belied repeatedly made the samein
the hope that all thoughts of pardon, commutation, or
any other way of escaping with life, would be banished.
"It is true," said Mr. Fauntleroy; " you told me that •
the Bank had a duty to perform, and that it would be
a compromise of that duty to let me escape. I believe
that to be the case, and I thinithe Bank would have
acted right in pursuing my life as far as the lAw could
go, had I been acquitted on the first indikiment." MT.
Cotton then a,ked him whether he intended to interdict
the visits of his friends before Sunday ? The Ordinary
thought it would be most prudent to do so. Mr. F.tunt-
leroy...-" I hope to be able to devote myself to pi ayer
after Friday night. I think I shall bid adieu, before
Friday night, to all my friends, who have, GOD knows,
been kind in the extreme. Oh, it is a great consolation
to me that they have remembered me in the days of thy.
affliction; but, above all, I feel Comfort in the pi o.:
so solemnly made by my friend, for the prcervation of
my children.'

COURT OF KIAG'S BENCH-THIS D.Y.

THE KING V. SAMUEL RUTTER.

Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL ()rayed the judgment of the
Court upon this defendant, who was c.nvicted at the
late Guildford Assizes, for a gross assault upon certain
persons, Excise Officers.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE read the notes of the trial,
from which it appeared, that the defendant had been
subject to a penalty of £5.4 for evading the Excise Laws,
which penalty, however;the Commissioners mitigated
to £lO. Application was consequently made for the
latter snm, when the defendant paid £5, and appointed
a time to pay the balance. The Officers accordingly
went to the defendant on the day specified, when a great
crowd was assembled, and the popular cry of common
Informers raised, by which the Officers were grossly
assailed by the populace.
An affidavit was put in on behalf of the defendant,
which stated that he was an industrious quiet man be-
fore this occurrence ; a long imprisonment would be his
ruin, and that he was unable to pay mote than 201.
Mr. ADOLIMUS also spoke in mitigation.
The ATTORNEY•GENERAL said, he should leave the
case in the hands of the Court, for them to award such
punishment as the offence deserved.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY then sentenced the defendant to
pay a fine of £2O, be imprisoned three months in Horse.
monger-lane jail, and enter into sureties for three years,
himself in £BO, and two of £4o each.
