•Thefe &Sloe commenced feSierday (ii 'Attu-
ante of an adjournment front the &Sons held lalt
week it Kinglion).
After the Grand jury had been Arent, they were
addreffed by the Chairman; sihn Paid, that on look•
ing over the Calendar he was Happy to cbferve that
it contained no cafe rematkable for atrocity, with the
exception of one. That was a profecattin againfl
John Cokele'. for an attempt to corismit a rape upon
Catharine Hirley. The evidence which would come
before the Grand Jury, in order to enable them to
find a bill, would require the molt fedulods deli•
beration they could hefluiv. At the fame time that
he apprized the Grand Jury of the enormity of the
:offence, which he underllood would be fully proved,
is was incumbent up-n him to inform them, that
they, and they only had to determine whether the
accufed perfun fhould be put on his vial or not ? The
Grand Jury was the Grand Inquell of the county,
but it had no right to contemplate a punifhrnent
upon any individual it might prefent to the cogni.
lance of the Petty Jury and the Conit ; all that the
Grand Jury bad to do, therefore, was limp!, and
plain. They had to determine whether or not, upon
a cafe being Rated to them, the evidence they had
heard was fufEcient authority ft.r them to find a true
bill of indiftment. Should any difficulty occur, the
Court was ready to give every affiliance, but he trot
ted there would be no occafion for its interference.
The Grand Jury immediately retired.
joha Faitaa, a farmer at Brixton Caufeway, who
had been conviSed at the 10 &Mow, of felting his
dogs at perfons palling over his premifes, was brought
up for judgment. On the former occallon he had
been fentenced to pay a Ile of 401. and to be impri-
foned till that fine theuld be paid. He had been con_
fined ever fence, and bad not cJmplied with the fen-
taste of the Conti

Mr. Sevjeant ONSL',W remarked nn the prifoner's
perverfe obtlinacy in tefufing t•' pay the fum inflic-
ted on him for his want .n and barbarous conduit ;
and now fentenced him to pay a fine of 401. and to
be imprif.ned till fuch fine ih„uld be paid ; and alto
to enter into his own recogrizance in tool. with two
fureties in Sol. each, fur his keeping the pease for
twelve calendar month. and to be further itnptifoned
until fuch fineties lhould be found.

Ann limier and Mary Peet were indided for an
atTault upon Mrs. E. Loveit on the 19th of January
laft. The cafe was opened by Mr. NOLAN, who de-
fcribed it as one of a moil abominable defcription,
•committed by the defendants, who were women of a
very equivocal defcription
Mrs. Loveit depofed, that her hurband was clerk
to a merchant, and that they dwelt in Artillery-
place, Higler's lane. On the tsph of January lel,
(he had been out in the morning, and, on her return
home, (he law Peet drawing water from a common
pipe in the Ilreet. She was palling along, when Peet
vented upon her a torrent of abufe, and (aid that if
the (Mrs. L ) came near her, the would " roll her in
the water !" Mrs. Loveit, a flout woman, was not
eel!), intimidated, and, deipifing the threat of the
Defendant, advanced to her, when the Defendant
hit her a (mart flap in the face, which was returned
by Mrs. Loveit with intereft. Holtilities having thus
commenced, the combat went on, until it was deci-
ed by the interference of Mrs. Rucker, who came in
aid of Mifs Peet, and fairly beat Mrs. Loveit out of
the field. The profecutrix, anxious to get away, took
(helter in the firft houfe the came to, which turned
odt to be the abode of Mrs. Rucker, who followed
her clofe up, and knocked her down in the kitchen
by a blow with a heavy inftrument on her forehead,
the mark of which NV!. L. (hewed to the Jury. She
added, that the had been fo ili in confequence, that
the was compelled to have recourle to the affiflance
of a furgeon, who attended her for three months.—
She alto fisted, that after the was knock:to:l down, the
was beaten by the one, and kicked by the other for
Come time, uhtil the was refcued by a lady named
Scott, who lived in that elegant vicinity ! On her crofs
examination by Mr. 'AWES, (he denied ever having
(poken to either of the Defendants before. Her mar-
riage
being fufpeded, the was a(ked where the had
erpoufed her hutband ? She replied, at Lambeth
Church.—" What fort of a man is he ?" afked the
Learned Couplet. ..41 A good enough fort of a man,
(replied the lady), only we have words now and
then, as moll married people have." She pofitively
(wore that the was not the eggreffor in the alrault,
adding, that the lodging of Mils Peet was a recepta-
cle fur females of a very indifferent defcription.
The affault was confirmed by feveral witneffes,
who faw the conflid.
It was attempted, on the part of the Defendants,
to retort the charge I,f atfault on die profecutrix, but
the Jury not giving credence to the fans alledged, or
endeavoured to be proved, found both the ladies
guilty, and the Court fenteuced them to be feverally
imprifoned for three mouths.

