the matter for further iniestigatii.n. He
committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial.
Wednesday the question as to the legality of sending out por-
terin quart or pint pots was tried at this office.
Mr. Nares, Mr. Kinnard, and Mr. Richardson, the MiTistratos,
attended to hear and determine the question, which is under an Act
of Parliament of the I nit of Geo. I. The information was against
a pnbliean residing in the parish of St. James, Westminster, char?•
ing him with sending out of his house, to be drank in another In n
a less quantity of porter than one gallon in a pewter or other pot,
and for which offence he had subjected himself to a penalty of 40.,.
for every time lie had sent out such pot or pots.
Mr. Alley attended as Counsel for the prosecution, and entered
very fidly into the history of the Act of Parliament under which
this information was laid, enlarging upon the heavy loses and in-
convenience the Publicans were put to by the custom of sending out
pets, and contending, that the Act had never been repealed, but
was in fttll ((nee.
The fact itself was admitted by the defendant, who pleaded the
enstom.
The Magistrates, after taking a view of all the eiretnnstances of
the case, gave unanimous opinion, that the ..Act was in full force,
and convicted the defendant in the penalty of forty shillings.
The defendant gave notice of his intention to appeal against the
conviction at the ensuing AVestminster Sessions, and entered into a
recognizance for that purpose. After which he asked, if he might
in the mean time, send out beer in less quantities titan a gallon ?
Mr. Alley, in reply, said, that it was the determination of the
Committee of Licensed Victuallers, who had instituted the pre-
sent prosecution, (many of whom were then present in the Office),
to persevere in their intention to put au end to the custom, vitae!'
they considered a great evil.
MANstosr.llovsz.—Application•having been mane by several Publi-
cans in the City to the Loan MAYOR, to know how to act in respect to
sending out pint and quart pewter pots to their customers, some of them
being threatened with informations, the LORD MAYOR, we under-

was conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital in a state of insensibility,
having taken two drachms of opium, which she bad procured from
the neighbourhood of Coram-street ; she was soon relieved from the

greatest hopes of her recovery. Upon being questioned as to the
cause of her committing the rash act, she said that abfint two years
n,,0 she wag seduced, but very soon disliking the way of life, she made
Application to her friends in Hampshire, but without success. She was
induced, from despair and want, to commit the rash act.
