MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

efterdat Edward Upton, Anne his wife, and Mary
lieryon, were indiaed for •iolently affaulting a Mr.
Glooer, who keeps the Star public•houfe in the City-
road.

Mr. Glover, the Profecutor, being (worn, nate&
that on the day mentioned in the indietenent, about
three in the afternoon, the pt Wooers came to his houfe,
and firlt called for fome gin, which they drank—they
then called for a crown bowl of punch, which he,
feting therti already ton much intoxicated, refuted to
give them. They were fo angry at this, that all of
them fell upon him, pulled him down to the floor,
and while Upton and his wife were beating him with
their fills, Mary Hurllon, who is the wife of a Mal-
ter Butcher, beat time on his head with her pate en.
This performance was accompanied with all manner
of verbal abufe. He was at length extricated from
the violence of their attack, by the accidental en-
trance of a friend and et:lamer. But Mary Hul-
1-ton flew at him again with the ferocity of a tygrefs ;
kicked him about the belly ; and, with all the energy
of (laughter-houfe eloquence, threatened to tear out
his pluck.
In fupport of this ilatement two other witneffes
were adduced, from whole teflimony, it appeared,
that Mrs. Hurliton (certainly a very able-bodied
Gent/etymon) :stied in to formidable a Rile of ferocity,
as to render any approach to her extreMell danger-
ous. Some hackney coachmen, who fat on a table
in the tap-roorti, prefumed to laugh at her ; but at
one broke of her till the (wept them all off the table
like flies.
The Prifoners adduced no evidence, but told the
Rory in a quite different way. The Jury found
them—Guilty; and the Court fentenced Upton and
his wife to fourteen days imprifonment. and Hurl-
lion to twenty-eight days.
Mrs. Ewer, a Cytherean Prieefi, whore manGon is
the corner of Lifle.llreet and Leicefier-flreet, was in-
dieted for keeping a diforderly houfe.
She was advifed by her Counfel to plead guilty to
the charge, the proofs of which would be irrefragable,
if (he ventured to go to trial, and to enter into recog-
nizance to quit the hook immediately, and not let
it to any perfon who fhould occupy it for the like
immoraPpurpofes.
Mrs. Ewer was Co attached to her mention, that it
was lime time before the could be induced, even by
the perfualion of her Courifel, to quit it, but Paid (he
would keep it as her private relidence—the Court,
however, would hear of no compromife of this fort ;
and the Lady was reluelantly obliged to fubmit, ac-
knowledging a recognizance for scoot. and liable to
be called up to receive the judgment of the Court next
Seflion, in cafe of non-compliance.
A young man, named Ccx, was indi&ed for affault-
ing Thomas Leverton, EN. of Bedford-fquare, one of
the Worfhipful Bench of Juflices for the County of
Middlefex, in the execution of his duty, in Lincoln's
Inn Fields, in July lab.
Mr. Leverton bated, that having been in Lincoln's
Inn, on the evening of the affault, attending a Law
Confultistion, he was returning towards To rn Rile, on
his way home, when he raw a crowd ailianfled, and
a feu& between two young men. He felt it his duty,
as a Magiitrate, to command the peace, and tell the
mob to difperfe, faying he was a Magiltrate, urn
which the two parties, who were before engaged with
each other, turned up,,n him, feized him by the col-
lar, tyre his (hint and coat into ribbands, both of
which he exhibited in the Court. The young man at
the bar, be laid, was one of thole perfons who thus
affaulted him. Upon crofs-examinatinn by Mr. At..
Lay, he could not precilely fay, whether he had flruck
the traverfer with his flick, but it was very probable
he had made fome exertion with his flick to extricate
himfelf. He owned he had been charged by the par-
ties on the watch, but was liberated as loon as the
ssa•climan was tild hi: was a Magitli are.
The firvitnt of Mr. &Jane, of LinciAn'. Inn Fields,

intd in itirrob. oration at Mr. I.everivn..,.
tellimony, bet could not, however, fpeak very prill•
Lively trithe • perfnn of the young man at the bar.—
He acknowledged Mr. Leverton had Itriacit fever
times, he could- •not tell how often, with his flick, but
not before he had been laid hold of .14 one of the two
young men. •
A young man, the cleric clan attorney, Aid he law
the affair before Mr. Levert u: elute up, and law him,
almoft as (non as he came into the ctowd, Pike the
young man at the bar feveral times with his flick over
the arm.—The Jury acquitted Coe:

Coleman is a Miller Chimnerfweeper 13n3 on the
4th of November Wk. a number' of arch boys in his
neighbourhood, pt epariag for the annual celebration
of Guy Faux, took his cart from before his door, drew
it to fume difiance into the garden grouni of a perfun
in the vicinity, where they basted it with afparagui
tops, and other withered vegetables they fohnd there,
as fuel' for the next day's bonfire.
Squires,. who Oa as a Curator on the Manor,
purfued the boys, who were drawing I.ff the cart fo

a prize to the enemy: they, however, told Coleman
where his cart was. He went to pet it back, but
Squires pofitively refuted to full-ender is without the
writtertgutharity of his matter. Coltman perfified
in his demand, and was proceeding to frize his vehi
de, when Squires prefented nt him. a roily pittol, and
threatened 4, to blow his Ilart brains Ind." This me-
nace was anfivered in a Ole equally court:oar. " Aye,
do blow away and be d—d : you may have my
brains if-you will, but d— my eyes if You !hall have
my cart." Squires, finding his pi11..1 had no terrors
for the flurdy foot-merchant, drew forth a lolly
fcymitar, with which he dealt many a fell blow upon
the head of his antagonill, aid), however, was
eithek fo well fortified by his braver, or by its own
thiciarfs, as to efcape without a mortal wound.

gum, he had his ear fplit by Coleman, with the firoka
of a black-thorn flick.—Guilty—fined 3s. 4d.
