-41- 'rim HARVEST.
Biamknawase, Autruse 27.—Very little grain
remains on the ground in the neighbourhood of
this town, and a few more fine days will finifh the
gathering of a moll abundant and full-grown bar-
veft, and in a feafon as aufpicious for the purpofe
as ever was witnelfed. In moft places throughout
the country, where there are barracks, or where
foldiers have continued long enough in quarterr,
the Commander in Chief his permitted them to
affift in colleting the ham., under certain re-
ftriaions from their own olliteno—This indulgence
is particularly well timed* aethe Supplementary
Militia has juft been called front the labouring part
of the community ; and the polite accommodation
farmers have met with whe hive applied to our
barracks for hands, is as prlik-worthy in the Com-
manding Officer as the fervice of the men has been
ufeful to the country.
CANTIIIIIIILIr, AUGUST 27.—The harvell is now
nearly got in throughout the country ; and if that
abundance, which the moll favourable feafon that
ever was witnefed has contributed to produce, is
not univerfally felt by the public, the fault mutt
ref with that fyllern of land monopoly which pre-
vails in this part of the country to a moft alarm-
ing extent.
To give tome idea of the nature of this prattice,
it is fufficient to Rate, among numberlefs inftances,
that there is one man in this city, who is the leffee
of about a dozes farms, each of which ulkd for-
merly tc maintain in comfort and independence a

•
fubftantial yeoman and his foray ; and that ewtry •
one of thefe farms is managed by a deputy; car fer-
vant, who lives in a half ruined farm-honk, where
there are no cows, and where he Call feed neither
pigs nor poultry. This is not all—the wages
which thefe poor men (who were once farmers
themfelves) receive, is fo trifling, that they can
have no intereft i.t increafing the produelivenefs of
the land they are employed on ; by which means,
although the Gentleman farmer who lives at a
diflance may fuftain no lots, the public mull feel
great injury from that decreafe in the produce of
the land, which mull always happen when the cul-
tivators derive no profit except the wages of la-
bourers. Many fields of wheat have been choaked
up with weeds from a want of perfost to clear the
ground of them. Formerly the lons of the far- ;
mers ufed to perform this bufinefs.
Noaw ;cm, Auc UST A.—The wheat and barley
harveft in Norfolk and moft of the neighbouring
counties is nearly finifhed, in a manner highly be-
neficial to the farmer, and confequently to theprb-
hr. Paoviot sex has thus far been kind and bounti-
ful, and there is no doubt, from the abundant
crops of every kind, that bread coin will thortly be
at a reafonable price : but it is to be hoped the pub-
lic will not too foon lofe fight of that fyllem of (eco-
nomy Neceffity alone has taught us, but Rill reibrt
to the ufe of beneficial fubftitutes, particularly
potato z, which we expctt will icon be fold at prices
confiderably lower than at prefent.

Late on Thurfday evening, Thomas Lovett was
brought to Bow.ftreet, charged by WILLIAM Tav•
Loa, Efq. proprietor of the Opera Houfe, with
potting up bills without the Printer's name on,
them, which bills contained matters injurious to
him. Mr. Taylor Rated, that about 1 2 o'clock on
Thurfday,he was in Market•lanc, at. James's, when
he obferved the prifoner polling up a bill at the
corner of the lane, which was headed with very
large, letters, " Opera Houfe Creditors." This
induced him to read the bill, and finding the fub-
ftance was aimed againft him, and there being no
Printer's name to the bill, he feized the prifoner
and the bills he had about him.

The charge being proved, the Magiftrates con-
vifted him in the penalty of 201. which he not be-
ing able to pay, theyfentenced him to threemonths
imprifonment.—This is the &It conviftion under
the Aft of Parliament.

Wednefday morning Arts Fitzgerald, otherwife
Barry, was brought before the fitting Magiftrates
at Hatton Garden, oa a warrant obtained againft
her by Counfellor A. of the Temple, for riotous
behaviour at his Chambers. It appeared by the
evidence of Mr. A's clerk, that in the abfence of
his mailer, this woman burft into the chambers,
and laid dawn a child, which he under(lood to have
been Come time fine
„Awed a bit muffler ; that
he reprefented to her he could not let the child
flay, having had pofitive orders to the contrary.—
Upon his taking out the child, the woman began
to break the windows aad furniture and make a
noife, and went into the court and collected toge-
ther a great mob of reople.—This evidence was
corroborated by Courfellor R. and others.
Ann Fitzgerald, the woman, made a long and
abufive harangue, refle&ing upon Mr. A. but ad-
mitted the riot ; faid that (he wanted (hoes for the
child ; that the was only allowed half-a-crown a
week to maintain it, which was not enough ; that
Mr. A. ought to give more. It was to get him to
provide better for the child that the went near him.
The Magiftrate obferved, that if learned gentle-
men would take liberties with ladies, ladies would
in return take liberties with them; bur at the fame
time told the woman fhe had aged very impro-
perly; advifed her to take the child to the parifh ;
with affurances that, if ever the committed any
other outrage, (be fhould be feverely puni(ked.
As sa v tr.—Philip Roberts, Efq. was charged be-
fore the fitting Magiftrate at Marlborough-ftreet,
with affaulting Mr. Henry Collins, and alfo with
an attempt to enter his houfe forcibly and agaialt
his inclination.

Mr. Collins Rated, that he reticle(' in Norton-
ftreet, Fitzroy-fquare, and, for a length of time,
had been confiderably annoyed by the conduCt of
Mr. Roberts, who had accidentally met his daugh-
ter at the houfe of Governor Franklin. From
that moment Mr. Roberts bad paid his addreffes to
his daughter, much againft his inclination,and had
fine attempted to run away with her ; that he had
remonftrated with Mr. Roberts 9p the impropriety
of his conduit, and had, three weeks fince, been
into Warwickfhire to acquaint his family with his
milbehavour, who had done every thing in their
power that was becoming them to do ; that he
laD week received two anonymous letters, defiring
him to be upon his guard, as Mr. Roberts intended
getting into his hook, with the view of carrying
off his daughter : going home on Thurfday tlesiti;
he perceived a perfon !landing near hisdoor,
he furpeCted to be Mr. Roberts; but his eye-tight
being defalive, he walked towards him, when
he took to his heels and run away. Mr. Collins
followed• in the direCtion this perfon had taken,
and met Mr. Roberts in Titchfiehl-ftreet. A scuf-
fle enfued, and they were both taken to the watch-
houfe, mutuallharging each other. Mr. Col-
lins laid, Mr. Robertslt frequently challenged him
when they met in the arms Mr. Robetts denied
linking Mr:Collins, and the watchman fupported
this part of his evidence. He admitted, that nine
months ago, he offered to give Mr. Collins fatis-
ration, and lamented that the Lady's name hnd
been brought up.
The Magiftrate raid, there was nothing he could
take cognitance of but the violation of the peace,
or the proteClion of the perfon of Mr. Collins, if
be could prove liimfelf in danger : he could not
tie the legs of the Gentleman, nor be ruppofed to
take into cullody the inclinations of the Lady.
From the evidence before him, it appeared that
Mr. Collins had committed the affault, and as to
the challenge, that was of too long (landing to be
made the fubjea of inquiry now. He therefore
felt himfelf bound to difcharge Mr. Roberts, ad-
viling him not to moleft Mr. Collins, nor ant:tape
to enter his dwelling-boo& without permiffion, as
it might be attended with very unpleafant conk-
quences. Mr. Roberts raid be thould not, and
retrrect.
