not eventually apply in every refpect to the 
bufinefs brought before the jury ; for when the 
grand jury afterwards brought the bill into: 
court, it appeared that neither Jones, Binns, 
nor Bathurft, were indicted under the late acts,. 
but only for feditious words. They pleaded 
not guilty to their. refpective indiétments,. and 
the folicitoy for the crown produced three writs 
of Certiorasi to remove the three indiftments 
into the court of King’s Bench.

A canal machine has lately. been invented by 
Mr. E. Hasxewy of Gloucefter, to whom = 
patent has been granted, which may prove of. 
great public utility. The ufe of tunnels will 
be rendered almof% unnecefiary, as this machine 
takes the foil from the bottom of the canal at 
40 feet deep, with equal facility as at fix feet 
from the furface. One of them is at work on 
the Gloucefter and Berkley «anal. By the 
affiftance of two men only, it removes £4c0. 
loaded barrows from the bottom of the canal, 
to the diftance of 4o feet, in 12 hours; and 
is fo contrived as to take up the loaded barrows, 
leave them at the top, bring down the empty 
ones in regular rotation, and leave them at the 
bottom, It can be moved along the canal to the 
diftance of 26 yards, in 10 minutes, by the twe 
men that work it. 
Several hundred acres of that large tra&, 
Corfe-lawn,, in Glouceflerfhire, hitherto wafte, 
have been converted, within the laft year, inte 
good arable land, and this feafon yield abundant 
crops, 
The Gloucefter aud Hereford canal is now 
completely navigable from the Severn to News 
ent.
