LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF ICING'. MAY is.

THE KM° V. JOUVAVX.

This cafe mutt (hock the feelings of every human I
heing'who has a tingle (park of humanity in his
bofom Such cafes, fortunately for the honour
of 'he Nation, very feldom occur.
Mr. ATTOIIIF y:Gsw mem.. in his addrefs to the
Jury. laid this was a cafe which he perfiraded him.
felf would very deeply intereft their Mice and
comyraffion, and by interefling their jatlice he
hoped it might prevent the comminion of fimilar
- offences in future. The eitcumftances he had to
lay before th-m were of fo (insular a nature, in,
point of cruelty towards young and unproteaed
y-rfons, ulna were apprentices to the Defendant,
who is a Muffin worker—the circomftances were
fo flocking in their nature, that he was perfuaded
the punithment would be fuch, though that was I
but a fe:ondary objea, as would hold nut to others 1
a denunciation againft the commiffion of fuch
critics in future. This Defendant had feventeen
female apprentices, three of whom were from the
pad% of Greenwich, and the Officers did annual-
ly, or oftener, make inquiries into their fitnations,
and by Co doing, had been able to difcover the
Rate of the perfons they had fo pot out. In the
month of December laft two of there girls made
their efcape, and difclofed a feene of horror which
impaled on the Officers an immediate obligation
to make inquiry. On inquiry it was found that
Safannah Archer, the young woman on whole
account this Indiement had been preferred againft
this man, was famiffied almoSt to death, and five
of them had *finally expired by want. Thefe poor
wretches were Co Starved that they went to the
bog-trough, and deprived the pigs of part of their
noorithment, in order to fupport expiring nature.,
This man firft lived at Hackney for a (tort time,
where the neighbours heard the shrieks of there
prior creatures, whom he beat moSt unmercifully
wtta a cane, and made them work far beyond their
Strength. He kept them at work from four or five
in the morning till eleven or twelve o'clock at
night, and fometimes till two in the morning, and
fometimes they worked all night. During a part
of the time they had three meals a day, but at laSt
they had only two, which confifted of bread and
water. They had a little meat on Sundays. When
thefe poor creatures were expiring he beat them
with a cane, and faid he had got a thin cane that it
might cut into their Mk. This cruelty, the Attor-
ney-General faid,would be detailed bythewitnefes.
The firSt was Sufannah Archer, who faid She
was 'fifteen years of age, that the lived with the
Defendant firft at Hackney, about fix months.—
They had a Slice of bread and a little tea for break-
fart about nine or ten o'clock in the morning, and
the fecund time they had any thing to eat was
about four in the afternoon, they then had frame
bread and water if they wanted it, and they had al-
fo a bit of bread for flipper. Sometimes they got
up at five in the morning, and at hallpaft four in
the rummer. They had only bread for their din-
ner, and water when they wanted it. Both Sum-
mer and Winter they got up at that early hour—
they had candles in the winter. Her bufinefs was
tambour work. Though they got up fo early, they
fometimes worked till twelve orclock at night, and
till two in the morning. They had no opportuni-
ty of walking out. There were feventeen of them.
They Slept up in the garret, where there were three
beds. No time was allowed for eating—their food
was brought up and put on their frames, and they
eat it as they worked. When there was no work
they had Sunday to themfelves, but at other times
they alto worked on Sundays. Some of the girls
who had friends were permitted to go out at Eaf.
ter and Whitfuntide, but thofe who hid no friends
never went out. Sometimes they had meat on a
Sunday, but never on a working day, except
fometimes in the winter, when they had meat once
a week on a working day. They were moll cruel-
ly beat by this man. He came up Stairs, and cut
their backs through almoSt, and the binA almoSt
flatted. He always uted to be beating her, though
.the always did her work as much as ever lay in
her power. The Defendant had three daughters
grown up, who looked after the apprentices.—
When he lived at Hackney the next door neigh.
hour ufed to give them meat and drink. When
she was hungry and could get nothing to eat, She
and others of the girls went to Mr. Offiorn's yard,
at. eat the hog's beans out of the hog trough.—
She left the Defendant near three months ago.—
He left Hackney becaufe the neighbours called out
shame upon him for not giving them viauals. He
.moved them from Hackney to Stepney at four
o'clock in the morning. When the officers of the
pariffi of Greenwich gave them money he took it
from them, and faid he would buy them Mewls
with it. Five of the girls died of a decline. They
wei e very weak. You could fee their bones through
their Skin. They at times had rice boiled in wa-
ter twice a day, without any fait or bread.
On crofs.examination She faid, when muffin was
ordered abroad they were obliged to do a great
deal in a Short time, and fometimes they were ob-
liged to fit up all night. During the year they
had left viEtuals than ever. She faid the thought
he ufed her worfe than the reSt of the girls, be.
cattle the could not do her work to pleafe him.—
She was there near fire years, and was half Starv-
ed. She never had enough. She never once had
enough of meat during the whole time She was there.
Mary Ruffel, another girl who had been in the
fame Situation with this man. Her evidence was
to the fame effcift, and flrongly corroborated the
teftimony of the Laa "Ansel.. She faid, he beat
Sufannah Archer very often, over the back, °mol-
ders, and bead, and there were a great many marks
upon her. He beat her alto on the face, and
pinched her ears. She faid, the had not been at
church for two years together. He never taught
any of them their Catechifm or the Lord's Prayer.
When they were reduced to two meals a day, they
were obliged to work as hard as before. They
fometimes had for dinner a Slice of bread and
three-pennyworth of potatoes among nine of them.
She and other girls went at times into Mrs. Of.
horn's yard, and picked beans nut of the Logs
trough and cat them, they were fa hungry.

