in,lll kept a li•tle ?wile and cart, and tiled ti•
ei,d the ilvldren to gather grail, for the honk ; and '
t they di; lint get what was (b ffi ought fuehnt, he '
heat them with great cruelty.
The child was accordingly called : he !twee, that
alsout the time intended incite indielment, hi, fa titer
t; hirri with a honk whip ; that he Grit tied him up
to a flaple in the cellar, and that he hung by his
hands. The boy was about nine years old, and did
not give vet y Min& evidence, nor did his perfor.
hibit any mar ks of ill treatment or vinlenoe. Two of
the neighbours hated, that they had heard the chil.
dr en cry out, but did not fpeak to any fpecifie,reits of
cr why.
The Jury, after fame deliberation, returned ever
diet of—Not Guilty.
They were tried on a fecond indiftment, and alto
acquitted.
Robere Alltn, 71,91netrt FiArr, and Matiltenzs
were capitally convieterl of felonioufly heeling one
bag of cotton, of the value of 251. from a barge lying
on the River Thames, the property of William
)ioung. The Thames Police Officers met them with
the property, when the Prifoners made a defperate
refinance, beat down the Officers with their ears,
jumped into the water, and endeavoured to fwim to
land. They were, however, taken and fecored, after
many blows had paffed. Falter appeared to be the
molt delPerate of the three.
Dos e.Gissmem.—Mr.Serjeant Sint Pima fisted,
that this was an aaion by the Lord of the Manor of
neddington, to recover poffeUlon of an acre of the
wage land of the Manor which. had been inclofed by
the Defendant, without an right whatever. The
Defendant, he (laid, was if mint 'who, like a (nail,
carried his houfe upon his back, and moved about
wherever he belt could live. His manGon was con-
lir-laded upon wheels, and, like an ancient Scythian,
or modern Tartar, he carried his wife, his family,
and even his manfion itfelf, wherever he was inclined
to rove. Sametimes he came near the Metropolis—
at other times he enjoyed the lea breezes to allay the
rummer heats. At length, however, he feerned to
have taken a kiting likenefs to his prefent nation—
foes after having taken up his abode for tome time
on the Manor of Warrington, which adjoined Bed
dint ton, he moved to the other fide of the Common
within the Manor of Warrington, and then he took
his wheels off his houfe, giving it a greater degree of
permanency. After it had remained a (Iron time he
inclofed the ground around it, and now lie intifled he
had a right to retain poileffion, even againft the Lord
of the manor.

Tlfefe fans being proved, Mr. Gessoes, for the
Defendant, admitted he could not anfsvcr the cafe.
The Plaintiff, therefore, had a verdia with nominal,
damages, the anion being merely to alien the Lord's
right to the wale.
William Hart was indided for robbing Robert James
Hendrie on the highway at Wandfworth, and taking
from him a (even fhilling piece and a fispence. The
Jury pronounced a verdiet of Guilty.
The Home Circnit here concluded, and it has been
one of the molt barren knuwn for many years.
