On Friday last, a girl about ten years old, in
most wretched attire, applied to some persons at
South End, near Lewisham, Kent, for relief, stating,
that she was almost perishing from want, having that
morning walked several miles, to escape from a gang
of gypsies, who had taken her away from her friends
at elymouth.

On being fut.ther interrogated, she said that she
was the daughter of a Capt. Kellen, of the Marines,
at Plymouth ; that about seven months ago, being
sent a small distance out of the town, she was
met by a gang of gypsies, consisting of five men
and .six women& who seized her and carried her
to their camp, in another part of the country,
at a considerable distance, having first stripped
her of her own clothes, and in exchange, dressed
her in sonic of their rags ; that she had travelled
about the country with them ever since, and her
life was threatened if she endeavottred to escape;
that during the time she was with them,. they en-
trapped a little boy about her own age, whom they
also stripped and carried with them, but took par-
ticular cate he should never converse with her ;
said that they generally travelled by cross roads
and private ways, ever keeping a watchful eye
that she might not escape ; no opportunity of which
offered till Friday morning last; when, by some
accident, they were obliged to send her from
their camp to a neighbouring farm-house; in order
to procure a light, which she took advantage of ;
and scrambling over hedges and ditches, as she
supposes for the distance of eight miles, reached
South End, worn out with fatigue and hunger, her
support with them being always scanty, and of the
worst sort, which, added to the misery of sleeping
under hedges, and exposed to the inclemency of the
weather, has given her such a very emaciated ap-
pearance.
Of the depredations of this banditti, in milking
cows in the night, stealing poultry, &c. she gave a
very probable account ; and said it was their inten-
tion to have coloured her and the. boy, when the
walnut season approached, to make them appear as
real gypsies. Her manner and behaviour altoge-
'ther, and her being able to read extremely well,
gives reason to believe her tale is true ; but tO as-
certain ire a Gentle►nan has-written to Plymouth.
On Friday evening, in the Opera of Armida
Mad. BANTI narrowly escaped a fatal accident. In
mounting in the car, the parallel gave way, and she
was thrown out. She fortunately caught hold of a
rope, and saved herself from falling, by hanging sus-
pended till the Carpenters came to her assistance.
Lady HAWKESBURY'S dress at the Drawing_
room on Friday, entirely consisted of grey and
silver, with many diamonds : the petticoat grey
crape, richly spangled, and the drapery cith a
broad silver worked border ; the gown same colour,
and also the head-dress and feathers.

At Lynn, upwards of 3001. was subscribed in
lieu of a General liiumination, and was on Mon-
day distributed amongst the poor of that piace.

On Satunday a careless Nursery-maid, having
charge of a young,ehild, in walking over Black-
friars Bridge, suffered it to climb up a he:w of
gravel, placed in one of the recesses co mend the
Bridge, the child 'tilted over, fell into the river,
and was drowned.

:LAIT' REPORT.

• ;
COURT OF KING'S juNt.
SITTIZ/GS ni:TORk LORD LLEN8Q11.01.1.4;14. IN R'ESTMI;r-

s It -

V. MORRIS'.

. .
Tit E Plaintiff and Defendant are Potters, and
nUfacturers of Sugar Moulds) a business followed by
but few person's in the kingdom; and this action wa
brought to recover damages susLiined by the Plain-
tiff, by reason of the Defendant's having enticed a
person of the name of Deal, a Labourer, out of the
service of the Plaintiff, after he had commenced, and
before he had finished a piece of work for him, and
harbouring that person, by employing him in his.
the Defendant's 'service, after notice that he I;ad
quieted the Plaintiff's service) and left his work un-
finished.

the laW of this case is clearly laid down in 6
Term Rep. 2'4, by
.which it is stated, " that an
ataion will lie for 'receiving or continuing in ernp;oy.:
merit, the Servant of another, ,dter notice that he
is that Servant----That a p,er who contrafts with
another to do any piece of work for him, is the set.
%int of that other, until iha: work is finished, and
therefore no one else has a ri,;ht to employ him un-.
til such Work is finished."

