.171DDLASEX SE)SIONS, 1.41 V. 7.

There Sections commenctd this day before WIL-
LIAM NIA INWAIRING, Eft!, and a Bench of Juices.
On calling over the names of the Traverfe Jury,
an apology was made for the abfenee of Mr. Bur.
dett, paltry conk, in Holborn, by a Gent Tertian, who
intreated the indulgence of the Court in his behalf,
as he was In deeply engaged in the mannfa'lure and
Pale of twelfth cakes, that his intereft would be ma-
terially injured, fhould he be obliged to leave his
flop. The prefent was the only day itt the whole
year•on which it would be inconvenient for him to
attend.

The Court, with great good Lumour, excufed Mr.
Burdett's abfence. '

The greateli part of the day was confumed in
trials for aittults.

`rains, taMerd, an old looking man, was indifted
for all:suiting Amelia Nethercliff, near Hounflow, on
the loth of June, 18ot.
This profecutrix might have been fair and attrac-
tive in her more early yea: s, bin time had been at
work upon her vifage, and had materially changed
her appearance. She Rated, that walking along the
road on the day mentioned in the indiament, the
perceived Tome weeds growing in a (mall enclofure,
which the thought would aff,rd a meal dainty repalt
to her cow. She entered the enclofure through the
fence, in order to cut the weeds, and while in the aCt
of doing fo, the Defendant came behind her, and
took hold of her by the thoulders. She made a cut
at him with the implement the ufed in mowing down
the weeds, which did not deter this hero from per-
rifting in his attacks. He behaved to her very rude-
ly, and with great indecency. She did not tell her
hufband any thing of the matter till lately, and the
had good reafnns for keeping it feeret, as the had
brothers and filters in the neighbourhood, and would•
of eourfe have become the fubjeft of univerfal con•
verfation. The caufe the affigned for the profecu-
Con at this remote period from the affanh, was, that
the Defendant, on all occaflons, *ben he met her,.was
conflantly interrupting her, and turning her into ri-
dicule by infulting and mocking her.
Mr. GURNSY addrefied the Jury on the part of the
Defendant, wlp.fe fituation, he laid, was one of ex-
treme fingularity. The affault charted agaitift the
Defendant had been committed three years and (even
months ago. The Defendant could not in any other
way refute the charge than by utterly denying it.—
He Was charged with a common affitult but if the
Jury credited, in the fmalleft degree, what the pro-
fecutrix had Rated, he ought to have been indicted
for an affault with intent to commit a rape. The
Jury would weigh in their minds the nature of fuch
a charge. It was a charge eafily made, and difficult
to be denied ; but it ought to be made on the in-
Dant, the party ought not to Deep or ref until the
accufation was brought forward. This was not the
cafe hete ; and the Jury would, by their verditi, thew
that they had no faith in what had been detailed by
Mrs. Nethercliff

The Jury inßantly found the Defendant—Not
CII.Ity.

Benjamin Dowfili and William Sheppard were indicted
for ad:inking John Monk. The profecutor in this
cafe was a fcavenger and nightman ,• and the De-
fendant, Dowfett, was a conitable of the night in
Mile-end New Town. The profecutor had given a
(upper to fix of his workmen, and when they were
gain, home, at nearly two in the morning, the De-
fendant Dowfett afked who they were ? They re-
plied they were Gentlemen. The Defendant feized
one of the party by the collar., and called Sheppard
to aid and allift him in the King's name. The pro.
ficutor on this came up and interfered, when Dow.
feu Paid he would take him to the watch houfe, which
he did. While in the watch houfe, there was a fcuffle,
in which Dowfett got a blow on the eye, but it did
not appear by whom the blow was inßiaed.
It was attempted to be proved on the part of the
Defendant, that he defired the people to difperfe,
but nn tedimony was given to that effea. The-Jury
found the Defendant, Dowfett, Guilty, and acquit-
ted Sheppard.
Mr MAINWARING recommended to Monk to fhake
bands with the Defendant, and to make the matter
sp. Monk replied, he did not come to the C3urt to
ba imprifed upon.

