MONDAY, JULY 7.
Moses Clarke, a Revenue Officer, was inditied
for stealing a quantity of Dutch prize tobacco
from on board the, Brig 'Speedwell" in the River
Thames. • ' . .
The principal Witness that appeared for the -pro-
secutiOn was one• Jeremiah Pool, a waterman, who
swore that he recewed about six 'pounds of tobacco
from the Prisoner. He afterwards sold it eta pub,
lie-house for only the sum :of -12 s- The Nate and
another Witness, who were, to have, proved the. fad
of thes Prisoner- having unlawfully taken the tobacco,
were unavoidably'gone on another voyage.
The RECORDER stated to the Jury, that he did
dot-think the evidence of this man, who was evi-.
dentlyf an accomplice, without any thing el,se to cor-
roborate his statement, was sufficient to convia the
Prisoner. The Jury then found him—Not Guilty.
• The Prisoner afterwards attempted to say some-
thing about-'his-,,charader having snffered by thi4
prosecution. But thellEcoßnEtt observed, that he
might think himself, very happy that the trial had
terminated as it'did, as he could not suppose that the
smallest doubt of his guilt remained on the mind of
any man in Court, though he. Could not be legally
convided. The_Prisoner was then taken from, the
Bar. . .

'in 'silver. The:Jury returned a verdid 'of—Not

The following remarkable circumstance lately oc-
currcd,at South-,Hill, the seat of the 'Right Hon. G.
Canning, in Windsor Forest : some boys found a nest
of young squirrels apparently not more than ;a week
old; on dividing their prize, one of them fell to the
lot of d lad,-son of the "Steward, 'which he conveyed
home; on laying it down on the floor in the kitchen,a
cat that had recently kittened sprung forward, caught
it in her mouth, and to the sbrprize and mortification,
of the boy, carried it off. Six. weeks afterwards, on,
removing some straw in a barn, a litter of kittens was
discovered, with the young squirrel, in a much im-
proved state, amongst them. One ,kitten 9nly was
preserved, which the, cat nourishes with the squirrel ;
and what seerns extraordinary, she appears far more
attentive wile stranger than to her own offspring.
