II ATTON•GAR DEN. - - - irsterday morning a rush way made into the office by a (War man and a hardwareman, each w;•li intent to make application the warrants or inset& against the other. The race was so estremele good, that it required some nicety of judgment to deride to which the preference should be given. Read, jun., however, who acted) as Judge of the Cosine. decided it in favour of the drayman. The drayinan, named Richard (not Edmund) Ironside, anted that he was in the employment of Meows. Wyatt and Co., Alebtrewers; and thee this morning he drew up his dray in l'ortpool-lane, ap peal:a to the defendant's house, when, on stepping into a house for a tear minute', his horses were started by the defendant and his iiiend. On renionstrat lig with them (whether in consequence of being earned Ironaide or nut we have new ascertained), they sprung upon him with a large file and a trowel, and endeavoured to prove te.at they were well assorted in their trade. The tile and timed produced, were capable of disorganizing a steanhengine. The sit!mi of 31r. Iromide were, however. insensible, and net a single mark appeared on hint. Not so with the defendants. The old pathless had a mountainous tumour raked on his cheei bone, while his son had had his shoulder nearly dislocated. The efforts of the drayman appeared to have been practiaed with much natural ease, while the artificial experiments of the defendants so com pletely failed, that the :llagisieate conceived their chagrin was sufil giant punishment for them, ti d accordingly dismissed the parties. Croce( Saprtrad, who acknowledged that he had deserted from We' ed Battalion of the Ist Regiment of Foot Guards, was brought up on the following charge, by Mr. Beech, an active conductor of the Bow-anent patrol. Beech Rented, that between three and four years ago he was a non-commissioned officer in the Beth Regiment of Ilussars, and then, tram the facilities which his military situation afforded hint, he knew the prisoner to be a servant to Captain Clive, of the same regiment with the primmer, from whose service be absconded, and ts:so deserted the regiment, carrying oil with him his master's horse and gig. Witness accidentally meeting him at lalington, he recognise4 him as the deserter who committed the felony. The prisoner, who is a short, well-built man, about . 43 years of age, who on being taken into namely made a esperate resistance Itch the officer, whose powers and lime would have intiniiiinted at all events a citizen, if not a soldier, pleaded guilty to the de sertion, but accounted for the disposal of the horse and gig in 0., following manner :—lie stated, that previously to Captain Clive's going to Italy, at the period of his desertion, he sold his hems and gig tie a gentleman at Westminster. whose name he for got. but who wee to pay, according to agreement, the money into tine handy of Captain lioldrow, Adjutant to the regiment; the per enabler, as also the seller, paying a guinea to each of the groom& 'ihe prisoner received the guinea as his perquisite, beyond that he had au concern in the hansaction. Immediately on the apprehension of the prisoner, Beech, the officer, went to Captain tlive's residence, in New-atreet, Spring gardens, and was informed by the footman that his master was out of town, but would return on Monday. The prisoner was remanded until Wednsaday next. IIARLBOROUGII-STREET. Yesterday Charlotte Heti-twit, a decent-looking woman, was charged by:lames Webb, a pensioned Serjeant of the 64th Regi men of Prot, with having robbed him of 13s. he stated, that on Monday hat he received his pension at the Barre, in Oxfurel-enarket, and that he went into the Cape of linod Her public-house to have a gums of gin and water. The primmer was seeing in the room, and soon entered into conversation with hint ; Its complained of having a very severe cold and cough, when save told him that he nerd not be uneasy about that, for that she had an infallible recipe that would cure him in 24 hours. She told him that she had been an old follower of the army, and that as aim ease widow, who had hick buried her husband, and being anxious to Ornge her rnditioP, if ire was a sirgle man, she would feel happy 1:1 uniting bet fate with his. The poor fellow said that lie was very thankful Ferber kind wiihm towards him, and called for another glass 4.); gut and water; the canvenation was kept up between them, he mil, very merrily, and the gin and water was coming in quickly. At length, thinking it time to depart, he pot his hand in his pocket, where. in a small bag s he had 165., but, in taking it out, there was a hole in the bag, and oho silver fell into his pocket. IVbile adjusting this, a large bundle, containing tea, sugar, and wow ing apparel of his, which was closer by hint, was taken away ; he became alarmed at miesing the hurdle, and was about to risks inquiries after it, when the prisoner told hint to give her the bag with the silver, which she would repair, and take care of for lsim, while he was inquiring, about his bundle. lle did so, and the shortly after handed him !leek the bag, saying his money was safe in it. The bundle he could not get. They then parted, and he shortly after discovered that he was 13,t. de be'ent of the silver that he should have had. There was no other person io the room with them, and of course she must have take% the ohm. -7 f/tit — part — . 714 the tostimmiy was confirmed by the waiter at the Anchor TATUM, where they were drinking.

MARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE. Cuaaeuir SI rsisraw..—On Thursday evening two young fe maks, *inters, owned Jelin and MOWN Norton, were brought up, i_nargal with defrauding • Mr. Leak; of Shouldham-street, of some money. it appeased that early that morning the accused woman, Julia Hotted, applied so Mr. Thompson, a baker, of Duna -street, for the ammo of what she believed to be a lea not., but be, laugh. ing.toltreed her to the Bank of England, and said he hail not the cranes for it. She then took it to ?Ir. Morris, of the ('astir, ice Doniet.sereet, who sent the note to Mr. brake fur the change, and be met SW, being all the money hr grad, promisiug the remainder in a abort period of time. This aunt was given the woman, who left the place, and promised to return for the remainder. She did so in some hours thee ; but in the interim Mr. Morrie and the other parties were on the rack at being so easily duped, ma, on read sag the rote, it was found to be one of those silly pieces of wit emanating from a City barber, and run thus:—" I promise to cat law in the most elegant style, or pay Idol. on demand," Ste.; and at the first marnent this "mighty" document, signed, drawn upon bank, or more properly, tissue paper, and worded as a Bank of ,England bme, only varying in the particulars as to " cutting" and .` • Leif," was thought to be what the poor woman described it, and 410 , seuently_was not particularly examinee'. On her claiming the difference (OW.) ohs was seised, end the tongues of a di soi wumen were at once in motion against her, for being such an '• Impudent t miser." She appeared as if thunderstrock on learning the cause, ta;!d more so when she wait handed over into tire custody ofa COY .ttble, who conducted her to the office. "fhe Magistrate asked an explanation of this singular business ? The prisoner Julia said she would state the truth if allowed, and proceeded to inform hint, that she and her sister wee' reilue.d to ..war a precarious subsistence on the town. and in the course of her c.r.tly perambulations she met a man dressed in the most elegant • .11e of fa-hiun, having the appearance of an accompliehed gottle moo:, who invited her to lean on his arm, and azcompanied her to i. spartments in Shouldhans.atreet, where, by his requite, she ?mitred a handsome supper of oysters, pickled salmon, wine, &c. of eeith of which he partook most heartily, having, during the time of supper, intioned her that he lived in l'ortniart.sivare, and had that evi•irie.g. won at Hove et Noir and Hazard an winterise sum, at one of the " Hells" in King-street, St. James's, which he had than about him, hut unfortunately the smallest note was for 1001 1 ., LA as, at so late an hour, such a note would not very likely be exeitanged for smaller ones, he begged her to pay for the supper, &e. His fine professions completely lulled her suspicions, and ivieg been nnly a few days pursuing such a miserable meditation, she tin not imagine MAUD alpildeof the bagenessof witich the sub. seguent remit proved him. However. he putted the night, and havirg obtained 1... r history (whine, by the way, is rattier an street- in. web he promised to remove her into a Cottage or his , a tea ' en .

