Mr. Wstts, chemist, of the Strand, being unanimously
called to the Chair. In the course of the discussion it
was objected t the Bill, that the interests of yearly
ten.tuts were not sufficiently attended to. As the Bill
was at present w(.rded, no compensation was held out
th•m for-their fixtures and good will. The course
by which any claim was to be established, was thought
oppressive, front the scrutiny to which it would subject
the affairs of individuals. On these points it was re-
solved to petition Parliament.
AsnucrroN.—The State Trials contain the report of
a case of abduction in the year 1702, in the reign of
Queen Arts; a Danish captain, of the name of Swens-
den, carried off a Miss Rawlins, a young Lady Residing
in London, about 18 years of age, having a fortune of
200 W. and 201. a year. It appeared that he had visited
the young Lady, and paid his addresses to her; but,
having a rival, he employed a woman whom he had
got introduced into the family, to invite the young
Lady and her guardian to take a ride in a coach, when
her taken on a false arrest, and conveyed to the
Fleet, and under the terror of being sent to gaol she
married him. The Captain pleaded that the young
Lady had encouraged his addresses, and called evidence
to prove that she had often- shewn great partiality for
him, and did not object to the marriage. The Jury re-
turned a verdict of Guilty; and the f, Rowing day Sarah
Dayton, whom he had engaged to inveigle Miss Raw-
lins into the coach, was also tried and convicted, and
both received sentence of death. Captain Swrnsden
declared that Miss Rawlins went away from him as
good a maid as she came to him. The Judge said that
had nothing to do with the case. Sarah Baynton de-
clared that she was quick with child, and her sentence
was respited. Swenaden was executed at Tyburn.
