tice Chambre, at the lalt Ailizes fur Yorkfltire, on
an information filed againfl him by the Attorney
General, fgr affaulting in the execution of his duty
an excite officer. The officer was employed in fur.
veying a tan yard, when he was obltruded and
beaten by the defendant.
Mr. SCARLET adcheffed the Court on behalf of
the defendant. He laid he had been acquitted of all
the counts in the indiament, but that for a com-
mon affault, of which he had been found guilty ; he
therefore trulled the Court would be mild in its pu.
nifhment, as the defendant had not been proved to
have at any time defrauded the revenue. After a
few words from the Attorney General in reply, the
Court fentenced the defendant to pay a fine of sot.
to the Kiog, and to give fccurity for his good beha.
viour for two years, himlelf tn 2001. and two lure-

THE KING T. CADDY AND OTHRRS.

The Defendant had been convieed before Mr. Ba•
rot' THOMPSON, at the Suffer. Alrats, ..f having in,
his polliffica King's (tore,, with the King's mark
upon them ; committed to Newgate till Monddy:.

Mr. Buastouctss applied to the Court for the4rue
of a writ of Habeas Corpus, direatd to the keeper of
the Borough gaol of Portfmonth, commanding him
to bring up the body of James Faden, an adjutant in
the Royal Marines. It appeared, from the Itatement
of the learned Counfel, that Mr. Faden had been
charged by a young woman, named Elizabeth Sta-
pleford, with having committed a rape upon her, on
the evening of the Bth inllant. This was denied by
Faden, and he had been committed to prifon. Mr.
B. proceeded to Rate, that he held in his hand certain
rflida•its, from feveral refpeftable inhabitants of
Portfmouth, timing, that on the evenin7, of the 841
initant, they obferved the Adjutant walking in the
colunade, with his arm round the wald of Mifs Sta•
pleford, and that fhe had one of her arms round his
middle. That the appeared very familiar with him,
and went to his barracks without any kind of reluc-
tance or refufal. There was no doubt of their having
been a connection between the parties, but the Ad.
jutant nv)lt exprefsly denied that any force or vio•
lence had been tiled by him—on the contrary, that
nothing but poled harmony had taken place.

Lord ELLENBORnUCH allied how the woman was
ciekiibed, whetker (he was a look nr wanton woman,
ur one of another defcription ?—Mr. Buctitouctis
replied, that her charaCter was not limed in any fit
his affidavits ; but it was pretty apparent what kind
of nymph the was.—The Court granted the writ, and
alto a certiorari, removing the matter into this Court.