RO 88888 ?IT A SERVANT.—Yeaterttay Anne Wafter, an inn:Tea:Mg-looking young woman, was placed at the bar, upon a charge of felony. It appeared that Mrs. Jenkins, who keeps a child-bed linen warehouse in the Commercial-road, with whom the prisons' lived for many years as confidential servant, had preferred a charge of felony at this Office against her shopwoman. The case was clearly made out against her; butt owing to her previous gad character, and the respectability of her friends, Mts. Jenkins declined prose. ! eating, and she was discharged, with a severe admonition from the ! Magistrate. On Mrs. Jenkins returning home that evening, the prisoner at the bar asked her how she had disposed of the prisoner (meaning the shopwounto). Mrs. Jenkins answered, that the did not wish to press the matter, und that she was discharged. " Dis charged !" exclaimed the prisoner at the bar, " why, good if you were to bring me to the Office, I could give such evidence axainst her as would hang her, and it would be no more than what she deserved." Mrs. Jenkins said, that there was quite enough of evidence at the time to convict her, if she wished to follow it up. " Then," remarked the prison,:r, "they must be the most hardened of wretches that would take any advantage of a woman of your kind disposition." Here the convers.ohm ceded. Shortly afterwards a Mrs. Williams. who also lives In the Coni riercial-road, and is in the same business as Mrs. J. clotted the shop, and said that in conseqttenre of hearing of the robbery, she haul called on her to say that she (Mrs. Williams) had from tune to time purchased articles from a young women, which she now sup posed to be hers. She then gave a description of the prisoner, from whom she generally bought them, which so corresponded with the priming., as to leave hardly a doubt on the mind of her mistress that she was the person. Yet she could hardly think that a person from whom she only a few months before heard such a declaration, could be guilty of the set. she was, however, called up from the kitchen, and on hamming into due shop, was recognised by 31ca. Williams as the person who sold her the articles and receivedlOs. the day before for twelve mos. The prisoner, who was dreadfully affected while the depositions were tidier,. was fully committed to Seagate to take het trial, and all the parties bound over to prosecute. UNION-HALL. The BECIMICILIM Mvtvea_—Yesterday Thomas Connla was brought up for final examination, charged on suspicion of has ing shut James Morgan, at Langley Park, the seat of Emanuel Goodhart, Esq., on the 15th of it ugust last. There were on the Bench, besides L. B. ALLEW, Esq., before whom the charge against the prisoner has been so direfully investi. gated, a number of other filsgiettates of the County. Mr. Onoilhart attended, as also did the whole of the witnesses against Ono nibs, to the number of 25. The following fresh evidence was given : William Keywood, a labouring man, residing at Ilidea, in Kent, deposed, that on the 6:11 inst. he went into a field belonging to Mr. Goodhart„ on a farm called Swne Farm, where he found a gun con cealed under some bushes. The gun was here produced, and identified by G. Lyon, Mr. Gudhart's guidon', Mr. Tyler, and 111 r. °teen, two turners of Bexley, as having belonged to the deceased. Mr. lioodhart examined the gun, and stated that he was eon vineed it was that which be had frequently seen in the posses sion of James Morgan, his late unfortunate under-gardener. The charge wee now ordered to be taken out of the gun by the Magistrate, when a piece of paper wadding which served to ram down the shot, was opened out, and exhibited the 111141 C of " Wat kins" legibly marked in print. (Berman now stepped forward and stated, that he had taken ' some pieces of paper from the prisoner's person, es well as from his late lodging, which, he said, be felt a desire to compare with the wadding taken out of the gun. One of the pieces of paper thus compared exactly corruporided with the piece of wadding in the place tom, and had printed upon it " Tobacconist," underneath the name of " Watkins." This circumstance, the Magistrate observed, was another strong feature in the charge against the prisoner, who was then fully com mitted to the next Assizes at Maidstone, for trial. for the wilful murder of James Morgan, and all the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. AGs Tf. Da M r.—Mary Creswell. of West Monck ton, near Taunton, was lately brought before the sitting Magistrate. charged with having violently assaulted Ben jamin Holberd, by horsewhipping him, and resetting goods which had been (listrained by him for rent; she was or dered to find sureties to answer an indictment at the Quar ter Sessions. EXTENSIVE SILK ROBBERV.