Yobit Ldn7, a labouring man, or fatmer's horfe-
keeper, for an afrault upon Mrs. Rippon, the wife of
Mr. Rippon, of Clapham, on the 15th of May laft.
The cafe, as afterwards fuftained in evidence, was
Dated by Mr. LAwits, as Counfel fir the profecution,
and is as follows :

Mr. Rippon, who is a pritteipal clerk in the houfe
of Mr. Abraharn Goldftnid, Tended at his father's
bottle at Clapham, and on the evening of the day
above mentioned, he was going in his one horfe
chaife, accompanied by his wife, to vitit his father in
law, at Putney, intending to return the lame evening;
and having arrived near Putney, he raw a number
of boys in his way, on the road, playing trap ball, and
the hat of one of them in the middle of the road.—
His horfe flarted, and went to the other fide ; and he
became rather alarmed : firtt, for his wife, who was
then far adiranced in her pregnancy, and in the rilk
of being overfet by the Harting of the bode ;—and
fecondly, for the buys thendelves, who were in Jan.
ger of being run over. He called out to, and cracked
his whip at them as he approached ; and, as he was,
palling, threatened that it he found them there on
his return he would b.trfewhip them. Upon his re-
tain again, between eight a,,d nine, he fa kr the buys
on the road again ; and one boy toting rather nearer
to him than the others, on the road fide, with his
coat off, at whom, luppoling him to he one of the
party, he cracked his whip, dellri4 g turn to art away
with his companions, and (lightly 'truck the boy
with the thong on the arm ; the boy cried rut, and

the Lady's example, fwooned, and was borne of in
a hate of infenlibility.

was, to thew that the ftrokes the had received from
the prifoner, were not intended for het.
But Mrs. R. could only lay the received 'bellows,
without being able to (wear for the prifoner's
lions. Afterwards, in his fpeech to evidence, Mr.
Nowlan argued that the attack on Mr. Rippon was
fully jullificd, on the prifoaer's part, by the (iroke he
had previoufly given to his child with a horfe whip,
which, he (aid, feemed alto to be the convlaion of
the Grand Jury ; but that as the blows, unfortunately
received by Mrs. Rippon could not have been meant
for her, and had only touched her accidentally, in
the .operation of chilling her huffiand, he ought
not therefore to be convifted, as the aft was untn-
tentional.

Mr. Serjeant Onstovr, however. was of n quite
different opinion, and furntned up for the Jury, who
retired at five oelock, and after long deliberation,
found a verdid of—Guilty.

Mits. Joattan.-Early on Sunday morning, after a
little coughing, a confiderable quantity of dear blood
came up from this lady's chea. and it was evident
that fhe had broken a blood-rad. Dr. Bbawa im-
mediately attended, and, by his order, twelve ounces
of blood were taken from her arm by the lancet, and
eight by cupping. This has relieVed the pain in her
cheft, but reduced her very low ; and fhe is prohis
bited from taking any nourifhment but cold water.
As BRAHAM and Svoaacc were felting out from
Broadltairs, on Saturday evening, on their return to
Margate, they were thrown out of their gig by the
falling of the horfe. BRAHAM demised unhurt, bit
Svoaaca unfortunately had her arm broken.

A vein of coal, of fine quality equal to that of

entertained that it will ultimately turn but of great
magnitude and importance.
Several wagers have been lately made, that a Prize

on what lira principle of reafoning tittle bets are
laid, as fo ontnenfe a Prize, at the head of numerous
