MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Saturday, John Grits:ten and Peter Sampson, two
seamen, the former a. black, were indicted for felo-
niously stealing a hatch, or halt-door, from the pre-
mises of Lewis Francisco, on Sunday the 15th of Oc-
tober, the goods and chattels of the said Francisco.—
The prosecutor, it appeared, kept a lodging-house
for Portuguese seamen, in the neighbourhood of
Wapping ; and, on the day laid in the indictment,
his house was riotously beset by a great number of
American sailors, who broke his windows, destroyed
his doors, and, in short, made a complete wreck of
his dwelling. The two prisoners were identified as
having been busily employed in the work of demoli-
tion ; and, it was proved, had-carried away the article
laid in the indictment, as the spoil of their victory.
Mr. Cosawr, who presided, inquired of one of the
witnesses, whether the door.which had been stolen,
was hung in such a manner as to be taken off at plea-
sure, or whether the hinges were firmly screwed to the
frame ? He was answered, that it was not moveable.
Mr. CONANT then informed the Jury, that the in-
dictment was improperly laid—they must therefore
acquit the prisoners. The prisoner* were charged.
with having stolen the goods and chattels of the pro-,
secutor, which was not thefact ; as that which is not,
moveable, cannot be considei a chattel. In the
present instance, the prisoners had taken away :t part
of the freehold itself, as much so Is the bricks and
mortar. Had the hatch been moveable, it would have
' come under die denomination used in the indictment,
but the law did not recognize thefts similar to the
present, as a taking of goods and chattels.
The prisoners were, of course, acquitted.
They were then tried for the- misdemeanour, in
assembling, wit divers other persons, creating a
riot and, disturbance, and breaking the doors and
windows of Francisco's house. Their persons were
positively sworn to by two witnesses, one of whom
saw Sampson breaking Francisco's door, and also
saw Grimstone heaving a stone about 121 b. weight,
et the lower window. The Jury, however acquitted
them.

Mowers Hamet was convicted of an assault, with an
intent to commit an unnatural crime, on Charles Pen-
drell. The evidence was of the most disgusting na-
ture ; and although the facts were substantiated to the
full satisfaction of the Court and Jury, the prisoncr
had the temerity to make a long defence, in which he
endeavoured to affix the whole infamy on the prose-
cutor, a) oung and innocent country lad. The Court
sentenced him to three years imprisonment in New-
gate.

Robert Morris, who had been capitally indicted a
few days ago at the Old Bailey, for cutting and maim-
ing, with intention to kill and murder -- Williamsi
a publican at Uxbridge, was convicted of a misde-
meanour in assaulting him. The defendant, it ap-
peared, was a Welsh drover, and returning through
Uxbridge to his own country, with his comrade, they
had drank together at the Crown Inn until 9 o'clock ;
they were then turned out, and proceeded to Wil-
liams's, aiid insisted on admittance. Williams corn-
ing up at the moment, at first remonstrated, but find-
ing that ineffectual, he knocked the prisoner down,
who, on recovering himself, dresm. out a large pen-
knife and stabbed him in the belly ; he has never since
recovered.from the effects f the wound, which pre-
ventid him from attending in person to prosecute.—
When taken into custody and charged with theoffence,
the prisoner expressed the utmost contrition.
Mr. COMA NT, in charging the Jury, stated, that
though Mr. Williams struck the first blow, it did not,
in the eye of the law, justify the using a sharp instru-
ment.—The Court sentenced him to three months
imprisonment in the House of Correction.
Thomas Halsay and Wm. Martin were convicted of
a riot in Bond-street, on the night of the 25th Octo-
ber (Jubilee), aiding and abetting a large mob to
throw stones, break windows, &c.
,Mr.Baltv, a respectable linen-draper in Bond-street,
had observed the prisoners very busy amongst the
mob, about seven o'clock in the evening ; he follon ed
the crow. d down St James's-street, when some of them
gave the alarm by crying out " A slty, a spy, mill him,
mill him," and he was obliged to make hie escape. The
first volley of stones which he saw thrown was at a tal-
low-chandler's windows, which were illtuninated. Be.
tween 10 and 11 o'clock he pointed out the two pri.
soners to the Bow.street patrole, who took them into
custody. When Martin was taken, he dropped two
stones la hich he was on the point of throwing. They
were sentenced to six months imprisonment in the.
House of Correction, and at the expiration of that
time to give security for their good behaviour for six
months longer; themselves in £2O, and two sureties
in £lO each. •

