WIT ASSIZES, MAIDSTONE. JULY std.
Ipi IMO [IMO M. MOOS.
Mr. Serjeant anaemia° anted that this was ark
information agaitta a perfoft of the name of Rick.
and Hook, for affaulting a Revenue Officer' and
. • ' refcuing goodi he had feiied. The officer and
•• • his companion had completed the leisure of Air-
teen calks, and talked the fpirits, when a tie girl,
who had obferved. them, ran to it public houfe,
where there were fite fmngglers, one of whom was
the Defendant. Upon her giving the alarm they
came out, and ;Milted the goods fhould not be
carried away. One of the officers drew a pilled,
and Paid they would both nand on their defence.
The fmugglers (kid they • would have the fpirits
that as there were but two officers, they could kill
but two, and then the ref would certainly murder'
• them. The Defendant offered to let the officers
. riave five of the calks, but they Willing upon the
whole, he purpofed they fhould arm themfelves
pith large (tones. The officers not being able to
• set any affiftance, were obliged to leave the goods
. to polfeffunt of the frougglers. This was the cafe ;
and, though there had been no perfonal affault,
yet it was an offence which deferved lettere punifh-
. meat.; for, whether the goods were refcued by
force-or by threats, the confequence to the public
was precifely the fame, by the injury done to the
revenue.
Thomas Woodhoufe Paid, that on the yt II of
March tall he was Sneervifor of the Excife in this
' county : on the morning of that day he feiaed 13
calks of fpirits, on the premifes of one Richard
: he tailed, and found it was foreign gc.
neva. There was a young woman, who ran off to
a public houfe, and as he was going with a cart to
take away the goods, he law the fmngglers com-
ing down, tutted with flicks and (tones ; they were
lye in number, and the Defendant was one ; they
tired imprecations, and (wore the goods fhould not
be taken away. Hook attempted to compromife
the matter, and offered &It three, and then five
tubs ; but finding the offer was not accepted, he
fent to the public houfe for the horfes, and the
fintigglers were proceeding to load them. The wit-
nefs laid be would certainly (hoot the firf man
who attempted to load the goods; however, he
forbore firing. The fmugglers armed themfelves
with large flint llones, anTfucceeded in forcibly
carrying off the goods.
Mr. Serjeant Bass laid, he did not feel himfelf
capable of refitting this evidence : but there were
eircumaances of mitigation which he ffiould lay
before the Court when the Defendant was brought
up to judgment. The Defendant was foundGellty.
• THE NG V. Waal).

Mr. Serjeasit g fail, that this was all.°
as information for agaultini; an ctEcer

of John Neville. The elm= fiances were there:
the profccutor was, on the 3d Of April laft, on
horfeback at Eaft Peckham, when he obferved the
Defendant palling by leading a horfe. Neville
went up, and defired him to (top. The Defendant,
who had a large club flick in his hand, fwore he
would not, and he immediately followed up this
declaration by ftrikinF him a violent blow. Neville
feized the bridle of his horfe, and the Defendant
again/(track him a fevere blow; after which he
took up feveral large (tones and threw at him.—
One of them hit Neville'shorfe, and he fell down.
Fortunately a farmer, who had keit the whole
affair, ran up to his Alliance. Neville was fo ex-
tremely ill from the blows he had received, that he
wasobligedto be carried home, andhe wasconfined
for a coaliderable time to I .is bed. It was for this
aggravated ALL& the prefent profeculion had beet;
inaituted.

John Neville's evidence entirely corroborated
the above aatement. He added, that when he had
warded off one of the blows, the Defendant d—d
him, and faid if it had not been for his arm, he
fhould have done for him then.

This evidence was confirmed by the farmer,
who had obferved the tranfaEtion.

Mr. Sorjeant heft faid he fhould not, in this cafe,
trouble the Jury, with any defence; but lhould fuh-
mit to the Court hereafter what he bad to offer in
his favour. He was accordingly found Givi/o.

