Two Gentlemen, skid to, be of the Army, came
frotn the Southto LoCkerbie on the rith_curt. and
next du y,, without liberty given, went to .the moors
near that place, and killed several brace of grouse.
bn the 13th.they.set out again, when information
having come from various quarters, the Deputy_
'Clerk of the Peace presented a fetition for one of
the Proprietors of the grounds, to a neighbouring
justice of the Peace,
,who granted a Warrant to ap_
prehen4 the -persons .of the two strangers, and to in.
carcerate them (upon- the. faas being admitted.or
proved) until they should find bail to appear in an
Adion. to be brought against them for trespass,
damages, and penalties, in terms of the laws. They
were so detained in custody for several hours, when
the Petitioner's Procutator. and the Justice having
mitigated the penalty to '5l. each, besides expences,
in respect} of the strangers seeming ignorance of the
laws, not on account of their rank, which they
erroneously appeared to think might give them a
claim. to tolerance; and on payment Of the money
they departed. They wore assured, and shewn,
contrary perhaps to their expeffitions, that the
Laws: of this part of the United 'Kingdom made-no
distintlion of persons, when trespass of 'property
was committed, without. liberty given. The money.
recovered was distributed among the Pool. of •the
parishes of Drysesdale, Sibbaldie, and Hutton, where
the trespass was committed.

On Sunday morning last, about two o'clock, the
house of RICHARD CA-roN, Esq. No. 1, Tavi-
stock-place, Tavistock-square, was broken open by
forcing the window-screw in the dining-room, and
then forcing the, quarter-shutter from its hinges.
The noise awakened one of the family, who went
to the stairs, but all appearing quiet, returned to

rest. At six o'clock lie house was alarmed by a
neighbour,. when it was found the thieves had, en-
tered as above), and.had forced the centre drawer of
:the side-board, from whence they had taken several
pieces of plate, but in their hurry had left a Ash.
slice: Not having time to force the cases on the
side-board, they-carried them to -a close west of
the square, though in full view of the house, and
there rifled them of plate to a considerable value,
with which they made leaiing the boxes be-
hind: The perpetrators are supposed- at • Boiv_
street', to be a part of a den, amounting: to thirty.
or forty, who are amassing•a large fortune by such
depredations, and yet- avoid apprehension, by tak-
ing nothing but plate, which they immediately dis.
solve.

• the very'singular.medical case.., which occurred
lately in the City of Chiehester,is strongly authen-
ticated by the following particulars
On a latter day 'of FeJ;iruary last, a child of
Jonathan and Elizabeth White,, living at Mys, HO!.
-den's in the West Pallant, Chichester, ,having :the
care of its infant suckling brother, aged six Months,
whilst in the cradle, put to its mouth a two,bladed
knife, with a horn or bone handle- (for the present
appearance of the evacuated fragments do hot war..
rant either conclusion!) which the infant swal_ -
,lowed with some pain, but with no consequent
dangerous symptoms. It does not appear that
medical assistance took place, but only:that castor-
oil was recommended and given, also poppy water
by the mother, :13 a narcotic. The .infant'S linen
soon assumed the appearance of iron 'mould, and
on. May 24, (three-months after the accident), the
-shortest blade was evacuated in a very corroded
and diminished state, and on June 16,, one half .Or
side of the handle. was cast up- inia,doubled, but
not softened state, which, upon attempting to strait.,
en, broke in two at the rivet holes ; 'a piece of
iron was at the same time cast up (probably the
living iron) much corroded.—Nothing more ap_
peared until Sunday, July 25, when one•.of _the
blades came away, • corroded, but not much dimi-
nished.-4ourtitly, on Wednesday the t i ih instant,
the iron back piece was cast up, in a less corroded
or diminished state than the others ;• this me,,,lred
near three inches and a half, and is at one end as
pointed as a common packing needle. The whole
instrument thus appears to have come away at the.
above four times, except the rivets, , which, it is
presumed, are either become dissolved -or escaped
inspection. The chalybeate property has not 'only
shewn itself upon the infant's linen,- but even wood;
which the fceces have touched, has ineitteeably rer
ceived the iron-mould stain. The child is de-
scribed as having suffered much pain, particularly
near the times of the several voidings taking place ;.
it has rather an emaciated appearance, and has Much
loathed its- food. It has been suckled once each
day since the accident., but is now more at the
breast, and there is every reason to expert , its full
recovery. The above principal points are from the
rotes-of a'Praditioner, who has occasionally (only)
Deem the infmt, and who is in possession. -of some
of.the above extraordinary vestiges ; the mother
keeping the remainder. The knife must have been
full three inches long, and was of the
-sort attached..
to pocket books.
