SUR RE r ADJOURN4D SESSICAS.

Yellenlay Elizabeth norfall, inclined by the name
di- l lizahrth "liipn, was tried for affaulting, Ann Bax.
r. It appeared that the parties were ferva,ots to
/clr. Ettmonds, a gardener at Deptford, and that one
clay, towards the latter end of October last, the De.
fcn,tant defired A fon of the Profecturit to pile fume
turnips. This the boy refuted to do, on which the
Defendant vented a torrent of abide upon him, and.
on his mother taking hi% part, the Defendant knock.
ed hci down with a bunch of turnips, threw over her
two pails full of water, and finally put her knee on
her itomach. whereby the Prolecutrix loft her fenfes
for tome time. She was f. ill for a month that the
Doftor's bill amounted to between 3 and 41. The
fan of her diners was fully proved by the nude and
the Donor. •

For the Defendant one witnefs, named Thomas
Brown, was called. He Hated a finite contrary
Dory, and laid that inf'cad of the-Profecutrix being
heat, that the had followed the Defendant with a
in order to do her fonse mortal injury. The
v found the Defendant Guilty,
Mr. Serjeant ONs Loot then addreffed the wi!nefs
and faid, that nothing hut the poverty of the party
prevented hint from binding over the Profecutrix to
indiFt him for perjury. His conduct was truly fharre-
ful ; it was, however, a confolation ro refit& that he
would go out of Court with his character degraded
and difgraced.
Mr. fres, the gaoler, then informed the Court that
the Defendant was in the feventh month of her pteg•
nancy. She herfelf Dated that her hufband was a
private i•• the City Militia.
In thefe circumtlances the Count ordered her to
be difcharged on entering into her own recognizance
toattpear again fhould fhe he called up for judgment.
lYiliirriri Biewitt was indi&ed for alfaul•iirg Benja•
min Reeve, brother to a perfon of the fame name
who keeps the Clapham coaches. It appeared the
prifoner lot merly lived fervant to the Profecutor's
brother, but it did not turn out on what ground he
had relinquiihed his fervice. The afratilt was com-
mitted at the Elephant and Cattle on the gth of
4pril, where, when Reeve was mounting his box, the
Defendant came behind him and dragged him down
and beat him molt unmercifully.
Benjamin Reeve Hated, that on the gth of April
he was driving his Rage coach, and the Defendant
was at the fame time driving another. He drove
hi: coach thrice times acrofs the witnefs's carriage, by
which his palrengers were greatly alarmed. lie.
flopped at the Elephant and Cattle to put fume of
them down, and when in the ad of remounting hi>
box, w th his foot. on the fide iron, the Defendant
tame behind and pulled him down. His head Druck
the ground, and in thrice elfaying to rife, he was as
frequently knocked down to his mother earth. The
Defendant again attempted to level another blow,
but was preyented by a bir. Curling. He, however,
made thift to reach beyond that gentleman and
nightly Druck the Profecutor, raying, " D.--n his
eves, I'll kill him !" On his crofs.esarnination by
Mr. Moss is, he denied having ever told a Mrs. Hall
that Blewitt was broke, and would never drive auy
snot e.

The evtderce of Mr. Curling related only to part
of the aftattlt, a. the Protecutor was down before he
ohfcrvcd it. He, however, defcribed with confider.
able accuracy, the violent driving and outrageous
condtift of the Defendant. A gentleman named
Davis, palling at the time of the affault, depofed
the severity of the chaaitement experienced by the
Pt ofectitor, s hich bethought a fulfficient inducement
to him to give him his card with his addrefsi in order
to his appearance on the trial.
Mr. MORRIS then addrefred the Jury, in an able
fpe.cch, on behalf of the Defendant. He endeavour
ed to imprels their minds with the i3ea that Reeve
had perjured himfelf, in denying that he hid ever
told Mrs. Hall that Blewitt had 'brake and would
drive no mrre. To that poirt all the quellions he
had put to him went, but he had refolutely and ob-
tlinately denied the fait he now laid to his charge, I
and Ihould endeavour to fubflantiate by the evidence
of that lady: Mrs. Hall was then called. She ap-
peared to he a very old lady. She fisted that on the
day mentioned in the indiament, fhe was going from
Kennington to Clapham, and when (he met with the,
Protection's cnach, it contained four infide pafrengers.
She Paid to him that the would rather wait for the
coming np of the other, meaning the Defendant's.—
The n ofecutor faid that coach is broke, or given
up, or fomething to that effc ; the witners exclaim-
ed " poor man !" The other parts of her evidence
were unimportant.
The Profecutor was again called up, and be perfift-
ed in denying that he had laid any fuch thing, or
that if he had, he had no allufion to any ad of infol-
vency on the part of the Defendant.
The Jury found the Defendant Guilty, and the
Court fentenced him to be imprifoned three calendar
months in the County goal.
