CLERICENWELL SESSIONS, MA 29.

.7,:pflX 1V.11.111yl a timber-merchant, hying on
the Paddingtoi Canal, was indicted fur assaulting
Harriet, his wile.
The Pro..er-trit stated, that she lived separately
from her hn_ .id, since ‘A.upst last, when he
turned hex cut of doors. She nad often quarreed
with her hns.l).(nd before—and had, at one time,
indieleJ him ;',-,r ill-usage, but wag induced to Mr-

another woman into keeping: she went two or three
:Imes to him, to prevail on hint to allow her some-
thing to keep her from starving ; and, on the 22,
of August, which was the last day she called, he
abused and beat her in the most violent manner
which caused such an effusion of blood from her
head, that she faint:xi in the house of one of the
neighbours, where site had been conveyed.
The defence set up by the prisoner was, that the
Prosecutrix had an imprcper conneaion with
another man, but, this not being substantiated, the
Jury found the Prisoner Guilty ; and the Court sen-
tenced him to one month's imprisonment, and to
give security himself in 1001. and two others in 501.
each.
Edward Russell B,ennan, a serjeantia the Eighth
Light Dragoons, was indided for assaulting W.
-Le Chemintne, a serjeant in the Artillety. It ap-
peared, that, on Saturday, the 20th of January, the
Prosecutor was at Covent-Garden Theatre, and
was returning home over Westminster-bridge; a
heavy shower coming on, he went into a public-
house, where he got his supper, and something to
drink ; the Prisoner came into the room, and asked
him whether he knew him ? he said he did not ; but
the Prisoner swore he did; and charged him with be-
ing a Deserter; and, seizing hold of him, drew
his sword, and dragged hits through the street, to
the watch-house, at the Obelisk. The Constable
there refusing to take him in charge, the Prisoner
borrowed a pair of handcuffs, and putting them
on the Prosecutor, immediately dragged him back
the same way, swearing •iolently he would carry
him to the gates of h—ll if be pleased, and would
take a leg or a wing off any person who would dare
to prevent him. He then brought him to the Tilt-
house guard at Whitehall, where he remained until
the Monday morning following. On being brought
before the Justice, he lodged his cowl tint, and the
Prisoner was obliged to put in bail. The Prisoner
was an able well-looking man, and pleaded his own
cause with a great deal of ability. The Jury found
him Gailey,arsti he was sentenced to three months
imprisonment.
Cherlu Joseph Edigam, formerly a Linen Draper
in Bond4treet, was indided for sending a challenge
to J. Sharp, with intent to provoke him to fight a
duel.
It appeared that the Prosecutor and Prisoner had
been in the habit of accepting bills for each other.
The Prosecutor, in consequence of some difference,
disavowed an acceptance which he was called urn
to pay. This produced an open breach between
them, and the Prisoner wrote a letter to the Nose-
cutor, desiring him to call at Mr. Fiachman's, an
Attorney, and settle the Bill. The Prosecutor, not
complying with thi‘ demand, received, on the 18th
of I.)2eniber, a letter from the Prisoner, stating,
th a he had a 1 .1 unlike a Gentleman, and must,
ths.refoi e, appoint a time aud place to settle thematter.
111 a few hours after, he received another lett2r ;
and, the next morning, another, to the same effed.
Counsel, on the part of the Defendant, endea-
voured to make it appear, that these letters did not
imply a challenge to fight a duel, but merely to
settle the money-business between them.
The Jury found him GOO.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE BAITISII PRESS.

Ste—The inclosed letter was sent to a respeaable
Clergyman in Surrey, a few days since, by that
notorious Swindler, Mr. Ltenry Perfect, now to-
der sentence of Transportation to Boany Bay.
Yoar inserting it in your Paper may, perhaps, ope-
rate as a caution to other persons to whom he may
make similar apElications.

Tully has wisely said, and believing that you
think so, I am impelled by distress to relate my
present woes to you. lam the son of the lair Rev.
Henry Peri" who did live at Horsham, and af-
terwards at East Molesey, and he has done duty
for you at 1 am now in the 57th year
of my age, and I was an Officer in the army, and
at the Siege of Belle Isle in the year 1761. In
03ober last, I was tried for a misdemeanour at
Hicks's Hall, and sift/natty sentenced to seven years
transportation. I have been in prison ever since
September last ; since which time I have suffered
bliniincs: and want in the extreme. I am now in
want--all my family dead, except my sister, who is
married to William Douglas, Esq. late of 'l'ed-
dington, in Middlesex, who are nose prisoners in
France, so that I cannot hear from them. lam in
a few days to go on board of ship, to sail for New
South Wales, and my wife is to go with me as a set-
tler. If my father, who was an odd tempered
man, ever offended you, I am sorry for it ; and, 1
trust, you are too good a Christian to punish me
for any thing he mir;lit soy or Js. " Forg iv* us our
trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against
us," are the ernphatical words of our blessed Re-
cLemer ; and I may say in the words of Horace—
', Snit vertu et voce guano' hone lenire dolotern,
Posse et magnum morbi deposers partem."

I am pennyless, deuUttie, and friendless; and, should
you be the " good Samaritan to pour into the
wounded mind some small share of wine and oil,"
believe me, whilst I have life, I shall not omit, in
my morning and evening sacrifices, to pray that
God rr reward yourselt and family with every
hies:in uncertain
. this state of unceriaif, and in the next
life, with the filness of joy, at God's right hand,
where is joy for evermore.
Any thing you may address for me here, post
paid, I shall get safe.
