told the Winters fo platdible a Rory, that the latter
was induced to let him have the goods on his giving
a note for the money, payable in fifteen days, after
..hich the property was fent away by the Greenwich
Coach. Before the bill became due the Prifoner
came again, and humbly requefied a couple more
flitches and feveral hams, to furnilh one of his cuf-
tamers with in Newgate-fireet : the fame was given
him, to the amount of four pounds ten thillings and
eight...pence, but no money was produced. He laid
he would pay fur it the neat day, and repeated the
former account given of his rcfpeaability. Witnefs
having fit:peeled that his condua was not fincere,
hired a porter named Methans. to whom he gave
the laft purchafed articles, and defired him to ob-
ferve where the Ptifoner fhould direet it to be lett;
I they both went together, and when they got to the
Wine Vaults, the corner of Fleet Market, the pri.
foster took *the porter in, ordered him something to
drink, and while the latter was fo employed, went
off with the bacon undifcovered. The porter being
left alone returned to the Witoefs, and related how
he had been ferved. On the day following Witnefs
I received a Letter from the prifoner to the following
effeft :

41 Worthy Sir, I am forty to inform you, that I
have met with a very great hurt coming over the
water IA night ; I luk my money, and cannot pay
you the money till next week. I am, Sir, your true
friend, &c."

This apology was not relifhed, and the witnefs
next day went down to Greenwich to enquire for
him ; but on going to the Blue anchor, found no
perfon who knew the prifoner ;—he had been feen
among other petitioners, but was known never to
have kept a horfe and cart at any time in Greenwich.
Witnefs believing he had been defrauded, went to
Sir Richard Yearfon, of Greenwich College, who in-
formed him, that the prifoner was a very bad man,
that he bore an infamous charafter, and had been
tried for felony ; and promifed when he next came
to the College to detain him. The prifoner, finding
by fame information which he received, that the wit-
nefs had been making inquiry after him, went to the
latter, and laid he had loft all his money, but would
get Tome more goods from fomebody elk, and fell
them to pay the witnefs, who nbferved, di I topple
you mean to rob others to pay me ;—if fo, I would
rather be unpaid." After which, he took him to St.
Manin's Watchhoofe.

The porter who went with the bacon to the gin-
!hop. corroborated the profecutor's evidence.
The prifoner (poke in his defence, and behaved in
the molt extraordinary manner, Paid he was a gen.
tleman, and a fair tiader. He kept the Court con-
nulled with laughter at the droll and ftrange way in
' which he conduEted himfelf. The Jury, without he-
fitation, pronounced him Guilty ; and Mr. MAIN.
WARING fentenced him to be imprifoned one month
in Newgate, and publicly whipped from Charing-
Crofs to the end of Parliament-areet. The prifoner
was an elderly man, ufed all the rough language of
a tailor. and, to life his own exprelllon, had been at
tea, man and boy, for twenty-four years. The Seffions
ended.

Maaxamtonon-Srekar.-Yellerday a dathing
young Cyprian in the vicinity of Rathbone-place,
charged her Matron with affaulting her, and detain-
ing her property. A nephew of the landlady had
taken apartments for his fair companion at the houfe
of his aunt; but owing to pecuniary difficulties, he
had been unable to acquit himfelf like a gentleman,
and had confequently refigned the reins of manage-
ment to his fair friend, and a (port time after entirely
deferted her. The fum of 31. was due for the apart-
ments, which was promifed by die Lady to be fpee-
dily paid ; but her Matron doubting her veracity,
entered her apartments, and infided on her quitting
her houfe that infant, and that the fhould detain her
trunk as a fecurity for payment of the money. The
Lady was turned out by afliflance, and was inc
to take (hater with a Lady in the firfl floor, where
the thought herfelf ill-treated, and went down and
demanded her trunk, feized hold of it, when it was
forced from her by the landlady, who committed the
affault, by (hiking her, and tearing her pelice. The
Magillra:e faid, that the profecutrix was entitled to
her property, and the man who took the logging was
the proper perfon to pay for' it ; unlefs the profecu-
trix chofe to fettle it, the could not be compelled.
