charged with assembling, in cqmpane with many
others, and raising • riot opposite the house of a
gentleman, beloagine to the protes.ioa of ti • law,
who lives in ttiat neighbouroial.
Ile complainant stated,, that he had a small
!louse and garden, adjoining the ground belonging
to the Boot Inn, at Sonnets-town. He had, he
said, been very often annoyed by children, who, for
what reason, he could not tell, made a praSice of
throw' ins stones into his garden. On Monday,
many of them were assembled, in the usu.il way,
and tiegan to tear down his fence. For the pur.
pose of frightening them, he brought out a gun.
and presented it at them,when thayimmediatily ran
away. A number of men, sho were in the bowl-
ing-green, at the Bmt !nn, then came up, and be.,
gin to abuse him, and throw stones at him. Ammg
these, be saw the waiter, and beard him inform the
other risen, that it was a law)er that owned the
ga-den. They all then set up a shoot, and
called out, Mr. Lariat, you may as well
make your MI, foe we will selvena you iLto
the other world." Several times he attempted to
expostulate with them. but all in vain ; when be
came nide to them, they threw mud or stones a:
him.
To a question put by the M aorsra arr. he an-
swered. he did not see the waiter throw any thing
at him, but saw him serving those that were throw-
! ing with drink.
The !flirter, in his defr.sce, said, that be was ob-
liged to serve the cnnyary on his master's re-
mises with chink, wheneeei they those to call I r
it, and I.e had done no more u this day. With
respift to what the complainant had said of has
'telling the men.. that the garden belonged to a
lawyer, be saki', he did it 'An of a good Trustier., as
he ti.ought it weekd be an indacement to therr.
desist.
'he Ms c ;ire re was of opinion, that there was
nothi!ig mach coul4 attach guilt on the waiter, as
he had in fall done no more than his way, by serv-
ing the company on his master's ;itemises with li
quor ; lie was therefore discharged, with a caution
to disc%ernte.tance all such proceedings for die fu-
ture.
