CLE.RKENIVELL SESSIO.vS.

A y:”/.; Saihr was yetterday tried at the Chet k-
enwcll S. itions for an affault on his :rife. Jack
did not d.:ny the Gift; but, according to his mode
(lulling the dory, he had alfo caufc to complain.
Ile never could get her to keep in the fame tirdi
with him, and often caught her out at night,
ertss.l7 suarfalli tolotrr I Notwithtlanding this pro-
vocation, he confeffed he was Ilia fond of his
(rule; but having found her one day in a houfe
of had fame, he owned that his pall-ion overcame
him, and he heat her with a eat Lzik. The
Jury, whole t ifible faculties were provoked, *g-
raved kilts.
From what occurred on another trial, it appears
that a species of theft is praillifed, which, from its
novelty, deferves to be mentioned, order that
Cie public may guard Azaitift it. Le evidence
proved, that boys apparently militia; thenifelves
in the Ilreets in the welt end of the town, with
hand-balls, make them rebound from the pave-
ment in fuch a direaion as to fall down the areas
in the front of thehnufes. The youth then dinettes
much firrow for the 101 l of hi, ball, and the fer-
vants of the lionfe are often goolnatured enough
to allow him to fearch for it. He generally con-
trives to hare cccalinn to look for his ball in the
kitchen, and then picks up any portable article
that may be worth carrying off. The boys tried
.were &wiled in nealing table-cloths.

This evening arc find will be the lati of the
Pone,' Races at the Royal Circus, as on Monday

From the very extraordinary great Sale of
Tickets and Shares lioissnY and Co. have al-
ready met with in the Englilh Lottery, containing
only 2.1,000 Tickets, they carneilly intreat their
numerous friends and the public by no means to
delay purchafing, as there is the greatell probabi-
lity the whole of the Tickets will be difpofed of
brfore the Wheel goes round.—Hoassay and Co.
made the fame obfervation to their friends re-
fpeeing the Pigot Diamond Ticket (which they
fold), and it fo fell out, that on the morning of
drawing there was not a Ticket to be got at any

price.
A young rran of the name of Palmer, on Wed-
nefday night, was thrown out of one of the (wing-
ing machines, fixed on the Grand Parade, during
the fair, at Portlinouth, and was killed on the (pot
A few days fence, at Oakland, the feat of RI-
CHARD SPARROW, Efq. a young lad, unfortunately
led by his curiofity too near the iron water wheel
of a forcing pump, which was then at work, was
drawn in by one oldie cranks and inland,' cruthed
to pieces.
On Thurfday evening (aft, between the hours
of nine and ten o'clock, a terrible fire broke out
at Waddou, near Croydon, in the houfe of Mr.
Hume. It raged with fuch violence that no part
of the furniture or effeasolany kind could be fared.
The family, by not being in bed, were preferred,
except an infant child of four years old, a grand-
daughter of Mr. Hume, which, we are forry to
add, was fuffocated in bed by the fmoke, but it
was not injured by the fire. As un caufe for this
dreadful accident can be aftigned with certainty,
it is fuppofed to have been occalioned by a beam
communicating with the kitchen chimney, but this
is merely coujeanre. The houfe being old, the
fury of the fire was fuch, that had it taken place
an hour and a half later, every-foil in it mull have'
pointed.
Thurfilay fennight, about eleven o'clock at
night, a molt dreadful fire broke out in the diftria
of Arnemuiden, occalloned by the fpringing
of one of the (Loves and the powder houfe, at
the Powder Mill the Grenadier, (landing on
the haven dike at the fide of Newland. In con-
fequence of the high wind which then blew,* piece
of wood was thrown on one of the roofs of the (alt
manufalory, ftanding at Arnemuiden, which in-
nand)! caught fire,and was Coon in a general blaze;
during this, the flames extended, it being a high
wind and bow water ; by which means the engines
could not futficiently play. Seven of the leathern
pipes were totally continued, and two others only
nightly damaged., No lives were loft on this me-
lancholy occalion ; one woman, only, was greatly
hurt by the flames. The damage &lead is in
calculable.

Lail Saturday fe'nnight a very melancholy, bar-
barous, and unheard of cruelty happened at Cor.
Ira, near St. lie's. A woman, v. We name is
Brey, whilti her hutband was on his bufinefs at a
tin mine (where be is a Captain) and no one in
the room with her, took an infant child, of about
ten months old, out of the cradle wherein it was
fall asleep, tindreffed it, and laid it on a red hot
baking iron, was then on the fire, then
throwing a Iheave of reeds over the infant, set it
in a blaze ; but the child, through the torture, was
heard to cry vehemently, which immediately
brought in her filter in law and daughter, who
were. in another part of the houle, into the kitchen
w:iere th:s horrid barbarity was committed. They
found the child kill taken off the fire by this ur.-
mtaral moldier, burned in a molt (hocking man-
ner. A furgeon and the child's father were imme-
diately font fry, but t. J no purpofe—it languithed
a few hours, and then expired ii: great waits.—
wretched woman, it feems, Las been in a kind
of melancholy for !lime months paft ; and fame-
times fo owl...genus, that her hufband was obliged
to bind her for Tome days together ; but that. morn-
ing the teemed to talk fenfibly, and defiled him to
let her loge, which he contented to, in an un-
guarded hour. The Jury, after examining the
child, and its inhuman mother, gave a verdia—ln=
faiiity. The Mayor, who attended, ordered her
