ceived a hoise-whipping this morning on coining

Not folk-street, he stopped opposite The Observer
Office and bawled out, that the Observer, which
was formeily a patriotic Paper, bad become a
corrupt Journal since it had been conducted by
the Spectacle Spy, Dow LINO. Ilr.G V. Dow LING,
the Gentleman thus so shamefully 'alluded to by
lILINT, went in consequence to the Hustings this
morning, and on MST making his appearance,
Mr. DowLING immediately seized him and Lid a
horsewhip with some force over his shoulder.—
HUNT'S deal and dumb brother ran np and struck
at Mr. DowLiNa, but was knocked down by the
hitter. Some persons then interfered, and after,
much altercation a suit of truce took place, and
thus the matter rests at prebuilt.
