11111 g =VG v. LITTLA ASD MUM
This was an indictment against the prisoners,
Joshua alias Jots ys Little, aged 2'l ; Mows: Davison,
nged 17 ; John Driver, 26 ; Wirsam Driver, 36 ; Ri-
chard rye, 18 ; Samuel Smalley, 15 ; Richard Latham,
• 21 ; Peggy Robinson Wildman 19 ; Ellen Usherwood,
90 ; Sarah Wikknan,' 13 ; in which indictment they
were charged with having riotously assembled, with
divers others! in the township of Bradford, in the pa-
rish of Mitton, in the Wesi !tiding, and by force and
violence broke and entered the dwelling house and
corn Mill of Thomas Taylor, and putting him into
bodily fear. •
The case was opened by Serjeant COCKELL and
Mr. Iticintanson, on the part of the Crown.
Thomas Taylor, on his examination by Mr.
Scestamr, said, that he lived at Eve's House, in
the parish of Mitten, and had a corn-mill about half
a mile Irons his house. Between one and two o'clock
on the 6th of June, a number of both men and wo-
men assembled near his house. There might be about
two hundred, but it was impossible to state exactly
how many there were. They were first seen by his
servant, who said the mob were coming, and en
witness going to the door, he saw them making in
ciost order towards his house, some armed with
clubs, and some with bludgeons, and such like in-
struments. When they got near his house, some of
the women came forward, and were.for pushing in
at the gate of the small yard or garden at the front
of the house; but the mob cried out, they must not
do so, but so round to the back door. They did not.
make a noise at this time, but were very quiet, and
the scene was very solemn. Witness went through
the house, and opened the back door, and stood in
the door way with the door in his hand. When the
mob came within about two yards of him, he desired
them to halt for a few minutes, mull he should talk
to them ; and proposed that they should chuse a
committee of ten or twenty persoas to go in and
search the house. They immediately came with a
:achy upoq him, so that he was obliged to give way,
and stand in a kind ( f lobby in the paasage. When
about thirty or for y of them had entered the house,
he desired diem to regulate themselves, and form a
party to elamine his h.'use, and make their report.
He did not know any of them at that time, but had
seen some of them sinc.2, and pointed out Pye as one
ot the party. The) did not !peak to witness, but
several of those wiio h..d rusl ed into the house set
their shoulders to so p -Iv rest from coming in. He
had desired them to sh a the &air and regulate them-
selves, and to begin at theit.zaning. They proceeded
to search the house, and• asked him, 6, What have
you in this, awl woat h •ve you in that cupboard ?"
aness did not know box many of them were in
the house, for he was ala n ei and durst not look
aaout. There was a gr.?..t noise about the door.—
Witness neat thr. ugh II the house with the party
that had entered. Cn of Clem, who appeared to be
the foreman, spoke t witne s ..bout some meal which
the wim,:ss had in h s m at Bradford, and asked
.him what he would t k= a is ad for it ? Witness an-
swered, he would take a market price. The man
inquired what he meant by a market price ? and if
the miller had not given him a market price ?—The
doors were then thrust open, and the Mob rut/led into
the hoes: in every direction. They *called 'out for
beer in an austere manner, and made a great noise.—
Witness replied, that his stock of beer was very
small, and would be useless among so many. They
then cried out for bread and the se ; and on going
into the kitchen he found them pilling down the oat.
cakes which were hung up to dry. Witness stepped
up, and desired them to regulate themselves, and he
would hand the bread down to them ; which he ac.
cordingly did. They stopped in his house from a
.;uarter to half an hour. Mrs. Taylor wa.s poorly in
bed when the mob came to the door; she got up and
came down stairs, but witness did not see her.—
When he •des'red them to regulate themselves, one of
them gave a fling-away, and said they would regu-
late Government. He could not tell what man this
was, but the prisoner Little was along with him and
witness in the garret. Witness thought, from the
above expression, that the mob took him to be con-
nected with Government • and therefore replied, that
he had no connection with Government, but was as
much under Government as themselves. One of
them stopped, and, turning round, said, did not
witness think it time for somebody to step forward
and regulate Government ?—Witness replied he had
only considered to be industrious to pay Government
the taxes. Two of the women prisoners, from their
appearance, and the account given of them, he be-
lieved were among the rioters, but he could not
swear to them. Witness was a large farmer, and
had many servants ; he had only a load of meal at
the time in his house, and that had come to be made
into bread. They examined his house, he supposed
for meal. On going away, he asked them if they
had seen any thing amiss in his house ? They said,
No. Had they seen his corn-bin ?—Yes.
On his cross-examination by Mr. Hawn, he said,
in answer to a question put to him, that the Counsel
would have thought the mob a terrible set, had he
been there; they marched in regular order, like a
regiment going to charge with the bayonet. The
front gate of the yard before the house was not locked,
and they might have rot into the house that way.—
Witness invited them in to shew them the house ' • but
could not say whether they went, as they would have
done into a play-house or a meeting-house ; for he
had never been at a play, and was no methodist. He
knew none of the people on the outside of the door;
except his own waggoner. There were only the wit-
ness, his wife, and servant in the house, and the mob
might have injured them, had they been so disposed.
They got no beer, although one or two of them had
asked for it in an austere voice; nor did they desire
him to hand the bread, but he did it in order that one
might not have more than another. He was not
much afraid of them when he went about the house
with them to shew them his rooms, pictures, mil
furniture.
In answer to a question from Me. Semmes., he said,
he was afraid of them when they first came up, bet
as he found he was under the necessity of exerting
himself to get them away, his fear went off in con-
sequence of his exertions. .

