The Defendant, who had been conviaedofassault-
ing and Obstrthing an Officer olJustice, in the exe-
cution of his duty, was called upon his recognizance;
and not appearing immediately, the Court expressed
their unwillingness to put. him toithe expence con-
sequent on his non-appearance, and allowe4 the bu-
siness to stand over for a few hours.

The Defendant attended soon after, ,when it ap-
peared, in the course of the proceedings, that the
Prosecutor being furnished with:a Writ
_of Posses-,
sion, repaired to the .Defendant's house, and pro-
ceeding to execute his Writ, by taking the posses-
slon, the Defendant assaulted him violently, and
for that time prevented him; but afterwards suc-
ceeding,- the Defendant contrived once more to en-
ter the !itemises, and again 'assaulted him.
Ip mitigation of punishment, the Defendant
preferred .an affidavit, wherein he stated, that he
was a pbor coal7heaver, with a wife and five chil-
dren, without any subsistence, except what was de-
rived from his industry.
Mr. Justice GROSE, in pronouncing the judgment
of the Court, observed, with some severity, on the
mischiefs which must arise in obstrucling ati3Officer
of the Law in the due execution of his duty. , Un-
der all the circumstances, the Court ordered that he
should be imprisoned in His Majesty's gaol of New-
gate, for the space of three calendar months, and be
then discharged.

some time since on various. charges of fraud, but
Who had been•since confined by indisposition, yes-
terday underwent a second examination. The

charges, viz..Mr,'Sinithlof Whitechapel, butcher,

proprietor of stage-waggons, a wholesale .cheese

self, he completely effeeted his purposes.' The Pri-

strongest cases„,aiid the parties were bound over to

- A singular occurrence lately took place at the
Police flee in Marlborough-street-:—One of the
footmen of the celebrated Dentist Mr. DE CHEMANT,
named Alexander Faleur, and another person. named
Delafons, a workman whom he occasionally em-
ployed in preparing, gold-work, 'believing' that to
become Dentists it was only requisite to have in their
possession some mineral paste teeth of Mr. DE CHE.•
MANT'S, 'serve either as.models to-work after, or
to spew them as samples of 'their own work\ pur
loined from his hOuse several teeth and complete sets.
Mr. .DE CHEMANT; having observed that several ar-
ticles had disappeared out of his laboratory, discharged
all his servants; and very,Soon after the said Faleur
advertising himself in the Papers as Dentist, con-
firmed his suspicions. In consequence of which he
obtained a warrant to search the residence of these
two persons, in Woburn-place. Going thither with
two Constables, he found upon their working table
a quantity of mineral paste teeth, which were taken
before the Magistrate, and worn to be the property
of Mr. DE CHEMANT. Faleur admitted that he had
taken them, and for defence.alledged only, that
he presumed they were of no use to, his master.—
Mr: DE- CHEMANT haVing recovered his stolen pro-
perty, 'and fearing that the consequence of a prose=
cution might be fatal to those persons, took back
the teeth, and dropt the business.
A few days ago an alarmidg fire broke out in the
cow-house of Mr. W. Ford, farmer, at Eltham, in
Kent, which consumed the same, together with the
dwelling-hhouse, barns, and stables. Four\ engines.
arrived from Woolwich, and 'prevented the flames-
Communicating to. the neighbouring buildings
mare and two calves were burnt to death.

Saturday afternoon the Archbishop of CANTER
BURY arrived at the White Hart Inn, Hythe, in
his coach, and six fine black horses.. , Between ten
and eleven at night .the stable was discovered to be
on fire, when, notwithstanding every exertion was
made to save them,
,two of those beautiful animals
were.burnt to death, and another so badly burnt,
that it was obliged to be killedi a fourth was very
Much scorched, but is now alive, and, it is thought,
will recover; the other two escaped with little or no
injury.
-

-.-Solue days ago the house of Messrs. Collins, two
old unmarried men, at Catherington,,was burntdown.
Mr. E Collins arose at three o'clocl to brew, and it
is Supposed that the fire was occasioned by some
faggots which lay near the copper. Mr. E. Collins's
brother, who. was in bed, first discovered it ; he
called up the servants, and they'went ditrerent roads
to give the alarm. Whilst they were gone Mr. E.
Collins went up stairs to secure his money; the roof
fell in upon him, and he was burnt to -death. His
remains were dug from the ruins, and were a shock.;
ing spe&acle.

It is now very generally supposed, from various
circumstances, that more than one life was lost at
the late disastrous fire at the Key Bagnio, Kyoung
Gentleman of fortune, who had recently arrived
from the West of England, and took up his abode
in the vicinity of Bedford-square, has been missing
since the morning of the fire. ' He used to frequent
the Key, and he left home to go to Drury-lane
Theatre on the evening of the 4th of June. Doubt-
less some accident has befallen him, as he has left
the whole of his wardrobe, and a considerable sum
of money,

On Monday evening a scaffold gave way at the
Mint in the Tower, where they were making- seine
repairs, by which accident three men were-untbr-
innately killed on the spot, and many others 'se-
verely wounded.
