Sufannah Archer, one of his female apprentices.
Alter Lord Kaaren had reported the evidence
given at the trial, he obferved that that child look- t
ed 'lrma miferably, and as if the had been ftal-ved I
in her growth. She was extremely little and ema-
ciated, and did not at all look to be of the age the

The Defendant faid,hewas an unfortunate man ; t
he bad no money either to fee Counfel or an At-
torney ; and he had been brought up to Court I
*Apia a mennent's notice, otherwife. he might

more fully before the Court when the party fisould
be called up to receive judgment. His Lordthip
withed to know where thole panels were now ?

enlar papers delivered to the Learned Serjeant.
There was only a fiaternent in the form of a peti-

Kt MYOII obfeived to him, that hikhumanity when
this man was tried had induced him to give his a 1
fiftanee, and a&ed him if he was able to lay any
thing farther before the Court ?
The Learned Serjeant replied, that lince the
time of the trial he had attended to this bulinefs,hut
he had no fait to lay before the Court which could
be verified by affidavit, and therefore he mull leave
him to the judgment and merty of the Court.
Lord KVNYON laid, this was a fad cafe.
The Defendant admitted, that through neceffity
and want of bufinefs thefe apprentices, during the
tall three months they were with him, were not
fed fo well as they ought to have been, but they
lived as well as he and his family did.
Lord KIX TO11•••••." Why heat thefe poor wretches
when their bodily Brellgth was not able to do as
