ment, that lie was tint afraid of the charge of immorality,
if he asserted that this youtig woman had some claim to
the compassion of the ;meson with whom she had lived
three years. Sloe wrote a letter, and requested Uisa Evans
to carry it. Miss Evans met the gentleman to whom it
was directed, and offered to deliver it. lie said 11e knew

cot Hest day to the house, and sent the letter by a little
boy, whoa they met on the toad. The letter was refused
by the servant. Soon after the gentleman's valet came
out, and ,t,istel the boy if these were lite women who sent
the letter ? Ile said yes, The valet then declared that
Iris master did not knew them, and, if they did not carry
themselves off, he would semi for a person who would
make them. Mrs. Carey thonglit it right to apply to the
gentleman in person, and met him on horseback. She
attempted to speak to him, lint lie rode past her. She
waited till his return, then went to the door. The valet
sail his master did not know her, but he would send for a
person to take eau eof tier. A constable then made Isis
appearance. lie was a butcher in the town. Ile said
these women wet v his prisoners, and it they resisted he
had something for these, producing two pails lilliandeutls.
'lke butcher took thent away, and tritest...lml theist to a
matt with a cart, who conveyed them to Ilisket's cottage,
a place where pullets were confeleil pi evions to exami-
natiou before the magistrate. There was only one bed in
the house, which was occupied by Baker and Lis wile.
They were left all night withant the means of sleeping,
anti without refreshment. The next day a termer of the
name of Tranchard became answereble for their appear-
mice, and they were permitted to go to the into. Oat them
way there they met the valet, alto asked what business
they hail at large—they were his master's prisoners. Be-

again to the cottage of Baker, and next day mete told
that they must go befiire the magistt ate. Between
three and four o'clock they yawe removed to his
house by the constable, and for the 11141 time the magis-
trate made his appearance. The first question we-•—Are

they were taken to prison. This young woman, who had

the 15th f Oc:uber, and on the 6th of September the magistrate
came rnd ordered their release. On that day the Grand .Jury
were aiming the prison, and it was nut unreasonable to suppose,
said Mr. Pearson, the Giant] Jury would hate ordered her dis-
charge. lie contended that the whole trans-A:nen was illegal' on
the part of die inaiiistrate.

Mr. Justice Best.—Does your clirstlavit state that the magistrate
was Wiling with this Lentlmmo 4t the time the exauunation was
djourned P . .

Mr. Pidirson.—The magistrate stated. that ha had an interview
with this gentleman preceding Cie extuninaticm and that tile
gentleman said he did not know her..

Judge lisyley.—The difficulty we have is in seeing whether
these ha prima facie case against this gentleman.
Pearson.—lle says, when the letter is banded to him by
Miss Evans. ". Oh! I kllOl, who it conies tromp and I will nut
receive it."

Mr..tUrtice Bay ley.—That is tnough : you have also enough
to teach the valet and constable, but you fail with rc-pect to the
fifth person, who receiv..ll them at the cottage; Take your rule
against four.

Mr. Persson acterdingly tank his rule to shew cause why a
rtinnual information should not be tiled against the tour persons

TII6 ZING a. THOMAS GREGORY ND EIGHT OTHERS.'
The defendants upiteared to rreetve 'judgment. found
guilty of a riot and 111.441111 upon two office's of EiChe, ul
Chettealtatn, ou the fist of January lust.
It appeared fr be mites of the Lord Chief Justice, that
two officers of the Earise, named Gladwin and Dogood,
made a seizure of several painted winnow blinds in the shop
of Francis Rawli ~,, un upholsterer. The seizure was made
on the ground that the articles were liable to a duty that
had not been p.sid Other seizures of the same description
were made at the shop of Thomas Boucher. This circuin-
srsoce occasioned considerable opposition, which increased
its a riot. The officers were pelted with stones, and compelled
to seek refuge in the house of Mr. Lucie, of Cheltonhatn, and
that of a German In the same town. The snob followed them
and commenced ato attack on the houses where the officers bud
retreated, throwin.; strums, firing pistols, mud threatening to
murder the officers if they could get theta out. The defen•
darts, who took an active part in tile riot, were much in-
censed against informers, and they appeared to act nnder a
belief ilra the articles seized were not liable to duty. The
Jury found T. Gregory, E. Call, Timmins Boucher, D. Amu•
cher. F. Miss lists, Woe. Rawlins, D. Alder, J. Alder, Wm.
Peill'bey, and George Turk, guilty. E. Call did not appear
on this Oteni;1111.

