SURREY SESSIONS.
Mr. Berton, the solicitor, of Union-street. in the Borough.
exhibited articles of peace against John Field the younger,
of Peckham Rye. in the parish of St. Giles, Camherwell, for
threatening to destroy his own father, and for lying in wait in
a ditch with the view of accomplishing that object.

Mr. B tarots slated that Mr. Field. sen. was a man of re-
spectability and wealth, and well known la the neighbour-
hood of Peckham, and that he had, for a length of time, been,.
the object of his son's most unrelenting persecution.

The witnesses to this treatment were, the elder Mr. Field,.
and Thomas Clifford, a beadle and constable of the parish,. ,
whose evidehce was to the following erect:—

The defendant, who is about 81 years of age, was bred up
to, and followed a respectable trade, and after his apprentice-
ship expired, his father assisted, and put him into business,
and furnished him with money to the amount of AM. to easnle
him to carry on business. The son, howeve:.....7nndected him-
self most imprudently in his business ; neglected it—became•
moat scandalous drunkard—lost and expended the money ad-
vanced to him by his father, slid contracted debts In his busi-
ness to the amount of 2,0001. The father expostulated and. '
mooned with him, while lie was in tlds course of profligacy,. '
from time to time, 0.1 toe impropriety of his conduct, and die...,
approved of it altogether ; whereby he he-aunes is the highest .•
degree. the object of his son's hatred and ill will. The suitia,:.
quence of the ill conduct of the son was, that be (the sea) ~
about three or four years ago, became a bankrupt, and had
ever since lived a debauched and abandoned life. Hitherto ho'
had threatened no act of violence against his father, but on the
20th of June last he came to his father's residence at Peckham
Rye, and requested, and afterwards insisted, that his father s
should advance him the sum of 300 f. to enable him to to into
business again. His father refused, believing front his former
ill conduct, especially from the manner in which he had acted •
Skied he had become a bankrupt, that it would be useless to.do
so. The son then with horrid oaths declared that he would mur-
.
der his father, and the well known violence of his character '
convinced the fathet' that he would be as good as his wcird. r I
On the 23d of June he again came to the house. but it war •
shut against him, when he broke down the garden gate, and i.l
the front of the house swore that he would taka away the 1'11.4,4
of both father and mother it the money he wended was nut
forthcoming.
Clifford, the constable, was seat for in consequence of thi4
behavicerof the son, and on the *th day of July, at fore
