SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS.
Yefterday the adjourned Qcarter Salons for
Surrey were held at the New Seffions Hook, in
Horfemonger-lane, Southwark. The Court wag
occupied nearly the whole of the day; in the fol:
lowing caufes :
A Pruffian merchant of the name of ,Ambrofx
Crow, was incliaed for affaulting Hannah An
droyde, and two children, the daughters of a Ma
jor Stuart. The Counfel for the profecution open-
ed the cafe with confiderable feeling;and by point-
ing to the children (than whom we never faw two
snore beautifully intere(ling) Dating, that they
had both been feverely hurt, and one In much fo
as to be unable to walk for feveral dags by the un-
provoked violence of the defendant.
Hannah Androyde deppfed, that on the zt ft of
May, the was walking with the children in Surrey-
fouare, when the faw a mob collected, and the
defendant and his brother engaged in a quarrel
with fome young men, againtl whom the heard
they had drawn their knives. She got out of the
way, and while the was fpeaking
.of the citcum,
fiance to a woman who lived within a door or
two of the defendant, the 'defendant's wife began
to at)life her out of a one pair of (lairs window ;
the dewed her to deli(( from tiling fuck language
to one who was as good as the was, and was walk-
ing away. On her return back upon the Terrace,
the defendant ordered her to go home, which the.
Paid the would not do until the thought proper ;
upon which he direaly fboved her with much vio-
lence off the Terrace into the road, which is be-
tween two and three feet high. Though greatly
alarmed, the was not much hurt, and on her re-
gaining the Terrace in order to get to the children,
the together with both of them, was again thrown
into the road by the defendant; with fo much
force, as to by herfelf and the two children on
their faces in the dirt. A Gentleman Then came to
her *Stance and the went home. The eldeß of
the young Ladies had received fo violent a (train
on her back as to render her incapable of walking
for feveral days, and the other was much hurt in
the leg. A Mr. Roberts, who was accidentally
pang through Snrreprquare,faw the trituration,
and went pp to protea the profecutrix from any
further injury, and on her telling him to whom
the children belonged, he felt it his duty to go
borne with them (though unknown to Major
Stuart), and explain his knowledge of the affair to
the father.

Two or three women who faw the bufinefs,
corroborated the evidence given by the profecu-
trix, and Major Stuart hintfelf fitid, one of his
children had been fo ftrained as not to be able to
walk, and the younowoman who bad lived up-
wards of fix years m his family, 'from being to
winch alarmed, bad been confined to her bed for
kraal days.
Mr. MAIMIOTT eras-examined Major Stuart
with much feverity ; and we were forry to hear
Late family queftions put for which there was no
neceffity. 'The slefendant attempted to prove pro-
vocation ol the part of the profecntrix, by her
having ufed abufive -language to his wife. He
was, however, found Guilty, and ordered (which
was the foie °Ned of the profecution) to give fe-
corky, himfelt in =col. and two fureties in tool.
each, to keep the peace •dining his natural life ;
to be fined 6s. W. and to be detained in cuftody
until fuch fureties as the Court approved of were
produced, which not being done laft night before
the Court broke up, he was lodged in the New
Gaol.

cautzsas, SRITWILIGHTS, &C.
jaw Reilly and John Carpomer were indiaed
!or affaulting John Cox and Robert Howard.
Mr. MARRIOTT opened the café to the Jury, by
calling to their recolleaton the exiltence of a dan-
loran: confpiracy amonglt the Caulkers, Ship.
wrights, &c. for the pupate of obtaining more
wages. The profecutors he Elated to be two Men
who had adhered to their duty, and continued at
work, in confequence of which they excited the
anger of the confpirators.
Mr. Laws., as Counfel for the defendants, here
infifted, that as they were only indiaed for com-
mon afault, his learned Brother was every way
out of order in attemplotnceod blend it with an
offence which had oc fo much public
reprobation.

Howard• and Cox depofed, that on the 2t ft of
June laft, as they were returning From work at
Randall's yard, near the Half-way-Houk, they
faw about forty or fifty fawyers, &&. to avoid
whom they were about tq go another way, when
the two prifoners, accompanied by feveral others,
came up to them. The prifoners anted diem if
they did not work at Edmonds' Yard, which they
denied. The prifoners bad each a large Rick,
with which they knocked them down four or five
times, and on their eking for mercy, they told
them if they would not go to work again, tbcy
might go about their bufinefs, but if they did they
thould get ten times as much. Great pains were
taken by the defendant's Counfel to fewate the
of of the await from any idea of the corn•
bination.

The Court, however, On their being found
guilty, fentenced them to be imprifoned twelve
months each, and to pay a fine of 6s. Bd.

goaroza.—At the Salons for the county of
Norfolk, held at Norwich on Wednefday, W. Or-
fon, Eliza and Sarah Manlews, were conviaed
or uttering counterfeit coin, and fentenced to three
months imprifonment. Several impoitant appeals
came on at thefe feflions ; among others was a
fettlement cafe, in which the parilh of Beeßon
Regis were the appellants, and the parifh of Hun-
worth the relpondents. The hearing of .this ap.
peal occupied a conaderable time. It appeared,
that a pauper, feveral years ago, let himfelf out