ESSEX ASSIZES.--CHELMSFORD, AUGUST 13.
DOE, ex dtp7. THORNTON D. ti A HRH
teatu.oen AND TENANT.
Mr. GARROW Paid, this was a queftion between
Landlord and Tenant. He knew the Jury would
take care to dirpore of filch a queftion with as much
impartiality towards the Plaintiffs as if all of them
were Landlords. He never raw a cafe in which
it was lefs poffible to doubt the propriety of a
Landlord's determining to make his Tenant furren-
der his Leare, nor had he ever heard of more grofs
mircondud on the part of a Tenant to provoke his
Landlord, than that which was the fnbted of com-
plaint againft the Defendant. Sometimes Land-
lords complained that their Tenants did not per-
form their covenants, becaufe they did not purfue
that courfe of hulbandry which was the cuftorit of
the Country; but Juries told them, if a Tenant
was not bound down by the terms of his Leafe to
follow a particular eourfe of agriculture, he was at
liberty to adopt that which he thought belt. In
the prefent initance it had been exprefsly
ed, that the Defendant fhould do fuch and filch
things. and refrain from others; if,,,tberefore, he
had entered into covenants, and wilfully broke
them, there was no one who would pot fay he
ought to -firrrender his term. It would be fliewn
that the Defendant was warned, not to conduit him-
felf in the manner he had done. There were fe-
veral grounds upon which the Plaintiff infifted the
Leak-had been forfeited : in the fir& place,. the
rent was in arrear. The Defendant, howefer, had
paid the amount of it into Coin t but he fhould tell
his Learned Friend fuch a payment was no an-
fwer ; for if a Tenant covenanted to pay his rent
at a certain time, he was bound to do fo ; and if
he did not, hie Landlord had a right to deprive
hiin of his Leafe. But the otherlubjeets of com-
plaint were more material--it was alledged, that
he had' kept the premifes, honk, and buildings in
a -molt miferable Rate of repair, notwithftanding
the Plaintiff's Steward, after looking over the
Farm, and finding it in a Rate of dilapidation. had
affigned him a fufficient quantity of oak and elm
to effect the neceffary repair; he had allowed him
Its much elm as would produce sec° feetorplank.
How would the Jury fuppofe he bad employed
this timber i Perhaps in repairing dre'Fierm as
far as it would extend ?--No fuch thing—he bad
employed it in making a tall, ankward-looking
garden fence, fuch as no one ever faw before in
the Country, or any man excript the Defendant
would havedreamt of. He vraftedievery bit of the
timber in this fanciful ereaingoffomething,which
was unlike every thing,and for the fake of his hh
pallifades, the Farm was faffered to go (till far-
ther to decay. With regard to the management
of the farm, the Plaintiff complained it was a di-
re& violation of every covenant of the Leafe ; it
was part of the covenants that none of the arable
fend fhould remain four years without a rummer
till, but it would be found tbat,inflead of perform-
ing that covenant, he had been all,thewhile tearing
tbe Leant': blood out of the land. Another charge
againit the Defendant was, that,inftead of content•
ing himfelf with the lops and tops of the timber trees,
as a tenant ought to have done, he had cut off the
head of a fine oak, though he had been told it was
a maiden oak,and ought not to have been vitiated.
Another caufe for forfeiture was, that he bad un-
derlet part of the land, without the licence of the
landlord. Perhaps, it would be Paid, that the part
he had let was not worth more than half a crown
a year. It was the very thing the Plaintiff 'corn-
plaitted of ; for, if half the effete had been under-
let, he would have known where to-have gone
for his rent ; but out of a farm laf aoo acres, if a
fmall piece of land was fevered, it was impoffible
to know where to look for it : befides, it would
appear the Defendant never intended the piece he
had underkt fhould rtvert to the Plaintiff. It was
fufficient for this Altion, if he had covenanted not
to let any part. He repeated his affurance, that
the jury would do the fame jultice as if they were
all landlords.
The Leafe was produced--it contained all the
covenants referred to in Mr. Garceow's opening.
Mr. Wildhire, the Agent and Steward of Mr.
Thornton, raid, he had the.care and intpeetion of
many thoufands of acres—he prepared the Leafe,
having firft made hiiurclf acquainted with the na-
ture of the lard; he accommodated the provitions
to what he thought the bell manner of cultivating
it. Some time alter granting the kale, he. looked
over the ellate—repairs were propofed, and it be-
came neceffary to alEgn timber; he alligned fmh
oak and elm as the tenant wanted ; he obferved
that the land had not been well cultivated; he alfo
obferved that many branches had been cut from
the timber-trees, and that they ba¢ been trimmed
higher d:ali they ought to have been. The farm,
taiteatl of being reputed, had grown much Wale;

' the timber, which was cut for the expects purpofe
of the repairs, was applied a different way ; it had
been ufed in making-a tall garden fence, for which
there was not the lead neceffity. The repairs at
prefent were in a very had ; the timber trets
had been all improperly trimmed ; the oaks bad
had their heads cut off, and were converted into
pollards, and, in fhort, every covenant in the leafe
had been broken.
The feveral breaches of covenant were fully
fubdantiated.
Mr. Jutice GROSE fuggelled that the Defendant
fhould give up the Lcafe, and that it fhould be re-
ferred to fome Gentlemen to fay upon what terms.
Mr. Serjeant B,sr, the Defendant's Counfel,
and Mr. GlatitOW, confenred to this recommenda-
dation, and it was agreed the Defendant thould be
allowed to remain on the premifes till the 24th of
June next, in order that he might have diffident
time to take off his crops ; and that the incoming
tenant fhould, in the mean time, be allowed to
tow his feed, &c.
Upon thefe terms the Cade concluded, and a
Juror was withdrawn.

