1 • On. Saturday -se'nnight a singular' exhibition took
I place on the river at Montrose :—Seven fishing
Smacks had arrived
.from. GraVesend to proeure
,btiCkies for bait, and were folloWedbyAnother Smack
• from Harwich, for the same purpose. It appears
:they are.regularly served by the fishermen as they
enter, and a stated price paid by all for the score of
buckies ; blit'theHarwich map;
.Wishing to get tile
start
.of. his cornpaniOns, thought proper to bribe
the fishermen with ,an additional halfpenny per
'score, and accordingly got his quantum? in preference
Ito the othei,s., .SuCh a flagrant infringement on the
established custom loudly called for an immediate
punishment adequate to the.enormity of the crime.
The Grave Send men instituted an inqniry, which
was followed by a-court-martial, the result of which
was, that the unfortunate' Ilarwich man was sen-
tented to be publicly (in effigy) flogged through
the fleet, and- afterwards committed to the flames ;
which sentence .was accordingly put in execution,
with all due seleMnity, amid.the joint' acclamations
of the multinfUde on the shore. The vessels-were re-
gularly equipped, with colours half mast high, and
the. boats moved in grand pt-oceSsion, the first carry-
ing a fiddler, and the last the effigy of the culprit.
