KIDNAPPING.-7--The 'following story, is related in a Philadelphia Paper,upon:the. authority, of one. whom the Editor considers as it-person of veracity.. The. date. of- the event early Four villains, two.:white... and two mulattoes, overtook a couple of young white lads, about four teen years. of age, on ..the road, whoip they seized, carried into the., woods, gagged in - a most shocking manner, shaved their heads,, and.bouudthem. with, cords, after..w,hich the viilainswent about a mile , further to a tavern, foil: the purpose of taking break_ fist; During their absence, the eldest boy (son of Mi.- John Read, a . *reSpedable..fartner),. was so for- . tUnate.as. to get hiMself loose, and proceeded ho,me,. with his mouth shockingly lacerated with the gag. The tleighbourhood were direly alarmed, and the other boy recovered ; but the. villains escaped, ex.._ cept one,' who was seized and committed... This event, so extraordinary ; excited the greatest alarm in the Counly, and. the people of thatjteighbour hood had turned, out with :arms, to endeavour to overtake:l . lle fugitiVe villains." A person, who at last said he, had lately been a waiter at 'the Mount Coffee-house, was examined at Union Hall on Thprsday,.On a . chorge of attempt ing, to pick a centleman's pocket ) of which it ap peared he liad'heen guilry.

AND A SPECIAL JUki: THE" ICING v. HOOK. SMUGGLING. • Mr.Serjeant SitEi , FiEl6 Stated that this was an Inforniation against a persOn of the name of Richard Hook, for assaulting a Revende arid rescu:. ing goods he had seized. • The Officer-and com panion had completed the seizure of thirteen - mks,. arid the spitits,• when a little girl Who'had observed them, .ran to a . public housei -- wlre there wcie IV& SninggierS, one of whom Was the De: fendant. lip Orr her giving- the alarm they came • out, - ,and 'insisted o.le - goods should not be carried, One of the Officers drew a pistol, and said they w'ould both stanch .on their defence. The Sinurrglers - said they would have' the spiritt ; that as there were bitt two Olcers, - they Could hill btii two, and then the rest', would certainly- murder them. The—Defendant offered to let the. Ofileirs have five the caskg, hut they insisted upon the whole. He purposed they should _arm" themselves witlilarge stones. The QiiicerS, not being-able to get any assistance,. were obliged to 'leave the goods in . .possession of the'.Smugglers. This was the case ;and though there had been no personal assault, yet it=_was an 'offence which deserved severe punish: meet ;:for whether the goods were rescued by force or by threats; the ,c - onsequence to the Public was precisely the same, _by the injury done to the Revenue. _Thomas Woodhouse said, that on the 2lst of March last he' was supervisor of. the Ekcise in this County : on the morning of that day he seized thirteen casks. of spirits, on the premises' of. one Richard Spitleis, ; he, tasted, and found it was foreign Geneva. There ,was a young , woman, - who. ran off to a public house, and as he was going with a cart to take away the goods, he saw the Smug, &ergs coming down, armed with sticks and stones ; they were-five in number, .and the . . Defendant' was one ; they used imprecations, and swore the goods should , not. be taken away. Hook - attempted. ,to. comproinise the matter, and offered: first three, and . then five tubs; but finding the offer, was not accept ed, he sent to the public house , for the horses; 'and; ,the Smugglers were proceeding to load them... The Witness said he would certainly shoot the first man who attempted to load the gotids '; however, he forbote , firing.. The Smugglers 'armed. themselves with large, flint Stones, and. succeeded in forcibly carrying .off the gonds. Mr: Setjeant BEST said, he did not feel himself cal able of resisting this evidence but there were circumstances of mitigation which he should lay before ihe Court when the Defendant was brought. up for judoznt.--- The Defendant was found Guilty. • , THE JUNG v. WARD. Mr. Seijeant SAEPHERD said, that •this was Oso an. Information for -asi. , aulting ,an Officer of the name' *of John Neville: The . circunhtances were, these the Prosecutor was, on. the 3d. horseback at fast Peckham;- when, he obs:ecved the, Defendant passing by, leading. a .horse. went up,. and desired him.ta. stop.. The Defendant, who had a large club stick in his hand, swore he would not; and he immediately followed up this declaration by• striking him a violent blow.-- Neville seized the bridle of . his horse, and the Defendant again struck ,hith a severe blow; alter : which he took up several large stones and threw at hitn--one of them hit .Neville's horse, and he fell down.'. 'Fortunately a Farmer who had. seen the, whole affair, ran up to his assistance. Neville was so extreniely ill from the blows he ,had received, that he was obliged to be carried home, and he was • corikied fora considerable tithe to his bed. It was for this aggravated Assault- the presen► Prosecution bad been instituted. John— Neyille's evidence entirely corrdborated the above statement. He 'added, that iyhen - he had warded off one of the blows, the Defendant d—d him, and said if it had not been for. his arm, he should have done for him then. This. evidence was Confirmed by the Farmer, who had observed the transaaign.- . . . . .. . . Mr. Berjeant BEST said he should not, in this Case' trouble the Jury with any. defence ; but should submit to the Court hereafter what he had. to -offer in his favour. He was accordingly found. Guilty. ' , EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CARLOW,.