POLICE., &c.

At Hatton-garden Office on Saturday, Draw
Lang, profeffor.of chiromancy, and T.6onta: Lovett,.
her fon, were charged with violently affaulting a
poor woman, and robbing her.
It appeared that the profecutrix, on Monday
week tail, was going home to her hulband's lod
ings at Iflington, about to o'clock at night. It
was dark. She was met in lluvat's-lane by the
two rrifimers, a woman and a lad. The female
prifoner offered to tell her fortune, which the pro-
fecutrit declined, laying the wifhed to get home;
The man Paid, D—n her, let us fee*lat we can
make of her ;" upon which they threw her down,
(tripped her cloaths off her back, and took half a
crown and a Chilling, all the money fhe ha& which
was wrapped up in a piece of flocking: They al-
to took away from bet a fnuff-box, and went off,
leaving her as ftark naked as Eve. She was dif-
covered in this lituation by the
.patrole_, who hu-
manely covered her with coats, and took her to a
publickoufe, where fhe received further affiftance.
A few days after, the old Sybil Came to this
very public-houfe, and laid (he had found d fnuff-
box. Upon her producing it, it was found to an-
fwer the defcription given by the profecutrix of to
box of which the was robbed, and the two Tao-
ners were accordingly apprehended, upon fulpicion
of being the perpetrators of the robbery ; when it
turned out that both the old woman and her fon
had been obferved to have flept in a barn near the.
place where the robbery was committed.
• The *old woman; during the whole time of the
examination, did nothing-kit laugh ;Md grin, pro-
telling that all that was (worn againft her was falfe,
and that, if there was a foul to be Caved, the was
as innocent as the child unborn. _ .

The other prifoner Paid he was a fhoemaker, and
had worked three weeks with his prefent mailer,
who Would give him a good charaeter.—His mat:
ter came forward, and affirmed, that verily lie did
not believe his fer!ant had committed this fin; for
that he had-been at his work until nine o'clock of
the night of the robbery, and then went away to
.the ale-houfe.

The Police Officer raid, there was evidence to
prove the two prifoners Were near the place where
the robbery was committed about the time Rated
by the profecutrix.—Cominitted for further exa-
mination. '

• Friday a Baker from Houndfditch appeared be.
fore the Lord Mayor, in confequence of the fol.
lowing complaint : having refilled the demand of
the King's-tas to the amount of eight or nine Mil-
lings, the collector took with him two conflables,
in order to enforce payment ; on their entering the
houfe, the defendant prefented two pubis at them,
declaring he would blow-the firli man's brains put
who fhould touch him or any of his property, upon
which they retired. In his „defence he allcdged,
that the plaids-were not loaded; adding, that he
was lorry for what he had done, and willing to
make proper recompence to the offended parties.
Thus the matter ended.
An excifefnan, named Pitt, was coinmitted for
trial, for purloining albs. of nails, belonging to
the Eaff Lidia Company.
Sunday, fe'nnight the houfe of the Rev. Mr.
John Evans, of Clerkenwell Clofe, was broke open,
and robbed of 161. and upwards in cafh and bank
notes, a medal of the s a bifhops in the Tower, a
curious fiver watch, in the form of a box, opening
by a fpring, and being palled by a different fpring,
-it opens, andifbews Nebuchadnezzar lying in Rate ;
a number of ancient coins, together With a great
quantity of plate, feveral rings, and wearing wp.
parel belonging to:the clerical function, betides
belonged to the, family, to a eoniderable
amount.

Early on Saturday morning, as the fou of a re-
(pc/table tradefman in Bedford-ftreet, Covent-gar-
den, was bathing in the Thames, near Somsrfets
Houfe, he was unfortunately Crowned, being car-
ried out of his depth by the tide. •

On Saturday evening about R o'clock, as a young
man of the neighbourhood of the H.aymilket, was
returning home from the country in a tingle horfe
chaife, through Holborn. he was kited with a. 'fir
olent fit of coughing, and juR as they had paired
Middle-row, he told his uncle he was ertremely
ill, and was fpitting blood. He jumped out of the
chaife, and ran into a flop at the corner of Chan-
cery-lane, when he fell down and expired. in lefs
than five minutes; medical al it was inftantly
procured, but to no effea. _ _ _

Thurfday, as a countryman, in King(land-road,
was driving his waggon, he accidentally met with
an acquaintance, with whom he flopped on the
road to drink ; and the friends got fo intoxicated,
that on going away, they both fell near the wag-
gon, the fore-wheel et which unfortunately palled
over the breaft of one, which deprived him of life, ,
and broke the legs of the other.
Some days lince a boy leaping en Come ftraw, at
Kirklington, Oxfordlhire, fell on the points of a
pitchloilc, which lay concealed, and the shafts, or
