Mr. GURNEY having opened the indiament, Mr.
Serjeant SIiEI'IIERD stated the circumstances of the
case. He observed, that it had long been the prac-
tice of various persons to undress and bathe Aso near
to the houses and within view of the inhabitants of
the town of Brighton, that at length many respell
able persons had associated themselves into a Com-
mittee, to prevent Such an indecent ,nuisance. They
had accordingly met and pointed out the liMits_
within which persons not using machines might
bathe in the sea, and in general most periions ac-;
quiesced in their resolution. In order, however,
that no person might complain of any hardship, they
resolved that 'all persons who were invalid 4; and to

application to the Committee, which would entltle
them to the use of a machine • gratis.. And still

a ,but on the beach, 'wherein any. person might un-
dress himself under cover. Notwithstanding these
different accommodations, the Defendant, who was

reasonable regulations, but obstinately persisted. in
