LONDON SWS SION3, Cumm Aram 22. Ara 22.
field before the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, Me
Racoeoee, and a very numerous Bench of Al-
dermen.
Wiiiiam Lewis and Samuel Raw/, the former a
printer, living in Paternoster-row, and the latter a
constable, were inditled for that they, on the 16 h
of Otiober List, did, contrary to law, assault and
imprison George Johnson, who was an apprentice
to the said William Lewis,
The COMMON SERJ CANT, in a very able speech,
addressed the Jury, and represented to them, that
it depended on their vertlia, not only whether a
person in the City of London, having an appren-
tice, were at liberty, at any time, without the order
of a Magistrate, to send him on board a tender;
but whether, as in the present instance, he might
send him there, direttly in opposition to the orders
of the Magistrate? He then stated, that the Pro-
secutor had lodged a complaint against his Master
before the CHAMBERLAIN ; the consequence of
which was, that both parties were reprimanded,
and Mr. Lewis was ordered to take the boy home,
and treat him better. Instead of doing this, he
seized him by the collar the moment he got him
out of Court, and, with the assistance of Russel,
conveyed him on board a tender, from which place
he was sent to the Nore, and confined fur upwards
of six weeks.
The Recessing* said, he had before advised that
this business should be settled, and still wished
something to be done, as it was a case between
master and servant, which, he thought, more im-
mediately belonged to the Chamberlain's Court.
Mr. KN A PP. as Counsel for the Defendants,
stated, that he had every wish to settle the matter
without troubling the Court; but that the sum dt-
mended by the Prosecutor as satisfatlion was in-
finitely beyond what his clients were able to pay.
Captain Thomas Richbald deposed, that, on the
16th of (Moller, the Defendant Russel, and ano-
ther person, whom he did not recollcil, came on
board, and delivered George Johnson to him as a
landsman. Russel, whom he knew to be a con-
stable, told him the boy was an apprentice, and had
been sent on board by order of the Loco MAYOR.
The same evening he was sent down to the Nure.
William Somerville, the Lieutenant on board the
tender, gave the same evidence.
Mr. Bowden, Clerk in the Chamberlain's Office,
London, produced the book, where the complaints
of masters and servants were entered, from which
it appeared, that on the 16th of Ottober, George
Johnson, apprentice, complained of William Lewis,
his maaq, for not allowing him a sufficient main-
tenance. Ihe answer of Lewis to this charge was,
that be had allowed him I ss. a week ; that he was
idle, and did not attend to his business.
The Cu a \tar RiAtel admonished both, and desir-
ed the boy to be mite attentive, and the master to
take hi; apprentice home and treat him better.
George Johnson said. that as soon as lie came
nut of the Chamberlain's Office, his master collar-
ed him, and brought him into Guildhall-yard, and
asked a Constable of the name of Rigby to take him
on board a tender; which Rigby refusing, his mas-
ter took him down die street, and in a few minutes
after met Ruined. and asked him if he vrould take
him on board a tender ? Russel said he would, if he
gave him into his charge, which lie accordingly did.
They then carried him down through bye ways,
•aill they got him into Thames-street, where they
'stopped at a public-house and wrote something.
They then carried him on board a boat at Tower
Wharf, and took him to the tender. Russel chewed
the paper he had written to the officer, and he was
locked down that night and sent next day to the
Nore, where he remained until the 29:h of Novem-
ber. He was then discharged by order of the
Board of Admiralty, he being an apprentice.
Edward Rigby, constable, on the 16. h of Otlober.
saw Lewis holding the Prosecutor by the collar, in
Guildhall-yard. Lewis asked him to take him on
board a tender, which he refused, and said it would
be better for him to take him home, and give him
something to eat.
William Hart, father-in-law to the Prosecutor,
said, he followed him and the Defendants, and saw
them go on board the boat. He remonstrated with
them, but Russel said he had a right, and would
do it.
Eli iha Crab, a Jew constable, deposed, that Rus-
sel sent him to the tender to receive the twenty shil-
lings bounty for bringieg a landsman on board, but
he did not get it.
The RECORDER rammed up the evidence, and the
Jury immediately brought in a verdiEl—Gertay.
The RICORDEN then, with a Yr.y impressive ad-
monition, sentenced the Defendants, William Lewis
and Samuel Russel, to pay One Shilling Fine, and
be Imprisoned Six Weeks in Giltspur-street Compter.
Samuel Howard, Ann Robinson, and Ann Robinson,
her daughter, were found (ull!, of an assault on
Sarah Jones, a child of 12 years of age. It appear-
ed that the Defendants had met the child on twelfth
night, and had beaten her in so violent a manner.
that she was confined for some days in consequence
of it.
The RECORDER relished the judgment until a
cause now depending in the Crown Court between
the parties should be determined.
Mr. John Azov was brought up to be discharged
under the late Insolvent An. He bad been charged
prior to the Ist of January. 1804, with more than
1,5001. the sum limited by the Ad ; but one cre-
ditor, who had proved his debt, signed the certifi-
cate, and discharged his attion. which redaeed the
debts against the bankrupt within the compass of
the aft. The debt allude.) to had been proved un-
der the commission, in 1803; but, from some diffi-
culty which arose in the affairs of the Creditor's
house, he had not signed the certificate till after the
Ist of January, Ibo 4. Another person had, by
mistake, charged Mr. King in execution twice with
the same sum, and that mistake being corretcted, re-
duced his debt in proportion.
The RECORDER doubted of his having competent
power to order his discharge under theme circum-
stances.
Mr. Baalow, Mr. Snare, and Mr. AGAR, are
gued in behalf of the application, but without diet.
Mr. King then rose, and wished to knoss, who.
ther lie might be permitted to address the Court ?
and, being answered in the affirmative, he said,
s. That the Gentleman who signed the certificate
would have done so within the time mouthed, d