Thc Curt fcntenced the Defendant so pay a fine
of 3s. 4d-
.Vortha B ?flock, alias May Lrnilon, was next tried
on two indiamenf., charging her with two feveral
ail:tubs on George and Thomas Hinckley. There
was alio a eras indiament by Mary Lendon againa
Thomas Hinckley, for affaulting her.
It appeared that Mrs. I.endon and her hufhand
were very turbulent people, often quarrelling with
their neighbours. On the loth of Anguß lad, which
was a very hot day, Mr. Hinckley and his fon, who
were Excite rilfi:ers, rowed up againft tidefrom Wool-
wich to St. Catherine's. They went home, and had

not been in the honfe ten minutes, till Lendon, the
hufband of the defendant, came down the court, and
ufed moil abominable language to Mrs. tlinckley,
an old womanalmott 70. He laid, Come out you
BAzebub b—h, or I'll draw you out." Mr.
Hinckley, fen. went nut, and Mrs. Lendon tiruck
Lim with her tight hand on the flionlder, and wit!i
ber left the tore his face. Mr. Hinckley, difdati.init
to fliike a womaii, told her that flit was a ful
On this his fon Thomas came out, in order to tak:
birn.away, and 1,04,110,114iPS up a pan of.

water, threw it into his fun's hofons,whidh was
open, owing to the heat of the weather. The con-
iequence of this was, that Thomas had beat ill ever
!ince.

Thomas Hinckley, who appeared in a very feeble
and fickly nate, depofed that he had St. Anthony's
fire in his throat, occafi .ned by the ablution he had
undergune Pons Mrs. Lendon ; he added. that the
had torn his thin and lacerated his face. He admit-
ted having itruck her, but denied having done fo
until the tirit atraulted him.

The Jury Lund her guilty, and the defendant was
ordered to pay a fine of acs. for each of the two
alfaults.

THE MSG O. XPEGAN.-A HOP.

Mr. GURNEY Rated, this was an indiftment open
a Ilatute paired in the reign of Geo. 11. by which all
places approloiated n. mulic and dancing were re-
quired to be liccnfed at tree quarter feflions by the
fslagiltrates. The defendant was a perfon who, in
utter defiance of this Ilatute, kept a room for the
purpore of dancing, which of late had become fo in-
tolerable a nuifance to the neighbourhood, that the
parilh had been at length compelled to commence
this profecution. It bad not been inaituted without
fufficient warning. The defendant had been called
again and again before the Veflry, as well as the
Magistrates, and had repeatedly promifed to abate
the nuifance, but he had as repeatedly broken his
word. He occupied the fir( floor of a houfe in
Duke's-court, St. James's-flreet, which was open
every night of the week, Sunday excepted, for the
amide:Trent of dancing. The defendant was blind,
but he t‘a.; a pc:feel Orpheus at the fiddle. His com-
pany co:lfillzd of fervants, and look women of the
town, oho paid is. for admittance ; and the difor-
ders they cJmmitted were mutt abominable. He
thould prove the cafe by the neighbours, and tome
of thole who frequented the place, upon whole evi
dente the Jury would haire no difficulty in pronoun-
cing the guilt of the defendant. Mr. Welby and fe-
veral other inhabitants 'of Duke flreet, the back of
whole houfes adjoined the dancing-room, dcfcribed
it as the rant of diforderly fervants and abandoned
women. They Rated, that tl:e dancing generally
terminated in broils and general combats, which re-
quired the interference of the watch. Phillimore, a
waiter at the Thatched-houfe Tavern, acknowledged
he had been there, and that the defendant received
the admittance money, and appeared to be mailer
of the cv'enonies. His reafon for attending was
to learn to dance.—Field, a Gentleman's fet vant,
Paid, he went there to amufe hind-elf with dancing ;
he never law aJty thing amifs on the part of the we-
men. A watchman, whole beat was near the place,
Rated, that he frequently attended the dancing•roont
to correa the irregular meatuses of the daacers
He ufually found them not looting it, hut filling it
all together. The Chairman obferved that this was
preciltly the evil which the Legiflature intended to
punifh and remedy. The Jury pronounced the de-
fendant Guilty. The Chairman:silted the defendant
what affitrance he could give, if a flight fentence
was palled, that he would not continue the nuifance?
The poor (idler fell on his knees, and declared, if he
was forgiven, he would abandon his (resider, and
difcontinue his dancing-fchool. It was intimated to
the Chairman, that he had made the fame protetla•
tions an hundred times. The Court, therefore,
thought proper to confider of the puniflunent he me-
rited.

