Yesterday, Mr. Moseley, a Singers:, in the City.

alleged in defence of his comlua. that be bed n .1
struck 114 muter, but had merely lilted his hand to
defend himself. He also stated. that he was wit i•i-
strueled in his business, but kept to clean knives. shoes.
&c. with other work, disgraceful to him as the pul•il
of a surgeoe. His usage, in other iespeets, he de-
scribed to be s•o bad, that he ran away to serve in
the Navy, which he preferred to his master's we.
vice. The Complainant denial the assertions of
the appren; ice, an.l requested the Lull') MA vets to
punish him ; who, the b-tier to do sniff justice
to the parties. ordered them to attend a lu.th• r
heariog„ and to produce witnesses of their hell.-
viuur towards each other.

Shares in the present Grand Lottery, that h4i al.,
ready taken place, beyond ail prece 'ent at so early
a period, must be obvious to every adventurer; for,
as the first 5,000 Numbers will be entitled to 221.
each, consequently, every ticket purchased at the
present puce must prove an ablnicite gain of more
than Two Pounds each ficket, if drawn with a that
period, independent of the chance of all the great
Capital Prizes with which theeesent Rich Scheme
abounds. So seasonable a kilt it well worth the attn.
Lion of adventurers, who, in former Lotteries, hay*
&treed purchasing tin near the curnmencensent of
the drawing i and the low prizes being then only
