CHESHIRE.

A late outrage committed on an inoffensive preacher in this county, has excited much indignation. The following are the particulars: On the evening of Sunday, the 14th of June, William Wood, a licensed preacher of the Wesleyan Methodist connection, joined with about two hundred of his neighbours to worship Ged in the open air, at Audlem, a village in Cheshire. While be was in the act of praying, Mr. J. Groom, an attorney, went and dragged him from the place where he was kneeling, with such violence, that he tore a large hole in his coat. The preacher was summoned to appear the following Wednesday before Sir Corbet Corbet, bart. who convicted him in the penalty of twenty pounds for teaching and preaching on ground not licensed. The defendant contended, that, as he was seized in the act of praying to God, and had not begun his sermon, nor uttered a sentence by way of teaching his audience, he was not guilty of the alledged offence; but his plea was over-ruled. The defendant having refused to pay the fine, a warrant of distress was issued, and a bailiff sent to take possession. The defendant appealed to the Quarter Sessions, and went with four witnesses to Knatsford, but Sir Corbet did not attend, the cause is therefore deferred till the Michaelmas Sessions. In the mean time, the execution on his goods proceeds; and, on July 15th, (the bailiff having been eight days in the house,) they were taken to the village for sale. Several of the hearers also have been convicted in the penalty of five shillings and costs. Four have paid eleven shillings and six-pence; another has paid fifteen shillings and six-pence; and a poor old widow has had her only bed seized, with several other articles of furniture, to pay her fine and costs, which are rated at one pound.