The utiiiLvits of Gregosy, TllOll. Boucher, and Daniel
Boucher, and the other defendants were read. They de-
clared their total ignorance of the liability of painted blind,
to be seised.

Several respectable persons gave the defendants the cha-
mart er of fair and holiest tradesmen, peaceable and loyal
aultiects.
Mr. Pullen addressed the Court ns counsel fur the tw
brothers maned Alder. Those two individuals hod hithert
borne the mo,t eact Heat chancier. They did not appear
to have tale., an active part in tins disturbance. They were
not aware of what they were doing, and he trawled their
former good conduct would plead in mitigation of punish-
ment. _ . . _

Mr. Twigs expressed a hope that the Court would make a
lenieut distinction with respect to this riot. It was not
one of an aggravated character. John Alder and Thomas
Gregory, were perhaps persons who had pecutiat claims to
the mercy of the Court. Their general character was good;
he therefore entreated for them all the mitigation the Court
could deal out.
- - - -- •

Mr. Ludlow appeared for George Turk and Wm. Peachy;
(ho defendant., he said ,were nut implicated in the origin
of I hi. riot.

Mr. Campbell, as Counsel for the Rantins, said although
Ihe olficeis seized the is indow blinds, the son, 11 illiam
Rawlins offered mil resistance, but suffered the officers to take
them away,
The Lord Chief Justice said, Win. Rawlins was heard to
say, il—n them—pull them out—murder thou.—With regard
that his property had heed seised, under circua.,tances of
hardship. These blinds had been exposed three months
without the least suspicion that they were subject to duly.
Mr. Cruse, in behalf of the Bouchers, rein estated his cli-
ents to be young strailesmeu who had suffered much by the
loss of the articles seized.
. . .

The Solicitor General in aggravation, staled that the ex-
cise officers on this occasion acted with the minuet propriety.
They were doing no more than their duty. With respect to
the situation in life of the defendants, their respectability
might have led them to more correct conduct.
Mr. Justice Bailey sentenced Thomas Gregory to be ha.
prisoued one year in the house of correction, at North Leach;
Thomas Boucher, Daniel Boucher, William Rawlins. and
Francis Rawlins, to be imprisoned one year in the same
house of correction, and to find sureties, themselves iii 2001.
and two others in MI. each. Francis Rawlins um also
Fentenced to pay a line of bOl. Daniel Alder and William
l'enchey were sentenced to he imprisoned four months in the
same house. Joint A!der was old, red to pay a fine of 251.
and he imprisoned si ill, George Turk, in the same house, six
ths, and at the expiration of that timeliud sureties.

IJ,• H. Cooper put iu affidav its fur the defendant. The
first was made by Jane Carlile, who deposed that niter she

the pro:A.(IIH .. and made every possible concession on the
purl or the defendant, end proposed dischar,4ing ban faun
her Pervice, iu case the proccedilLs were stayed.
Richard Carafe, its another niffilev it, deposed that the
defendant had been iii his service sum e deponent

supposed the law officers of the crow n would proceed against
the defelidaiii, while the proplielor of the shop and author
ist the sibyl remained unnoticed by the prosecutors. The
dei 00000 ent further stated, that lie believed the religious prin-
ciples of the defendalit to he differeut from his ;ow is. He
had, however, never made any enquiry respecting those prin-
ciples—all he expected frum the defendant us a servant wag
honesty and integrity.
Several other affidavits gave the defendant the character
of a qeudy moral ) ming man, constant in his attendance at
church.
Mr. Cooper, as counsel for the defendant, addrss,ed the
Court iii mitigation of the seem ity of puuislament. llsi ad-
verted In the affidavits which had been read, and expressed
sena ixe that the Sulicittor.fieueral had litouglit the defi.ll.

eluding that the Solicitor General was under the controul of
