His de tence was ingenious.—He gave in proof that he bad a garden of Means, in which the nrofreutrix committed, nightly, trefpallcs and depreda tions. Tl .it having caught her stealing his Beans, he declared, if flic came again, Ihe might exp'-ft such conlequences as thofc ihe swore to on the trial. She came, and he kept his word. The court were of opinion, that the notice and the trcfpaflits in the Bean Garden, purged the a£t of felony, by shewing a content a priori in the proiecuuix—and the culprit v/zs acquit ted. As he departed from the bar, Mr. Costello, who had been Counsel againllhim, said —“ My good friend, you have made a tnofl excellent defence to favc your Bacon , but a vc; y bad one to favc your Beane. Aod it was remaiked, that poor P/te/ntrwould never afterwards keep Beans in his garden— “ th : women,” as he laid, “ would be after pulling them and pulling them.” John N.