fourteen years of age, and lived with Mt.' Taylor.—

the evidence produced, that there was any thing
like a riot • at least, until Mr. Taylor and his own
man invited the people into the house and mill. The
latter gave them an invitation to his own house and
very liberally offered them a quantity of ale ; but
when he refused to give them any more, did they re-
sent it, and insist, as they might have . done, had they
been riotously disposed, on emptying his barrels ?
No ; they were content with the eight tankards he
had treated them with. On the other hand, Mr.
'Taylor invited them into his houss, 'hewed them all
his elegant rooms, his state bed, his furniture, his
choice paintings, &c. &c. Mr. Taylor had sworn
that when they came first to his house, they asked
him- for a little beer. This was likely menet to occur
at such a time, and among such persons. But when
Mr. Taylor told them that, his stock of beer was very
small, did they offer to take it by, force ? No, they
changed their request, and only wished for a little
bread. A more peaceable, quiet, orderly, well dis-

MAILLSOROUGH-STERST.--Saturday a young WOM2n
of the name of Moulde, exhibited a charge against an
artist in Mary-la-bonne, of assaulting her person, and
a breach of a promise of marriage. It was stated with
considerable reserve by the complainant, who is a
tradesman's daughter, that she had known the defen-
dant the last six months, and had frequently accom-
panied him to public places. The consequence was,
he had made-frequent attempts to seduce her, aid ac-
complished his object a fortnight since, at an inn at.
Hounslow, the wedding-day having been previously
fixed on, but it had turned out that the defendant was
married. On some questions being 'put to the com-
plainant, it did net appear that any degree of vio-
lence had been used, and consequently it was not cog-
nizable in this office.
WHITFCHAPPL.—Saturday a fellow, known at the
i Police Offices by the name of Jennny from Town, was
charged before the Magistrates with obtaining a horse
worth 501. by fictitious Ipswich bank-notes, not worth
a farthing. It appearing that he had dealt largely
in the same kind of traffic, he was remanded for fur-
, ther examination.
PUBLIC OFFICE, WORSHIP-STREET.—A baker, in
she neighboarhodd of Bethnal Green, was charged
with selling and exposing for sale several loaves of
bread deficient in weight ; he was convicted in the
penalty of five shillings per ounce. He was further
charged with having a great quantity of allum found
in his premises, contrary to Act of Parliament, which
being proved he was fined in the penalty of ten pounds.
Mr. Webber, of Stepney, on Friday, while playing
at trapball, was struck by the ball with such violence
on the temple, as to force his eye from the socket.
On Saturday se'nnight, the body of a man without
the arms, was cast ashore on the hill of Ardmore,
near Greenock. On taking" it up, the legs dropped
off. , The face was disfigured in such a manner, that
no traces remained of the features. -

TO THOMAS TAYLOR, ESQ.
.• No. 9, NEW BRIDGSTREET, LONDON.
SIR--I consider it but an act of justice due to the
merits of your LEAKE's PATENT PILLS, to communicate
to you the following Cure, which has recently been performed
by them :—An acquaintance of mine, who by the breaking out
of an old Venereal Complaint (attended by a complication of dis-
orders arising therefrom) was reduced almost to a skeleton, and
although he had the best medical advice which could be obtained,
and tried a variety of patent medicines, nothing could be procures',
which seemed to suit his case, or to d.-.: him any service; he re-
mained in a most reduced and pitiable situation for two years,
unable to follow Ills profession, and scarcely able to walk or even
Ito stand on, his legs; in fact no one who knew him ever supposed
t possible for him to recover. He was advised at last to try your
LEAKE'S PILLS—he did so, adhering strictly to the directions
given with them—he had not taken more than two boxes, before
he found an alteration for the better; this encouraged him to
proceed, and by taking a few lanes more he found his appetite
andstrength gradually return, and ,is now as healthy and stout as '1
any man I know. You are welcome, Sir, to refer any person so
me for a coafirmatlon of the above account, if it should be ,
doubted. i am, Sir, your obedient humble servant.
