Monday last a very destructive fire took place in
the hamlet of Gecston, near Ketton, Rutlandshire,
which consumed three cottages, two barns, and a
hovel. The tenant of one of the cottages. named
Coupland, being absent, and his door locked, none
of his furniture could be saved, and with it were de-
stroyed £36 in Bank notes.
The following is a Copy of the Bill to enlarge the
time, for commencing Prosecutions for Forfeitures
under certain Acts, relating to the Abolition of the
Slave Trade :
W here's by an Act passed in the Forty-sixth year of the Reign
of His present Majesty, inti'uled, " An Act to prevent the im-
portation of Slaies, by any of His Majesty's Subjects, into any
Islands, Colonies, Plantations or Territories belonging to any
Foreign Sovereign, State or Power, and also to render mote effec-
tual a certain Order made by his ilajesty in Connell, on the Fif.
teen, h day of August one thousand eight hundred and five, for
proliobi.ing the Importation of Slaves (eXCert in certain cases) into
'
any of the Settlements, Islands, Colonies or Plantations, on the
Continent of America, or in the West Indies, which have been
surrenuered to his Majesty's Arms during the present War, and
to prevent the fitting out of Foreign Slave Ships from the British
ports ;" And whereas by another Act passed in the Forry.seventh
year of the Reign of his present Majesty, intituled," An Act fur
the Abolition of the Slave Trade .;' various Penalties are imposed
Persons offending against the Provisions of the said Acts re-
spectively ; and the Ships or Vessels and Boats employed in such
Offences, and the Good,,,Wares, Merchandises and Commodities
on board the same. are, in various cases, subjected to Forfeiture,
and to be se:zed and prosecuted as forfeited ;
And whereas the 7 ime limited by Law for Prosecutions, in
such cases, is tound by experience to be too short, in respect of
Offences committed against the said Acts;
Be it therefore enacted, by the King's gost Excellent Majesty,
by and wi:h the advice and cousent of the Lords Spiritual and
• Temporal, and Lerrulnins in this present Parliament auembled,