•
his affairs had not been in an embarrassed state.
and vested for some time in the hands of trustees ;
but that as soon as a proper person was de-
puted, who had power to do sn, the certificate
was signed. It was hard, he said, that he should
suffer for an inability which was out of his power
to prev-nt, and stated, that he had persons present
who c‘oilil prove the cred tor would have sig..ed
the certificate before, had he been enabled to do
so. However, if the Recorder was so determined
in his opinion, that it could not be shaken, he would
not obtrude any further."
The Rccoa pea wished Mr. King to state his case
to the Court of King's Bench, to learn how the
point ought to be construed, and proposed to adjourn
the decision till that was done.

Mr. King represented the great expence he was
put to in various ways, but agreed to submit the
point for the opinion of the Court of King's Bmch.
There was no opposition on the part of any of the
Creditors of Mr. King.

DREADFUL FIRE at BOW, in MIDDLESEX.

(FARTHER PARTICULARS.)
About nine o'clock on Sunday night the fire was
first discovered, bursting through the window, of
one of the malt-houses on the north end of the ex.

tensive range of malt-houses and mills belonging to
Messrs. John and Charles Millwood. In a very

short time the adjoining mill, and every article ap-
pertaining to it, were consumed. Soon after the fiat
engine began to play, but without the lea,: effea ; and
so tremendous were the blaze, and exi_ess:ve the heat,
the firemen were obliged to shift their quarter.,
and, with much difficulty, got the engine over a
wooden bridge, which was conflated with the pre-
mises : scarcely had this been effeeed, when the
whole range of malt houses and mills, together with
the out.housel, offices, &c. were in a blaze, and the
flour and grain burned with astonishing Eery. In
less than three hours, every part of the concerns
was consumed to the very foundation, consisting
of four flour mills, malt-houses of six and seven
floors, containing upwards of 2,000 sacks of flour,
and a considerable quantity of wheat, rye, and
other grain; two barges, which lay in the River
Lea, adjoining the premises, one of them laden
with wheat, were consumed : the tide being out,
they lay high and dry upon the bank. A strong
easterly wind set in the greater part of the time, and
the tremendous blaze was carried through the win-
dows of the malt-house, to the compting house,
and the dwelling-house of the miller, Mr. Brook-
man, which were separate buildings, at the least 20
feet distant from the malt-houses, where the fire first
commenced. The compting-house, with all the
books, papers, &c. in a few moments fell in ruins,
immediately after the dwelling house shared the
same fate; but, fortunately, the Miller had time to
remove the greater part of his furniture. About
eleven o'clock most of the fire engines of London
had arrived, and every possible exertion was made
by the firemen, assisted by a great number of the
inhabitants of Bow, Bromley, Stratford, and the
snrroanding neighbourhood, without the least et-
feet. By this time, the attention was called to a
most alanuirg subjee: the flames were fast ap-
proaching the adjacent distillery, belonging to
Messrs. Hatchard, Cr?,o7 Smith, and Co, and in-
evitable destruffion must have followed, not only
to buildings in the neighbourhood, but to a great
number of individuals who were on the ,pot, from
the 1::e commut.icating with the spirits, of which
