Before Jon* Caossur &adios', &swinge, Exp.
BASTARD CASS.

SArAh Pilling appeared to affiliate a child upon T.
Butterworth, a stone-mason, who denied being the father
of it. Mr. FARItAvDo the coroner, appeared f the de-
fence, and Mr. BATTY for the township of Spotland, to
which the woman belonged.
Sarah Pilling, examined by Mr. BATTY—I became
acquainted ',sub Thomas Buttes worth the last Bagslate
eases, on the sd of July ; had no connexion with him
that night; the first time was on the nicsy night after,
on the side of the race-course; have stopped up with
him one night at Scotch Johnnie' ; have bad intercourse
with him seven or eight times.
Cress examined by Mr. FARRANDThe first time
was on nicht,' night in Bagslate race week; was de.
livered on the 17th of March; 1 told a neighbour-
woman that 1 would swear it upon Thomas Butter-
wort!).

Mr. FERRANDNOve have you not said many a time
that it was Joseph Clegg's?
Sarah Pilling—Yes, I have said it was J. Clegg'.; I
hate told Fanny Pilling that I would swear it upon T.
Butterworth, a mason; I know Betty Howard, and have
told her so ; we had but one bed in the house at that
,time, but now we have two; my father, sister Jane,
myself, and halt-brother slept in one bed ; I have sworn
the child upon the light one; after the race week Thos.
Butterworth came to see me every Sunday for 7 weeks
together ; he came particularly on Ashworth Bushbear-
ing Sunday; I told Sarah Howard it was got in the
Jewry Gate, and I told her it was Joseph Clegg's;
told Fanny Piling it was Joseph Clegg's; I said so for
fear of Butterwolths running away, and to plague old
Clegg's wife, because she had set it out that I was with
child by my father.
Examined by Mr. Batty...l4e had only one bed; I

. .
•
lay at the feet, wad my father illy at the head ; whiie 1
was keeping company with Thomas BuVerwinfh I had
no connexion with any other man.
Mr. Fernand was about to call witnesses, when the'
Magistrates observed, that as the woman had acknow-
ledged to every thing that he could wish to prove, it
would be an unnecessary waste of time. Mr. F. how-
ever, asked permission to call ore witness, which was
granted.
Sally Pilling examined by Mr.Ferrand—l live neigh-
bour to Sarah Pilling, but am nothing ;elated to her;
have known her 17 years; 1 asked her it she was with
child? and said, if it was so, Thomas Butterworth is the
father of it. Alter the talk came out, she said it was
Joseph Clegg's.
Mr. FERRAND—Did not she tell you that Thomas
Butterworth was a mason, and she thought it better to
fatter it on him than taking a weaver ? •
S. Pilling—Yes, she said Thomas Butterworth-was a
mason, and she toought it was a better trade than being
a weave: ; they (Sarah Pilling's f amily) bad only one bed'
in the house for years.
Mr. Collingwood, the Overseer of the Township of
Spotland, then stated, that they had 20 large families
in their Township who had but one beJ each, and the'
same remark would apply with eqUat truth to the other
townships in the parish.
Pilling, the lather of Sarah Pilling—Gentlemen, I
had my goods taken and sold, and the times have b. en
so hard what could we get ?
Mr. FZIRRAND—You have got something.
Pilling-1 have got nought of yours.
Mr. FARRAND—You have got something of your
daughter !
Here the case ended, and the Magistrate, were of
opinion that it would be right to make the order upon
Thomas Butterworth, mason, of Castlathi - if he
thought proper he might appeal against it. The oract
was made as follows, St 4s. for lying-in, and Is. 61.
per week.
