..lII' REPORT.

t3U.RT OF ,ri.lNG's BENCH:FEB. 26.

WELLS _V. PARKER.

This \r .s a tarn action on a.chaige.of usury.
Tie. DeLndant is a Pawnbroker and Silver'swit!l iii
Fleet-street. •

r. Gikanow stated, that a Mr. Tuther, who
would,give evidence in this cause, having 'become
embarrassed, applied to the Managing Man of the.
Defendant to know if his Master would a.;,:st
taking-up-a...Hi for (501. if he should leave goods as
a security. He was desired, to leave the goods ler in-
.spedion, and to next day ; in consequence
of which twenty-two p:Obs ofirish linen, value 1071.
and six pieces of printed cotton, value. t were depo-
sited. The'money was advanced; and it will be seer;
that aeliargenf interest enormously usurious was made.
It could not be- contended, that for the ads of the
managing man-Mr. Parker was not-responsible :
iu-
deed,the.testimony would- shew, that the .Defendant
joined in the. very.ads to complete this otnnce. To
prevent evasion; the law was cautious in fixini the
principal with the transadions of his servant, other-
wise the penalties would beeluded in a thousand wal s'.
Thus stolen goods might be received by means of a
cupboard turning on a pivot, the goods might be laid
on' the shelf, and the money be paid yr:lli-out any
living agent ; and' so the changes might he mad, ,
as with that little' mechanical contrivance of tile !nazi
and Woman by which fair or foul weather aic Pre,-
dided. Mr. Tuther, thinking it probable that, a
time would come .when the Defendant. would
called to account for this instance of oppression, kept
a memorandum of what passed ; ,end although he ci,J
not set clOwn Mr. Parker's name, the Jury would ilk',
mit he had„seleded a very apropriate • one,
was'nb.other than Sir FranciiGripe ! Mr. Tuthev.,-;
Trustees had recommended Lis coming here, aeyd
would not receive the Money which Might be
covered on this occasion for himself, but he r,-
honourablywould apply it to the benefit of all. his
Lis:lin-4s. •

After Mr. PAAKE, on the part of the Defendant,
had examined the witness as
.to his interest 10 ill,:
result of his own evidenCe; the Learned Counsel took
n ohie&ion to- Mr. Tuther's competency, which
was over-ruled by hts•Lordship.
Mr.. Tuther then deposed to the fa&s stated in the
opening of Mr. GARROW, On the 14th of May,
1805, he made the deposit Ofgoods, and on the t sth
he received ()Oh
_in a check upon the Defendant's
banker. On the 23d ,of the same month he with-
drew the cotton, paying 81. and, further ten shillingi
interest for the loan in the interval.. On the 29th of
Angei4 fie applied for a farther loan, and having de;•
posited sixteen quantities (not whole pieces) of
tie 4; he received 34)1. for which be had two duOlicates
for.fsl. each. With the former he bad no duplicates:.
Fearing-the linens would be forfeited for want of timely
40-Cation, be went on the 26th of November to re-
deem theni, when he was informed that a month or
two could make no difference if he paid the interest.
Then he paid 51. 45.. for interest, which was at the
rate of ,4d.-per month per pound, from the 3d of :Way
to the 23d November, or 175.-4 d. per iiionth. On the
Ist of February, 1800, he went again to redeem the
Irish linen and dimity. At this time the two loans
retrninijig tnsettled were, die-one of the other
of 301;on which the amount was made up the same
as before, •constituting an account for interest of 51.
2s. of which, however, •he only paid 51.
William Tuson,-the Banker's Clerk,. was called to
prove the payment of Mr. Parker's check for (Jul. oil
e7.e i sth of May, 1805.
Mr. PAIIKE, for the Defendant, reminded • the
Jury, that they were sworn to give a verdi& accord-
ing to•the 'evidence, and not to admit it.' to be at all
'varied 'by their opinion of the condu& either of Mr.
Tuther yr the' Defendant,. these transaaions.
the ground of several, technical objeAions, which
it is not material to explain, the Learned CounstA
disposed of- all the counts excepting' ,the Niir
and fourth, and the applicability of these. de-.
pended on the opinion the Jury should entertal on
these questions :—Whether. the renewal of the fir,A
loan were to be considered as an independent trani-
a&ion ? And whether, which was indeed more pro-
per for his. Lordship's consideration, the time stated
in the count, of six months, could be understood to
apply tothesix months and three days, from the
..e,3tt
of May• ro fhe 26th of November, which was the
time of forbearance, as on the latter of those two
dates the interest.wo paid'?: •
'-Lord ELT.ENBOROUG;i said, that with respeEt to
the first of the questions, just stated by the Learned
CounSel, he must say, that he considered it as a new
contra& ; with.respe& to the last, the forbearance
must be understood to' commence from the 'time
when the Defendant was out of his money to the
26th. of November ; -and if the interest of only
months were paid, instead of six monthi and three
days, it was only a rough way of settling the account.
As to .the interest exceeding 5 per cent, certainly.
the sum paid greatly exceeded lawful interest ; but
from the legal (Net-lions stated, the penalty could
only apply to the third count.

