about a quarter of a milt freashthe public-bona& Before we got
there se were joined by the othdt two prisoners, end a man named
Stephens, who has run away. We. all waked to the Common
in one party. We passed the Mouse of Charles Wins. 1 did
not go willingly. 'Just below this house, I was knocked down
by the prisoners; I tried to get away frOm them into the
house, through a gate which is near, but the prisoners seised
me and pulled me away, and ire the struggle, I got hold of the
gate, and held it so firmly that I broke a piece of it off, and
they dragged nie to the open part of the Common. I struggled
as much as I could. and called out for aasistanee, when Jame
Mani put a handkerchief over my mouth. (The witness here
described the offence as committal by David Witte, while the
other prisoners held her.) This was at about nine o'clock. I had
Lad a good deal of liquor, and it had taken effect.
Mr. Juissice LITT f.TTAILY observed, that on this Indictment
only one offence of this kind could be gone into.
kiamination resumed—After the offence had been committed
three women came up; I did rot see Wm. Peat; my clothes
were nearly all torn to pieces; the women took me to their house
at Chalfont Lynch ; I told them what had happened; I staid
there. not being able to mum and in three days I went before the
Magistrate; I knew the prisoners by sight, but never to speak to
them ; I resisted ear much as I could.
Cross-examined by Mr. Twiss.—l tun about 20 years of age.
I stayed in the public-house all the time, from three till near nine.
I was rather tipsy ; I drang nothing but beer and gin and water.
I was treated by other men besides the prisoners. There was an-
other woman there, snd she and I drank with any one who would
treat us. I was merry in consequence of this. I went out with
Hunt, and net before him. I did not sit upon a wall, and wait for
him. I did not go into a stone quarry', and I never said that I
had been there. 1 mean that I was not in a quarry with him, but
with another person, and that was I/avid V. (the prisoner).
This was on the same evening, and after I had come out of the
public.bouse. Witts was wore civil at that time. How
long I was in the quarry 1 don't know; but this was
after the offence for which the prisoners are now trying, Clough
on the same evening. When the offence was committed on
the common, there were a good many people standing near,
olio saw what passed ; and there was a good deal of laughing
and jollification. I did not see any ladies ; but at the time
the offence was committed, there were upwards of a hundred people
on the common ; it was very light. I cried ont, but nobody cams
to help me. None of these men gave me any money, but I some-
times meet with better customers. I have saul that the Magistrate
told me, that if did not appear against these men I should be con.
fined in prison. I visted the prisoners fu gaol, and gave Diva
Witte, and Jesse Beard, sixpence a.piere. A brother of Wites
gave me the sixpences, and said that they would think more of
the money if It was given by me. I know Ephraim Mids. The
prisoners tossed me over a wall like a sack of wheat ; but did not
see Davis there then.
Ite-examined.—lt was about an hour after the offence on the
common that the affair of the quarry took place; that 1 consented
to. When the ofrettee took place on the common the hundred
people who were present were near enough to hear and see one.
Heard's father asked me to visit them in prison.
Examined by the Learned Judge—When Hunt and I left the
public.hause had hold of his arm, and we walked together.
IVhen the violence was used some of the by.standers were as new
es a yard or two of me, and most of the hundred persona were
within a few yards.
Ale. I'OIL POTS rose, and stated. that however anxious the prose-
cutors were for the attainment of public justice, they had no wish
to proceed with a case when no conviction could take plsee.
Mr. Justice LITT LEDALE—If Jury are satisfied the cause
may stop here.
The Foreman of the Jury—My Lord. we think that it would be
a waste of the pnblie time to proceed with this ease.
Mr. Justice LIT T LEDALE—Then, Gentlemen, :Inn will acquit

At an early hour on Wednesday morning the town
presented a display of carriages, filled with glegant females, to
witness the review which was to take place that morning.
At twelve o'clock the &Teem troops arched, and marched for
Dupper's.hill„ to be reviewed by the inspecting Field Officer of the
district, Major.Genml Darley.
At one o'clock the General arrived on the ground, and was sa-
lutes, with the usual honours. The regiments then went through
their evolutions with a degree of correctness that...would have dune
honour to a regular regiment. The tienetal complimented Colonel
Sir Wm. East Jolliffe, on his appointments, and en the efficiency
of his corps. At least 20,000 persons were present, and the Nut.
pages oldie Nobility and Gentry added much to the splendor of
the scene.
After the review, the Colonel invited the regiment to dine at
Merstrom, as it was the last thy of their permanent duty. The
dinner was given at ti.e mansion of the father of the Colonel, and
well known fur its hospitality and hunting recreations. In the
splendid hall covers were laid for 300: and the decorations, under
the direction of Mr. Elsmore, of High-street. Mary-la-bonne, re-
, ils-cts the highest honour on his taste and judgment.

they were indebted for their distinguished and highly-valued Co-

the appointment, as i: would stimulate those gentlemen who had

Captain Taykos, of the Croydon troop, then rose and said, he
had the sanction of the Colonsl to propose a toast. The gentle.
man he was going or propose was not only known to the Surrey
Yeomanry but to the whole of the county; the amiable qualities
of the gentleman he alluded his anions, were the best language
to refer to; he should, therefore, with permission, give • Our

- The Colonel, in returning thanks, said, that it was the proud-
est moment of his life to be selected by so distinguished a body of
gentlemen of independence, and whose well-known loyalty was,
highiy appreciated by their Sovereign. He would, on his part, do
his duty in the high situation in which he was plated, and prove Mt
his comrades 'list their election was not ill made.
The Color.el then proposed the health of Major Roars.
The Major returned thanks.
Air—" Scots wine hc'e." •
The health of Captain NVaiher was then drank.
The Captain, on returning thanks, said, he was no recruit, haw.
ing been in the regiment 22,years. This was the happiest day of
his life. His feeble efforts were crowned to his utmost wishes,
especially by the cordiality that subsisted between every member
of the corps.
The health of the recruiting Captain Taylor was then proposed.
The Captain, in returning thanks, said, he had only enlisted 40
during the last three weeks, and calculated on as many 1110141 in the
course of the month. (Loud applause.) His recruits, to whom
they were indebted for their vocal talents, would be equally es.
dent in the field as they were at the convivial board.
The company did not retire till a late hour, highly gratified at
the cordial and noble entertainment of their worthy Colonel.
