After the - usual forms. had been gone through,
Sir WILLIAM SCOTT delivered. the Charge -to the'
Grand Jury, .in .which- he informed . them of the,
offences which were to come before them ; and con.
eluded by:saying, that their own experience would
be the; best guide titiycould possibly have in the
business which was for their consideration.
"Only four.BilKwere deliiered, to thetn, three:of
which were found. • ,
lraterhi/je, and. Thomas Canterbury,
the former a boy of sixteen, and the latter of thirteen
years of age, were 'put to the Bar, indided for that
they, oh the sith of September,' about half a mile
from the harbour of Weymouth, and within the ju.
risdidion of the Admiralty Court, did damage a
Certain vessel called a Sloop (the property of Ben.
jamin Kerrage), by making and boring ,two holes,
oneof theM in and' through the starboard side, and
the other in and through the larboard side, by
means of which she was in great danger of sinking
and being lost:
Mr. CUR 141 Y opened 'the case on the part of the
Prosecution`, and Mi. KNArr stated it.
• Patrick Hodge, Master of the Sloop called the
Brothers, .deposca, that on the 9th of Septem. ,
.bee the was lying about half a mile from WO.
mouth harbour, in fiye. and a half fathoms water,
laden with voile, and in good condition. It would
nut have taken more than a quarter of an hour to
pump out the water she would make in twenty.
fourimurs. At ten o'clock on the morning of the
§th he tried. the pun p, and found fier,dry. In the
course, of the day 4i; came on shore, and left the.,
rrisGners on board to take care of her: One of the
Ptisoners was an apprentice, and the other he had..
taken .in on trial. Ide came down ip the evening,
and hailed the Sloop, but received no answer. Ile
then hailed a Man of War's Boat which was passing,
and she rent the Prisoners on shore to him, in. the
Stoop's Boat., He went on board with the Mate;
and having heaved the anchor, hoisted the jib.sail
for the purpose of going into the. harbour; but the
vessel,- would not sail, and he found She was ,
water-logged, and that she had four feet water
in the hold. .1-le then' ran her on ,shore,, at the
south side of 'the harbour, to prevent her sinking •
in deep water& and Sent
.for the Owner and some
other._ hands to
.help at , the pump: About ten at
night. heisaw . the Prisoners on, board ;, but having
gone into the hold to fee where the water came in, ,
the Prisoners went on shore in the. boat, and were
not taken for two, days after. The Sloop was not
cleared out till five..io the, morning. lie then went.
into the hold,, and, found the lining had been torn
away from her . bottom, and two holes bored
through . the_ outside. plank, one at .the starboard,
and the other at the larboard side. He said he had
no doubt but,,that it was In coosequeoce Of these
holes that the ship was water logged ; and, he
'believed, if he had not come On hoard as ,soun as he
'did, the vessel would have. suck in less than half ,
.an hour.

. _Benjamin kerrage the Omner, said, that when.
he came on short,* pursued the Prisoners,
overtook the younger of them, Canterbury, at
Blandford, in _Dorle!shire and the elder, WAter-
hon.e, at WiniboOrn, &bout eight miles further on.
brought; them
,back; /o Weymouth, where they
wcre taken before the Mayor. ,

, when the Prisoners were examined before the. Mayor,.
and set rheirmarks to their ponfossion, which is also
signed by the, Mayor.
The confession Was-then.read, which stated, that
when they were ajone in the vessel, one of them
said, he wished there, 'was ,g hole in, her bottom
.and ;hat they both went dinto, ,and, having taken
awiry the lining, they bored two'holes in the out-.
side plank, with a large iimbler, the haidlo of
which coming off, it dropped through the hole into
the water.
Sir Ststota ,LE,BLANc Summed up the, evidence..
• The jury retired—and, iv. about a taunter ()lan .
hour, found 'them both Guilty.
Sir SCOTT then pronounced the judgment of
the. Court, and, after an ,appropriate admonitions
tigntenced the Prisoners to tsziurteen years transporta.;
The other Prisoners, against whom bills were
found, not being as yet brought up from the Liar-
rent seaports, where they are in confinement, the
Court adjourned at an early hour.

There have been two alarming fires at Chester
within a short ritra.--On the night of the 4th itivt.
,some stabling,' at Glovers Stone, were burnt to the
ground ; and early on Tuesday morning last, the
large workshop belonging to Parry and Truss, coach..
makers; in Foregate.street, were entirely destroyed
by fire.

'About 'nine o'clock on Tuesday evening an alarm.
ing file broke out in the bakehouse of John Whitter,
jun. baker, in the ' Coivgate, Dundee, by which
that,, with the loft. over it, containing. a considers.
ble quantity of biscuit and &Mr, were
.tofally con.
turned. The alarm was first given by a boy, Who
slept in -the loft, and who was almost suffocated by
the smoke. By the exertions, of the votunteers and