THE DRE.IDFUL cAtisrßopriE.

Yesterday, pursuant to adjournment, ToOMAS
Snr.t.Ton, Esq. Coroner, and the Jury sworn to
in_ :sire i[tto thc cause of the deaths of the untortu-
nate persons who lost their lives at the Old Bailey
on Mon.ay morning last, on the occasion 'of an
execution of three malefaaors, proceeded in the in-

qui ry.
Sari& Fry. .---The deceased lived in Market-street,
S:. Jnrnes's-• aware. Her husband is a blacksmith ;
she ~ent to o:-d on Saturday night, telling her hus-
band that she had to go on business into the City on
Monday morning ; and as she should pass the place
of execution she should look at it. She went along
with a female -companion, Sarah Howard, to the
place, where they were surrounded by a great crowd.
They got there about live minutes before eight
o'clock, and came towards the Old Bailey from the
top of Skinner-street; but in their endeavours to
cross by St. Sepulchre's Church, the mob pressed
upon them in such a- manner as to overpower them ;
hi a few minutes they were separated, and Sarah
Howard, the witness, fell on the ground; the de-
ceased seeing -1 fall, cried our, " Lord Howard,
you are gone !". The- witness then became sense-
less, and knew nothing of what happened afier-
wards, nor how•long she was in ,that situation ; she
believed for about -an hour. When she recevered,
she found herself i upon the Steps of St. Sepulchre's
Church, .which was about half past-ten : she then-
went upoti her business, but saw 'loth:l4ot the .de-
ceased ; she observed several bodieS lying dowit on
the ground lifeless. Before-filling., she heard Many
cries and groans, and murder cried out.- In this
dreadful scuffle she lest. her shoes and bonnet. '
J. Cross, of Norwich-court, Fetter4atte.---His
tiler, who-is in the .profession of the law, gave, an
account,of his son, -a 'boy of about 1.5, having been
lost in this unfortunate accident. This Gentleman
was so much atfeeled that he could hardly articu-
late, and had-some difficulty in standing up while
be spoke. The brother, - with the deceased, left
their father's house about twenty-five minutes be-
fore seven- in the morning, and the accident happen-
ed about five minutes after eight. They plaeed
themselves in the middle of the street. There was
a wooden rail across it, before the platform for the
execution. The carts which were standing there
blocked up the passage very much. The young
plan, who was the deceased's brother, was within
three feet of the rail -on that side of the road which
was next to Newgate. About a quarter before eight
o'clock, a little lad, who appeared to . have a brick-
layer's jacket on, said he wished to get out ; and a
butcher's man said to him, " If .you ddoot hold
your tongue, I will knock you down." The boy
cried loudly and repeatedly, and fell ; but nobody
struck him. He heard the cry of murder, and his
brother fell down within two yards, of the witness,
who got under the rail and saved himself.
Boother.—Hi father -said, he•lived with,
and was an apprentice to, Mr. Webb, a cr, -r,'arthe
corner of the Colonade, Russell-square. The boy'
was only 14 years old. He bad been 'apprenticed
about a month : he talked on Sunday night of going
to see the execution. I cautioned him not to go ;
for I was afraid he would be killed. I said he should
not go. I myself got up at half-past six, -and got
there before seven, but did not know of his going.
He knew that I was to go. -I returned to breakfast,
but he did not come. I saw him afterwards dead at
the Hospital. I did not see any body pushed down..
I stood close to the debtors' door, at Ne%qate,
heard a report of some lives being lost. I did not
see how it arose r but they say it was owing to a
i'yenzan's bdsket. I heard a crying out ; but. diOot
see any accident. The, mischief chiefly..happened
at the corner of Green Arbour-court.
_

John Carter.--Gorge Carter, N0...1-1c; Nark_
lane, Coldbath-fields, silver polisher,- said, I am his
brother; he lived at No. 5, Type-street, Chiswell, •
street; he was a shoemaker;' he had a wife and four
crhildren. I was with him ois Sunday evening about
seven o'clock : asked me if I would go with him
to the execution? I told him I •WdOld noL I un-
derstood from him that he intender} to 0o; and that
be would cidl at my house to briLakfa,it on MOnday.
tnorning,—[Here the witness uras.m'och acitated,
and Wept.l—l saw him again at the I.l6S"pitat about
two o'clock. I had sent my wile to Type-street 't9
inquire after him, on hearing of the 'accident ; and.
knowing that he was noreome home, I went to the:
Hospital, and found him amon the dead.
Gnest—Thomas Guest said thiS lad was,
his son. I live at No. 67, Red LiOU-street, Holborn;
and at No. 7, Cold Bath-square. I am a silversmith.
lie was 16 last St. Thomas's Day ; he now lies dead
at St. Baitholomew's Hospital. Sunday evening,
about 6 o'clock was the last time I saw bins. Ito said
he was going next morning to see the.execution ;
and I, without tholght, never denied it. He Was
lan 'apprentice to Messrs. Thompson and Jacksop,
G:ttter-lane, Cheaptide.

