which was owing t.) him, took a ielo Bank of Eng-

a China tea-pot which stood in the parkur cupboard.
On Sunday a few friends called in by chance to take
a cup of tea : the best ware, as a mater of course,
was brought forward, and the company enjoyed their

washed, and put them by, btfore it ever struck the
poor hostess that her £lO note I^'as pate, i 4 never to

friends, who e.articip ted to her distress. One t,f the
guests fortunately asked the s: rvant where

Late on Thursday night, or early lesterday mor-
ning, the house oi Mr. Chat les Gosling, of Haswell,
draper and salesman, was broke open and robbed of
property to a considerable amount, consisting of
made up wearing apparel, sloshes. shawls, &c.
Between five and six o'clock, yesterday morning,
the warehouse of Messrs. Alchorne and Stubbs, of
Old Fish-street, Doctors' Commons, was -broke
open and robbed of several bales of goods, consisting
of superfine and other cloths, kerseymeres. fine
.serges, Irish linens, and various other articles, to the
amount of at least 4500. The watchman, it ap-,
peered, had left his stand but a slyTt timv previous,
and a servant-woman, in the premises, having heard
a cart draw up to the door, and again retire in about
a quarter of an hour, her suspicion was excited, and
alter getting up to ascertain thp fact, the robbery was
discovered.

BURGLARY AND SUPPOSED MURDER.—The inhabi-
tants of the parish of Mary-la-bonne have been in
considerable alarm since Thursday last, in conse-
quence of a report being in circulation that a woman
and a girl, left in care of the house No. 19, Foley-
place, had been murdered. The house in question
was fitted up last Spring as a lodging-lionse, and was
soon_ after Lken by a family who were little known
in the neighbourhood. A few weeks back, they went
into the country, and since that petiod the tiades-
men, &c. had no communication with the house, but
an elderly woman and a girl were occasionally seen
there, who were supposed to be left in the care of the

house. Last Thursday morning, the area-gate and
kitchen window-Mutter were observed broken ; and,
on further t•zamination, it was found that all the fur-
niture was taken away, and even the Venetian blinds
from the windows. The persons before alluded to
were also missing, and ha✓e not since been heard of:
hence it was interred by some of the neighbours that
f bey were murdered, and their bodies carried away
by the robbers.

Wednesday a dreadful circumstance occurred at a
house in Stepney :—A Captain of a West Indiatnan
lodgvd there, who had a Black girl, about fourteen
or fifteen years of age, living with him as a servant,
whom he had lately occasion to punish for gross mis-
conduct ; since which she had !Rea extremely sullen
and perverse. Wednesday she was in a room-occu-
pied by her master, in which were several fire-arms,
and had a little boy, the son of the landlord of the
house, with her. After they had been tl'e►e some
time, the family were alarmed by the discharge of
fire-arms ; and on entering the room the little boy
was discovered to be shut in the most shocking man-
ner, by the Black gill, with a musket. A surgeon
was sent fi,r, who ascertained that one side of his
head was dreadfully injured, nearly all his teeth and
•n that side being carried away.

To the several and recpective very Reverend and AS
erudite Doctors in Divinity, and to the test et the
Learned. Quorum, ti.eir companions, in Perry Ses•
inns asaenthled Older the Mitre) at Greenwich, on
the 21st d.iy of September, 1815 :
GENTLEMEN,

It has been well-observed by a writer of great emi-
nence rf the last century, " That Injustice done to an '
Individual is sometimes of Service to the Patine."
The warrant Issued against Wilson " The Pede;-
trian" 'has properly aroused the public attention. By
a Coinpulsnry Process issued, not by an individual
Magistrate, but by a Court in Petty Session assem-
bled, a British Subject has been illegally deprived of
his Liberty ; I do not mean to insult the Learned
Quaternion who signed it by an appeal to their Es-
petience, but I affirm that this instrument carries
false allegation and absurdity on the face of it, and
AS a Magtstr ste and a Lawyer I undertake to prove,
from the Authorities which I shall cite, that Airs
Court has done that, which neither by the Statute nor
Common Law of England, they were warranted in
dr•ing.

Tb Fru position I mean to assume is, That Wil
son walkit,g ag dust Time (even for a remuneration
in mo ley) was thereby guilty of no act in itself either
crrariad or //kg 1.
Secon49, That as far as his own agency went,
Wilson, when he was apprehended by virtue of this
warrant, was acing no crim►nal act, and nothing
which then brought him within the cognizance and
jtpu.cret,:nn rf the Courts, under whose authority the
, caption of his person was made.
nii•dly, That the caption of the person of Wilsort
was a Bross violation of the liberty of the subject, and
as such, illegal, unconstitutional, must arlitrary, and
oloresrive.
b!liti next proceed to analyze the warrant itself.
There is a sincerity in the ignorance of this instru-
ment which disarms it of many difficulties. But still
it is not easy to bring to any technical tests a comp°
sition in its origin and characteristics so spurious and
equivocal. Though no Statute be even construc-
tively alluded to from the untechnical terms, .6 A
very tumultuous assemblage of people, &c. &c. ; and
a considerable interruption of the peace, &c. Stc."
I can only incline to think that the mery learned com-
positor of this instrument (if he ever saw the Statute
Book) had either the IS Hen. 4. ch. 27, or some one
of the later Acts relating is Aid: in his eye.
I shall next proceed to examine, from the text au-
thorities, what a riot is. I there and, " That an
unlawful•assembly, and an unlawful act make a riot.
But if the assembly was lawful, without an ill intent,
and an affray happen, the actors only are guilty. But
if the assembly was unlawful originally, then the fact
will be imputed to all who were present."-2 Salk.
594; 6 Mod. 43, 141 ; 1 Hawk. ch. 65. sec. 1 ;
Dalt. c. 136.

For the Statitable definition of Riot, see 1 Geo.
ch. '26, and seq.
In Lambard and Dalton may be found the Forms
.of the Records of Riots viewed by the Justices and
Sheriff, or Under Sheriff. Also the certificates and
returns to the writ upon the statute of Northampton.
First, it Appears there is no allegation, no charge
of an act •ot riot against Wilson in the warrant.
Secondly, Though there be a venue in the margin
of the warrant, there is no venue to any act charged
' against Wilson in the body of the warrant, which is
necessary to spew that the offence charged was com-
mitted within the jurisdiction of the four Magistrates
, who signed the warrant.—Lamb. 311 and seq.
Thirdly, Wilson in the very untechnical terms of
the warrant, is ordered to be brought before four of
the Magistrates of this Petty Session, in order to his
being called upon for his eecoriey for his appearance
at the then nest General Quarter Sessions of the Peace
to be holden for the County of Kent, then and there
to answer the premises (query, what premises ?) and
also for his being of “ good behaviour" in the, mean
time towards his Majesty and all ,4 his lioge.wople."
From the construction then of this warrant,* is
professed to have been issued upon view by nine Ma-
gistrates, who found Wilson ,s in the Maineur," that'
is, in the commission of an unlawful or criminal act.
This aver-most is notoriously false, as the facts adduced
in evidence at the hearin&, and the subsequent testi-
mony of some of these same Magistrates, have
proved.
I will ask, where is the Record or Certificate of the
view on which this warrant emanated, to be found ?
Is it returned into the King's Bench, or into
Chancery f It being made out of Sessions, it certainly
cannot he tiled amongst the Records of the Sessions
of the Peace.—Lamb. 312, 36.5, 375.
But what say the Text Authorities ?
I find's If an affray, forcible entrnor other thing
