and that the only reafon he had to fuppofe it a copy was, that it had no engraver's name underneath. On the part of the defendant, it was proved that Mr. Sayer, being out of town, and Mr. Bennet, his partner, being ill, Mr. Wittol, their fhopkeeper, purchafed from a perfon unknown four fmall prints of Mrs. Siddons, at one shilling each; two of which were fold at one and fixpence each. That Mr. Sayer, on receiving a letter from Mr. Millington, the plaintiff's attorney, threatening him with a profecution, immediately fent the two remaining prints to the plaintiff, affuring him that thofe, with the two fold, were all he had purchased. The counfel for the defendant then offered to produce Meffrs. Bartolozzi, Earl, Dighton, Picot, Humphrey, Burke, Sammil, Pogi, Series, and Walker, to prove, that in their judgment the leffer portrait was not a copy; but Earl Mansfield advifed that the parties fhould confent to have a jury man withdrawn. To this the counfel for the plaintiff objected for fome time; but at last a juror was withdrawn, and the parties accordingly paid their respective costs.

2. The feffions, which began on the 23d of July, clofed this morning. The first bufinels Mr. Harrison entered upon was to pafs fentence on Mr. Ryland: the prifoner being brought up, was afked in the usual form what he had to fay in objection to the decifion upon his cafe. He prefented a paper nearly to the following effect; which, on account of the extreme forenefs of his throat, was read by Mr. Reynolds, the clerk of the arraigns. "I dare not challenge the juftice of my verdict: I am,however,conscious of my own innocence; and hope that my life will be preferved by the royal clemency of my fovereign,on whofe bounty it has long fubfifted. Mr. Harrifon then ftated the nature of the offence, obferving, that the guilt of the prifoner being declared by a jury of his countrymen, it was no longer to be difputed. He next adverted to the circumftances of the cafe, and the fituation of the criminal, remarking that the forgery had been carried on with that ingenuity and art which were moft dangerous, as tending to elude the probability of detection. The prifoner, he faid, had obtained credit with his fellow-citizens, and unjustly made ufe of it for the purposes of deceit. While the extent of his abilities as an artift was on the one hand a fubject of admiration; on the other, by the ill ufe he had applied them to, it became a matter of regret. To fupport the eredit, and continue the circulation of paper, fuch offences must be neceffarily punished with death. He recommended to the prifoner the cultivation of a truly penitential difpofition, as the best and only means of obtaining favour at the bar of Heaven; and then pronounced the ufual fentence, which was received by Mr. Ryland with great fortitude and compofure. The prifoner (who by the indulgence of the sheriffs was not fettered) appeared in better health and spirits than we have seen him fince his misfortunes. Mr. Ryland being removed, the other convicts (twelve in number) were brought to the bar, and afked the usual queftions. Three of them went down upon their knees, and folicited mercy; one or two afferted their innocence; and the remainder tacitly acquiefced in the juftice of their feveral fentences. Mr.

Harrison then stated that they had been fairly tried by humane and difcerning juries, and found guilty of offences, which, for the protection of the honeft part of the community, the wisdom of the laws hadjustly directed to be punished with death. That the bar was unhappily crouded almoft every feffions with capital convicts, and that the alarming repetition and increafe of crimes made rigour abfolutely neceffary, and left but Imall hopes of temporal mercy. He therefore recommended to them, during the short space of time allotted for their earthly refidence, an habitual practice of thofe means and duties which might bring them to true repentance, and the favour of the fupreme and all-merciful Deity.

Mr. Ryland, on this folemn occafion, was genteelly drefied in mourning, and behaved in the moft refpectful manner to the court, politely bowing both at his entrance and exit. The fight of fo many unhappy men, who by their crimes had forfeited their lives to the laws of justice and their country, accompanied by the ferious admonitions addrefied to them, was truly awful. The feffions was adjourned till the tenth of September.

4. Came on before Lord Loughborough and Sir W. H. Afhhurft, Lords Commiffioners for the Greal Seal, the petition of Thomas Wooldridge, Efq. on behalf of himself and Henry Kelly, Efq.his brother-in-law and partner, merchants, of London. The petition prayed, that a commiffion of bankruptcy, which had been sued out against them upon the application of Meffis. Cooper, Garratt, and Taddy, might be fuperfeded, and that they might be at liberty to proceed by law against the parties, for fuch illegal, oppreffive, and cruel procedure; when, after hearing counfel on both fides, their lordships ordered the commiffion to be fuperfeded at the expence of Meffrs. Cooper, Garratt, and Taddy.

12. The Prince of Wales's birth-day was obferved at Windfor with every demonftration of joy confiftent with the fituation of her Majefty. Their Majefties received the compliments of the nobility in a private way, as the Prince's birthday is not to be kept at court till next April.

At night the whole town was illuminated, and feveral of the inhabitants difplayed transparencies.

