COURT OF COMMON PLFAS, NOV. 3.

TETLEY V. STUTTLAND.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff as
owner of a barge, againft the defendant, who was
owner of a brig, to recover damages for having fo
negligently moored his •effel that it occafioned
the lots of the craft belonging to the plaintiff.—
The examination of witneffes occupied the whole
of the morning ; yet the fubjeet is not of fufficient
interett to juflify our entering into any detail.—
The accident happened on a very dark night. The
defendant's fhip was moored off Virginia Wharf,
Wapping, in the wake of a tier, and the plaintiff'►'
barge was coming up the river with a flrong tide
The perfons on board the barge perceived that the
brig had her anchor a cock bill, and they called
out to the people of the brig to let fall their anchor,
and (larboard their helm. This operation was not
performed, in confequence of which the barge ran
foul of the brig's bow, and the fluke of the anchor
going through her fide, the immediately funk. She,
was fome dayi afterwards weighed and repaired,
and the prefent anion was merely for the lois ac.
tually fuftained—this was proved to amount to
501. for which fum the Jury gave a verdict for the
plaintiff.

pofition, the

ever, on fuhrequent iriveßigation, tfie watch, in.

laid, were taken by her, at the profecutor's deltte,
to a neighbouring pawnbroker (in whole poifeiTion
they were found), in order to procure a fai the' cup-

Mr. COMMON SERIF ANT obferved, that verdiCts

After the names and feverAl offences of there
Convids were called over, Mr. Com Mai SF It JE AN T,
in a folemn and impreffive manner, addreffed them
as follows : ,
66 Prifoners at the Bar—You have been feverally
indided and con viCted of capital offences. You
have all had fair, candid, and impartial trials, and
the offended laws of your Country now hold you
forth as dreadful examples of their juft vengeance.
It is with great concern my Situation obliges me,
as organ of thole Laws, to pronounce the awful
fentence which your crimes have juftly incurred.
Your corfciences, prifoners, at the moment of per-
petration, mutt have warned you of the inevitable
confcquences of your condud; happy would it have
been for you had you attended to its didates.
g, The yoke of Society, and the violated inftitu•
tions of your country, have at length brought you
to the (hole and ignominy which you know mull
follow. May the dreadful fate that now awaits
you be a warning to fuch amongft you as by the
Grace of the Sovereign may efcape the extremity
of punifliment ; and may you, by a arid adherence
in future to the dittates of Morality and Integrity,
make reparation to the Public, and furnifh exam-
ples to others.
~ And you, unfortunate beings, whom Society
rejeds, as incompatible with its falety, I most
ferioufly recommend to you, to employ the Short
time allotted'to you in t:tis world in repentance
and prayer, as nothing but true repentance will
avail with that juft JUDGE before whole awful Tri-
bunal you are Shortly to appear. Nothing now
remains to me, Prifoners, but to pars the dreadful
Sentence of the Law, which is—That you Shall
feverally be taken hence to the place from whence
you came, and thence be taken to the place of exe-
cution, where you Shall feverally be hanged by
the neck until you than be dead.—And may the
Goa of all Mercies have mercy upon your fouls."
. This proceeding concluded the bufinefs of the
Seflion, which is adjourned, after the formal
meeting at Guildhall, until the tft of next month.

A brighter charioteer,
Whole face with manly vigour glows,
Conducts the youthful year.
Intrepid January with bofom bare,
Hja snow drop mantle o'er his (boulders
And Crocus (pear defies the white wined blaft ;
And lhiv'ring the fieceriliower, (miles Spring is near.

As if his long reign too quick &mad fly ;

Spite of thy frowns, I durit reveal,
What thou, old Man, ean'ft long conceal ;

To pluck thorn's majeftic plan !
And fovirthe Earth with flowdrs.
From pole to pose ball wing the whiten'd fails,
Till fcarce the bellowing waves the freight can bear ;
And Ocean grumble—yet propitious gales
Shall tie the motley world in bands fincere.

No longer Rhenusi fatafflood,
Swells its wave with human blood;
But fweetly flows a paftoral tide,
Reflecting all the margin's pride;

And fruitful Corn, the gifts of Peace.

So foal to cure the bleeding heart
The Widow's tear is wip'd by Joy.
