Mit- ford, Esq. one of the magistrates for Devon, appears to be particu- larly hard :-AIr. G. B. Brown, Inspector of H.awkers' Licence, lodged an information against Frances, wife of Thomas Coles, a very decent wsell-looking young womaan. for an infringement of the Actrelatingto Hawkersand Pedlers. It appeared that the defend- ant had been some time in the practice of isnaking cupS, and other millinery, with materials partly prepared br herself and plrtlY pur- chased from others, but principally of her own manufacture. These goods she was in the habit of carrying about for sale, ithout a li- cence, in the villages and parishes surrounding AlphirNton; thXt she had done so the preceding week, at Esminster, was proved by two witnesses. Under these circumstanices the worthy miagistratc felt himself reluctantlv compelled to commit her to prison for three, months, as she and her relations were,either ,snable or Anwilling to pay the petnalty of 10., and the goods scizcd (contained in two basd - boxes, then produced), it was eonjectured, would not producte near that amount. The defendant's l'egal adviser LMr. Tuecker) wished her to appeal against the conr.iction * thissbe an her friends dewinae to do: she was therefore committed. In the course of the evening, the magistrate was apprised that an-ple securit would be imme- diately given for payment of the penalt witwo-t delay; hich being done to his satisfaction, he ordered her immediate bration. -Tan;ntoi Cosericr.
