a fellow had the audacity to steal a large trunklull
of valuable linen, from the door of Sir John Moots,
in Lincoln's Inn Fields. It was soon missed, and
Sir. John Nicols's coaahman puriued the fellow to
Clare Market, where he found him with the trunk
upon his hack. He was taken to Bow-street, and
committed for further examination.

On Saturday evening a man and his wife, servants
to Mr. Sumer, of George-street, Westminster; the
Member for Surrey, were brOught up on suspieitii.
of attempting to set fire to tlictir master's house, but
after a long examination, the Magistrate thought
there was no ground to detain them; they were
therefore dismissed.

Circumstances of suspicion still remain against
some person or persons, as there is no doubt but
die house was intended to be set ou tre..