—A few nights since, some fellows broke into the premises of Mr. Hale, N 0.9, Wood street, Spitslfiekls, and stole thereout a considerable quantity of raw and manufactured silk, of various descriptions, with which they got clear off. Information of the robbery has been given at all the public offices, with an accurate state ment of the property stolen, and a reward of SOl. has been offered by the Society for Protection of the Silk Trade, on prosecution of the offenders. Some persons have been taken up, who were suspected of being contented in the above, and other robberies, but owing to the laxity of persons in coining forward to further the investigation, the Magistrates were obliged to discharge them. The two individuals who stand charged with a ntisde meanur Gf the greatest magnitude at Windsor, were on Wednesday, after a private examination, held to bail to take their trial at the ensuing Quarter cssions. One of them, who gave his name, procured sufficient sureties from London, and was liberated; his coadjutor, a private in the Grenadier Guards, was committed to the Borough prison, in default of bail.—Brifisli Traveller. A man named Slang was committed on Tuesday to " Lincoln Castle, for an attempt to cut his wife's throat. In the Lewes house of Correction each prisoner em ployed on the tread-mill works at the rate of 6,600 feet in assent per day. Rue AWAY 1ir3111A1499.—1n consequence of the extraor dinary increase, in the parochial returns, of deserted fami lies, the churchwardens, oreracers, and other authorities of St. Clement Danes have conic to a resolution to give the utmost publicity, through the medium of newspapers and posting bills, to the names, residence, calling, and personal description of any man who shall in future desert his wife and children, so that they thereby become chargeable to the parish; and the same resolu:ion extends to persons burdening the public with illegitimate children, which have latterly become quite a tax on the metropolitan parishes. lloxac Dee 1.1 Nn.—A gentleman lately sent his servant with a valuable horse to a neighbouring fair. On the road be net a horse-dealer, and after some conversation, the hitter contrived to learn the servant's instructions from his master; which were to sell the animal lie rode at a certain price if he could, but at all events to buy another, whether he sold or not. This information being obtained, he began communicating th r good qualities of the horse he rude also, and recommendsd it strongly to the credulous ser vant, but at the same time observing its value exceeded his, 'nester's horse by 201. (which was just the reverse.) A little beer at the next public-house }wiped to make the bargain; saddles and bridlss were transferred, and 201. paid. John having discovered how easily he could dispose of his mas ter's cash, thought it Lard if he did not get a little of it into his own pocket, and accordingly he begs the worthy horse-merchant to give him a receipt for 2. SI.; saying " it's all as one—master waunt knew it Eut truth will discover itself,—the dealer thought it too good a trick to let it pass unknown: the writer beard him boast of it without the slightest sense of shame.—Dursee armsicle. An unfortunate accident occurred last week at Radcliff, on Trent, about five miles from Nottingham : a boat was proceeding to that town, on Wald of which, amongst other passengers, were a man and his son, a youth about 17 years of age, going to the fair with goods front York shire ; the young matt sat on the side of the vessel, then under a press of sail, when the mast fell upon his head, and it is supposed instantly killed him, as he fell over into the river, and never arose to the surface; neither had his body been found so late as on Tuthelay last. On Monday last, Mr. Bricknel, cller, of Chard, in a fit of temporary derangement, threw himself into Otte pond belonging to the lace manufactory. Some children, who were on the spot at the time, ran into the manufac tory to give an alarm. Assistance was immediately pro eared, and a rope thrown to Mr. ltrickncl; but he pushed it from hint, and sank to rise no more. Ile was imme diately taken out of the water and bled: the blood flowed profusely, but the vital ;park hail fied. A heart-rending occurrence took place at Pallas-Green on Wednesday ; the particulars are as fellow :—A man of: the name of Phelan having gone to view a steeple-cliase in that neighbourhood, left Iris wife and two children in his cabin behind him, and in some time afterwards his wife had occasion to proceed to a field quite convenient. in order to dig potatoes for dinner. The unhappy woman left her children (the cutest of whom was not four years old) alone in the house; and it is supposed that they contrived to set tire to wore straw or flax in it, for, on her return, she Ise held her cabin in flames, and, dismal to relate, one of her infants burned to a cinder, and the other was se dreadfully injured, that death terminated its sufferings h lon '-'y e yeuing,—Cloinsel Advertiser. THE BRITISH PRESS. GLASGOW Isue.l VERS. A spirited propriaor of one of the Mile-end cotton mills, who has made many improvements in cotton-spinning ma chinery, determined to make trial whether he had the ma nagement of his own mill or not, engaged twelve weaver lads, who were extremely willing to enter his employe in place of the old hands who are at present standing out against the proposed new regulations of the masters. In