Which sailed on Friday last, supposed for

counted ior in another way—It is said, that
she was brought to off the Texel by our

Judge, the convict and murderer.
Oil Thursday l»st a perron who has pcssed
in litis town by the name of 'J'Aeirna Henry,
was apprehended, on suspicion ol iinvint; sto
leti two cbests of tea, candles and other articles,
from the store of Mr. Liddell, and.the uuci on
room of Messrs. C. 3: II. I Ml fk C o. and on In >
lefu
being brought before the magis:i'*'e*, i
sed t-i give any account whatever of h r.tsclf, cr
i.val oi
to inform them vvlu-re he ha-1 got : -
tea, which he had sent to Mr. Reynolds* auc
tion room forsalc. His silence, a--.il su'picions
behaviour, together with other circninstances
induced the magistrates to commit Mm for
further examination ; and on the- following day
he was brought before them, and underwent
another evamitvitii n : but his artful and guard
tied manner, did not permit them to obtain
much satisfaction fiotn tlic-ir it.quiries. l'cr
tiinately, however, the detection of fraud was
to be eifecied by other means, than through
the rogue himself; and on a diligent enquiry
it appeared, that, besides the lea which he had
sent to Mr. Ib vnolds'auction room, he lud
sent a quantity of kerseymeres of a particular
k'ml to another auction loom, ami li d also
sold two boxes of candles to a person keeping
a shop in this town. The ker eymeres cor
responded in quality and colour with other
pieces of the same stud' in the possession of
Messrs. Hills'; and the two boxes of candles,
sold by him, appeared to be those which were
stolen: but the marks on the boxes were artful
ly iltfi'ct'.
As neither the store, nnt auction room had
been broken open, it was suspectedthat he must
have used keys; and on a careful search being
made in his work shop, several keys were found,
some ol them, though very row
atlc, arc
,,t
t:
yet ingeniously contrived. The passages for
the ward- arc very large, and calculated with
a little alteration, to open locks with ease.
One key was without any passages for the
wards, lull qtiice open ; and it is supposed tha:
he filled the open space with wax. and by turn
ing tl.c key in the lock, the resistance made to
the wax vvinfd discover the Walds of tlie lock.
arid then, vv tit the conttiv incc which he seems

Wood and Liber:y streets, which being in great
forwaidne -.s litlo-e in, y assist nier arrived, soon
communicated wr.li the adjoining bouses, and
in the ionise of two hours consumed four brick

Had tin re been one or two more engines, and

returning from Oreston to his regiment at Plymouth
Dock, in crossing near Catdown, owing to the dark

cipice of rear ICO leer. In his fali, however, he lodg
ed on jutting rock, what the quarry men call a licatq
about a third of ihe depth ,.-t the declivity. Being
rather stunned, he ima/ined lie w-as on solid ground,
rose to walk, and was inslam'v precipitated to the
bottom Dreadful as was this fall, i; did not deprive
him of the power of t. verting his v ice, and his cries
brought several persona from Oreston dock yard
to his assistance, and marvellous as it may appear, lie
was in a short time enabled to walk to bis quarters,

although the distance was near two miles. Contem
plating the frightful precipice dov.-n which lie fell, ltie
