"The defendant was convicted of enticing a number of Artificers from this country, to go to Kentucky in America; a rule was afterwards obtained, to shew cause why the judgment should not be arrested, for reasons, which appeared insufficient to the Court. That Rule therefore, was discharged, and the Defendant received judgment according to the Statute, that is, he was ordered to _pay a fine of £500, and to be confined in Newgate for the space of one year_."--(_Times, June 10, 1796._) * * * * * "On Saturday _John Paviour_ (one of these persons called _Bullock Hunters_) was tried at the Old Bailey--for driving a bullock out of Smithfield Market, early on the morning of the 23rd May last and was found guilty--DEATH. It is hoped therefore, that this prosecution will greatly check, if not wholly put an end to that pernicious practice, by which not only the Property, but the lives of the Public are so much endangered, in and about this metropolis."--(_Times, June 28, 1796._) * * * * * "The trial which was to have come on at the Assizes in York, concerning estates in Cleveland, for which a Special Jury was to be summoned, of _four Knights, and their twelve Esquires, girt with swords_, is deferred until next Assizes."--(_Times, July 27, 1796._) * * * * * "Yesterday, a Jew was convicted at the Public Office Bow Street, for selling a hat, in the street, without a stamped lining, contrary to the late Act of Parliament, and was sentenced to be imprisoned for two months, in the House of Correction. Hatters selling Hats, without a stamped lining, are liable to the penalty of £10. In the above case, imprisonment is the only mode of punishment."--(_Times, Sept. 3, 1796._) * * * * * "Certainly the number of Lawyers, which is _only_ computed to be 20,000 in Great Britain, is not so much their fault, as our own. We can neither marry, nor die, without them: but then there is no living for them."--(_Times, Sept. 28, 1796._) * * * * * "The number of Attornies posted up for admission next term, outside the Court of King's Bench, are _eighty-two_. Surely some stop should be put to this growing evil, for there is not a doubt, but that, with an increase of Attornies, must consequently follow an increase of litigation. For where the numbers surpass all reasonable bounds, they will have recourse to the most desperate means to excite business."--(_Times, Jan. 31, 1797._) * * * * *
