having lately feen, with Come furprife, in
public prints, tome moft falfe and wanton attacks
on the condult of his Royal Highnefs the Duke
of KENT, fince he was appointed Governor
of this place I truft that you will not refute
to admit the following ftatement of faas from an
old Soldier, who has for many years been a witnefs
to the tranlaaiuns which have taken place in this
garrifon.
Previous to the arrival of his Royal Highnefs
here, from various caufes unneceffary to relate, a
molt extraordinary relaxation of difcipline had for
foire time prevailed, and the drunkeimefs and li.
centioufnefs of the troops had arifen tb a height
not eafily to be believed. The ftreets daily (warmed
• with drunken foldiers, who often infultedand
the inhabitants, particularly the women,
writ the moll brutal and lawlefs violence.
A general want tf regularity and 'Uniformity
was confpicuous in almoft every point, op which
the exiftence of a well-regulated army ilpends..--
No general rule was obferved, either in drefi or
difcipline, and both officers and foldiers were in
the habit of appearing publicly, dreffed as the
fancy of each individual diaated:
His Royal Highnefs, on witnefmg the (late of
the arrifon, refolved immediately; however un-
gracious the :a& might appear, 'to check the li-
centioufnefs of the troops, and aridly to enforce
his Majefty's regulations for the drefs and difcipline
of the army.
• The neccffity of caking Tome revere examples
loon occurred. On feveral foldiers of one of the
regiments being conviaed and fenteoced to receive
one thoufand lathes each, for ravifiting two Spanifh
women at noon day, in the prefence of tome hun-
dred fpeiclitors, who were prevented from affifting
or rekuing them by the bayonets of lonic other
foldiers, his Royal Highnefs, to mark his abhor-
mice of fuch proceedings,andto deter. others from
Inch fcandalous outrages, which had but too frer
gamily occurred, dire6ed the puniihment to be
inflilted by the taoftlie drum; a mode only nfed
with notorious offenders, where peculiar feverity
is intended.
This example loon had its effea I
• To• check the drukennefs among the brook.,
which was exceffive, his Royal Highnefs direaede
that a number of the lower clafs of wine-honfes,
which had been a receptacle for every fisecies of
vice and debauchery, Gould be (hut up ; and po-
' fitive orders were given toprevent any foldiers
pearing is the greets, who were not cleanly and
uniformly dreffed s a regulation that has highly
contributed to reflore that fobriety and regularity
which are now fo remarkable in the garroo.
It may not be improper to remark, as a trait
of his Highnefs's difintereflednefs in this par-
tieul2t,Aret the chief 'emoluments of a Governor
here arife from the tax on wine houfes, and the
duty on the wine confumed in them, which, by this

• By -the-indafatigable zeal and attention of his
Royal HiShnefs, he has, fince his arrival, affeited
change in the appearance, difcipline, and regu-
In*, of the troops,. which molt forcibly lirikes
cvery perfon who ma witoefs to the former Rate
the garrifon.

The inhabitants alfo, inaead of being oppreffed
in any fhape, or obliged to conform to any paxti•
agar or ndiculons mode of drefs, as has beenmoft
falfely fated, now enjoy a degree of freedom and
protoaion feldom experienced before, his Royal
Highnefs, Once • his arrival, having abolifhed a
number of oppreffi” and impolitic fees of office,
which tended t 0 impede the free trade of thisplace;
and, contrary to the pra&ice of moft 'former Go-
vernors, he has enconraged and countenanced the
trial by jury, and the civil adminiftration of juf-
tice in all cafes where the lives or property of ci-
vilians were concerned.
The enclofed charge from his Royal Highnefs to
the Grand Jury, with their anfwer, which I will
thank you to infert, will fofficiently confirm what
I have here fated; and his condna during the

