up my residence in this neighbourhood last year, I found that the
salmon in these rivers were shamefully destroyed; I ih,rerore, to
do a public good, rented the royalties, ill order to pc srtve the fish
within them; mid, believing that this person (Hawes) was a suit.
able man to watch and report to me the names of •tich persons a,
he fright discover illegally catching the salmon. I directed him to
de so; but I soon found my confidence was 1116;th:et-el, and I haw
been endeavouring to find this Thomas 1).. • e. ever since March
last, that I might take from him the paper than he had reglies:e:l
me to sign, and I shall feel much obliged if you will do so, and
put it into the fire, on Dawes being again brought before you.—
I have the honour to be, etc.

Julin Curtis, a wood-cutter, a very powerful-Tookiug man, was
yesterday brougl.t from St.Giles's watch-house, charged ..with assaul-
ing Bartlet, one of the beadles of the parish, and breaking his leg.
Mr. Dvaa, the Magistrate, said that although he did nut doubt
but the beadle's leg was broken through aecickiit, yet as the pri-
soner resisted him in the execution of his duty, he must find bail to
answer any charge that may be preferred against aim; Ithmelf is
£.50, and two sureties in £25 each.

Sunday evening last, about nine oVock, a skiff, con-
taining five boys, the eldest of whom did not exceed 12
years of Hge, was oi)served near London-bridge, and in
a short time the boat struck the bridge, when the boys,
being frightened, jumped upon one of the pier-heads.
Their cries soon brought a crowd of persons u;,on the
bridge and shores, when Al,chael *Lane and Joseph
Wing, watermen of Pepper-alloy, went into the liver
for the purpose of rescuing them, and succeeded in
bringing the whole of them safe to shere, by bringing
them one by one upon their backs.