consequence, , a rumour got abroadl yesterday morning that the new hands had commenced work in the null in question, although none of them are as yet actually employed, but will be so as soon as the machinery is fit for working. A mob col lected early in the morning, who surrounded the mill for the purpose of intimidating the new workers. Having at length commenced a general attack on the mill, and broken a number of the windows by throwing stones, the Calton police were sent for, and a strong party under Captain Hamilton were instantly on the spot, who prevented any farther mischief from being perpetrated. Provost Steven son, of Calton, was promptly on the spot, and took the most efficient measures for present and future protection. This excellent Magistrate, on his arrival, firmly but mildly warned the people of the danger they incurred by thus tumultuously assembling, and the crowd in a great measure shortly after dispersed. The Procurator Fiscal was also of essential service on the occasion. A party of the Calton police guarded the mill during the day and last night; and a portion of the Glasgow police were in readiness to co-operate if their services were required. Extract of a letter from Belfast :—The operative spin ners from Glasgow have been turned away from this place with their fingers in their mouths. The operatives here will neither espouse their cause nor sympathise with them ; and all the toasters that 1 have seen declare that they will not on any account employ them, although in some eases they InOtt be benefited by their services.—Glargow Ch Amide. lAIRS, 4, At Corby fair, on Monday last, all torts of stock were very dear.—Slam ford Mercury. At Tunbridge monthly market on Tuesday, beef pro duced from Ss. to 45.; mutton from as. 6d. to 4s. 4d.; lamb from 4s. to is. • veal from 4 s. 641 to Ss. 441. ; and pork from 41.8 d. to ss. per stone of sibs.; sinking or giving the offal, to the butchers. . l'ilelksham market on Monday was largely supplied. Sales rather heavy, though a shade lower; beef 9s. to 10s. per score; mutton Sid. to bd. per lb.; lamb 60.; store pigs in demand, and limb. At Yarnborough Castle fair on Monday last, ewes ob tained from 16$. to 30s. ahead; wethers from 20s. to 325.; lambs from 12.. toi3s. There was a very twist trade at Huogerford sheep fair on Monday; lambs fetched from 131. to 265.; ewes from 21s. to 25.. _ At Rumford market, on Wednesday, beef fetched 2s. Bd. to 45.; mutton from 3s. 4d. to 44.; lamb from 41. to 4s. 10d. veal from 4s. to ss. rid. ; sud pork, for which thin market is celebrated, from 4s. to 51, per stone of tilbs. Store pigs were numerous, and heavy of sale at reduced prices. Prime young milch cows of the Suffolk breed, which, though good fur the pail, seldom exceed 70 stones each when fat, produced, with their young calf, from 141. to 161. each. At Billericay fair, prime lean Scotch and Welch runts fetched full 3s. per stone, calculating their weight when fat. Sheep and lambs too, of which there were not more than 300 penned, fully supported the prices of other gone by fairs. The rise in the price of stock of every description in Cardiganshire, Radnorshire, and Breconshire, has proved most beneficial to the bill farmers. Sheep, which two years agosold for 10s. or 1 la. per head, now fetch 18s. and gas., and the supply is scarcely equal to the demand for ' the English market. At Peterborough fair on Saturday haat there was a very large thew of beasts, which fuuud a ready sale at advanced prices. The pleasing prospect which seems to have re turned in agricultural affairs of all kinds, diffused a spirit and cheerfulness highly gratifying, particularly a- it is be lieved to be accompanied with similar activity and pros-' perity in the manufacturing and trailing districts. Wood I at this fair sold considerably better than at the former mart fur timber. Onions were 4s. a bushel.—The pleasure fair made an appearance of high life and spirits ; it abounded with gay and well-dressed visitors, both on Saturday and Monday. The "gentlemen" of the light-fingered and black-leg fraternity were not so active, or not in such full attendance as usual; the only instance of their particular success heard of, was in the case of a gentleman who lost his horse. A stranger went to an inn, and boldly called out " Hostler," Hostler ! bring my horse !" 'f he hostler, not suspicious of his customer, inadvertently took out a horse worth 401., on which the stranger mounted, and oft' he rode. When the right owner came, both horse and rider were some miles from Peterborough. At a long booth on rho green, a poor fellow outside, who had the dangerous curiosity to peep at the show through a hole in the blanket, met with a dreadful retaliation: some unfeeling person thrust a stick through the bole, and literally put out the poor fellow's eye.—Lincoln Mercury. Rarroao, OCT. 6.—The hop fair at this place, on Sa turday last, fully verified our last statement, wherein we observed that the hops had turned off very light in most of the plantations, for where 15 cwt. per acre was expected, only about 10 has been realised, so that the quantity brought into market was less than had been anticipattsl. The prices were from 81. los. to 101. for hope of this year's growth ; and for those of 1822, from 4/. 