This was a cafe of great outrage on the part of chi
Defendant, who was conviaed at Warwick of alfault-
ing Jetfe Hilton, a fhoeitiaker, with a poker, and dif-
abling him. _

It appeared upon the evidence of the Procreators
that he had given information to the fupervikte of
fame malt, which was to be removed in the slight.
He went towards the place %s ten it was clink, amnia.
parried by one Waller, an exciteman, and law a malt
walking backward; and forwardi, who, upon feting
diem' concealed himftlf. When they came up to
him, he turned out to be the prifoner, who, hasking
under the Profecutor's hat, cried out—" D—n your
eyes, are you waiting for another ? do ye."
He then (truck the profecutor with his fill, who m-
anned the blow with his Rick, and knocked the De.
fendart down, and while in that fituation, advifed
him to go home. This he repeated twice. The
Defendant then ran away, and a, the Pr. f,eutotand
Waller were returning home, on p tai^g the Deign-
dant's houfe, he came out, and with an iron intltu•
roan flruck the profeetnor feveral violent blows on
the bead, and cut him to the bone ; lenfelefs
to the gi. and, and when recovered a little, he crept
home as well as he could on his hands and knees...—
He was confined for upwards of thirteen weeks after,
and entirely Intl the tire of one of his eyes; 1* has
ever fince been ill, and not able to cans his bread.—
When he preferred his indiftment at the Borough
Seffions, the Grand Jury, who were toollly =ldlers,
laughed at him, and did not find it.
On his crofs-examinati,n at the trial, it appeared,
that he had prefented a 8:11 to the Grand Jury of the
counts-, which had been refuted, and the faith) al.
figneci by him was, that there were fereral anal:tiers
upon it. A Rory was attempted to be fet up on the
part of the Defendant, t., which on the trial the
learned Judge and Jury paid no attention, aßd the
Defendant was found guilty.
' Mr.Serjeant VAUGHAN contended, that in this earn
the Defendant ought to 4flcern himfelt fortunate that
he had rr.t been tried under a Ide Aft (Lord Ellen.
