other of drinking water while ill with the measles.