10s. to 5/. per cwt. Judges consider the hops of this year to be finer than those of 1822, and to be of a better quality generally. Large quan tities of Kent and Sussex hops were offered by sample ; the former from 61. to 61.61.; the latter from 51. 10s. to SI.; and they found purchasers to a large amount. In the horse fair good cattle were in high request, and realised high prices; whilst, as usual, bad ones were almost un saleable, at bad prices. Horned stock, especially those which were fat, fetched good prices. There was a large quantity of sheep shown, and we believe they generally hold at a considerable advance in price. Che, se was rather lower than had been expected; most of the best dairies were brought up; the prices were from 60s. to 635. and 665. per cwt. It would seem that the Knights of the Ca ravan have become extinct, as the good people of Retfurd were not treated with even a single show : the fair, how ever, was not totally destitute of a species of vermin, which, in the improved phraseology of the day, are denominated " sleight-of-hand operators." This fraternity exercised their professional abilities to the lightening of the pockets of certain of the good folk of the neighbourhood, and led many to regret that the pillory is not now productive of the wholesome terror which used to be inspired by it a few years ago, when it was a standing admonition to good morals in mast of the market-towns of England. 110 P INTELLIGENCE. WORCESTER, Oct. G.---On Saturday last 1,994 New Pockets and three Old were weighed in our market, and much business has been done since that day ; the trade is very brisk, and samples do not remain long on the planters' bands ; another advance has taken place ; New Pockets average 61. to 71. 15a. and fine 81. The picking may now Ice considered as concluded ; the produce of our planta tion is certainly short of what It was estimated at ; the planters in our immediate neighbourhood have been very fortunate, but in lowly parts of Herefordshire the growth is very trifling; u a proof at this we may mention, that on Saturday one waggon brought to market eighteen pucki..4 ‘ being the whole produce of eight estates in I leretiwilahire. Our duty, it is now thought, will not go beyond 11,00 W. Under these circumstances, there does not appear soy present prospect of lower prices. Good 1822 s average H. to rd. 18s. lrosces:er Journal. On Monday morning last, a servant of the Rev. J. L. Saville, of Folwinstowe, fell a victim to the imprudent custom of riding on the shafts of a waggon: he was re turning from RettOrd Fair with a load of hops, and when a mile on the road, between Tu::ford aod Newark, fell, supposed to be asleep : the wheels passed over him, and killed hint on the spot.—Lincoln Paper. 1)n Thursday the workmen began to Afaeallanaize the' wide roadway from Charing-croas to Parliament-street.

Parmsraraxisn..—The match from Hyde-park to the 44th mile-stone, between Reading and Straddeldsaye, on the Basing. stoke road, and back again, computed at something under 80 miles, was undertaken by Mr. Jenkineon, the pedestrian, at four o'clock on Ni'ednestisty morning, choosing the nearest track to the 44th stone, which is, however, a modes ate. He took the Oallangham road, and when within three miles of Reading, he turned sharp to the left, guided by his umpire through Shinfield, saving nearly five miles by his route. He performed this distance in ten hours, the weather being much against him ; and he made his first stop, on his return, at Oaklnghaen, and reached Bracknell (28 miles from London) at ten o'clock at night. He proceeded through a tremendous rain to Staines, where he remained dead beaten, only sixteen miles from his journey's end, at twelve o'clock, when he took post-chaise for London. It was generally supposed that he was beaten by the weather, end he was backed for double the present stake, 200 sovereigns, to go the above distance within four teen days at which period he cannot anticipate better weather. Capt. S mith, of Cheam, Berke, was his guide and umpire. FORTY-TIGHT MILES I Nitre 111011111 L—Mr. West, the pedestrian, backed himself to go from the top of Sloane-street to the Bmckinghamslitre foot of Blaidenhead Bridge, and back to half al mile on the London side of Hammersmith. The start took place after the clock had struck twelve on Thursday night, for a wager of one hundred sovereigns, and twenty more that it was done in twenty minutes within the given time. ta l c ': p edestrian reached Slough (20 miles) in three hoofs, and half the distance in four hours and ten minutes. He returned back to the Half-way House on the 51aidenliesd side of Colnbrook, ate a hearty breakage, and left himself something less than 18 miles in four hours. He did the first tub with 11 minutes to spare, and of course lost the second. ----- MEETINGS OF CREDITORS AT TIM ***** IIPTIO COO/T, amiscuaLL•sTatis, THU DAY. THIRD XE!TINOS. Jowls, T.