Mrs Ofhorn raid, the lived dote by the Defen-
dant's h.mic at Hackney, about four years ago. As
to the particulars of the girls' work, the knew no
thing, as [he never was in hisioufe: but as to pro
per neceifaries and propet food, the was fore the,
d not. When the children came to this man at
k-
d, they looked fat and jolly, but they loon after
became thin. She at times gave them food, and
would have given them more, but the could not
afford it. The Officers of the Parilh came twice,
and examined them.
Robert May raid, he attended the Officer who
went to the Defendant's honfe to examine thefe
girls, on the Zia of January lafl. They found
them all working in a very warm ream 'There
might be ten or eleven of them at that time. The
' Overfeer defired fo.have.kme private examination
lof them as to the manner in which they were
treated. For that purpofe they took them into a
neighiouring publigihoufe. They appeared in, a
very ditty Rate, th/ir kin and their bones were
very prominent on their fhoulders. They appeared
very thin. They gave them Come bread and cheefe,
and they would have ate more, but they were
afraid it might have injured them. The Defen-
dant, when they went into his houfe, complained be
was Mort of work. They were very much ema-
ciated and ate very voraciouay. In a few days
afterwards they went agian, and brought them
away. •
Olivia Foird raid, the lived at the next door to
the Defendant at Stepney. She had heard there
poor girls kreaming out for mercy ; fie bad
turned-up the cloaths off their (boulders, and they
appeared to be thirsted :Limon to death. She alfo
had given them victuals. They were very feldom
allowed to walk out for exercife. She had not teen
them for a month together. She had Peen a great
many marks on their bodies, fome of them as large
as her finger. She had (hewn there marks to fome
good people. and had requetled them to let the
Parilh Officers know airy were in that fituation.
Mr. Serjeant Lasts comitteted himfelf with great
Mannar, towards this 'Defendant. He raid, he
had jilt flopped him as be was going into another
Court, and put a into his-hand, telling him
he had a good de of but had no money to re-
tain either Attorney or Counfel. The 'Learned Ser-
jeant faid, he felt it tole his. ditty to give this man
any affillance he could afford him. That paper
was in the form of a petition to Lord KkNYON.
No ufe could be made of it that day; but the Learn-
ed Serjcant thought there were fome things in it,
of which that unfortunate man might avail himfelf,
when he cause tsp for judgment, if the Jury found
him guilty, as he was afraid they would. The
Learned Serjeant crofa-examined all the witneffes
with great ability, and Paid every thing that could
be laid for this man.

Lord KRwxo■ difcovered great anxiety in this
but-incr.:. and examined moll of the Witnelfe'
fell. His Lordffijp Paid he was extremely furry
to hear fuch a cafe Rated and proved in a Court
of
_Mice. The bufinefs of that day was not to
inquire into the extent of the offence, but it was
his duty to take down the materials that might
enable him to report to the Court what the cafe
was. He need not repeat the (hocking Rory they
had already heard. Said his Lord(hip, why don't
the Pariffi Officers vifit Arch places oftener? Much
more attention is paid to there things in other
parts of the country. In the neighbourhood of
Manchefter, Mr. Mlle and the other Magiftrates
have thought it worth while to paygreat attention
to fuch objets. And the infpeding of fuch places
at (port intervals, would be as important as num-
bering the people.
Mr. ERSKINE.—" If there pradices continue
much longer, the talk of numbering the People
will not be fo great as it is at prefent."
The Jury round the Defend.int—Guilty. He
was taken to Newgate, and will be brought up to
recei+e judgment next term.
