before a number of persons.
The prisoner said, " I plead Guilty," and looked in
very supplicating mapper at the B. nch.
Mr. %LLANO said, that the circumstances of th

ordinary comment and punishment. It had become a
'practice of late amongst, he regretted to say. persons
of respectable appearance, as well as. the lowest orders
of society, to assault females whose curiosity led them'

attacks upon women, both old and young, at this scene

the Pair abounded. The defendant had gone to the
Pair with the determination to insuk as many women
as were unable to resist his mode of attack. As soon

tually over her head. He then held her up to a set of
idle blackgdards, who accompanied him, and assisted

offence.
An An officer prayed that the defend sat bad been

amusement described above. Upon one occasion he
stripped up a fine young woman and exhibited her
person all sound.
Toe defendant pleaded drunkenne.s in excuse, and
'begged to have a mitigated punishment.
The RIiCORDER, in passidg sentence, asked the de4
fendant what he would have done if he saw a fellow in
-the fair exposing the person of his wife or daughter?
Defencalst—l would have knocked him down your
Lordship, and I well descried to be bunked down
myself.
Toe. Rumania agreed with the prisoner. He did
deserve to be knocked down; At Bartholomew Fair,
• those vile and unmanly practices were very frequent,
and the utmost exertions must be used to put au end
to them.

The prisoner was then sentenced to be confined six
weeks in the Miuse of Correciton, and ro be kept to
