" The E trl of Kerry has resigned the appoint-
ment of Governor of the County of Kerry, by a let-
ter of considerable length to the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, in which his Lordship expresses the most
anxious apprehensions for the fate of this Empire ;
not from any foreign or demritic enemies, but from
the rapidly increasing in.ifidity of the Times, and the
cunsegnent dangers which he thinks menace the
E,tablihed Religion ; on the nutintenanco of which,
in its genuine and unadulterated purity, his Lordship
very justly considers all our hopes of a continuance
of the favour and proteflion of God, and the security
of British subj -Els of every denomination, for their
liberties, their lives, and their propLaies, above all
things, to depend."

OLD BAILET.—JAs. 17.

Janes Williams, a man of respectable appearance,
was bound Garrity of being at large in this country,
he having been transported for seven years at a
former Session. The Prisoner had escaped from the
hulks, at Woolwich, two years and a half ago.—
He had since been serving as a Petty Offi:er, on
board the Three r, ie r tender, Lieutenant Clarke,
on the Isle of Man station, and he had a letter in his
possession, (min the Lieutenant, to satisfy the Ceurt
on that subjed.
The Jury recommended the Prisoner to continue
in the service of His Majesty.
Baron fsl'llokm.o said, that attention should be
paid to their recommendation
"ohm Kraal was indided for a rape upon Flits.
beta Winter. The prosecutrix stated, that she lived
in the service of a Mr. Lae, who keeps an eating.
house in Son.creet, Manchester square. On the
evening of the sth of January, witness went to bed
at ten o'clock, in the kitchen, with two of her mas-
ter's children, who always slept with her. The pri-
soner was a lodger, and slept in the back parlour,
and every room was occupied by lodgers, excepting
the front parlour, where the master and mistress
slept About one o'clock in the morning witness
was awakened ►y a man, whom she bland in bed
with her, and she screamed out, and strove to awaken
the children, but in vain. The testimony of the
peosecutrix was not corrobetated by circumstances,
and the Jury acqiiitt,d the prisoner, on the grounds
that the prosecutrix had not given sufficient alarm.
The Marquis of Headfort, Earl of Fingal, and Col.
Plunkett, gave the prisoner an excellent character.
Alice Gay was ti ied and found Gitiliy of stealing
three pair of stockings, in the shop of Thomas
Lodge, No. 75, Oxford-street. The Prisoner, who
was tar advanced in pregnancy, went into the Pro.
securor's shop, under pretence of buying different
articles in which he dealt, and availed herself of an
opportunity to secrete three pair of black silk stock.
inga in her muff. The Prosecutor damned her,
upon which she fell on her knees and begged for
mercy ; he. 'however. determined to prosecute her.
Upon his cross-examination, it appeared, that he
wished to have what is called a Tyburn Ticket, which
gives an exemption from certain parochial duties,
and he a,l mitred, that had the Prisoner he. n capi-
tally convided, he should have applied for such
Ticket.
CLERKt. AWE i.L SESSIONS.

Saturday Wm. Afedburst was inditied few an
assault on Jane Gable, with intent to commit a rape.
—1 he defendant WAS a hair-dresser, and the pro.e-
cutris, a young girl about 14, went to his shop for
the purpose of having her hair cut. He took her
into a parlour, and there behaved in a manner which
left no doubt of his criminal design.—.on her cross-
examination it appeared, that the girl had conduaed
herself with much levity ; particularly in writing a
letter to the defendant of an improper tendency,
and unfit for a modest female to indite. Tile Court
accordingly stopped all further proceeding., and
dir. a:d the defendant to be artp.ited.
Articles of the Peace were exhibited against Mrs.
Mary Ann Hunt, by her husband, for conduaing
herself with incontinency, and threatening that
while she lived he should ha►e no peace. She was
ordered to rind bail.

Three men, a shoemaker, a sailor, and a tailor,
applied to the Court (or leave to become preachers.
On being interrogated by the Chairman, they said
that they had not been brought up at either of the
Universities, but they had an earnest desire to dif-
fuse Christian knowledge to the unenlightened part of
society. They only wished to preach the Gospel in
the county of Middlesex. The Chairman referred
the petitioners to the Clerk's Office.
