At the Lancaster assizes, Henry Patrickson, and John Postlethwaite, were found guilty of winning money by gambling; when judge Bailey passed sentence as follows: "I am glad, said he, that these prosecutions will now make it notorious that indictments for this offence may be instituted, not only by the party who has lost the money, but by any other person whatever. So that the gamester must not imagine that the law will allow him to hold his ill-gotten gains in safety. The sentence of the court is, that you John Postlethwaite, do pay to our sovereign lord the king, the sum of 100 guireas, being five times the amount of 20 guineas won by you; and also 500 guineas, being five times the amount of 100 guineas likewise won by you, making together 600 guineas. And that you, Henry Patrickson, do pay to our sovereign lord the king, the sum of 100 guineas, being five times the amount of 20 guineas won by you.

But as soon as the plaintiff's counsel had closed the examination of his witnesses, the judge and jury expressed themselves so perfectly satisfied, that the testimony which had been offered was not entitled to one particle of credit, as to intimate an opinion that the defendant's counsel, Mr. Raine, ought not to be called on for his defence.

The sentences of the persons convicted of attending unlawful meetings are," Knight, Dewhurst, and Broadhurst, to be imprisoned two years; Bury eighteen months; Adam

son fifteen months; and Fletcher one year; and at the expiration of the respective terms of their imprisonment, severally to find sureties, themselves in 401. and two sureties in 101. each, to keep the peace for three years." -Morris and Knowles, convicted of making pikes, were at the same time sentenced to twenty months' imprisonment.
