Cuatnus ftsrsxr.—An aelion witl be tried in
the Court of King's Bench next Term, to recover
compenfa.ion fur falfe imprifonment, under the fol-
lowing circumflances :—A Gentleman, who lives in
the Edgeware-ecad, looking out of his window a
Ihort time fence, nbferved a man in a field adjoining
his bottle, pull off his (flirt, and take another from
the hedge to fupply its place. There being no men
fervants in the h‘nfe, the Gentleman thought mild
meafures belt fuited to the cafe. and therefore pre
vailed upon the thief, whom he knew, to take a let-
ter to a per fun at fume diftance. After the rogue
had regaled himfelf in the kitchen, he fet off. The
note was addrefftd to a confiable, defining him to
detain the bearer, who had robbed the writer, and
who would make good the charge in the morning.—
During the thief's journey, he ruminated oh the con-
tents of the letter, was unable to account for the
kindnefs of his employer, and refolved to fend fome
other perfon with it ; and, for that purpofe, went to
a public houfe, where he met with the fon of a far
mer, on whom he prevailed to take the letter to the
Officer, who detained him the whole of the night,
and the greateti part of the next day, before the
mif-
take was difcovered.

ExEcuTion 4T Hoasemonoxa-Lani.--Yellerday
morning at nine o'clock, John Maycock was executed
nn the platform at the top of the New Pain, in
Horfernonger.lane, purfuant to his fentence at the
late King(ton Affixes, for the murder of Mrs. Ponley.
The fame obduracy and infenfibility to his fate,
which this culprit evinced at the moment of receiv-
ing fentence, continued to mark his demeanour till
the laft moment. Neither the entreaties of the Cler-
gyman who attended him, nor the repeated requefts
of Mr. Ives, the keeper, could induce him to acknow-
ledge his guilt ; for he perfevered to the lalt, in af-
letting his innocence, and arraigning the injuftice of
his lenience. Such were the popular abhorrence and
indignation, that (bouts proceeded from the multi.
tudc on hi% being launched into eternity.
At half pall one yetterday morning, a refpite was
received at the prifon from the Judge who prefided
in the Criminal Court at Kinglion, deferring until .
Thurfday the execution of William Duncan, the gar-
dener, who was cons led of the murder of Mr.
Chivers, his metier.
Mr. Ives, the Keeper, took the molt humane mode
of communicating to the unfortunate man the refpite
of his fentence. When he went to the cell, he found
Duncan at prayers. He alked him ho whe felt pre.
pared for his fate ? Duncan anfwered, he was per-
fealy retigned and prepared to meet ilk fentence.
Mr. Ives then empire(' if he felt any with to live ?
Duncan anfwered, No • he was indifferent about life,
but Mould feel extremely thankful for a day or two
more, if it could be allowed him, to prepare himfelf
better to meet his CREATI.I. Mr. Ives then, by de-
grees. broke to him the communication of the refpite
w..ioh had been fent for him, at which he teemed
*felled with the liveliell gratitude ; and expelled
himfelf extremely thankful for this inexact. of mercy
and benevolence ti wards him from the Jude, as
well as for the humane attentions he had maxima
from Mr. Ives in his snbappy /titration.
