Three witnesses were examined on the.part of the
prosecution, which was conducted by Mr. SMITH. Two
of the witnesses. were parish officers, who were sent to
the house in question, and who paid a certain wm for
accommodation there. The third witness .was a Mr.
Scott, a respectable inhabitant,' "wig* could pot sreAlt‘
decidedly to the fact of the house being disorderly.
The Count. were rof opinion, that though the house
might be, and very probably was, sis described, that
the evidence was insufficient to sustain the prosecution,
and the Jury acquitted the prisoner.
Mr. SMITH intimate!, in his opening, that it was the
intention of the parish, and of the contiguous parish of '
St. Andrew, Holborn, for Which parish he sometimes
appeared in that Court, to be active in puttine down
these receptacles for vice and profligacy ; and on the
failure of the case observed, that as se all grew wiser
by experience, care would be taken that the next case
should be better fottifitd by evidence to sustain it'.
