a violent breach bf the peace, after being '

an escape *arran was issm-d hv Mr. Aider
man Spooner directed to the Sergeant of the
corporation, accompanied with instructions
t'isummon a/iow comita’ua armed, and
t;»ke him ; it had been previously ascer.
. 'auied that lie would not surrender himself
quietly, and had pubiiclv threa enrd to be
the denth of several before his own life should
be taken ; and for this purpose had prepar
ed himself witn gun and bayonet and two
pistols Ater many attempts were made by
friendly pe i sons to ieason him into a sense
of duty, without » ffect. the posse, led by the
Sergeant proc. eded to his house—the front
beiog secured, tin v went through an alley
to the bark part, where he met hein pre
pared to k ll and be kdled —As soon as Mr
Jackson, the Sergeant, made his appearance
he levelled his gun and discharged it at
him, and also the two pistols. His hist shot
missed its object, but unfurtuna'ely s.ruck
the right hand of Mr. jam. « Heck who stood
next, and tore it in a shocking manner. —
j Immediately a number of guns loaded with
shot, were discharged at him, at the l ist
only of which he fell and was taken. He
was the same evening committed to prison.
It is believed, notwithstanding he received
in his head and body a number of large shot,
that he will recover. Mr Beck’s army has
been Amputated and he has been deprived
of his great mean of support to himself and
