Saturday, David Davis, a private of the Ist Guards,
was indicted for robbing his quarters, at the Black
Lion,Vinegar-yard, Drury-lane. It appeared in evi-
dence that the prisoner made himself useful in the
house, and in return received his victuals, &c. and
was, by the landlady, for some time, considered a
very honest obliging man. She, however, traced him
at last into her wine and spirit cellar, with a pint full
of raspberry cordial, and, on searching his apart-
ment, stockings and other articles belonging to the
family were found concealed among hi, necessaries.
The prisoner denied the charge, but was unfortimate
in calling a serjeant of the corps to his character,
who said nothing favourable for him.
Mu. COtST charged the Jury, and pointed out the
enormity of the guilt in any individual, but more
especially in that of a soldier ; and the Jury having
returned a verdict of Guilty, the prisoner was instantly
'sentenced to seven years' transportation.

Tuesday evening, when Woolley's Ilythe waggon,
which was on its way to London, arrived at the turn-
pike-gate at Farningham, it was discovei ed to be with-
out a driver, and, on search being made, the wag-
goner, Thomas Hathan, was found a few cods from
the gate, lying in the road quite dead, and pi e.enting
a horrid spectacle, the waggon hash's crushed him
in a most dreadful manner.

Christthas-Jay, a respectable family named Guitsr,
residing near Frodsham, had scraped fur• their dinner.
what they supposed to be horse-radish, but which,
unhappily, turned out to be itqf's•bant- : they all par-
took of it, and Airs. G uesr died in a •hott time attei-
wards, and it was with great difficulty Mr. Guzsr
and the chihirea were subsequently lecuvelvd.