George Wils97z—Mi% Mapmani of Brooke's-mar-
ket, said, I am 2 St-WO-maker. The boy.n6w lying
dead at St. Bartholomew's Hospital was 16 years old;
he•was with me about seven months ; he expressed
a considerable degree of anxiety to go and see the
cliecution, but I desired him not to go. He had asked
to go and see the execution of a soldier before, but I
Aid not let him know. the time until it was over. This
.was to? public a thing to be concealed from him.—
He is tb son of the Serjeant Major,;:of the. North-
amptonshire Militia, who is coma up to bury hiM.
I wished to keep hiM away from the execution, f0r..1
knew what sort of a thing it was likely to be. I had
enough at the,execution of PaicitA)u,t,hawas deter-
mined to go, and therefore I went v,tith him to take
care of him. I do not think I shouldhave gone if he
had not. We went htllween seven and eight
\,re were about the middle. of the Qleilailey, and
felt a great pressme upon. us .near .Green-Arbour
court, which Is- nearly opposite to the debtors` door
of Newgate. Atter having been there bra few ml.
notes, I felt the pressure so great; that I said to. him,
We must go out, for I cannot stand here.'.' I
then saw a woman borne away by twd men : she
had fainted in the crowd. I' then told him we
should go off, and I immediately-turned ,otind and
followed the men who were carrying away'the young
woman, expeCting him to fAlow me, for he was
(-Jose by qo. This was the young woman to whom
. a cord was throwit to draw her up into a window ;

