MIDDLESEX SiSSIO A S.

Saturday, three men, one a cordwainer, the other ,
a brufla-maker, and the third a tailor, feverally ap-
plied to the Court, in order that the oaths might be
adminiflered to them to qualify them to preach the
Gufpel. Mr.Roaiasoa, the Chairman, afked whether
any of them had received the necelary educaticn at
either of the Univerfities of Oxford or Cambridge, or
at any public fchool; or whether Attey -were deeply
read in Thelogy ? They replied igl the negative to
thefe interrogations. The Chairtnan obferved, they
mutt neceffarily entertain very wild and extravagant
ideas in regard to religion, and he wiled to learn
the inducements they had to commence preaching.
They replied, they had no objets of lucre or gain to
view, but were aftuated by a firong and vehement
inclination to promulgatesthe Gofpel of GOD, for the '
purpofe of contributing, as far as in them lay, to tlit
falvation of fouls : they added, they intended to ex-
eicife their holy funetions entirely within the county
of Middlefex. The Chairman granted their applica-
tions, aid they withdrew to the office of the Clerk
of the Peace. We learn that fimilar applications have
of late been frequent.
MidhvsJ was indilled for an affault on a girl,
thirteen years of age, with intent to commit a rape.
The Defendant is a hair-dreffer, who retided in the
neighbourhood of Spitalfields, and the Profecuti ix is
the daughter of a refpeetable tradefman in that neigh-
bourhoad. On the 7th of November, according to
the flatement of the girl, the went to the fhop of the
Defendant, to have her hair cut, when he took her
into a back parlour, and made the affault complain.
ed offi—He was alarmed by his fervant maid coming
down !lairs, and alfo by an old Lady coming into
the (hop, with a..child to have its hair cut. The
Ptofecutrix communicated what had happened to her
father's fervant when (helot home. The girl under-
went a crofs examination by Mr. ALLEY, from which
it appeared, that, after the affault, fhe remained in the
(hop without difclofing to the old Lady what had
taken place.—She accounted for this by Slating that
the Defendant prevented her from running our, and
the old Lady was a Stranger. It had afterwards
turned out, that the Profccutrix had tent a letter to
the Defendant, of a very improper defcription, con
raining two lines of poetry, which were not Suffered
to be read or (hewn to the Jury.
Mr. GURNEY here gave up the cafe for the profe-
cution, and the Defendant condu6ed himfelf with
great levity during the evidence.
The CHAIRMAN obferved that the child had been
very imprudent ; but the Defendant notwithitanding
that fad, Should not be foffered to leave the Court
with an air of triumph. He was the molt abandoned
profligate he had ever feen ; and a married man, who
ought to have known better. The wickednefs of
which he had been the prepetrator was pecaliitly
abominable, and he was altogether a monad. *rule
mutt enormous depravity.—Not Guilty.

Sows or THE CLERGY.—On Saturday lalL, a ♦ery

Highnefs the Prince of Watss,) had been Members
nt this Society, and had endeavoured to contribute
their share to this laudable Inftitutinn. The muni-
ficence of his Royal Highnefs the Prince of WALES,

obfervation from him ; he, therefore, fhortly con-
cluded, by moving—" That an humble Petition be

Refolutions, which were unanimaufly agreed to, and
loon after the Meeting broke up.

RENOVATED HEALTH.
T has been too frequently. the fubjea of jnft and
general reprobation, that men deftitnte of the elements of
the medical art, have offered themfelves a. candidates for public
patronage in the profeffion of phyfic. For the porpoie of doing
juftice to the refult of our audits and experience, and Mintiest
us from being claffed among thofe empirics whop impudently's-
tenfions have, unfortunately for fociety, been too fkveerably re-
ceived, we beg leave to fuhinit to the liberal and enfiglttenal a
faithful ftatement of our purfults and acquirements. Aftqr having
received a regular medical education as the pupils of Meftt Ude-
dal and &dud, whole k6tures and pradice we carefully enco-
ded, as profeffors and furgeons of the London Hofpital, we entered
ourfelves as ftudents in that juftly celebrated fehool for medical
acquirement. the Royal College of Edinburgh, and were infirm-
ted in the different brandies of Anatomy, Surgery, the theory and
pradlice of Phyfic, Chemlltry, Midwifery. Botany, &c. &e. by
thofe eminent profeffors, Drs. Monro, Gregory, Black, Hamikon,
Duncan and Rutherford. We truft we (ball not be deemed pre.
fumptuous in hying that oar proficiency and acquirements are woe

complaints, and the various difeafes of DEBILITY, the partieWar
objedt of our ftudirs and pradice, it will, we hope, be allowed
that we have acquired fuperior knowledge of their treatment

eftibliihment is completed in the (holt period of two days; and,
in thole of the utmoft inveteracy, where other pradidoners have
