BOW- STR FE T.—Tike female impoftor was yeflei-
Llay brpnght ,up for another examination, when
the conleffed the whole of her fin mei. Itory to he
falle, and now lays fhe is the daughter of Mr.
Bagnell Harvey, who was exectit;:d at Wexford,
in Ireland, during the rebellion.—There is •yet
great doubt whether this is the la6t, as about t
year and a half ago fhe went to Mtgs. Cox and
Greenwood, the army agents, and by an artful
tale impofed herfelf upon them as the daughter'
of a Scotch officer of the name. of Cameron ; And
as Inch, was for come time fupported by thole
gentlemen, but who at length dilcovered the
cheat; and from various circumflances, were in-
duced to believe fhe was only the daughter of a
to jeant of rhat name. At yefterday's examitration
the appeared to have 101 l that effrontery the before
poffelled, elpecially when ordered to be remanded
to the Houle of Cat radion.

I.,onard Mite and John Lay: )n, two well-known
characters, were put to the bar, on a fufpicion of
being houfebreakers. It appeared, that on Friday
evening latl, as M'Manus, Sayer, and Towniend,
were returning in a poit-chaite at Turnham-green,
they met the prifinteri, and another man in a
tingle horfe chaife ; judging they were going into
the country for the purpote of committing fame
depredation, they turned back, and followed them,
but, perceiving themfelves purfned, they threw out
lonic implements fit houlthreaking, which were
afterwards pkked tip in the road; one of them
quitted the chaik, and ran away. The prifoners
quietly fubmitted, and on the perfon of Layton
was found a fmall iron crow, for which he was
committed tis a ro-gue and vagabond, and Wire
as a reputed thief. Neither of them staving hail
prefent to appeal to the fctlions againit inch con-
they were committed to the Houle of
Correction, Cold Bath Fields.

White was only liberated from Newgate a few
days ago, where he had bee►► confined two years
for a mildtmeanor.

MANSION-Eons!.—Yefterday a man and his
wife underwent a private examination before the
Lord Mayor, charged with a confpiracy against
Mr. Peter Maefliers, a (hip-builder, of Rotherhithe,
and of Broad-greet, London. This Wind's is yet
enveloped in myftery, and is of a molt fingular
nature. A (port time finct the caulkers and
Ihipwrights in the refpeaive Dock Yards had a
dilpute with their mailers refpe::-:ing the latter
being permitted to do the caulker's work, and
infilted they fhould not employ what was techni•
cally called doublekmded mai. This e!!l,ute has in
part been fettled, as far as related to wages, but
Mr. Maettiers having perfifted in employ t.ig his
Ihipwrights in caulking of veffels, an enmity is
fuppoied to have beenentertained againft him,
%%inch on Friday laft developed itielf in the fol-
lowing wayt—a man called at the honk of Mr.
Maeffiers, in Broad•ltreet, and informed Mr. M.
that he had overheard a converfation among a
number of caulkers, at a publichoule in the
neighbourhood of Rotherhithe, which it was very
much to his interelt to attend to, as a plot was
on foot which was likely to prove his ddtruftion.
He explirined, by laying, that it had been agreed
that a j'rfon Ihould prefent a letter at the bottle cf
Mr. M. direaed for Captain B. and that when the
door was opened, five or fix perfons were to ruin
in and deftroy not only Mr. M. but all they met
with. This information, tlrange and extraordi-
nary as it appeared, was no lets alai ming to Mr.
M. who next day applied to the Lord Mayor, and
a party of the City conftables were fent to the
houfe of Mr. P.T. in Broad Itreet, where they had
not remained long before agenteel. looking woman,
dreffed in mourning, prefented a letter as. before
d (crated, and was intta.ntly fecured and interro-
gated.
From the anfwers fhe gave, it was thought
neceffary to apprehend her hulband, both of whom
were examined, and though we are not at liberty
to divulge the whole examination, yet the refult
was, that the man was committed for a feconJ
examination, and the woman, who appears to be
nothing more than an ufeful agent, was sill
charged.
OnWednefday laft James Kingdon, Gent. Clerk
to Mr. Palmer, Attorney, of Col yton, in the county
of Devon, together with Edward Davis, John
Smith, and William Bad, were apprehended and
charged before ViTiLLIAM TUCKER, Elq. one of
Maj.:4's Juftices of the Peace for that County, on
the oath of John Gill, with taking a falmon and
other fifh in a certain part of the river 'Exe,
with-
out the content of the 'rruflees of Sir Wm. Pole,
Bart. the owners thereof; and being adjudged
guilty of the charge, they were convkted in the pe-
nalty 0151. which being paid, they were difeliarge.!.
On Monday fennight was executed at I:tally-1i,
purfuant to his fentence at the Denbiglifhite Sum.
mer Buck..,, aged 29, for uttering
forged Bank of England • notes at the Rittbytt
Spring fair. He was attended at the leaffold by
the Rev. J. Jot: ks, and a Seattry. Minifier. The
unhappy man behaved himfelf very penitently, and
acknowledged the jultice.of his fentence, though
he declared it was the first offence he ever commit-
ted: he took an a ffeaionate leave of his aged father
and a fellow prilbner ( John Green), previous to his
quitting the prifon, and at the place of execution
behaved with an uncommon tlrmnefs. Having ad•
di effed the ipeaators for nearly an hour, he droo-
ped an handkerchief as-a fignal, and receiving the
companion of a numerous multitude, he ealily re-
ligned his breath—a melancholy, though Tweet%
lary fact ifice to the violated laws of his country.
Bitekky was convittcd principally upon the evi-
dence of Nadin, the Manchelter conflable, who
extorted a confellion from him while in confine-
ment at Stockport, Nadia having been introduced
into his'company as a felon. H. Buckley was by
trade a butcher, a native. of Mellor, in Derby lithe,
and before this unfortunate circumstance bore an
unblernillied charaaer. John Green (his fellow
pritbner), aged 38, convicted of *utterizivgoforged
notes at the Wrexham Spring fair, and was to
have fuffered with Buckley, is relpited till Monday
the 4th instant. He was a grazier and farmer and