Yesterday John Marshall, Robins, and
Brown were indicted for assaulting James Doure.
It appeared that the prosecutor, a'seafaring man,
had been put on board a vessel named the Ocean,
which was lying at Limehouse, to take care of her,
by the proprietors of the vessel. The prosecutor was
put on board on the 9E11'4 September, and remained
there till the 17th, on which day the defendant Mar-
shall, and the two. other defendants, came on hoard
the vessel, whilst the prosecutor was sitting on the
fore-boom ; and Marshall corning on one side, and
Robins on the otherrseizeditirn by the shoulders, and
told him he must quit the ship. 'Co this the.prosecu-
tor objected ; and said be should be glad to know
who would send him out of the ship. Upon which
Marshall and Robins forced hiin to the gangway, and
Brown said, if he did not get over, he would shew
him out of the ship d—d quick. The prosecutor,
.boviever; not feeling any inclination to be handed out
in the expeditious manner to which the defendant
seemed to allude, get over the side and quitted the
ship. -This was the assault complained oh It np.
neared, however, that some dispute had . arisen lc-
specti4the owuthrship of the vessel, wh:elt is at pie-

sent pending the Admitnitnciagni, and indict.'
menu had Zfb beeneierrad against the presect
secular for sOnnkappsid trotpan,"Jasompliance with
a suggestion bons the I)epcb...ihst parties agreed to
take an acquittal on both s'des.
PERJUiIr.
Francis Brathevait was put to the bar on a charge
of perjury. . - -
It appeared that the prisoner had sworn to a cir-
cumstance grounded in falsehood, as it was asserted
in an affidavit exhibited in the Court of King's Bench
on the 30th of June, 1808, for the porpose of rib: lin-
ing a Rule of Court, calling on one Pember to deliver
up certa'n deeds which Francis Brathw:tit swore that
he had left in the possession of said Pember, at the de-
sire and request of Jahn Kay.
.Mr. POOLEY observed to the Jury, that that state-
ment was untrue ; that Kay never so advised Brath-
wait as the fatter had sworn, nor had any deeds been
received by Pember front the person at the bar.
William Martin, Clerk of the Rules, produced an
office-copy of the Rule, for the production of the deeds,
and Brathwait's affidavit, On which rule was granted.
Charles Boyd, Clerk to the Master in the Court of
King's Bench, proved that the signature to the affi-
davit was the hand-writing of Master Foster, which
signified that he had sworn Brathwait.
Mr. Pember swore that the signature at tbe bottom
of the affidavit was the hand-writing of Brathwait, as
did Mr. Carl.

The affidavit, which was a very long one, was then
read, when.

MI. KNAPP took an objection to the indictment,
contending that a sufficient quantity the affidavit
was not contained in it ;, that a few lines had been ex-
tracted, after which the prosecutor bad thought it
sufficient to aver the fact.

Mr. POOLEY, on the contrary, contended, that to
have extracted more of the affidavit would have been
justly termed by the Court impertinent and super-
fluous ; and he held, that it was necessary to aver that
such was not done with the deed as the affidavit stated.
Mr. KNAPP further contended, in support of his
objection, that the averement in the indictment was
not sufficient ; for when alluding to " deeds," men-
tioned in that part of the affidavit extracted, the in.
dictrnent said, and only said, 4. the said-deeds."
Mr. POOLEY replied, that the deeds alluded to were
thoie as averred in the Rule in these words, to spew
cause why the said Richard Pember should not de-
liver up to the said Francis Brathwait, the title deed:
alledged to have been left with the said Richard Pember,
by the said Francis Brathwait."

One of the Bench observed, that the indictment
said, first, " certain deeds," then ever afterwards al-
hided to " the said deeds ;" and thought they ought
to have been specifically named ; but after it had
been contended that the same deeds were meant, aF
Brathwait termed " title deeds" in his affidavit, the
prosecution was allowed to go on.
Richard Pember swore, that he never received any
deeds from Brathwait, that had b•.•ea handed over to
him by John Kay ; and Mr. Kay swore, that he had
never so advised Brathwait as the latter had sworn in
his affidavit ; but from the manner in which those
two witnesses, particularly the former, gave their evi-
dence, the Court seemed to be of opinion, that the
fact of perjury was not brought so clearly home to the
pt ironer as the Jury had a right to doksire.
The Jury immediately returned a verdict of—Not
Guilty.

For the last six or seven weeks, there has ben a.
tolerable trade on the Crinan Canal. It it chiefly
vessels going to, and coming from theherring fishing,
which, in the North Highlands, has been uncommonly
good this year, and still continues. For some weeks,
the fisning in Lochfine has been pretty good, and still
they are getting some fine herrings, much better than
those first caught. One small boat, belonging to two
men, drew the other night, £46, for one night's fish-
ing, and some others in the neighbourhood have had
very good success.

Sunday morning a battle took place in the fieldh
near Child's-hill, Hampstead, between a smith, named
Jannet, and a sadler ; it originated in a wager. The
smith being the loser, and refusing to pay the wager,
the sadler challenged him to fight, when they met
accordingly. A crowd assembled and they set to ;
when, atter a quarter of an hour's hard fighting, it
terminated in favour of the sadler.

Wednesday a woman of the town, at Sheerness, cut
a man of colour in the belly with a case knife in such
a dreadful manner, that his bowels fell through the
wound—the poor fellow still lives, but no hopes are
entertained of his recovery. The woman is commit-
ted to Maidstone gaol for trial.
Conoxan's INQUEST.—Satureay forenoon an In-
quisition was held by the Coroner of Westminster, at
Tattersal's Riding House, on the body of Mr. Slid.
linbrooke, of Mark-lane, in the City. It _came out
that he had, on Friday morni;T, been on horseback
in the Riding House there, and was quietly on, when
in an ins: ant he fell down and expired without a groan.
Verdict—Died by the vi itation of GOD.
