DEATH OF BURNS' FRIEND, , SU'S'OR JOHNNIE." TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING COURANT. Ayr, 24th July, 1819. SIR—No circumstance with which the memory of BURNS is associated can be uninteresting to this admiring country. lam 'perinadea, therefore, you will not grudge a corner of your excellent paper to record the death of an humble individual, who is, however, destined to immortal remem brance, along with the exquisite poeraitr which he isintroduced But to our tale.—Ae winter night Tam had got planted unto Fast by an logic bleezing finely, Wi' reaming swats that drank divinely, And at his elbow " Swroa JOliN NI E." • His ancient, trusty, droughtie cronie ; Tam lo'ed him like a vera brit her, They had been fou for weeks tltegither ; The Sutor tauld his queerest stories, The landlord's laugh was ready chorus l.Sce. The person thus humorously described, was John Lauchlan, shoemaker in Ayr, being known as an intelligent, lively, and facetious companion. When the weight of years deprived him of the re sources of industry, and having no relatives in a condition to provide a home and a pillow of ease for the decline of his life, he retired to a charitable institution. There, however, he only slept. The kindness of many friends supplied him with all the other comforts his age and infirmities required; and his son, now grown up, would have taken him home, but be was contented as he was, and knew that his " auld banes," would soon be removed where they would give no pain to himself nor trouble to his friends. On Wednesday last, he was carried to Alloway Church-yard, about three miles from Ayr, attended by about fifty respect able inhabitants of the town, and buried a few graves from that of the venerable taller of our Poet. The cottage where Burns was born is si tuated about a gun-shot from Alloway Church ; and many who have since visited that interesting spot have asked, with no common interest, for the grave of " Sutor Johnnie." For more than twenty years past, crowds from all quarters and countries have visited Burn's native cottage, and the scene of Tam O'Shanter ; and such has been their eagerness to possess some relic, that they have not left an inch of the " roof and rafters," or any other part of the wood-work of " Kirk Alloway." I myself was forced to be contented, at the 'expellee of a blistered hand, and with a bad pen-knife, to cut a slice from the tree that spreads its branches over the consecrated I may mention, that the first notice I got of the death of Tam's boon companion, %vas from a respectable person ou the top of the Ayr coach, who exclaimed, without any previous conversa tion, and in a tone of regret. " I . should hae gane yesterday to the burial o' "ptiir Stator Johnnie." J. DIABOLICAL. ACTS.-Between eight and nine o'clock on Thursday evening, some villains fired 61 loaded musket into the windows of the back parlour of Mrs. Wares, No. 4, Grove-place, Cam den Town, and shattered sixteen panes of glass to pieces, and lodged three grains in Mrs. Wares' right shoulder, as she was leaving the room. The shot was extracted from Mrs. Wares's arm without doing her any material injury. No cause can be assigned. for the villainous act. — On Wednesday night, about a quarter past eight o'clock, Mr. M‘Donald, Surgeon, residing at . No. 18, Nelson-street, Stoke Newington, wept into the surgery, where he was compounding medicines, when some ruffian fired at him from the back fields, but fortunately the ball struck against the window'sash, near the bottom. Mr. M'llonald was standing close to the window, and had the ball been half an inch higher it would undoubtedly have hit him, and probably killed him upon the spot. SEDITIOUS PLACAIiDS. MANSION-HOUSE. BISFORR THU LORD MAYOR. In consequence of the Seditious Placards which, for some time past, have been posted up by some persons Unknown, and by. night, in and about London, Westminster, and the Borough of Southwark, the Mansion-i-kuse Police Officers were ordered to be on the alert to discover if pOssible the Printers or other persons in strumenial to the promulgation of those inflam matory, publications. A posting bill was on Thursday morning stuck up on the walls of the Mansion House, which, in allusion to the recent occurrences at Manchester, called on the people in terms such as these : "7o ARMS ! and revenge the murder of yourfellow-citi zeo, butchered by the Military at Manchester." A large broadside posting-bill •was also pla carded in various parts of town, announcing the Meeting propoaed.to be held at Kennington Com mon, on Monday next, a day oi l the week long chosen for sedition and tumult by Hunt and his ragged and dangerous crew of disciples, and me morable for the rebellious outrages of the Spa fields Convention, because that is the day usually devbted to idleness and intoxication, by the drunken, profligate, and disorderly, among the labouring classes of the metropolis and its su burbs, when the preachers of sedition are sure to find a crowded auditory, ready to imbibe their political poison, and support their rebellions ef forts, should a favourable opportunity be afforded them, by the lenity or the lassitude of those whose duty, and we are happy to - add, whose de termination, it is to put down by yigour.,the daring spirit of sedition. The Meeting on Kennington Common, on Mon day, was alleged to be forthe discussion of Reli gious and Political. Freedom, Parliamentary Re form, &c. &c. The placard called upon all the Friends of Freedom to follow the example of their fellow-citizens it Manchester and Other manufac turing districts in the North'; and as an additional inducement, it announced that Hunt would take the Chair. To this placard was annexed the name of William Harris, as printer,; and this man was found, after minute inquiry,. to be a journeyman Printer, in the employment of a master printer named Cunninghan. Harris was yesterday taken into custody, and being brought, up for examination, he underwent a long interroga tory befOre the LORD: MAYOR, to which he an swered with great apparent candour and fair- ness. • - - As the statements which he made throw a consi derable light upon the miserable situation in Which the pretended Committee of Two Hundred ire, and spew what contemptible leaders the Ra dical Reformers act under, we shall be sorriewhat . particular in detailing the questions and . answers in the course of this examination. Harris I delivered in a copy of the bill, and in answer. to the question by whom he was ern, pinyea to print it, he said he was employed by one Dennis Shaw, btit that the paper was not in ShaWs hand-writing. The 140 . 41:0 MAYOR. —What were you to be paid for printing these bills 2 . —Thirteen shillings a hundred. Flow many have you printed ?—rive hun ched. He employed you 3 who paid you ?-111r.Shaw, at tour different times, by instalments ; he paid one 12s. 6d. first, about 16s. on Monday morn ing, and a third sum afterwards, and the balance on Wednesday night. Do you happen to know what Shaw is ?—He is e shoemaker, Sir. Does he keep a shop ?—No, Sir. • Is he a housekeeper ?—Yes, in Francis-street, Westminster-road, No. 4. Do you understand what Committee he h au thorised to sign " by order of ?"-1 do not. Have you made any inquiry into that fact ? No, Sir, I have known him a very short time ; a friend recommended me so Mr. Shaw last . Wed nesday week ; I went to him to give a copy of the proofs, that is all I had to do with it ; re ceiving orders for carrying proofs out, and receiv ing the money, that is all I had to do with it. You were recommended by a friend of yours ? Yes, Mr. Webb. What is he ?—A shoemaker, in Kent-street. Is your press duly entered ?—No, Sir, I have not a press, I am a journeyman printer out of employ; my master lent me his press, and it was set up with his type ; and he requested we to put my own name to it. You put your name by your master's request ? what is his name?—Cunningham. Where does lie live ?—Shoe-lanc. Was he aware of your using his press and fix ing your name thereto !—Yes, I could not have access to them, without his leave. Was any reason asigned why you were to put your name to it ?-I.le only said he had rather I would put my name fo it. Was there any reason assigned why ?—Yes, Sir, the reason assigned to me was, that he had had some dealings With them; they had not paid him, and that he did not wish it to be known that he had any thing to do with them ; be bud done sonic bills for some of the Committee, and had not been • paid ; that was the'principal reason he assigned. I suppose be thought they would in preference, pay you as a poor man ?—YeS, Sir, I would not, let-them have the bills till they paid a part. You received the instalments for printing the bills ?—Yes, In fact neither the paper, the type, nor even, the ink, was your own Sir, when I receiv ed t h e order ' , had not one. penny in the world.