Hiczs's HALL.—The following cafes perhaps.
s,s extraordinary as any that has lately occurred,
fence it is feldom that we find an infant to have
been aolen for the fake of itfelf, it generally being
done with a view to plunder it of its cloaths.
Yefterday EliFakth Salntent a woman of very
refpeaable appearance, was indicted for rcuiving,
knowing them to have been "
Bolen, feveral articles
of child's wearing apparel. Although the india-
ment waafrimed in this way, yet the fat% of the
cafe turned upon haling the child itfelf.
Elizabeth Impey, the mother of the child which
"was Bolen, gave the following account of the tranf-
aaion:—She laid the was wife to a labouring man,
and at the period in queftion lived in Red Lion
market, White Croft-area. On the 22d of June,
abont feven o'clock in the evening, a man came
up ftairs in her honfe, and anted in which rains
Mrs. Impey lived t She fetid the was Mrs. !Misty.
He then went into her room and fat down : he

faid he came from Mrs. James, and asked her how
the did, and how the child was ? Mrs. James was
a lady who lived in Finfbury-place, and hwd been
charitable•and good to her.i—He added that Mrs.
James had fent him to fee-whether. the Was dif
treffed. He asked her if the had get any coals,
and any • bread ? She told him that the had atienals,
and but very little bread: Ha then faid that he.
mull take her•to a neighboit44 Out& 4thitfealtd
give her fometbing. She had at ehattiniePaid in '
a fortnight and four days. • She howe•er Went with
bias; and took her baby in her arms: they went to
I the fign of the Red Crofs. He Lard the td aid not:
go interthe tap room, for that,wouldtbe t 66 warm
for her. They went up Rails; he looked into one
I'OCMI and did not like that ; at lati he fat limfelf
down at the Joor of another room, and •the fat
'-down by him. They hall two pints of ale lege-
aher. , He then told her that the lady he same
from hacticat her eighteen-penee,aal gave it her,
telling ber to go and buy tome bread and Coals;
aind when the had done le to return :tiff him when

Sid; "Let me hold the &Id till you eon* back,
you need not be- afraid of. troiting The; I live
surfed many filch little ones—l have had Teveral
of my own." She accordingly gave him the child,
and went to bny the bread and coals. When the
teturned, the found, the man had gone off with her
child. She (earthed about all thatclay, but could
not recover the child. She went to Mrs. James's,
who told her the bad tent no man, nor knew aught
Poi the child. She was then perfitaded to apply
for a-warrant againft Mrs. James, but the Magif-
erates at Guildhall refuted it. A Mrs. Dickfon,
who lived in the fame houfe with her, then per
folded her to go to Mrs. Salmon, and tell her of
the accident. She accordingly went to Mrs. Sal-
inon's ; the found her in bed with a child lying on
her arm, but the hid no fufpicion of its being her
child. Mrs. Salmon told her the had lain in the
Wednefday before ; and that the dared fay the
witnefs's child was in the Foundling Hofpital; tel.
ling her alto, that if the would content berfelf till
the (Mrs. Salmon) crania get above, the would en-
quire after it for her. She went a fecond -Unt to
Mrs. Salmon's with a Mrs. Atterbury ; the child
was then in bed with Mrs. Salmon, and the refuted
to let them fee it. They went again with Ray,.
the police officer, and brought the child awaY.
This was three days after the child was loft. lYfrX.
Salmon lived in Cooper's-gardens, Hackney-road;
the did not know what the was, but the had heard
that the eolleaed the rents of ninety houfes. Being
examined as to what paged at the time the child
was taken away from Mrs. Salmon, the confeffed
the was in fuch confufion at the time that the could
not diftinaly remember.
Sarah-Atterbury faid, that on the zad of June,
Elizabeth Impey, and one of her neighbburs, came
to her houfe, and told her of the circumftance of
Impey's lofing her child. She went to fee her the
next day, and learned that The had been at Mrs.
James's, and alto at Guildhall, to get a warrant
againft her. She faid the was fure Mrs. James
was too good a Lady to do fuel; a bad aCtion, and
reprobated the attempt to get a warrant againft
her. On the Thurfday the wieners went alone to
Mrs. Salmon's, under pretence of asking whether
the bad a houfe and garden to let? She fufpeaed
that Mrs. Salmon had Impey's child, and the gave
as a ground of her fufpicion, that Mr. Salmon had
told her hufband his wife had mifcarried. fix months
before. She was fure, therefore, that the could not
fo foon afterwards have a live child. When the
went to Mrs. Salmon's, the was introduced into
her bed-room, which had all the appearance of a
lying-in room. She was nurfing the child in her
arms.;--The witnefs complimented her at being fo
brave after lying-in, and :liked her if the ever had
a child to live before ? She faid no ; not above
three hours. The witnefs then faid the hoped. fhe
would have better luck with her child than a poor
woman the heard of, that had hid her child stolen
from her. Mrs. Salmon asked her Vibe knew the
woman ? She faid the was not acquainted with her,
but the thould know her if she faw her. Ia reply,
the Aced Mrs. Salmon if the had not heard of it ?
At firit (he faid the had not, but afterwards the
*laid the had ; adding, her child a Was a poor yel-
low little thing, but mine is remarkably fair.
The witnefs rtplied, certainly, this is a very fair
child for one new born. Immediately the law the
child the knew it to be Mrs. Impey's, by tome lit-
tle fpots under the eye lids : the faid nothing, but
took her leave. She immediately went to Mrs.
Impey, and told her Mrs. Salmon had got her
child, defiring her to content herfelf till the next
day. The next day Mrs. Impey and the witnefs
went together, and as loon as they got to the houfe
they went up (fairs to the bed room, without wait.
ing for any invitation. As loon as they got into
the room Mrs. Salmon fcolded her hufband for let-
ting any body in, Paying they, had awakened her,
and that the had not had to good a fieep fince the
wai itiamed. She then eked what they wanted t
The witnefs faid they had fometbing to fay to her,
which perhaps it might be better for her hufband
hot to hear : the laid there was nothing which the
did not with her hufband to know. The witnefs

