On search ing him, money was fmin.l concealed carefully it various parts of his rage, to the amount of 1:? t.. and also a valuable silver homing watch. capped and jewelhd : it also appeared that the prisoner was in the weekly receipt of 3s. front the Parish Officers of St. George's, to which l'arisit he lalangs. The money. watch, and some papers and memo randums intrul on the prisoner. were handed IWO' tothe Churchwardens: and on Curt:Ler inquiry, it appeared. that this miserable impostor was the proprietor of Reverie small tenements. the rent of which he received weekly.—lie was committed to the House of Corrccinin i Jr seven day:, and ordered toto le afterwards passed to his parish. nine convict. ut Ely Aswi,es, %otiose .enTentes 'Were mi tigated to transportation, were hist week eons qed to Newgare, from whence they are to be sent off to notaisy Bay by Cite t*st vessel that sails.

The coachman was thrown from off his box with such force against the wheels of an oppo site carriage, that he rebounded back, his head awning under the box of his own carriage as it fell. The poor man received so much injury that his life is despaired of Mr. and Mrs. Pocock and family received no ether Injury than the fright.
