ire r
dog. and that she had taken up a hare before

ch she had beaten cost 23 guineas, and that its,
•or,er, when t'oe coursing was over, expressed a

im was offerer, as he was unwilling to part with

ad that judging from the general value of a dog of

guineas. The person who received the grey-

the bitch had been brought to him with a cord

ItHYATT' Counsel for the defendant, ad-

be supposed, he said, that the Gentlensass
riven the plaintiff the greyhound bitch,
inclined to under-rate the value of his

to valuation mentioned by him—why, for-
once tried her against a Lincolnshire dog,
she took the hare first. But the Gentlemen
ry might, perhaps, at least some of them,
)m their own experience, that the dog of
often, when coursing, out-runs the hare,
tat means turns her back upon another very
se, which had been lagging behind. On
it of this kind, perhaps, the bitch in ques-
it have handled, her game before the Lin-
dog, but much could not Le adduced from
proof of her value.
consulting for about a quarter of an hour,
returned a verdict of 12 guineaulasuages,
costs for the plaintiff. •
THE KING V. DANIEL CLOIIOII.
was an indictment against the defendant for
if his duty, as Overseer of thecearish of St.
-bow, in not paying a proper of at-
to a young woman of the name or Elizabeth
who, four years previously had obtained a
tent in that parish, by a two years servitude
Cooper, a farmer there.
,AEHYATT stated the case for the prosecution,
said, under all the circumstances, was one
t inhumanity. The particulars were fully
the evidence.
ibeth Clack, the young woman in question,
`sat on the 24th of September she went to
ish of St. Mary.le-bow, which was her parish ;
tingle woman ; she was in the pains of la-
id went to the mistress of the workhouse, who
. her to Clough, the overseer. Witness staid
door of Mr. Paxton, a butcher, who was also
istable, not being able to proceed further.—
came to her, and asked her why she came
witness said it was her parish, having lived
-s in service; Clough asked her where she
night before ? witness said in the Borough.
asked her why she did not fall troublesome
parish ? witness replied that she was not ill
e left the Borough. Clough asked her why
not return to the Borough ? witness said she
able ; Clough said it was deception ; witness
him to send for a surgeon, to satisfy him.—
said she must go back to the parish where
le from, as he would have nothing to do with
was about ten o'clock in the morning. Wit-
t, if defendant did not choose to believe her,
t go to a doctor herself ; witness then tried to'
r. Fairhead's, a surgeon, a few doors off ;
.I,ed Clough twice to send fir a doctor, but
cd both times. Mr. Fairhead did not examine
saying, he was not the parish doctor, but
her to go to Surgeon Wallis, who lived over
, and was the parish surgeon. Witness asked
to doctor, but a person in the shop said that
not to be spoken with. A young man was
to know why he would not receive
s a rar,shioner ? T'ne parish office:" said they
have nothing to say to her, but desired her to
.tout her business. 'Witness said she must see
hut could not see him ; she then cndea-

vowed to go to Mrs. Cooper's, where she had lived
two years, but was not able ; she sat down on the
grass for two hours, the pains of labour were then
on her. Witness then went back to Paxton's, the
constable ; she could get no relief there, and went
again to the doctor's. Witness went to Mr. Clottgli's ;
a young man in the shop said his master was not at
home, nor did he know when he would return. Wit-
ness then tried to go to a brother, who lived just along
the bridge ; she was in great pain and agony, and
was afraid of being delivered in the street. Witness•
was taken with pains again about nine o'clock at
night, and was delivered about twelve ; she had the
child with her ; it was a base-born child. Her bra
ther's house was in the parish of Westham, where
herself and child had been maintained ever since ;
she wanted parish relief at the time she applied.
On her cross-examination by Mr. GURP/RY, witness
said she had lived at a Mr. Wakefield's, in London,
till the 22d of September, two days previously to
her being at Bow ; her mistress did not know of her
pregnancy; she had gained a settlement in Bow four
years previous. When witness first went to the work-
house she said she was in the family way : the mis-
tress (who is since dead) asked why she did not bring
an order from a Justice ? she was at her full reckon-
ing. Witness was in such great pain and agony, that
she could not recollect whether Mrs. Paxton was by
the whole time she was at Mr. Paxton's door. She
told every one she was in the pains of labour.
Mary Clack, the sister-in-law to the last witness,
confirmed part of the evidence of Elizabeth Clack.
Mary Goff was sent for about ten o'clock ; Elisa-
beth Clack was in great pain, and cried out for help;
witness went herself for a midwife; she went to Mr.
Clough next morning with the midwife; witness told
Clough that the woman was without nourishment,
and was much exhausted ; Clough said he would
come or send in half an hour; Clough did not come,
and witness went again; she waited some time before
she saw Clough, who said—" Good woman, I have
nothing to do with it, you must apply to the officers
of Stratford." The poor woman had nothing what-
ever ; the Stratford officers relieved her directly.
Lord ELLENBOROUGII asked Mr. Gurney if he had
any evidence which would do away the last part of
the charge, namely—his acknowledging his previous
neglect, by promising to come in half an hour?
Mr. GURNEY was fearful he had no evidence to
offer which would go quite so far as that, but he had
witnesses to prove that the young woman, when she
was taken ill, or pretended to be ill, said nothing
whatever about her being in a state of pregnancy.—
Indeed the general impression upon the minds of those
to whom she applied, and who saw her in the early
part of the day, when Mr. Clough was called to her,
was, that she was a complete impostor, and not de-
serving any attention.
Lord ELLENLIOROUGII thought the evidence of Mrs.
Goff conclusive as to the defendant having been
guilty of negligence by his own admission ; the other
matters might be pleaded upon a future occasion.
A verdict of Guilty was then entered.
