tained the goods under falfe pretences. The par-
ties failing to ellablifh the charge, the LORD
MAYOR aid, he mutt be acquitted. He was im-
mediately arrelted for the debt.

John Tae/or and .elna Pugh were charged by Ws.

Gut LOH A L L.—D.Orine was charged by Mr. Rig-
by, an Attorney, with ailing in concert with ano-
ther perfon not yet apprehended, and defrauding
him of feveral fums of money. Mr. Rigby bred,
that fotte time 'ince, this other perfon applied to
him, requelling him to lend him a little money.
as he was going into the fervice of a Gentleman at
the Weft end of the town. Mr. Rigby knowing
him to have lived with a Mr. Wilkinfon,at Stock-
ton, and believing him to be an honeft man, rea-
dily advanced him fix guineas and a half ; but not
hearing from him, he made enquiries, and learned
that he had been going over the country defraud.
ing perfons of various funs of money. On Satur-
day he received information that he was at a houfe
in Fetter-lane ; Mt. Rigby accordingly went therei
but he contriv to make his efcape ; they had
both come up on that day from Henley, And had
defrauded ;!:e Coachman of his fare. The prifo-
ner had nothing to fay in his defence. The Ma-
gitirate faid, the charge did not come home to the
prifoner, as he was not with the other perfon at
the time he got the money. He, however, would
remand him, in order that he might bring perform
forward to his eh:trader, as he faid he could do Co:

' WiIIIWCHAPEL.—YeIItrday a Woman of the
name of Strad, reeding next door to the Office,
was' charged by fodr young men with unlaviully
pledging their linen, &c. entrufted to her to watli.
Duplicates to the' amount of 61. were found upon
her, deferiptire of the articles, which are valued
at upwards of 151. As an excufe for her conduCt,
fhe pleaded-that the was led into the error by the
lotfes the had fuftained in the lottery, and which
(he thought of retrieving by railing money upon
articles. She was committed to the Houfe of
Correetion.

RLIIO Rot/ c - s•rit F Partn,g was rhar,,-
ed before the Sifting Magitlrate with privately
Healing, in the Ihop of Mr. George, Linen Dra-
per, in Piccadilly, a quantity of thawls, liut-n goods,
&c. A Pawnbroker produced feveral of the (bawls
fhe had pledged with him, and 011 Ch were
idmtitied by Mr. George. She acs: owicdged
pawning them, and begged (he might not be com-
mitted, as the had three children. The Magitlratc
told her that her children would he better without
her, as the ,was a very depraved woman. Her
hu(band having (fated that he earned near three
guineas per %%T.-A, the was remanded till Saturday,
whcn other Pawnbrokers, with whom (he !nisi
pledged Rime of the property, will be ordered to
attend.

A Pawnbroker in St. Giles's charged on: ofhis
fhopmen with embezzling monies entrit fled to him
to receive for redeemed pledges. It was ilated, that
he had taken the money for the pledges and ne-
ver ente:cd it in the books. He was remanded itt
order to give pertims time to come forward who
may have taken out pledges which he has not ac-
counted for. He respelled the Magiftrate to ad-
mit him to bail, which was refuted.

On Sunday night, about twelve o'clock, a riot

took place at a houfe !near Dover-flreet, Surrey.
Road, between fcveral young bucks from the
City and a gang of proaitutes. The confli& Latta
till two o'clock next morning, when the fellows
had nearly broke every window and Ihutter in thz
houfe. Some men at length coming up, die pot.
valiant crew, furpeeting them to be police officers,
walked off'.

A few evenings fince a moll ferious riot took
place between a party of Portuguefe and Ameri.
can ftilors, at a houfe of ill fame, in Black-liorfe-
yard, Eatt Smithfield, when the woman of the
houfe took an aelive part. ' The Portugtplie h.t.i
rcetan fe to their barb.trous cuftom of cuitting
with their knives, when they dreadfully wennsi.2l
two of the Americans, one in the breatt, the other

in the thigh. They were both taken to the h %Pi-
tal. The officers belonging to Shadwell ÜBiec
apprehended fame of the offenders, who arc be id
in cuflody till the cafes of the wounded men are
alcertained.

A fetious affray took place on Toefday evening,
in Kinzflancl.roail, between fome of the Ch;nele,
when one of them,named Agui, received a viol_-.lc
blow on Ili; head with a hatchet, which rendered
it neccffary to fend him to the hofpi:al, where his

VIDFNCE has put it out of the power of roan,. by
any machination whatever, to convince the Pub-
lic, that there is this year any fcarcityof corn. Al-
though it is admitted That the crops of thole years

with the idea of a feasciry lap year were in a great

Ott about one fourth.. Now the whole importation
of foreign wheat.and corn, into Englaall and Scot-
land, confiderable as it has been, hai not exceeded
one fixth part of the annual confumption of this
country, which, ;recording to a calculaticin of its

eta, by the *Glance of vincial Bank Paper, to
withhold their Corn fro' market, if their rapacity
fhould fe lead them, and thereby in Come degree
to keep up the prices: and it indeed we are to judge
from their extortionate pratices daring the lea
twelvemonths, and particularly from the fpecimen '
exhibited Tall week and on Monday, of their inge-
nuity and ability, not merely to keep up, but even
to advaori the price bf Grain, nothing will be left
untried to gratify the avarice that has grown by
indelgeace and luccefs.
If no hope is to be entertained of touching the
confeiences and hearts of thefe inereilefs blood-

an induftrious labourer cannot, by his etmod exer-

ing him to reduce him to live by charity : and in-
deed the hand of charity, cannot be always open
on fuch terms- It wil,l Coon be difcovered that
what is given, is, in faa,given only to the Fanner
and Corn-dealer;l and tbe.point will be left to be
fettled, as it ultimately mutt be, between the Sup-

The people of this country have borne their dif-
