SUFFOLK ASSIZES•

At these Assizes nine of the Brandon rioters were
allowed to withdraw their former plea, and to plead
guilty, throwing themselves upon the mercy of the
Court a and Mr. Serjeant litossirrr, for the prosecu-
tion, consented, that they should be discharged upon
their own recognizance*, to appear whenever called
upon. Baron GRAHAM said, it gave him great satis-
faction to see a number of young persons, after having
been guilty of such an outrage, brought to a due and
just sense of their wicked.conduct. He was happy
to see such symptoms of penitence, and be hoped the
feelings which the defendants had discovered would
become general among the deluded people who bad
sought to redress their grievances by disturbing the
public peace and rising up against the Government.
Wing the sitting of the Bath Forum
Magistrates, on Thursday last, at the Guildhall, a
clad (14 years old) came there, attended by a rela-
tion,.who stated, that he was apprentice to John
Guy, a smith, of Wakot. ,The poor boy-,had a
waggon chain Lwisted round his leg, and fastened by 1
two heavy padlocks. The immediate cause of this
punishment, in addition to a most sciere• beating,
was, his not coming home from the ,ant's on the ,1
preceding Sunday night in time. fie detailed to the
Magistrates a series of most cruel treatment; and,
when stripped, exhibited a sight too shocking to be-
hold—a leopard's skin could not have been more va-
riegated. Gray was immediately apprehended, and
brought to the Hall, and, after being severely repri-
manded, the buy's indenture was-cancelled, and a
warrant made out to commit the unfeeling master to
llridewell for trial; but bail being obtained, he was
liberated, and the boy's mother bound to prosecute at
the next Wells Sessions.