The circumstances of this case were these : Deal
the labourer had Worked for the Plain!iff several
years. In July last he had a piece of work on hand,
and left his Master, when there were about eight
days labotir remaining to finish it. He went to
the Defendant who hired him. The Pliiintiff sent
to the Defendant a letter, saying " I beg leave to
acquaint you, that William Deal whom you have
in your employment as a potter, is engaged at my
Manufadory to work, which work he has left un-
finished, and I trust, after this notice, that you, as
a tradesman, will not detain or harbour him ; if
you do, I shall be under the necessity of com-
mencing an a6tion against you.—lsaac Parry."
The Defendant told the bearer of the letter, that
he, the Defendant, had had nothing to do in the
law a great while ; that' he should like to have a
touch at it—that if aal owed Mr. Parry any
money, he would pay it."—The Messenger said,
" it was not the money that the Plaintiff wanted,
but the labour of the man who had left his service."
The Defendant replied, " You may tell Mr. Parry
that I have as many Bricks to give to the Lawyers
as he has Moulds." He kept Deal in his employ.
ment ; the work of Deal at the Plainnf's fadtory
was left unfinished.

Lord ELLENBOROUGII observed there was no
evidence of the Defendant's enticing the workman
from his master, but there was enough of the har-
bouring after 0011 Cd, and that was sutlicient to sup-
port this Action.

Verdiitt for the Plaintiff' damages 51. ss. being
the value of the labour required to finish the work.

HUNTER AND ANOTlitit *V. rERRIN AND

CADELL, E!'QRS.

This was an Aaion brought nominally against
the late Sheriffs, but in substance against one of
their Officers, who give them security for their
condua, for the escape. of a person of the name of
Henry I hint, who was arrested by one of the OfH-
cers of the Sheriff of Middlesex, fOr 1401. at the
snit of the above Plaintiffs for business doe by
them as Coach-painters. He was arrested at his
father's house, and went up stairs, and the Officer
with him, for his great coat, and as lie come down
he slipt by the parlour.dior (where the P:ainiltr,
llunter, was sitting, he having come there to chew
Hunt to the Office') and went out of .the house and
was seen no more. The Sheriff being called upon
to return the Writ, returned " That by command
of the Writ, I did arrest and take the body of the
within-named Henry Hunt, within my Bailiwick,
whose body I safely kept, until with foree and
arms he rescued himself out of my custody, and
that afterwards and up to the timeeof the return of
the said Writ, the said Henry Hunt was not found
in my Bailiwick."'
Mr. GIBBS contended that this return of the
Sheriff to the 'V in question, instead of furnish-
ing the Plaintiff with an Aaiun against the Sherif,
was an answer to such Aaion, for it stated a, rescue,
which was an excuse for the Sheriffdpon an escape
after caption upon mesllf process : it was otherwise
where the Defendant was taken in • Extcra;on, be-
cause in the latter case the Sheriff car; raise the
Posse Comitatus; but he has no such Tow:er -in case
of arrest upon meme process, and here there was no
count in the declaration that the- return of the She-
riff was false. For these reasons, which he argued
ably, Mr. Gi a as submitted that the Plaintiff's should
be non-suited.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH having looked at the
Record, was of opinion that the return was in sub_
stance falsified, and therefore refused to nonsuit the
Plaintiffs, and the puse was proceeded in. It was
then shewn that the Plaintiffs' Bill. upon iiuut was
reasonable, &c. but that the Defendant, Hunt, wal
insolvent, and had gone to Ireland to avoid his
creditors' pursuit, ezc.

Lord ELLCNBOROUGH laid down to the Jury,
the: this adiun was maintainable as it Et 01,d, but
that the r;aintiffs ought not, by this verdia, to be
placed in a better condition than they would have
been in had they possessed the body of Bunt..—lie
thought, that at all events, the Plaintiffs in this case
ought to be reimbursed the Gusts they had been at in
causing the arrest, Sec.—Now, the adion by •
original, he understood from a very intelligent Of-
ficer who SAC under hini (Mr. Low TON, Clerk
Nisi Prius) that the expences wete, in sue!) a
about twelve guineas ; to this the Jury would
what they thought was fair to conjecture as the sum
which the Plaintiffs might have obtained from Hunt,
had their arrest been f:fiCtuai.—The vertikt in this
case against the Sheriff ,oeld not discharge Hunt.
Veldid for the Plaintiffs, afm.ses 401.
