siness. It was stated that the introduittion of putrid
fish into the Defendant's copper was attribiti,lbie to
the Clerk of the Market, who negligently suff:te4
it to be sold.

The RICOLDIR reprobated the praetice of sel.
ling putrid fish at Billingsgate. He expatiated not
the injury dune to the Poor and the Public by
the sale of so vile a commodity, and intimated
his intention of reporting the matter immediately
to the Chief Magistrate, in order to have the abuse
remedied. He also mentioned, that it was pr )per
the Defendant should be made an example of, to
deter others from receiving such fish ; after which
the Jury found him guilty.
The Defendant was ordered to he brought up fur
judgment at the next Sessions.—The Jury wet•
discharged.

A singular instance of the wonderful strength and
swiftness of the hare occurred a few days ago in
Ireland. Mr. Sweetman's hounds, in going to the
strand near Merry, where they are accustomed to
exorcise, accidentally put up a hare near the rules
of ICilbarriek Church ; being closely pressed, and
the tide entirely out, she t :ok straight towards the
sea, after running a considerable distance a.liead she
doubled short, and made for Clontarf. B.ing still
keenly pursued, and finding it impossible to reads
the shore, she ran towards the Light-lmost! ; but
stepped by the flowing tide, and' trighted by the
delighted seamen, who m toned their stranded vessels
to see the sport, she doubled back akin, entl
the dry banks of the North Bull, until she gainzat
the channel at Sutton. She then in .the molt 6111..
ing style ran back her soil, and had nearly gain-3
the main land, when she dropped dead before the
hounds. On the most moderate calcu!ation she
could not have gone less than eight miles in full
view of the whole pack.
About two months since a burglary and robbery
Was committed in the house of Mr. BUCKtitla IT. of
St. Mary's, in Romney Marsh, attended with cir.
cumstances of the most brutal and wanton ferocity ;.
it will be now learned with much satisfaCtion, that
the perpetrators of this daring outrage, after hi.
therto eluding every search, have at length bean
discovered, and are (four in number) committed t ir
trial. At the time of the robbery sundry articles
of plate were stolen, some of which were ye)ter_

suspicious circumstances, conceived herself j wale('
in 'detaining them, and told the man she would ad.
vertise them, in order that, if theylhad been unjustly
obtained, the legal owner might recover hi. Fru-
perry : in this Wood acquiesced, and said he would
call on Monday, to see if any person had claimed
them. In the interim, in consequence of an ad.
vertisement, Mr. Buckhurst was induced to be.
lieve that the articles therein tle,ctibed were a part
of his property; and on application to Mr. Levi, on
his arrival at Canterbury, found his conjectures
verified : and Wood, agreeably to his promise,
having called on Levi on Monday morning, was
then taken into custody.

THE KING v. T. S. OSMFR, ESQ.

Mr. Justice Goose, in pronouncing sentence, said,
that. the Defendant had been found guilty of ob..
wilding an officer in the attempt to arrest a rtson
who was amenable to the laws. It was in) excuse
that, as a Lieutenant in the Navy, the Delendai t
had a press-gang under his orders, since it was the
paramount duty of every one to respeel the law.—
" It is fit that Gentlemen in your situation," con-
tinued the Learned judge, "should learn that penal
consequences must necessarily follovir the resistance
given to the execution of legal process." The sen.
tense was, that the Defendant he committed to the
custody of the Marshal of 'the Marshalsea, for the
term of three months,. and he then discharged.,

broke into the house of a Mr. Smith, atter the. fa.
roily had gone 40 bed, *and robbed it of plate, and
other articles, to the amount of several hundred
pounds. From the circumstances attending the rob.
bery, there is little doubt but the thieves were well
acquainted with the premises ; fur the first, thing
they did, after gaining an entrance, was to lock the
dour of the 10a0.11eflant'S bed.ronm. The plate was
kept in a place that could only be known to those
previously acquainted with the situation. The Pa.
stole saw some of the villains quitting the house ;
but .the thieves being so numerous, and well.arrned,
they durst not. attack .theta. • At Southgate they
committed several robberies in the course of the
night, and stopped a long time in the premises, re.
gaiing themselves with such fare as the houses ai.
