Two days after this, a paragraph appeared in Mr. Bell's paper, beginning with the words: "Certain fcoundrels,' fpeaking of the foldiers, in the uniform of that most execrable of all nuifances, the guards, with the butt-end of their fire-locks beat certain perfons about the head fo effectually as to fell them to the ground, &c. The jury found the defendant guilty. Mr. Tatterfal, proprietor of The Morning Poft,' was next tried for a libel in that, against lady Elizabeth Lambert.Mr. Bearcroft ftated, that this was an action brought by the countess of Cavan, in behalf of lady Elizabeth Lambert, her daughter, who was under age. This young lady had the misfortune to lose her father. She was unmarried, and about the age of nineteen. Although this young lady had the misfortune to lose her father, yet he was confiderably recompenced by the amiable character, the exemplary conduct and uncommon good fenfe of a very affectionate mother, under whofe protection at the time of the publication of this fcandalous libel the was at Southamp ton. Some of the jury might have feen, all of them might have heard, of her uncommon beauty, which was undoubtedly the theme of the public. If the jury knew her, they knew fhe was entitled to far greater praife; the was juftly the pride of her family and the joy of her friends and acquaintances; fhe was in the enjoy ment of that calm fatisfaction which is the refult of a happy station, and of an innocent life. She might have entertained, and probably had, profpects of preferment in marriage, which no young woman in the kingdom at that time was better entitled to entertain.

After which, James Martin, John Butcher, William Allen, Nathaniel Lilly, and Mary Briant, who escaped from Botany-bay, were put to the bar, when the court ordered them to remain on their former fentence, until they should be difcharged by due courfe of law. By this lenient fentence, Mary Briant and James Martin will be discharged in fix months, William Allen in one year, and Nathaniel Lilley and John Butcher, in two years. They all fay they confider the prison they are now in as a paradife, compared with the dreadful fufferings they endured on their voyage. The refolution displayed by the woman is hardly to be paralleled. At one time their anchor broke, and the furf was fo great that the men laid down their oars in a state of defpair, and gave themselves up as lost; but this amazon, taking one of their hats, cried out, Never fear, and immediately began to exert herfelf in clearing the boat of water; in this her example was followed by her companions, and by great labour the boat was prevented from finking, until they got into a smoother fea.
