Saturday last fresh butter sold in Canterbury
' market from 191. to 2 id. -per pound. Whether
this ewumous price aas as an inducement to dis-
honesty we know not ; but a person having bought
a pound of butter of one of the market people,
judged, by its appearance it was short of weight, and
took it to the Mayor's office to weigh, who found
it two ounces short ; the hutter-woman was imme-
diately ordered to the weighing table, and the con-
tents of her basket, con,isting of 171 h. of butter,
were found most shamefully deficient. The whole
' was in consequence confiscated, and an indi:t-tinent
will be preferred against the seller.
' Died at Cirencester, Mr. jouN JoHNsolsr, late of
Oakley, Wilts, Yeoman. Aniongst his property

ANNE, which appeared to have been bu: little cir.
ciliated ; 20 half. crowns, six d riho s, a number of
bank-notes and guineas, besides several large and
curious gold pieces of considerable value, Mr. J.
being a batchelor, his landed property, which was
copyhold, descended to the Lord of the Manor of
Oakley.
The following singular occurrence took place is
Newcastle last week. A soldier and a woman step-
ped into a shy on the Quay side, and, after purchas.
ing some trifling article, requested the shopkeeper
to suffer them to leave a covered basket for a fecv
minutes. The parties not returning at the time ap_
pointed, the shopkeeper ventured to lift the c ,ver,
ing, when to his great astonishment, he found hill,.
self in possession of a fins young child!
On Tuesday evening, about seven o'clock, some
Revenue officers seized a hackney coach in Leaden_
hall-street, with a quantity of contraband lace and
other goods, to the value of ❑pwards of 25'01.

who had the property in their care made their
escape.

A man of the name of Swan, of good appearance,
and powdered, stating himself to have b•en Owner
of several Vessels for several years back, which had
been shipwrecked at sea, was examined as an impos-
tor, for going to different families with petitions of
a begging nature, by which he derived considerable
sums of money, which appeared by a list of benefac.
tors in a book found upon him.
His unlucky atar directed him to the house of
Mr. Rashleigh, an eminent attorney in Hatton.
garden, where he presented his written piteous tale.
He was immediately recognized by that Gentleman,
having been committed to Maidstone ;ail by his
brother, a Magistrate, under the Vagrant Aa. It
has since appeared that he had been taken up a
Wapping, mid examined at Whitechapel Office for
the like offence, about a year since, and was passed
to his place of settlement, at Thorne, in Yorkshire,
as a vagrant. Upon the clearest evidence he was
on this occasion sent to the House of Correction, to
be tried at the Quarter Sessions.

and Isaac Smith were charged before the LORD
MAYOR, with having attempted to steal a chest of
tea, the property of Messrs: Fa Y and Co. wholesale
tea dealers, Mildred's-court, Poultry. By the evi.
deuce cf the carman and porter in the employ of the
Prosecutors,
it appeared, that they were sent with
a cart-load of tea to he delivered at different Inns.
About five o'clock on Wednesday evening, while
they were delivering a chest of tea at the Castle Inn,
Wood-street, the Porter observed Heseltine upon
the cope of the cart, lifting up a chest of tea, at.
tended by other accomplices round the cart, when
he was taken into custody, and the rest ran off,
when Smith was deteaed from among them. In
their defence, they denied the charge, or of having
any knowledge of each other. Smith requested
that he might be sent on board the Tender, when,
in consequence of there being no material proofs to
commit him, his Lordship consented to the proposal.
Smith immediately asked the other prisoner if he
would not go with him, but his Lordship would not
suffer it. The Prisoner Heseltine was fully com-
mitted for trial.
