LClvDO‘ ~EsSIONS.

Yellerday John Kanter was intlifted for an affeult
upon an Excife Officer of the name of Tht.ma% Pil-
lory, and when called upon, pleaded Guilty to the
charge.
Mr. FIELDING, cne of the Counfel for the profcu-
tion, then Dated the circumltances of the cale, which
were as follow :

Excife Officer had learnt that there were fame
fmuggled coffee in the houfe of one Solomon Levi,
in HotindfiEtch. The profecutor, along midi ano-
ther officer, went to the houfe, and told Levi what
they came for. He did not deny that he had fume
coffee in his houfe, and took them up flair's. There
he pointed to a bafket, and laid " that contains all
the coffee in my polfellion." They obferved the pri-
inner leaning upon a chair. He drew a knife and
threatened them, but upon being put in mind of the
confequenees that would refult from cutting or maim-
ing the raters, he put it up. Ile raid, however, that
they never could be filch fcaly wretches as to carry
away Inch a ttifling quantity of coffee. The officer,
Fillery, replied, that certainly if no more than that
'horrid be found, it would be scarcely worth while to
make a fizurc. They then came down Rails toge-
ther, sod upon fearching the kitchen, found a bag
of enffee, and knitted upon making their feizure.—
The knife was again drawn, and a cut given to one of
the officers over the fingers. The prifotter being
again admonighed, put his knife in his pocket. At
the fame time he took up a poker, and !truck the
officer Finery over the head, till the blood tan down
into hisbofom. A crowd was then colleae t about the
houfe, and amidit the contufion, the otriccrs made
their feizure and went away.
Mr. KNAPP, the other Counfel, then examined Til-
lery the prelecistor, who gave the fame account tuff
the tranfitni!in as had been given by Mr. kidding,
without any material variation.
The priloner, as has been already mentioned, ad-
mitted the charge, and only pleaded poverty and in•
toxication in mitigation of punifhment. The Court,
however, could not allow the plea of intoxication—
but in confideration of his having immediately ac-
knowledged his delinquency and his contrition, pro-
nounced the mildell punilhment which they could
do in confißency with the Aft of Parliament. This
was, that he fhould be imprifoned in Newgate for
one year.
Rarles was indoled for an drank upon
Elizabeth, the wife of Jt.,hn Stroud.
The profecutrix, Elizabeth Stroud. Rated, that
in Oilober Lift the was at Billingfgate with her hid-
hand, dining with a friend. When they were going
home, he bang a watermas, went down to the quay
to look for his boat, aid ordered the boy to take it

home. She, howevPr, wilhed, if poirible, to go home'
by water, and accornranied her hufband for that purl
pofe. As they were drawing near the St•tirs, the •,b-!
ferved a man handing on a tub, _who was tooling and
crying out like a "mad tali: trf:n." The words were
lo indelicate that the could Lot litter them. The
boat could not get clofe to the Chore, and her hut--
band requefted a waterman to allow her to flep
if to his cherry. He refuted, and a forine coined in
confequence. Her hufband was viol;ntis bear, and
afierwaf ds carried to a public honfe. The crowd in
the mean time colleeed round her. She called the'
mad talk terfor" a blackguard, and he gave her a
blow which knocked her down. When the was on
the ground, " Ora!sr Tub" and fume others of the
crowd, threw up her petticoats over her head, and
filed her very indecen'iv. She efcaped at hall, and as
th:: was coming up 'names 'tree:, the law the pi
frmer alongwitli other two men, (landing at a bakel'..
door. He took tip a quantity of mud in his hand,
and threw it into her's and her bulls-m.4's mouths.—
She did not know the saute of all this, except it was
that the people imagined that the was a w—ell be-
loved.

Mr. GURNEY addreited a few obfervations to the
Court in favour of the prifoner, who is a very decent
Mailer Carman in Thames•ltreet. A degree t,f doubt
being upon the cafe, the Jury found the prifoner—
Not Guilty.

Issoevsmv DEBTORS.-Mr. Allston Berries, an
Attorney, was brought up to be difcharged. He had
been employed in a cattle (for Mr. Alexander Levi,
and had been call in damages for embezzling his
money. He was hr.night up on the Aft in rBot,
but was remanded for the offence. He was now op-
poled on the fame grounds, and the plaintiff was
ready to mal:e out his charge. The prifoner alked
time to prepare his defence, and was accordingly or-
dered to be again brought up on the adjournment
day, which is the 2r ti of this month.
William Lea is, a printer, waste have been brought
up for fending his apprentice, George Jolla:an, to
lea. The Cotinfel Dated, that it was probable mat-
ters would be accommodated between them, and
therefore withed in the mean time, that this cak
fhould be allowed to (land over till the adjournment
day.—Ordered.
The Scflions were then adjourned till the 2ra cf
the month.