there was a great quantity in the stores. All hands
were now called to this quarter, and, by the most
persevering exertions, in constantly playing upon
the party wall, and keeping it completely wet, the
flames were prevented from spreading to these con-
cerns. By one o'clock; yesterday morning, the root,
walls, &c. of the malt-houses and mills fell in, and
not till then was the fite got under, nor were ap-
prehensions dissipated with respect to the distillery.
For several hours after, this mass of rain continued
to blaze with great fury, and even late last night
some parts of it were still burning. Every fear of
further danger, however, was over. The whole
place exhibits a most terrific and melancholy scene ;
a few tottering walls remain standing ; in the inside
of which, wheat, flour, timber, brick, Om are
promiscunusly mingled together, in one great heap
of confusion ; the large beams, half consumed, lay
still smoaking, and scarcely a vestige of the mill.
wheels are to be seen ; the iron-work scattered
about in various direftions, and where the barges
lay, the river is covered with burned planks, corn,
&c. to a considerable extent.
We have much satisfaction in stating that no per-
son whatever received the smallest personal injury,
except one man, who was bruised in the hand by the
falling of a beam. The premises, we understand,
were insured, but a great nart of the stock was n
The former belonged to Messrs. Hatchard and Co.
and were rented from them by Messrs. Millwood
The road from Mil.'-end to Bow was cove-ed with
people the whole of yesterday, going to view the
dreadful devastation which htd been committed.
A number of boys and persons of the lower class
were occupied in carrying away quantities of the
arum and grain in handkerchiefs, bags, &c. which
they colleted from among the ruins. It is sup-
posed a small portion of the stock, which is under-
neath;may still be saved from amongst the rubbish;
hut property to a very considerable amount mutt
inevitably have been lost.
No certain cause can be assigned for the accident;
but it is generally imagined it arose from the heat-
ing of the wheels in the mill. The premises had been
shot up, and no work whatever done from three
o'clock that afternoon.

Lieutenant Colonel BRICKDALS, of the regiment
of Hibernia, in the Spanish service, a native of
Spain, and of a respeftable English family, has been
arrested is the neighbourhood of Ferrol, and thrown
into prison. The only charge Against this Gentle-
man is, that he had been lately in this country.
We have been favoured with the perusal of a let-
ter from Lisbon, which inclines us to doubt the
truth of JERONIi BON A P ART L'S arrival there from
America. This letter says, you will no doubt
bear by the Mail that JEkONIt Bor.*? ARTZ and the
.soung Person are arrived here, for so it is reported ;
however, from all the enquiries I have made on the
subjc4.l. I have reason to think that the vasty has
originated ftorn Mr. PITT CRSON (Janos+ es father-
in.law) having arrived on board of a vessel of* im

One fa& is worth a thousand arguments. Is it
not a peremptory faa, that numerous individuals
annually rise to opulence and independence through
the medium of a Lottery ? And is it not a faa
equally indisputable, that the present Scheme con-
tains more Capital Prizes and greater in value, in
proportion to its small number of lickets, than any
preceding one in the annals of Fortune's Whe.:l
Finally, is it not a notorious het, that nearly two
