• The Jury having been sworn, Afr.Cluttrny rose
and addressed them, detailing the eients Est
port on the night of the .22d c►t May. The vin.

the Nagtstrates of the county were mtimidafed
by an armed mob, why) for a short period carried
terror wherever they went, and were completely
SucceSsful in therr.daritig utta'ek upon the peesotit
and property of their neighbOurs. Such an ex-
ample emild fail to excite
,the evil
,pas-
shuts Of other tdistontented persons the con-
tagion spread l anti before the 22d of May there

explosion On that day. A large mob 'aisembted
at Littlepar, arnica with bludgeons, pitch-forks,

selves of treasure, Mitt foid every, species.of orga,
niiatiou. noose tater rouse was robbed; and
pencil) after person. The numberoltlke mob ex-
ceeded 100, every One of whom might justly for—
feit hli life tip his country. The crown,. however,
had selected `twelve persons, who Were :more
actively employed than the rest. John Easey with
a large club liroke the. Whitlow ; Joseph 4asey
entered the bathe; nieliikrd jessop, endeavoured
to break open ilie back door with an iron weapon ';'
51. were offered to hint to desist; but he said that
no money should deter from his object, %%I'o'o
was the life of Mr. Martin ; Thomas Smith en-
tered by a hole iri the shutter,' armed with a

mob.
Little Ballisot labourer at Littleport, 'l. Vpung,
Elitabeih•Wationi Samuel Skinner, William Gil-
lett, Rebecca entlack, William Young, William
Watson, and Mary Cutlack, proved the rioting;
&c.

Henry Martin was then examined.---Witness is
a farmer at Littleport. lie lives with Mrs. Wad-
deiow, who is his grandmother. Saw the 'mob
first come out of the public-house about eight
Welock. They wen( past his house, and then
repassed it, and he went down the street with
them; with some other farmers and the Rev. Mr.
VsehelL lie believed they had sticks, hitt eid
not take particular notice.., They broke the win-
dows of ,several houses, but did not say any thing
to him then. Ile left them a little down -thetom n,
having first offered them 2s. a-day increase. of
%rages,: and' to sell the flour at
_2s. tid. a stone,, or
less, it Abe Magistrates should think it ought to
be done.:. Ile. understood, Irons *what he had
heard, it. was for that they store rioting : be
heard such things had been done in other parts of
the country. It tufts his grandmothei *3 own
horse. He went to the door with"sl. in his hand;
the!mob were then canting up•the street. They
were 100 yards from him: he went atvoy before
they catne, in tonsequence of being alaraied.—:-
Did not see them again that night.
Cross-examined.--The house was rated in both
'their names. The farming business and shop
were rated together, Some part of the farm be-
longed to Mrs. Waddelow, and some to him ; he
spoke to them down the tom,/ : there were others
as well as himself who mentioned the increase of
wages.' They were then pitying them 9s. a week
wail considerably-more than 2s. Gd.
Rei.xamined t!/ Mr. IioLLAND.—The shop and
farm were carried on as one general concern.—
Could not Say exactly how the profits were di-
vided : his grandmother and he lived together,
anti managed the farm between theta, the same as
if they were man and wife. lie lost all his shirts,
anti hint not seen his hat since.

A conference here 'took place among the Judges,
when Mr. Justice ABBOT (01(1 the Jury, that there
was a mistake in the training of this indictment,
which would lead to the acquittal of all the prison-
ers, as far as their lives were concerned, in. conse-
quence of the description of the property given
by the last witness ;.and' though it was open to
tire Counsel' for the Ci-own'to proceed for the'tni-
nor felony, he understood front them that they
Witold not press it, and therefore all the prisoners
. must be acquitted. The .JUry 'accordingly re-
turned a verdict .of—Not
Aaron Chevill, RichurelJessop, Joseph &meth Tho
mas south the younger, Morkilienon,
Dann, and Francis Torringtod, were then indicted
for having, on the night of the 2251 of May Jest,
hurglatiously broken open and entered the dwel-
ling 'house of Josiah-Dewey, in the town of Lit-
deport, and for having stolen and carried away
therefrom 100 guineas in gold, and divers articles
.of futrtirtire and wearing apparel ; and with hav-
ing assaulted and put in bodily tear the said Jo-
siah Dewey, in his dwelling-house, taking (rep
his`Person a one. pound banker's cash note. ,
Mr. GURNEY, having described the case on the
part of the Crown, proceeded to call witnesses,
upon whose testitnony,
Mr. Justice. BuratooGn observed, that there
was no sufficient evidence to prove that Torrington
had been guilty of any offence. The charge at
burglary laid in the indictment could not be oh-
wined, because it dill not appear to have been
(irk when' the breaking was effected; but hy'the
course of law flue prisoners might be convicted of
a capital felony in stealing from a dwelling-house.
The evidence not being decisive with respect to
Torrington and Daher, the ,i‘iry would probably
deem them entitled to an .acquittal ; bat he nut
'leave to their consideration whether any' reason-

able doubt could he eutertained.as to the guilt 'of
the other prisotiers. _
The Jury, in five; minutes, gave a verdict of
guilty against.Chevill, Ea6ey; Jeslop, South, and
Benton; dWI acquitted I)ann and Torriugton,who
are detained lo take their trial upon other indict-
ments.

'flie Court atlionrned at five o'clock till nine
to-morrow morning.

The backwardateis of the present Season has
been the general complaint of the Farmers. There
is one class of persons, however, who hearing in
nand the sayipg 't Make hay while the sun
shines," have alreaclyreaped a plentiful harvest by
taking the advantage which was offered to them
by the late Lottery of gathering a rich crop.
Fortunately for those Who negleeted to do`so, it
is not vet too late, t Summer Lottery which will
be all drawn Nem TUESDAY, will afford to those
Who may Ire indium' tt) giGau ttt the Lottery field,'
bushels of happiness.
