WESTMIAST.ER SESSIONS.

YeffeYday being appeal day the Court wasoccnpied
until a late hour in hearing feveral caufes of that de-
fcription, but they were not of that kind which ex
cited any material interea, except to the individuals
immediately concerned. That which molt attraeed
attention was an application to gnat a convielion
for a nuifance alledged to be committed in South.
ampton.lireet, Covent Garden, by the ereelion of' a
new front to certain premifes in that Ilreet occupied
by Mr. Pococke. The grounds upon which the cr.n-
viCion touk place were two : the one, that it pro_
jthed beyond the diaance from the wall r f the houfe
as eni.ined by the A& of Parliament ; and the
other, that it was compofed of materials (wood)
contrary to the ranee aft.

Mr. Cott sr, in fuppott of the convidinn, delivered
in the tece:fary documents upon which it was foun•
ded, and exptetred very conliderable alionifhment
that any appeal fhould be made againfl it, and fu li
more, that any pretence prevailed by which it could
for a moment be fupported, it having been proved to
the fatisfadion of the Magitirates before whom the
cafe had been heard, that the flrudure complained
of was an eredion projeding beyond the bounds pre-
fcribed by law, and that it was compofed of wood
initead of brick or Clone, which the Al direds it
fhould be made of. He therefore contended it was
a gond convidiqn, and could not be diliurbed.
Mr. ALLEY, for the appellant, took a great many
ohjedions to its form, and &knifed them at confi
derable length, to all of which the Counfel for the
refpnndent replied, and they were feverally over•roled
by the Court. The main objedion, and upon which
be molt relied, was, that upon the face of the record,
namely, the convidion, it dii not fet forth in legal
terms the title and defcriptinn of his Majeffy, in'
whofe name is was made, as it fhould have been let
forth purfuant to the Al of the 39th of the King,
commonly called the At of Union," which ex
prefsly declares what that title (hall be, to wit—
,' George, by the Grace of Goo, of the United King
dram of Great Britain and Ireland, King ;" but that,
intiead of filch, the convietirn fct forth the title
which his Majefty fonained before the Union, in
which Great Britain and Ireland were exprelred
without the words United Kingdom." and-crntain•
ing the addition 4. and fo forth ;" which addition, be

conterded, did not comprehend arty part of the now
title of his Majeßy, ;pd therefore by deCcribing him
rgl:!rtvile than by Roial Proclamation and by law
he was defignated, the conviCtion fo erroneous was
invalid, and onghi to be qualhed.
Mr. Con sr, in reply, argued that the words were
nmely furpluttge, and that if they were (Truck out
altogether, the .cinvittion would read equally well
without them. But Isel would not reit wholly upon
that principle. The words " and In forth," were
weal under-flood. and meant leveral titles which hits
Majelty actual y polllffeA, though, to lave trouble,
were not expreife.l now, even on the coins : for in.
flanc:, his Majelly was, and Rill is, Duke of Brunt.
wick and Lunenburgh, and Treasurer of the Holy
Roman Empire ; hut, to fay.: the none eft ry:tronble
olio much recitation upon the modern coin of the
United Kingdom, he is briefly defignated " Georgic:,
Da Gratia, Rex Pritanniarum." It was, therefore,
not that he did not potieft, Sut that he did not apply
thole titles upon all me ifi ms, and confequently
having them, evrryderree tinder hi, auth,rity might
legally exemp;Py.ali la the words .‘ and ci forth."
The Court deliberated tome time, and deciding
againfl the obje6tions made by the Counfel for the
appellant, confirmed the conviction, fo that the re-
fpondent, Mr. Pococke, muff :bate and remove the
nuilance.

The queilion of the propriety of charging sd. for
booking at an inn, upon goods coming by the coach
or waggon; was argued very fully. The Court was
of opinion, that where goods were left for rime time
in the watehoufe, a feparate charge might be made
far the care and trouble of the innkeeper in keeping
them there ; but that the Legillature by providing
ezprefsly for fuch cafes, and itipulating what was to
be paid for carriage, and what for porterage, meant
to include, under the heads carriage and porterage,
every expence that was neceffary for the conveyance
and Cafe delivery of the goods. The at of entering
the goods in a book, the Court decreed to be a mat-
ter of convenience to the perfon uko was employed
in the conveyance of fuch goods.

Seven journeymen shoemakers were indiffed for
an alfault upon John Francis. The profecutor (Wed,
that he was alto a thoemaker, and that he worked
for a Mr. Taylor, in Weliminller. He belonged to
a fociety, of which the Defendants were alfo mem.
bets, and having incurred a fine, he was told by his
matter he would no longer employ him, if he did
not go and fettle the matter with the toddy. He
accordingly repaired to a public houfe, where the
fociety met, when, after fitting fame time, he was
affaulted. and turned cut of the room by the com-
pany. He diflinftly (fated, that none of the Defeo •
dants (truck him, the alfault having been committed
by others, and he had indided the Defendants at the
fuggeltion of his father, as they had countenanced
and encouraged the others in beating him, and turn-
ing him out of the room.
Mr. MA INWARING faid, this was the moll filly and
ridiculous profecution he had ever wittiercd.
The Jury acquitted the defendant,. is there was
no evidence of their having been the °trending parties
William Knight was tried for ilealing about a p and
and a half of flocks, the property of Edward Binns,
Mount-fired, Grofvenor-fquate, on the 26th of
Auguft latl.

The protecutor flared, that on tie day mentioned
in the indiament, he had teen the prituner fill his
rads, and even his breeches, with the Hocks, which
were then produced. The Pi ifouer could, if he chofe
to be indultrious, earn tas. a day by working piece-
work, and wth king day•wcrk, the Prcticuter would
be very willing to give him a guinea and a half a
week.

