CLERKENIVELL SESSIONS, Arkir. iG.

William Bore, a man between sixty and
• a ~
seventy years of age, was indicted for assembling,
with many others, and, raising -a ;:ot on the ioth of
December, at the house -of William Longford, a
Loal Merchant, near the •Coinnieccial- Road. •

The sole caire of this dreadful business was,
" Woman, lovely woman !" The Defendant, it
was stated, was. desperately in love, and had been
-wooing the present wife of the Prosecutor for no
:less a space than ten years, before she had entered
into the marriage state.. He was. credulous, and
either really was, or conceived he was, encouraged
by'the fair Lady, In consequence of this, in the
mouth -of 'November :last, he. employed one of the
most fashionable :tailors in London to mak his
medding,Clethes; and' also purchased some band-
spine nuptial presents-, for his dearly beloved. All
things went on 'very well ; but when. the poor Gen-
tleman desired the Parson tc.),call him and the
,Lady.
in Church, be was, to' his utter, astonishment, in-
formed that the Lady Was to be married the
in g Sunday to Mr. Longford, the Prosecutor in this
A6.tion. ;He could scarcely however;Alie'
fa& was-s 0 : Mr. Longford wks on that day married
to the only .woman' on earth With whom the De-
fendant etuldeXpeel a moment of happines4.
Mr. Longford and some other'Witnesses deposed,
,that about eleven o'clock.on the night
,of the day
that hp,il,lr. Longford, was married, the Defendant,
came to.bia.boyse, and commenced. a violent knock--
ing at the door'; rio words or entreaties could pre-
vail on him to leave the., place, and at length the
watchman was culled, and took him into custody.
The Defendant, made use of many words which
could not be mentioned in Court; but it was, stated,
that be often exclaimed, " I love her to distt'aetion,
,•but still I could,plant a dagger in her heart, merely.
because I love her." The Prosecutot• gave his evi-
dence with much precision ; he hlso teas a man be-
tween sixty sad seventy years of age; but not more
than a year or two .older than the Defendant.
lewitching fair one, who was the cause of all this,
disturbance, was herself in Court; she appeared to
he above fifty. 811 e seemed much interested in the
event of the Trial. •

The evidence being,cinsed, the CITAIRMAN in-
formed the Jury, that this could not be considered
a riot, as -t-;iere was but one concerned in making
the noise. The Jury, therefore, acquitted-the De-
fendant.

for it. Jones, the Grave-digger, -I:VaS then. called,
but he stated, that he did not reinember one word
of the transaelion ;' and, in short, contradieted -the
other. Witnesses in every particular. Ills deposl-
tion, which he had signed before the Magistrate,
and which was quite contrary to what he now &aid,
was produced to-him; but he sWoreAiositively that
'when he signed it .b&was not in his senses, and that
it was not true. •

The ChliamAN then informed the Jury, that the
law in such a case as this did not riermit the De-
fendant to be found guilty, as the Witnesses being
thieves them-selves, had no other Witness to corro-
borate them, nor did tlicy even corroborate each
'other. The Defendant was Acquitted.

from Ford, a game-lecher, in Leicestershire, re-
tufned an answer, inviting him to combat for a sunk
not less than 200 guineas. Ford arrived in town,
last Thursday, to otter to stake .t.) guineas ; but the
champion was at 'Briitol. The countryman, on
hearing of this, expressed a desire to fight for a glass
of gin. FOrtunately fix- him the Chicken was not in
town before he set oil for Leicestershire, which he
did on Saturday, or possibly he might have 'been in;
dulged with a set-to for love. ' Ford stands about
five feet' 1 i inches,- but he does not appear to have
been cast in a mould forfighting.