She denied it, but refuted to ltiskitem fee it. 'They
endeavoured to perfuade her, but . in, IrAitt. She
defired ber. huiband to throw theiit *wit. !lairs?
and break their necks if they would ntvt go atv..y.
The witnefs laid, there was no oecalion for that;

for we will go quietly.—They accordingly want.
At the bottom of the (lairs Mr. Salmon accelted

diem, and faid, 4, So you think my wife has got
your child."—The witnefs replied, 66 lam lure it
is Mrs. impey's child." This trancadion tanks'
fame difturbance among the neighbours, who ga7
thered round them. Some one faid, I faw her

bring a child home in tare-tail of her gown the
other night. • 1 heard it cry. and I know it was
her, for I watched her." Mr. Salmon's daughter
was prcfent, and they Paid to her, you .fec how
it is, Heller, this is done to cheat you ; you will
find the is a had *one."—They then went to the
Police Office in Worthip.ilreet, and the Magi (Irate

long time before fhe would let them fee the child ;
at laft Ray fent•for a Dodos, who infifted upon,
its being opened. At this laft vilit they alfr) found
the child's cloaths, which were Bolen with it.—
Some parts of them were found hid between the
mattrefs and the bed.

John Ray, a Police Officer, Paid, he was &-
reeled on the 25th o‘june, by the Magifirates at
•Worlhip-fireet, to accompany the latt witnelfes to
the defendant's houfe at Cooper's Gardens, on the
listurtat,y Road ; when they arrived there, the
maid Arrant timed veryaiviie to their going up
:Oaks icit upon his • mentioning that he • was a
Police Othcer,.they all, went up. On his entering
thecroom where the defendant was in bed, he faw
every appearance of a lying-in-room p white curtains
to the windows and to the bed, and the defendant

in a white bedgown : he then told the defendant
who he vas, and what was his butinefs, and de-
fired her.tolliew the child to Mrs. Impey ; the de-
fendant .pofitively refufed, crying out that it was
her child and preffing it very clofely inter arms.
As the witnefs was not able to afcertain the fact,

