Last week three soldiers attempted to steal some faggots froiiia Stack
belonging to a man of the name of Jones, who keeps the turnpke7ete at
Hythe, on the Ashford road ; the family had lust retired w bed; hear-
ing a noise and suspecting the cause from their having received a simi-
lar visit the night before, the man, his wife, and son, put on their great
coats, and went out, a. scuffle immediately ensued. Jones and his son
were knocked down by the soldiers, when the woman attacked, one of
them, and falling with him into a ditch, broke her kg ; the man et.dea-
voured to get off, but she held him firm with one hand, and supported
the broken leg with the other, till a traveller passing near, and alarmed
by the noise, came to her assistance, when he was secured, and taken
into cuaiody by the Staff Corps guard ; the other two escap(d.
A Manchester Paper, after mentioning the burning of the factory al
West Houghton, on the 24th ult. adds—" It was known that 11.411
other factories and mills were to meet the same fate, and the lives of
many respectable persons were threatened. By a well-conceived pro-
ject, judiciously executed, their secret meetings were dashed into, their
private signals obtai ed, and their nocturnal assemblies put into coot'''.
sion, their papers seized, t!riti a large number of ringleaders (together
with a person they called General Lucid who administered the oath.)
secured, and sent to Lancaster Castle."
On Sunday week, Mr. Oldknow, a man very much respected in the
town of Nottingham, during the absence of his wife from home at
church, destroyed two of his children, one aged five years, the other only
nine months, by cutting their throats, after. which 'he put a period to his
own existence with a pistol. The cause of this rash act is attributed
to the extreme pressure of the times, L.nd the greet stagnation of trade.
!One hundred prisoners are at present in Lancaster Gaol for rioting.
Their trials will take place immediately, a Special Commission being
now in preparation.
A Roman coin was lately ficund, wedged between the teeth of a ha,
man skeleton dug up at Aldborough, in Yorkshire. It has"been since
ascertained, that the coin was. an obolus, to pay ifild Chas-U/o.or ferrying
the deceased over the river Styx.
There is, within two miles of this town, a young wornayt, who has
lived during the last three years, without theat,lartsid, or any solid arti-
cles of food. She anbsists entirely on a little wine and Milk. It is re-
markable, that she throws up every day a large quantity of blodd. She
is unable to move, having long lost every particle of flesh ; but she appears
nearly in the same situation as she was three years ago.—(Resoling
Mercury).
