SEDITION.

Om 'Friday morning early, a Printer' 'in the. neigh.
bourhood of Tottenham.court Road (whose name
we forbear trl mention at present) was taken into
custody by Rivet, and others of the Bow.streetOffi-
cers, on suspicion of having 'printed some -seditious
papers, which a few days ago had been dropped
down areas, and distributed in differert parts of
London and Westminster. 'On searching the house,
the Officers found several of the bills in question,
packed up in parcels reedy to be sent out, with this
interrogative title—" Are you right ?"
The Prisoner Underwept a long examination on
Friday, at Mr. Secretary Yottics's Office, before
the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. KING, and Sir
RICHARD FORD, when he was ordered into cus-
tody, and the next day to be brought to the
Office at Bow-street, and there to undergo a pri.
vale examination before Sir RICHARD FORD. The
Prisoner pointed out a person with whom he said
the business origiqated. On examining the person
accused, however, it appeared clearly that he was
innocent of the Charge. A manuscript paper, simi.
lar to the printed bills, was a few days ago stuck up
in the City, but was taken down and brought to
the LORD MAYOR, who set on foot an inquirr im.
