THE OATHS OF ALLEGIANCE ADMINISTERED TO
JEWS.—Amungst the Constables sworn in before the Court, in
the course of the day, there were some of the Jewish religion.
Mr. CLARKE, the Under Sheriff; the t)eputy Clerk of the
Arraigns, administered the oaths of allegiance to Jews and
Christians indiscriminately. The former repeated 'distinctly
the words expressing the denial of the supremacy of the Pope,
of the right of the Pretender, or his posterity, to the Throne of
these. Realms, and the -promise to reveal all plots and cons i•
racier against the rightful Sovereign George " upon the
truefaith of a Chistian.".:

Alderman VENABLES observed, that surely the path could
net in:law have a binding etfeet upon the Jews. If they trans-
greised it, they could not be convicted ofpgrjury„,
Mr. SHELTON (the Clerk of the Arraigns) observed, that in

the Jews who took the oath transgressed their duty, they wg
punishable for such transgression.
Some cases of assault were tried, but none of them were
the slightest importance.

bled at the Lord Cornwallis public-house on the sth of Neve
ber last, and that in order to preserve the peace, and prev
the letting off of squibs, and other fire-works, they had tak
different beats, but returned in some time after to the
Cornwallis, when the landlord complained that Hudson w
letting off fire-works in the tap-room. On their entrance in
the room they found it full of smoak, and the persons insi
making a great uproar. Hudson seemed to be the leader, al
was particularly noisy ; he was after a struggle taken out, b
returned shortly afterwards, and struck the witness, Avid do
any ten officers to take him ; he was however secured m a f'
minutes. By this time the riot became generA lnd brie
bats and other missiles were thrown in all dirmts, one
which struck the witness Gibson, and disabled him for sos
tame.

This evidence was corroborated by the other officers and tl
landlord.
The Jury found Hudson Guilty, but Acquitted Davies.

for his good behaviour for one year.
Thomas Kitson was convicted for assaulting a Pub 11532

when he was in a state of intoxication. Fined five poundl
There were a few other trivial cases disposed of, but of no u
terest whatever.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks to the Jury for their rek
lar attendance, and the correct manner in which they diseharg4
their duty ; and he was gratified, as no doubt they also s'T
that so little of their time was taken up at this Sessions. ,11,'
Calendar was indeed comparatively small, and the cases wiPC
had come before their notice were in general of a trifling II
ture ; he would not however take his final leave of them,
there were a few more cases for their consideration on Frid*
next, at which period he begged their attendance. •
The Court accordingly adjourned until Friday next.
