SINGULAR CAIR.•At Shrewfbnry Affixes J
Notts, alias Hayward, was inditied for Dealing
two fheep. To this indidment Nutts flood mute
and did not plead. A Jury was accordingly im-
pannelled, to enquire whether he flood mute by the
at and providence of GOD or obftinately and
out of malice ? Mr. Cartwright, the keeper of the
gaol, depofed, that the prifoner came into his cuf-
tody in the month of January lag; that he then
enjoyed his perfect faculties, but concluded him-
I'd( very infolently; that bout a fortnight ago
the prifoner fent to Mr. Evans, the profecutor, and
offered, on condition that favour fhould be fhewn
to him, to difclofe his accomplices in this and other
robberies—which was rejeded by Mr. Evans.
From that day the prifoner became perfedly filent
with an appearance of total infenfibility and ideo-
tiftn ; he came regularly every day at the found of
die bell to receive his allowance of bread with the
other felons, but would never fpeak; or give any
other proof of reafon. Upon all thefc circum-
Dances, Mr. Cartwright verily believed that his be-
haviour proceeded from obftinacy and malice. Mr.
Thomas, the apothecary who attends the gaol, was
then examined. He was of opinion that the dread
of approaching punifhment had deprived the pri-
loner of his fenfes, and reduced him to that fitua.
lion in which he then appeared before the Court.
"His Lordfliip here very humanely flopped any fur-
! ther evidence, direding the Jury, after what die
Surgeon had Dated, to find the prifoner mute by
die at: of Goer which they accordingly did. He
was then remanded to the gaol till the next affixes.
