INSTMPAITER SESSIONS.

On Settirday a curious eaufe came forward before
the htagiltrates. HIMILY Pisa: Pre, Efq. the Poet
Laureat, in the Otitir.
A Mr. Tall Yeau(nnt theprstegi of Squire efilworthy,
nor the pupil of Philefother Square), was charged be-
fore the Magiftrates, with & certain aa of immorality
totally inconfiftent with " The Fitnefi of ?binge,' by
a difconfolate damfel (not M.lly Seagrise), but a Mifs
Dolly Pettyfore, as the father of her ballard child.—
The nymph underwent a long examination in direft
evidence, by the Counfel, Mr. CONST, and was very
minutely and feelingly crofs.examined by a junior
Swifter, the Advocate of Mr. Jones. From the
tenor of Mifs Pettyfore's teftimony, it appeared, the
was a (avant in one of the Cyprian Temples, in King •
ftreet, Sobo; and that Tom Jones was at the fame time
waiter at a porter-boufe in the neighbourhood, from
whence the votaries of the fail temple were occafion-
ally fupplied with porter, ght; and other cordials ;
and that Mr. Jones was the ufual attendant with fetch
liquors. The night of the firft general illumination
for the laft Treaty of Peace, was the firft time the
parties faw each other., A treaty was then entered
into, which was not for fome time definitively fettled,
owing to (come delay • in the adjuftment of prelimina-
ries. The refult, however. was a treaty of alliance—
the aim of which was a fpaniting boy. Mr. Jones,
.in the mean time, found it necelfary to ruflicate, in
order to avoid the prying officionfnefs of the parith
officers ; and when he conceived the danger all blown
over, he returned to town, and fet up a public-houfe
of his own. Either the parilb officers or Mill Petty-
fore got (cent of his arrival and fettlement, and, not
fatisfied with the (mains pledge of mutual love, the
lady cerise forward, and foiled all the interrogative
fubtlety of the learned young Counfel, by (wearing
1 point blank the bantling to Tones ; and what was ra-
ther an extraordinary inftance, fidelity to her firft
love; that the had never, before or fince, any cohabita-
tion with any man but Turn Jones, though the before,
and even fine, remained a fervant in the fame houfe.
The Jnftices awarded againft Mr. Jones the whole
expences of the lady's atom-hound, and 4s. 6J. per
week for the charges of maintaining the child, now
two years old, together with the coils of (nit.
A petition was relented from the wife of Jones,
praying the knity of the Court towards the pre-con-
nubial frailty of her huiband, but to no effeft ; and
Mifs Pettyfore retired in triumph under the rotation
of the venetable Abbefi, her miftiefs.

The body of as infant, which appeared to have
been drowned fame weeks, was found loft Thurfday
in a pond, in that ground which was formerly the
Apollo Gardens, in St. Georsse's-fields.
Two young men, named Rymer and Davis, were
on MondAy lift committed to Lincoln Cale, for
robbing Mr. R. Newton, on the preceding Sunday
afternoon, of a five guinea note, half a guinea, and
fome filver, on the- road between Lincoln and Slea-

ford.
On Friday evening a poor fool& failor, who had
arrived in the laR fleet from the Eaft Indies, fiffered
himfelf to be enticed into an infamous houfe near
Drury lane by a parcel of prollitutes, whom he treat-
ed with a (upper. In the mean time he got drunk,
vent to bed with one of the women, and when he
awoke in the morning he found himfelf alone, and
robbed of all the money he had about him, being 181.
When he got up he went about the adjacent keets
fetilanes, raving and (wearing like a madman, in
fetich of the thief, but could not find her.