The Prifoner did not deny the faa, but called fame
witneircs to his charaCter. He was tii,n I.,und guilty.
and fentenced to be imprifoned two months.

John Sprott and his wife were tried upon an in.
dittment tor affaulting Mary Hew ir, at Crown-court,
Soho.
It appeared from the evidence, that Mr. Spratt is
a refpedable rnanufaaurer of muffins and crumpets, in
Crown court, Softy, and his wife a relponfible dealer
in culinary vegetables, occur.) ing the lame fhop.—
Mrs. Hewit relided next door, and was an extenfive
profeffor in the fame kind of botany with Mrs.
Sprats. Some degree of rivalry was naturally
enough excited between the ladies by this circum-
fiance, on the old principle, " two of a trade," &c.
and on the morning of the affault tome bickerings
had arifen ; but towards the afternor n, as Mrs.
Sptatt was preparing topubryh, according to cuftom,
a large edition of piping hot crumpets, it was whif-
pered to him that the profecutrix h.: d laid fomething
which implicated the veal purity of his lodgers, and
colfzquently, the charaiter of his houfe. He went
forth, therefore, to interrogate Mrs. He wit, " how the
could purfitme to offer to fay any thing to the ditpa-
ragement of his houfe And, without waiting for
an anfwer, he advanced into her gait ifon, followed
by his wile, occupied her magazines, and commen
ced against her perfun fuch a general diicharge of
cabbage, turnips, carrots, parfnips, potatoes, Jeru.
falem artichoaks, onions, walnuts, apple., and all
kinds of vegetable ammunition, round And grape, as
quite to :Mound poor Mrs. Hewit, and excite her
tears that the was to be rooted out of the world.
Mrs. Spratt, at the fame time that her hqband
was carving on the war by land, was refolved to fuf
tain the attack by water ; anJ, applying herfelf to a
large tub of that cool element, which Hood in the
corner for the refrefhment of Mrs. Hew it's drooping
vegetables, with the cup of Dirrgenes, namely, the
hollows of her hands, fheferved out the water f r co-
pioufly upon Mrs. Hewit'a perf n, as, in her own
phrafe, " not to leave a dry thread upon ter carcafe."
To crown the whole, Mr. Spratt, with hi, clenched
fill, tipped her filch a Gregfon between both eyes as
quite thinned her.

A witnefs, who was paffing at the moment, and
faitained divers contution.; born a viley port:mei
diicharged by Mr. Sprats, supported the telliznony of
Mr► Hewit.

On the part of th etraverfers, their !a ndlord appeared ;
and he was not only In deaf hirntelf kart/1y to
hear a qusttion of Cuunfel, but teemed determined to
re.!.uce his audience to the fame level, try tpeaking In
low as tv be fcarcely audible. He c, uld only liate,

An attempt was made by a party of armed ruffians,
early on Tnefday niot lall, to deliroy by fire the
Woollen Fanory lately ellablif- at Bradford, Wilts,
by Merles. Divett, Nee, Jackfon, and Co. An
alarm being given, the villains fl,:d, leaving in their
hafte two large bags, and two glafs bottles, which
contained combullibles, a loaded pittol, and two lad-
ders. naive meafuree are taking by the blagillrates
to bring to condign punithment the offenders, and to
rroteet the perfons and properties of the clothiers, in
cafe of forther riotous proceeding; amnngft the work-
men, who liill continue, under the grnffett error, to
oppofe the ule of machinery in the woollen manufac-
tories.
A foreigner. named Built, on Wednefday charged
a refpeCtable locking man with having picked his
picket of his watch the preceding night when turn-
ing out of the Green Dragon Iran, Bifhopfgare-Greet.
On feeling it quitting his pocket, he charged the
prifoner with the fadt, who immediately returned it,
faa ;rig it had caught to his coat lleevc button. The
prifimer quietly accompanied the profecntor to the
Cornpter, was unknown to any of the officers, and
bore a good charafter. Mr. Alderman BOYDELL,
Who fat at the Manfion Houle, where the charge was
made, obletved, on feting the wirch and appen-
dages, that he was leis furprized at the circurnltance
happenintr now, than that it had not happened before;
ior the feats and chain were In large and open, and
the watches were now carried as if they were intended
for traps. He, therefore, confidered the prifoner's
flatement highly probable, particularly as it was
firen2thened by the goodnefs t f his charaEler, he
tierefore difmifled the complaint.
ALN:IND, infpeflor of lamps for the patith
of St. James's, :scented of forging the will of a man
who is living, and thereby felling out itt ck to the
amount of 3001. was on Thor fday fully committed for
trial, from Marlborongh.ilreet. Mr. Parome, the
Ice: ft n who was reprelented by the prifoner as being
toad, proved the-fitets of his being perfonally known
to the prifoner, and of his having 3001. in the Bank ;
mid the Pale of the tt,ck was proved by the flock
broker, who fold bir the prifoner.—A woman who
wa; taken up as an accomplice was difcharged.
was examined at the Manfion-houle
nn Thurfday, charged with robbing Mrs. Jones, the
tatitliadv of the houfe in which he lodged, of a watch,
and a sittinea and a half. The robbery was con)•
mittcd nine mouths fine. After all the family had
retired to yea, the prifoner got up in the night, and
tea away the meaty and watch. He had not been,
fast( fine; by any of the family, till lad Sunday,
when Mrs. j. law him as Ibe WAS going to church,
and, with the affiltance of her fervent, hewed him.
The prifoner denied the charge is tees; but fome
circumtlances tianfpirei, which left uo doubt on the
suind of the Magiarare of his guilt, and therefore
gave him his elicits, either to go on board the tender,
or be committed for trial.—the former of which was
chofen by the prifoner.