confiderable variance of opinion amongft its members

M. Da &Goa, fnn of the well known literary cha-
radter, who was Ambaffaclor at Berlin and Peterf
burgh previous to the Revolution, and who is now
Matter of the Ceremonies to BONAPARTE, was lately
killed in a duel by General Cauuttisourr. The dif-
pute from which this affair refulted, took place in
confequence of M. DP SEGUR, jun. expreffing his de-
teflation of the atrocious feizute of the Duke D'EN-
ontEN,iti which CauLINCOURT was a principal agent.
At the firft fire M. DE SEGUIt was (hot through the
head. A brother of this young officer was lately
found drowned, and Come fufpicions are entertained
that he did not peat by accident.

Dtrec.—On Friday laft a meeting took place
near Plymouth, between Captain G— and Lieu-
tenant R—, both of the Royal Navy, when af•
ter exchanging (hots, happily without effedl, the fe-
conds interfered and amicably adjulled the difpute.
The following is Paid to have been the carafe of the
duel :—Lieut. R. had dreamt three fucceflive nights
that a ccrtain number would be a prize of Twenty-
five Thoufand Pounds in the caning Lottery, which
he mentioned to Captain G. but never intimated any
intention of having that Ticket ; he however wrote
up to his agent in London to procure it, who found
the Captain was beforehand with him, as he had
got it the day before, and refufed to give it up. By
the intercefllon of the feconds, it is fettled that they
are each to have half the ticket, and as they are
both very meritorious officers, we lincerely with they
may have one of the numerous Capital Prizes with
which the Scheme abounds.

Thurfday night the houfe of Mr. Dunnel, time-
maker, at Mallingford, was entered by fome thieves,
who perforated a large hole in the wall, in which
they mull have been engaged for feveral nights.—
They then carried off leather to the amount of 301.

lix children ; and this flock be had purchafed only

Lately. at Rochford, Jofeph Robinfon, a native of that place,
who attained the remarkabk age of 104 years. His occupation
was t►at of a hufbandmaii, and within the lan fcven years he was
capable of performing his daily labour. He took great delight in
following the hounds, and to a very late period of his life joined in
the chace with all the ftrengt 111 and vigour of youth.
Aged 24, of a confumptien, in the towuland of Magberabeg,
near Dromnre, the fell taught poet, William Cunningham, who,
while he was a poor weaver boy, ha :Tog received the fiat rudi-
ments of education at one of the Bithop of Dromore's Sunday
fehools, had, by reading fuch books as he could borrow, made to
coanderable a progrefs, that in the autumn of 1800, he prettified
his Lordthip with a copy of aeries, requelting the loan of books.
Thelllthop being ftruck with the marks of genius difplayed in this
poem, refeued him from his loom, and placed him at the Diuctfan
reboot of Dromore,where his application was to diligent, that in
little more than two years he had read the principal Latin and
Greek ; ►eing thus qualified to fuperlntend the education
of youth, which had been the objedt of hit wide-, he was rectived
early in the year 1804 as an affißant teacher in the Academy of
the Rev. Dr. Bruce, .f Belfalt, where he was diftiriguithed for
his diligence and Ocill, in preparing the boys under his tare, to be
