th s town, any such Tea,
Jan. 25. LaS w:ek four men belonging to
Marblehead were lofpefted by feme circumQan
ces io their Behaviour, of having a design cf
Ettcmptiog to fteai a quantity of c'oathiog from
the Fff.x hospital ; they were accard'.ng'y
watched ; and on Wednefdav Night last, on
their Return froa the 1(1 ^d, were purf-ued and
taken. It appeared that they had picked up a
Quantity of Cloathing, near the Ho pita!, that
was put out for airing ; But, on their Ru'urn
to the Town, finding thcmfclves pursued by
.several Boats, threw a cosfiderable Part of it
overboard. Their Persons beirg kcured till
the next Day, Thurfday^ a large Body of Mobi
lity affembltd ; when it was determined, by a
great Majority, that the Mode of Puniftment
fhonld be Tarring and Feathering.-* —lo C >n
lequence of this Determination, the most extra
ordinary Exhibition of the Kind, ever seen in
North-America, was drawn forth to public
* V.ew. The Procession formed, on Thorfday
Morning, at the Town House in Marblehead.
The four Obj ft; of Referftment were pheed in
aG.rt, faceiog each other haring been prevr
oufly tarred and feathered in the t modern Way.
A Fifer and one Drummer were placed in the
Frost of the Carriage, which, according to the
Computation of lorn: Persons, war preceded by
one thousand People,chiefly drifted in Uniform,
among whom were four Drummtrs.
In this Manner they marched from Msrb'e
head to Salem, four Miles and a half and en
toed the Town about 12 o’clock'. Here form
itg a Junftioo with a oumrrous Bady the In
habitants, they paraded through the principal
Streets, with Drums beating, a Fife p’ayiog and
« large white Flag flying from the Cart, which
with the exquifiicly droll and grotefqie Appcar
airce of Übe four tarred snl feathered Objcftr of
Dcr'Gon, exhibited a very laughab'e *nd truly
comic fcece. They went out of town before
one o’clock, and returned to Marblehead where
they dispersed.
We hear that another Mao, on Account of
G^e exccptionableCocduft rdpefling theSmsll
pOK, was tarred and festhered hfl Friday Night,
at Marblebead, but we hare no particular ac
count of his crime.
