I merely said, " I hoped they would see justice done," mean-
ing that he would not he allowed to beat me unjustly. I went
up stairs to dress myself in half an hour after, and, as I was
passing the room where East and the others were breakfast-
mg, I heard him say, " will flog him with the whip."--
I went to my room, where two other young men were dressing,
and after they hail left, East came into the room. I was then.
undressed, in my shirt. Ile had a whip in his hand, and struck
me across the legs, using very opprobrious language, and
daring me to strike him. I refused to have any thing to do
with him. Ile went to the door and called up the other three,
who came into the room and seized me, Douglas by the back of
the head and neck, Dcnniford by the left arm and hand, and
Bennett by the right : they flung me on the bed, and East
flogged me with the whip. I struggled and cried out, but he
continued flogging me until the blood flowed from my thigh.
I told them it was shameful to treat me as they did. I was
dreadfully beaten, and such are the injuries which I received,
that I am covered with weals and bruises.
Mr. Kean senior, stated that the boy's abdomen and thighs
were in a very dreadful and contused state.
Mr. RAWLINEION and Lord MowrTonn (who sat on the
bench) retired with the youth to a room, and there witnessed
the marks of violence on his person. On their return, East
ei..tred into his defence. He recited various acts of disobedience
on the part of the boy, who refused to obey his orders, and at•
tend upon the customers, but swore at him, and being a youth,
he (East) did not like to strike him with his fist, but cautioned
him if he was saucy that he would " whip him," and the boy
continuing his impertinence, he certainly did whip hint.
Mr. It awurtsost observed, upon ordering them all to find
good bail to answer the charge at the Sessions, that he was
astonished such a shameful outrage could at all be accomplish-
ed in any respectable tradesman's house, upon an apprentice,
who was the son of a respectable merchant, who had given a
large premium with him. The worthy Magistrate also cen,'
cured the practice of employing men in milliner's shops, whero
the duty could be performed more properly by women.
The defendants procured bail in the course of the day,

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday one Thomas Fruit, who resides with his brotherr
in-law, a farrier, at No. 29, in Rochester-row, neir Vincent.-
square, came before the Sitting Magistrates (Mr. MARICLANI?
and Nit. Wilt Tr.), to answer to the specific charge of buying a'
tolerably fine mare, before the anima
.got stinted, the property
of Thomas Davis,of Albemarle-street, Clerkenwell, which had
been stolen from him under circumstances of somepeculiarity.
Mr. Frost, at the outset, said that he went about the coun-.
try with oranges and nuts, for which he brought back old Iron
or any thing else ; and further, that he was in the habit of buy-
ing horses and selling them. '
Thomas Davis, the owner of the mare, deposed that he was&
fishmonger by trade, and that he had purchased her, about
nine months ago, for Iti guineas. He unfortunately lost the
animal on Friday lust, at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon,
when lie fetched her from the stables he rented in Pewter.

her. Witness did not know the person who was employed to
examine the horses, as he was going to make an exchange fur
the mare ; but that person got upon her while trying her in
Wellington-square, and suddenly rode away. Just at this mo-
ment a friend of the horse tryer's caught hold of witness's arm,
saying " that the horse which the latter bought in exchange
was a kicker ;" when witness said to his brother William, wha
was standing by, " Where's the man gone?" Witness still
supposed that the rider had taken the mare home for him; but
be never saw either the mare or the man until he learned that
the former was in Westminster.
Lee, an officer from Hatton-garden, had searched for the
stolen mare, upon a warrant, on Monday night, at Skipper's,
who is Frost's brother, and lives in Coburg-row, 'rothill-fields,
when Skipper told witness that the mare was gone to Green.
wick, but would return at night.
Defendant had refused to give up the mare at prosecutor's
house, yesterday morning, inconsequence of which refusal he
was given in custody to bee, when Mr. Sergeant Sollon sent,
the matter fur investigation at this office.
Frost, in his defence said that he purchased the mare from
some person in Sniitthield.market fur 41. They settled the
business at some public-house in Goswell-street ,• defendant
lied never known the man before, but should know him again ;
and he believed, if he were at liberty to look after hips, that he
should be able to find him.

over to Hackney, in order to view the premises, and in the
course of examination, he mentioned to a person that was ob
the spot his intention of becoming the purchaser of the fonr
houses from Mr. Fairfax. The individual alluded to said that
Fairfax had nothing whatever to do with any of the property in
question, when the complainant observed that the informant
must be mistaken, for he could 'produce the lease which had
been made over to him by that persOn. Mr. Jones, however,
was assured that the lease he held front. Fairfax was a fabri-
cated one, and that the original lease of the premises was is
the possession of a gentleman mined Harrison, to whom the
prisoner had mortgaged the property sw ee time before for the