but that I did tot. see. lle attempted to fedve
me, but the crowd rushed in between him and me,
and then I saw no more of -him. It was impossi le
to get into Skinner-street. I staid just over the
kennel, where the pressure was pot so great ; there
I staid mud the-execution was over ; for 1 found
it impossible to go back to the piece I came from.
The crowd came down from Skirindes-street
one general motion ; which . I cannot compare to
any thing but the flowing of a rapid tide in an irre-
sistible torrent ;—it came in the diredion of the
platform. I got out of the crowd as soon as I pos-
sibly could. About g o'clock 1 saw the dead bodies
carried away. I then stood near , St. Sepulchre's
Chureh ; I stepped over some of them tnYself, in Os
ins.' along. I desired the lad, before We went from
home, that if he should lose me, or I lose hinv, in
the crowd, that he
,should go home immediately
after the execution was
.over; but when I came
home, and he was not come, I feared that he was
among the dead. The dead, when I saw them, were
lying on the-ground, not one.over the 'other, hut side
by side ; and, as well as I could guess, there were
between 30 and 40 : but I could not tell the colour:
of their clothes, because they Were so covered with:
dirt and mud. I did not see any body fall, but I
heard the cry of the people from the pressure. I
went back to Skinner-street, .the same way that I
went into the Old Bailey. The carts and other car-
riages along the highway reached from Newgate-
street to Skinner-street; so that the passage was
narrow, and but few could pass—that appeared to
me to be the chief cause bf the misfortune. The
place was ettirelY blecked up.
John Dilley.—His daughter appeared to give an .
account of him, instead of her mother, who was
too ill to come out. She said that he lived at No.
ee, King-street, Old-street-square. He was sixty-
sei-en yOars of age, and was by businesss a Razor,.
stroP-maker, employed by Mr. Bland. He said,
before he went out on Monday, that he did not
mean to go to this execution, but it was in his way
to his work, which was in Webber-row, St. George's
Fields, where he used to go every morning, and
usually returned home about eight o'clock -in the
evening ; but on this evening he did not return.
Sarah Distan, No. 4, Drapees-bnilditige, Olds
Street Road, said, I knew the .deceased now lying .
at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. I knew Mm because I
he had a very large,Wen on the left side of his neck:
Here the Coroner observed, that a great many.
persons attended these executions, who were afflided
in like manner, from a ridiculous notion -that they
may be cured by touching some part of the bOdy of
a person who'was banged.
The-Linder Sheriff, who was present, observed,
that had he known any such thing, he would have
checked it; for certainly nothing could be more
truly ridiculous than the notion .of illiterate people
on this subjed; it would be very proper to put a
stop to such nonsense.
Ann Dilley, the daughter of the deceased, proceed-
ed to say, that he had left six children. She was
the ylaungest but one ; the youngest was seven years
of .age ; she had the .misfortune to lose a brother on
board a Man of War last October. •
The Coroner here observed, he was informed
sonic fees had been demanded from personsecoming
for the bodies. He then said, that whene a dead
body comes into the Hospital, no tee is demanded;
he therefore ordered that such a rule should be ob-
served.
Daniel Glover.—Daniel Glover, uncle to the de-
ceased, and living himself at an Inn-yard fn Goswell-
street, stated that the deceased had lived with his fa-
•ther, a laboerer, itsTernmill-street, Clerkenwell.
The deceased was between 15 and 16 years of age.
He identified his person.
Richard Russell.—Sarah Russell, widow, said she
was the mother of the deceased, and lived at No. 4;
Old Cock-lane, Shoreditch. His father had been
dead five y'lhrs The deceased wasp. He used to
live with her. He.went. out to work for his liveli-
hood. She did not know of his going to see the
execution. He got out about half-past seven-o'clock.
She sal.v him again at two o'clock, lying dead at the
Hospital. She had three other children; the'eldest
of'wh6m was only te years of age, although he was
married. He got his livelihood by, working in a
• brick-field.
Abram Saul Roderiguez.—Thomas- Swete said,
that the deceased was a servant to his., father,
a butcher, at No. 76, Whitechapel. The de-
Ceased is now, lying at his father's housee He
was- 13 years of age, and lived with his father.. In
the morning he asked the witness to go with him,
Which the witness refused, and endeavoured to dis-
suade the deceased from going. But he went off
about a quarter before seven o'clock ; when he saw
no more-. of him till he found him at the Hospital,
from whence he was removed to his father's house.
Elizabeth Towzer.—William Addis, of Fox-court,
Ray-street, •Clerkenwell, tooth-brush maker, said, ,
ho was the cousin of the deceased, who was turned
of twenty. • She was servant to a Gentleman of the
name of Sherry, of .No. [J, Bailey-court,Wellesquare,
Shoreditch. She took care of his children ; and he
identified her :person, knowing her very well.
JoscPh Therne.—Anne Thorne, his widow, ap-
peared greatly affededeand wept bitterly. She said
be bad lived at No. 3, Fleur-de-Luce-court, Spital-
fields. At 5 o'clock on Monday he went out torgo
with his basket to• the place of execution, for it was
his custom to sell pies at suds places; and took in
his basket pies
.and banbury cakee; be had said it
Was worth his while to get a shilling. She saw him
at 3 o'clock in theafternoon, at the Hospital He
was 32 years of age, and left four children, and her,
his widow ; the eldest of whom was ten, and the
yeengest, at the breast, four months. He 'was
rather• a stout 114211, although only .5 feet 2 inches
Here the Coroner.observed, that men of that size
ought to be very careful how they got into crowds ;
for that accident; of this nature happened most. fre-
quently to people of low stature:
William Taylor.—Thomas Taylor, father to the
deceased, said, that he lived at No. 3g, Church=
'street, ,Soho, and was a plater. He SaW his son at
the Hospital; he was seventeen last June.; he was
a shoetsaker by trade; and was apprentice to'rfavid
Hatfield,-of Coppice-row, Cierken well. He beard

ceased, was only 12 years of age. He got his live-
lihood by helping her to get her s, by selling water-
cresses, pritnrostfs, and.the like. He had been very
useful to her, for she was now getting very old• and
feeble;: ,he could go into the water to gather crosses
for her, when it was out of her power tth do it. He
• went to,the place of execution, and she was so fool-
ish as to give him leave to go, which she lamented
bitterly,. He was now lying at the Hospital.

low;street, Manchester-square, carpenter, said the
deceased was a lodger of his. Be saw the body on
Monday at. the HOspital. He was a single roan,

H TT CiV-GARDEN.—Yesterday Hadfield; the. ac-
coinplice in the murder of Mr. Steel, was brOught by
Trott and Chapman to this Office, on a charge_of4
having used threats towards Governor Aris, of the 1
New Prison, Clerkenwell. Mr. Aris did not attend
himself ; but (me of the, Turnkeys of the prison
stated, that he bad heard Hanfield threaten the Go- .
vernor previous to the trial of Holloway and Hag-
gerty. There was, however, 'no specific charge to
induce the Magistrate to detain 'the Prisoner, who
was discharged. He was previously examined by
the Magistrates respecting a/statement which appear
eci in. a Morning Paper of yesterday, that he,.Said
Holloway and Haggerty died innocent, and that he
bad sworn against them only to save himselffroal
the hulks." This he most ,olemuly denied ;'and as
he was not confronted by the person who was said'V
have made such deposition, we must conclude that
the statement was groundless.
