the neceffity thet e was for making an example ofthe
defendants, if this profecution flnuld appear to be
well eltablithed.

The profecutor Alexander Summons was then ex-
amined, who Rated that he was a Jew taylor, refid.
ing in Stoney-lane, Houndfditch ; on the 9th of LA
July, he went in company with Harris, a Jew
attorney, to Smithfield, for the purpore of buying 4
honk. When he entered the ma•ket,witnefs obfereed
a boy riding one about for thew, that looked very
fightly and a fah goer; it was a black horfe with a
grey tail : witnefs called to the boy, who immedi-
ately applied to his 'nailer, and the defendant Ed.

-. Harris. the attorney, corroborated the evidence
of the witnefs, and further hated, that at the time the
bargain was making, Edwards, Clark, and Riley very
artfully prevented them from looking clofely at the
borfe, by palling between them in all direftions, and
drawing their attention to the legs, knees, and other
parts of the animal that were not fufpicious. Witners
was not a judge of horfellefh, but from the behaviour
of the parties, he fulpefled unfair dealing, therefore
did all he could to per(nade the profecutor not to
purchafe.the boric. This witnefs was very accurate
in his hatement of the above tabs, and appeared
much incenfed that the judgment and experience of
the Jews thould (offer fo leverely by the fuperior des-
tetity and impofition of the Defendants, who are
Yorkthiremen.

The evidence being gone through, the Court, after
fume delibration, were of opinion, that the charge of
confpiracy was not eflablilled, the defendants having
given time to the buyers to approve of the boric, or
return it. The Jury, therefore, acquitted them. The
Common Serleaat &deiced them talons of their ini-
quitous proceedings, which, if purfued, could only
lead them to an untimely end; had they been, in-
difted in a different manner, he obferved they would
