For running. my Lord; and Polled

Lord F. i.i.csligßoUtill--" What say you to this?
Here is a great deal of simplicity indeed. The
witness says he has been tb3 years in Laudon : I
am Parprierd he has a coat on his hack ; but, not-
withstanding all this simplicity. there is a little in-
clination apparent to he a rogue."

Prosecutor not to lose all his money; yet, after shag
has been stated. of winning and losing, how is he to
recover it ? They had hem:- all enter into a rule

Editor of Bu's's Poor , aws). on the rift of the
Appellant ; and Mr. Psea, Counsel, on
the part of the Respondri ts, who did every Ming
he could fur his thews, the f rlluaing Rule w
laid down by Lord Chief Juati r ELL511111,4011GN:
" To contend di it the Appellant is buuud to re-
duce the rate, is going a runt rxtravaK.rtt length.
Yon prove that he had property iii the ',stria% to 11:e
amount of tic ed. and you assess Imo at the sum of
1501. You might Its well have rated him at 10001.
lint Church-wardens and Overseers cannot be per-
without reason and without proof, first
given by them, to rate a prraon at random, and
to leave them to work his way out of it the best way
he can."
As this is a novel case, we give the determination
thus at large.
