Pariah, accompanied by a Man; repaired to the place, and
found the servant's suspicions well grounded, a man being
there. They immured of him what he was doing there? to
which be could give nu rational answer, but arknowletiged
that his conduct was the act of a madman. When lie was
got out, he was found to be armed with • sharp knife, and
from an Mem igation of his conduct and other circum-
stances, his object is strongly sosperted to have been of a
moat diabolical nature. He bad beers seen near the premises,
and it was sopposed he had been in the privy a number of
hours. He was taken before Mr. Clithero, • Magistrate, who
resides in that part of the country, when the case being inch
a very extraordinary one, he ordered him to be brought
to the above Office, when he underwent an examination be.
fore Mr. Birnie; and yesterday morning he was examined
again before the same Magistrate and Mr. Hicks, when Mr.
Clithero and a Nobleman who resides near there attended,
and upon ad investigation it turned out that the Plainer
had been in other privies belonging to female boarding-
schools. He said .his name was Richard Ravening, hist by
• paper found nu hiss, it proved that his name was Tenter,
and that lie wan • discharged sailor from the ship Carlisl..
He was convicted, and committed as a rogue amid vagabnd.