Though there was no public celebration of the Prince's birth-day in town, it was privately most fplendidly obferved. Several gentlemen wore favours in their hats; and the Honourable Artillery Company, who held a field-day, and had a very elegant dinner, in honour of their Captain General's attaining his twenty-first year, played off very magnificent fire-works in the evening, in the Artillery-ground. Afterwards there was a ball in the Artillery-house; and the ladies and gentlemen danced till fix o'clock next morning.

There was a very numerous meeting at the Oxford Coffee-house, Strand, of the treasurers, governors, trustees, and fubfcribers to the Welsh Charity-fchool, with a great many gentlemen of the principality, to celebrate their patron's birth-day.

Sir Sampfon Gideon gave a fplendid entertain ment; and, after the old English cuftom, res galed his tenants, labourers, and vicinity, with furloins of beef, and hogfheads of ale.

16. This being the birth-day of his Royal High

nefs

nefs Prince Frederick, Bishop of Ofnaburgh, who now enters the twenty-first year of his age, their Majefties received the compliments of the nobility on the occafion at Windfor.

18. At half after nine this evening, a beautiful luminous phænomenon appeared in the northeaft part of the heavens, which paffed over the metropolis towards the fouth-west. It feemed about the fize of the full moon, which it greatly refembled as it emerged from the dark clouds; but the radiance it diffufed was confiderably greater, and the light which it conveyed to the earth was little inferior to that of the fun at noonday. As it hot from the deep gloom, it was followed by a stream of light, which divided in it's progress to the oppofite quarter, where the whole difappeared, and probably diffipated, without approaching the earth.

It would be ridiculous to retail the many filly accounts of this meteor given in the newspapers, as it is faid to have appeared in different parts of the country. The above description of it's appearance in London may be relied on; and the meteor itfelf, though not very common, is by no means a prodigy. Similar appearances were obferved in March 1719, and in August 1738.

It has been remarked, that the prefent year exhibits what has not occurred in the three preceding centuries-two total lunar eclipfes near the equinoxes; that which happened on the 18th of March, and that which will occur on the 10th of next month. Unufual fummer-heats, violent ftorms, and a more than ordinary portion of the electric fluid in the regions of the air, have been prognofticated as the certain confequences of fuch pofitions of the mundane fyftem.

20. This morning the following malefactors were carried in three carts from Newgate, and executed at Tyburn, viz. James Grant and William Smith, for breaking open the dwelling-houfe of Mr. Jacomb, on Lawrence Pountney Hill, and ftealing a quantity of filver-plate-George Adams, alias Peat, for a burglary in the dwelling-houfe of Mrs. Harrison, in Lincoln's-Inn Fields, and ftealing fome filver-plate, apparel, &c.-Thomas Davis, for breaking and entering the chambers of Mr. Handcock, in Staple's Inn, and ftealing a quantity of wearing-apparel-John Bitton, for affaulting William Ufherwood on the highway, near Kilburn, and robbing him of a handkerchief and 6s.-John Fentum, in company with his brother Benjamin, for affaulting Francis Fenley, on the highway, in Kingsland Road, and robbing him of half a guinea, 58. and a pair of buckles-John Morella, for privately stealing in the fhop of Mr. Philip Lifhby two pair of filver buckles and Richard Pratt, for perfonating and affuming the name of another Richard Pratt, a feaman on board his Majefty's ship Pomona, with an intent to receive his prizemoney.

21. This being the birth-day of his Royal Highness Prince William Henry, his Majefty's third fon, who now enters the nineteenth year of his age, there being no levee nor court at St. James's, their Majesties received the compliments of the nobility on the occafion at Windfor.

22. The report was made to his Majefty in

council, of the thirteen convicts who received fentence of death on the 2d instant, viz. William Wynne Ryland, for a forgery on the East India Company; John Ferdinando Lloyd, for a robbery in the dwelling-house of Mr. Martin, King Street, Soho; Thomas Burges, for a highway robbery; John Edwards, for forging a feaman's will and power; William Harpur, for ftealing a gelding; James Rivers, alias Davis, for a robbery in a dwelling-houfe; William Smith, alias Ledridge, William Spong, Edward Edien, George Gahagan, and Jacob Ringrofe Atkins, for highway roberries; James Brown, alias Oatley, for a burglary; and James Bowen, for a robbery in a dwelling-houfe: when William Wynne Ryland, John Ferdinando Lloyd, Thomas Burges, John Edwards, James Rivers, alias Davis, James Brown, alias Oatley, Jacob Ringrose Atkins, and William Spong, were ordered for execution on Friday the 29th of Auguft. Atkins and Spong were afterwards refpited; William Smith, alias Ledridge, James Bowen, and George Gahagan, were pardoned; and Edward Edfen and William Harpur are to be fent for a term of years on board the ballait lighters.