a Medical Gentleman in the neighbourhood (Dr.
Welton) was Vent fox; he, upon examining the de-
fendant, told the witnefs that her dory was altoge-
ther an imOfition, and defired him to examine the
room (de ohe clothes in which the child was dreft
when it wits Bolen ; he accordingly fearched, and
found in the bed Tome of the (lathes, which were
immediately identified by Mrs. Atterbury. and
Mrs. Impey : they then obliged the defendant to
(hew the child, which was immediately claimed
by Mrs. Impey at hers : the witnefs then told the
defendant that the mutt immediately come before
the Magiftrate, and although the had before ailed
the part of a fick-woman, who had been delivered
but three or four days, the then appeared entirely
to recover her health and ttrength, and could, no
doubt, hove walked to the OEce, if it was not for
the great crowd of -people which made it more
advifable for her to go in a coach. The witnefs
added, that without being a great intige refpeet-
ing young children, he could fay pofitively that
that child- was more than three or four days old
at the time, and that it appeared to be almoft
starved when they law it; they were alritoft afraid
it. woukl.not live till they, sot to the Office in
Worthip-ftreet.
Dr. Welton was then called upon, and gave his
'evidence in the molt clear and diftina matter ;
'bat at the fame time (hewing the ftrongeft feelings
.of honeft, indignation at the horrid crime he had
sated in di covering; he Paid, that when he came
into tbe room,it had every appearance of the room
of a &lapis esterawhand the defendant (creamed out,
" This is one of the people come to take my child
from me;" he immediately went up to her, and bid
her not to be alarmed, telling her that he was a me-
dical man, well known in the neighbourhood ; he
then fat down on the bedfide, and afked her, who
had delivered her ? She (aid. the did not know.—
When was the delivered ? Three or four days.ago.
Where ? • She Paid the was taken ill in Rag Fair,
and did not recollect the circurnflances. How did
the come home ? She Paid in a coach.—Who ac-
companied her? She laid the came alone.
The witnefs, upon this anfwer, being convinced
that her Rory was a lie, and that no perfon could
be fo inhuman as to fend a woman who had been
juft taken in labour home in a coach unaccompa-
nied, told the Police Officer that the was praiti-
fing an impfition ; the more he examined her in
his profdlional capacity, the more he was con-
vinced that (lie was telling lies, and that in fait (he
never had had a child. He added, that of all the
women whom he had ever attended, her conduit
and converfation was the teen indelicate and dif-
graceful ; and that at length be told her that it
was in vain for her to attempt to trifle with him
any longer—the mull produce the child, and go
before the Magiftrite. As foon as the Police Of-
ficer had found the clothes, the no longer ailed
the part of the lyintin lady, but got up, and even
pulled the bed out in order to look for Tome of her
things. He then defired the Nice Officer to give
the child to its mother Mrs. letipey.
Mr. GLIDE, on the part of the deft *dant, oh-
jeited, that the evidence did hot fupport the in.
diament, which was upon the Statute enacted to
prevent the praaice of taking away children for
the fake of their clothes; it was manila that in
this cafe, it was not for the fake of its clothes that
the child was (tolen, nor did the defendant, for
lucre of gain, as charged in the indiament, receive
thofe clothes. The child was Rolen for Tome other
purpofe, and the value of its clothes certainly ne-
,ver entered into the coolideration of the defendant.
h therefore appeared, that however immoral the
as of the defendant might be, yet, what the law
had made felony, the (tripping infants of their
clothes, never had entered into her head.
The Magiftrates having confidered this objeEtien,
Mr. MAINWAItIMO Rated 10 the Jury, that as of
all _cafes which could be determined in a Court, the
molt melancholy was, when an innocent poi fon
happened to be convilted ; the next affiliting
cafe is, to fee a molt hardened and abandored
wretch, like the defendant, whom every perlon its
Court mutt feel to be guilty of one of the mitt
