COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE t 6.

TN& ZING O. DANIEL SETOM, JUN. ISO
The Defendant is the fon of the Governor of Surat.
He had been found guilty on a criminal information
preferred at the inflance of William Wickham, Efq.
whom, in the words of the proceedings, he had at
tempted to provoke, and to excite to fight a duel.
In one of the counts, the expreffions charged were—
" If you do not give me the fatisfatlion of a gentle-
men, you ale the greateit blackguard that ever liv-
-011" The caufe of the refentment of the gentleman,
was Tome advice to Mr: and Mrs. Flint, a young
married couple, who 'elided with Mr. Wickham,
during his official fituation in Ireland, and to whom
he fultained the charaiter of guardian. Mrs. Flint
is filler to the Defendant,
Lord EsLessolotic itfread the minutes of the trial,
in which reversal threatehing letters to Mr. Wickham
were given in evidence, and the converfation of Ma-
jor Morgan (the bearer of the challenge) was detailed.
Mr. Giles, for the Defendant, Paid, he fhould be
highly reprehenfible if he attempted to vindicate the
conduit of his client; and was proceeding td Rate the
circumftances in mitigation, when Mr. Seton, from
the ground floor, cleared to read, in open Court, his
own affidavit on this fubjeft. It contained an ac-
knowledgment of his rnifconduit, expreffions of deep
contrition, and a confeffion, that the part Mr. Wick-
ham had ailed, was not only honourable to his own
chevalier, but originated in the moft friendly mo.
titres towards the Defendant. It further Rated, that
his leave of ahfence from the India Company expired
in-Auguft, and that the opportunity of returning was
of the greaten confequence to his future fuccefs in life.
Lord ELLsesoaotica.—" It revs with you to fay
(addreffing himfell to the Counfel for the profecu-
non) if you will pray Judgment upon the Defendant.
On fuch a ferious offence, if judgment be prayed,
the Court has but one courfe to purfue."
Mr. Eagan's-for the Profecution, after a fhort
panfe---" I waited to coffee a little informality in
the affidavit, before I addreffed your Lordfhips, who
have been now witneffes of the honour ind forbear.
'ance of Mr. Wickham. I am inftruited by that
Gentleman to fay, that he has the greatelt refpea
for the family of the Defendant ; and he wiffies, not-
withftanding what has palled, to -condio.... to the
happinefs and profperity of this unfortunate perfoo.
It appears by the affidavit; that abfence from India
would be a material injury to the Defendant ; Mr.
Wickham willies his return may not be obflruited ;
I thall, therefore, not pray the jadgment of the Court
at this time."
Lord E LLLLL It will be in the power
of the Profecutor to call the Defendant up for judg•
ment on any future occafion. I hope the impreffion
made on this young man's mind will be agreeable to
the friendly wifhes of Mr. Wickham. The Defen-
dant may retire."

CRIMPING.—Saturday information was given at
the Manfion Hook, of a man who keeps a houfe in
Leadenhall-areet, into which he had been in the
bit of decoying loldiers from his Majefty's ler, ice, in
order to fend them to the EaR Indies. Upon the
houfe being fearched, parts of the regimental dreffies,
like tilde worn by fohliers of the guards. were found
there, fuppofed to have belonged to men who were
miffing. The man was committed to the Poultry
Compter, and no bail accepted until an examination
takes place, at which it is expeded that the Secretary
at war will be prefent.
COMIONATION or BOOT.Maatßs.—An interefting
examination took place on Saturday at the Public
Office, in Marlborough-ftreet. Of one thoufand boot-
makers, who have been tome time in a comoination
againft the boot clofers, twelve were brought up as
ringleaders and delegates. Mr. GURNLV, for the
profeeution, dwelt on the dangerous tendency of fuch
illegal proceedings ; and called w itneffes againft two
of the Defendants, Plummer and Harrifon, who were
firft examined. Mr. Wimpory, of Coventry•Rreet,
Rated, that on the t 7th of May, two of his workmen,
Tyrer and Bowker, delivered to him a lift of clofers
in the flop, whom they confidered as illegal men,
and as filch ought to be difcharged. He rejcded the
lift, and the whole of his men, to the amount of fif-
teen, ftruck from their work, which had never been
fini(hed. He had conceived the two Defendants to
be very aftive in the conibination. Plummer was a
Clerk to the Committee. Other witneffes proved the
fad, and that letters from each fhop meetings were
interchanged to bind them to their undertaking.—
The Magiitrates conceived that if men could remain
ten or twelve weeks without employment, their pio-
fits mull be exorbitant at other times.