26. This morning Simmonds the foldier, and Mary Baker, for the murder of the failor, in Mint Street, (fee Page 479) were executed, purfuant to their fentence, in Mint Square, where a high gallows was erected for that purpose. After hanging an hour, their bodies were carried to St. Thomas's Hofpital for diffection.

29. This morning the following prifoners under fentence of death were carried from Newgate to the place of execution, viz. William Wynne Ryland, John Ferdinando Loyd, Thomas Burges, John Edwards, James Brown, and James Rivers.

Lloyd and Mr. Ryland went in mourningcoaches, and were followed by the other malefactors in two carts. Mr. Ryland, who led the proceffion, was dreffed in black, and accompanied by the Reverend Mr. Villette and two other gentlemen.

About five minutes before eleven o'clock, Mr. Ryland's coach drew up on the right of the gallows, as did Lloyd's on the lert, and between them the carts: foon after, a violent ftorm of thunder, lightning, and rain, came on, when the fheriffs gave orders for a delay of the execution till the ftorm fubfided.

They were turned off about a quarter before twelve; and, after hanging the ufual time, the bodies were cut down, and delivered to their refpective friends for interment.

Such a concourfe of people had not been seen on a like occafion fince the execution of Dr. Dodd.

Mr. William Wynne Ryland was the eldest of seven fons of the late Mr. Edward Ryland, a copper-plate printer in the Old Bailey. Before the father of the prefent unfortunate gentleman quitted Wales, of which country he was a native, the late Sir Watkin Williams Wynne happening jocofely to fay, that, if Ryland married, he should expect the compliment of being asked to become fponfor for his first son, was fome years afterwards called upon for the performance of

this engagement, which with great good-humour and politenefs he confented to fulfil, and the child was, in compliment to Sir Watkin, named William Wynne.

Mr. Francis Ravenet, who then lived at Lambeth, took young Ryland as an apprentice, and foon difcovered in him very extraordinary prefages of future excellence. During his apprenticeship, he engraved a head of Sir Watkin Williams Wynne, which was esteemed a production of fingular merit; and this was followed by many other juvenile performances, executed with uncommon tafte and delicacy.

Shortly after the expiration of his apprenticefhip, Mr. Ryland visited the French and Italian fchools, in company with Mr. Gabriel Smith, an a tift of great merit, and Mr. Jofeph Howard, a gentleman of Cornwall, who had both been his fchool-companions. His motive was improve ment rather than profit; but his fine genius, and vaft powers of execution, not only obtained him very diftinguished profeffional celebrity, but large pecuniary emoluments. He had not been long in France, before he obtained a gold medal from the academy at Paris; and he was received by the members of the academy at Rome with the moft flattering maks of approbation.

On his return to England, he introduced the art of engraving copper-plates fo as to yield an impreffion refembling drawings in chalk; and, being patronized by the Earl of Bute, and by him recommended to his Majefty, he was rewarded by a grant of 2001 a year. Mr. Ryland's -firft capital productions, after being honoured with the royal pa ronage, were, a whole length of the king, another of the queen, and a third of -Lord Bute, from paintings by Ramfay. Among a vast number of other pieces, all of them exhibiting inconteftible proofs of a masterly genius, are, a fine likeness of her Majefty, fmiling with ineffable complacency on an infant fleeping in her arms; and a story from Plutarch, in which the paffions are admirably expreffed.

Mr. Ryland, fome years fince, was in partnerfhip with Mr. Bryer, who kept a print-ihop in Cornhill, where they for fome time carried on a confiderable trade, but at length failed.

Mr. Ryland afterwards opened a print-shop in the Strand, where he had every prospect of fuccefs; but, being fond of a private life, he declined this, and retired to Pimlico; from whence he removed to Knightsbridge, where he committed he unhappy act for which he suffered.

A friend of Mr. Ryland's, who died fome few years ago, bequeathed him one of the eleven thares of the Liverpool water-works, which are each efteemed worth near 10,000l. and to encreafe his property in thefe works, is faid to have been the fatal object which prompted him to commit the crime for which his life has atoned.

He has left a wife, of very exemplary character, and fix children.

31. Advice was received at the Secretary of State's office, that the last felons fentenced for transportation, to the amount of 150, which were put on board the transport-fhip about a fortnight lince, had rofe on the captain and crew in the Downs, whom they confined, after which they

got on fhore at Deal, and all made their efcape. Such a number of perfons are, however, in fearch of them, that there is little doubt that most of them will be apprehended in a very short time. Several of them have been already taken.

About eleven o'clock at night, came on moft violent storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, which continued near four hours. Vaft damage was fuftained in the cellars and warehouses at the water-fide'; and, in fhort, in almost all the lower parts of the metropolis and it's vicinity.

Among the number of accidents that happened by the lightning, five horfes, the property of Judge Ahhurst, were found dead in a field belonging to his lordship, at East Barnet.
