HOCKING CASE -.-The unpleasant circumstance
at Graniham, to which we have alluded, has been thoroughly
inveatigated by the imigistrate•of the borough and those for
the parts of Kesteven, whose • united exertions in bringing

Castle, and two other persons are charged with misdemeanors,
one of wham has entered into recocrintances to appear at the

(who had lately established himself in the place, and was also
from Loudon), the parties all heed at • considerable distance
from Grantham, and were, comparatively speaking, strangers
to each others.