The prelent inllince pretty clearly proved that the
men were their mailers' maflet s, which, it given
way tr., would be attended with the greatal injuries
to matter and ..an, and while the Al lisle was as much
worn as at prelent, the price would be fo great, that
a wide field would open for a foreign market, and
dethoy what they might otherwife enjoy. He con
eeived the combination to come under the meaning
of the Acts of the 39th and aoth of his preterit Ma•
jelly, and fentcnced the Defendants to two months
hard labour in the House rit Cotreetion. O'Brien
and -- Hammond wire charged in Re mann:r
for exciting a combinati •rt in tot shop of Mr. M.N it
ti n, Der ke!er ((rare. O'Btizn to cited the like fen
tense, and Hammond was o[le ed tor oue month•

Footrant.—On Saturday fe'nnight, about ten
o'clock, as Mr. Branton, of the Bath Theatre, and
Mr. Elderthaw, were coming from Brißol to a re-
turn poll chaife, about a mile this fide of Keynfham,
they were flopped by two footpads ; one feized the
horfes' heads; whillt the other opened the chaife-
door, and pretesting a pillol at Mr. Klderflaw, (aid,
" Your money, Sir ?" Mr. E. who had.fortunatelv
a fowling piece with him, loaded with large (hot, and
with which lie had been killing rooks, replied, " I
am ready for you." The villain feting the gun, in-
(Lindy fired his pißol into the chalk, but it did no
injury. The fire was at quickly returned by Me.
Elderthaw, and as the pine was dole to the. font,
pad, it is luppoled that he mull have received the
contents in his body. Mr. Branton then jumped rut
of the chaife, and taking the gun from the 'Abet.
Gentleman, made towards the fellow who had beeh
holding the horfes, but who was then following fait
his fuppofed wounded companion ; and at the dil
ranee of about fifteen yards he unexpeftedly turnect
round and levelled his pittol at Mr. B. but happily'.
without effect, the ball (biking the pannel of thh
chaife which had been drawn acrofs the road. Thej
were loon ouf of fight ; and we regret the Gentle,
men had not the means of purfning them, otherwife
they might have been an eafy conqueft.
The fellow, who it is prefumed is wounded, is near
fix feet high, very Rout, dark complexion, with a (oft
toned voice ; his companion was of middle (Lowes
rather thin, both dreffed in dark brown riding frocks,
coming very forward in front.
We fome months ago called the attention of our
numerous readers to a remedy dit'covered by a Cler-
gyman for the dreadful diforders proceeding from
the Bits, which, at this feafon of the year, (hews
itfelf in many alarming thapes. We now learn with
pleafure the amazing fuccefs that remedy has met
with; the. fele& and honourable colleaion of diftin-
guidted references (and which are daily enctesfing,
as may be teen by the advertifements) of the merits
of the Rev.Wss. Baactav's Patent Antibilicus Pills,
is equalled by no other patent medicine, and molt
convince a dile-ruing public of their fuperior virtues:

Honoured Sir, Edinburgh, March 18, aloe.
I BEG leave to inform you, that ever fince the your

from its obßinately refißing every courfe of medeeine preferibed
by the moll eminent of the faculty here, and undergoing (tweed
revere comics of falivation, and twice difelarged from the Hofpia
tal, with little relief, would appear to be of the molt inveterate
nature. In the liming of lag year my diforder had got to Inch a
head, as nearly to put a period to my exiftence: 1 had a large ulcer
on the crown of my head, one en each arm, and my legs were
broke out in a frightful manner; my right was dreadfully pain..
Jul. and had hem in a Rate of ulceration fur the left (even years ;
my left had alto two large nodes on it, was very mulch dirt:Wowed
and gave me faLh excruciating pain, particularly when warm in
bed, as ilea* to deprive me of reit. In this lantentahle (tate I
was recommended by Mr. J.Thompon, (who rectivml fo great a
tyre by them here), to take your Leake'. Patent Pills, which I
began to do on the 26th of May ; n the court of a onnight I be.
gan to receive benefit—in little more than a month the Weenies
my head and arms were fondly healed—fops after the forts on
my legs healed alfo, leaviog however, confldcrable difeolouration

ling of Goo, and a little. longer perfeverance In y sur invaluable
Medicine, fillided; the nodes difperfing, the kin regaining its

became, by your liberal advice and niedicine.perfedly free from
