APPREHENSION OF VAGRANTS
I? THE REGENT'S PARK.

The iithahitante of those houses contiguous to the
Negro's Park, in the parish of Mary le-bone, have of late
hien greatly annoyed by a nuisance which has fur a lour
time existed, caused by the assemblage of persons at the
brick-kilos which are ouw burning in the Park. The infinite
number of depredations which hive been committed on the
produce of the gardens belonging to houses in that
neighbourhood, mid the poultry having also suffered greatly
froth the nocttirnel excursions of such unwelcome visitor.,
induced the inhabitants to make a complaint. lu

Alitutlay night. On their arrival there they fumed by the
side of one of the kilns 13 wretches, who from their extreme
misery and wretchedness of appearance seemed hardly

surrounding a large quantity of beef which they had placed
on the kiln to hake, with a great number of potatoes, which,
from their appearance, seemed to be nearly in • state fit

unwillingness to accede to their mandate, which was to ac-
coinroy them to the watch-house, pert ailed through the
whole assembly : the officers, however. signifies' their
tuteu-
tnat. to enforce, by cimiptilsory sue.sures their request, and
the bl.iek committee liellog inadequate to oppose (oce as
a measure to deter the officers from the execution of
the r duty, they sullenly accompanied the offiei rs to the
watch-house, venting, on the way, curses fur the un-
timely interference, as they thought it, of the officers, who
thus prevented them from eujoytng a eionfortable supper.
In the morning they were conducted to the office in a most
wretched condition, and were examined before the alagis-
trate, who ordered them to be committed to prison for
seven days, and then to be passed to their respective settle-
ments.
