PRIVILEGES OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

CLARKS D. WILSON.—An aelion had been
brought( in the Mayor's Court, London, by the
plaintiff, as Chamberlain, againft the defendant,
for ezercifing a trade and myftery without having
taken up his freedom; the penalty fought to be
recovered, was the fum of 51. which was given by
one of the bye-laws of the corporation. The caufe
had been removed by wilt of Habeas Corpus cum
Caufa, into the Court of King's Bench, and Mr.
GIBBS had obtained a rule for a procedendo, to re-
mand it back to the Mayor's Court.
Mr. HOLROYD (hewed caufe againft this rule,
and contended that the bye-law, authorifing the
Chamberlain to fue in the Mayor's Court was bad.
It was, he maintained, againft every principle of
juftice, that parties who were interefted thould
conftitute the Judge and Jury to try a caufe. In
this cafe the Mayor and Commonalty of the city
of London had an intereft in the penalty, and con-
fequently the Mayor's Court was an incompetent
jurifilietion for the trial of a qualion arifing out
of the bye-law.
Mr. GIBBS, on the other fide, ;Milled that the
Mayor's Court had jurifdi.lion to try the queition,
and that if its decifion fhould bedifputed, the pro-
per mode of referring it to a fuperior Court would
be hy writ of error.
_ _

Lord ELLINBOROUQH was of thefatne opinion,
he thought it a quellion of conlideraisto

moil folemn manner; with that view he WS& of
opinion the Mayor's Court lhould decide in the
fiat inilance, and that a writ of error thould be
brought upon the judgment of that Court.
Accordingly the wilt of procedendo was dire4led
to be ilfued.
ADJOURNED GUILMALI. SESSIONS.

Yeflerday the adjourned London Seflions was
opened before the Common Serjeant, (the Re.
corder being indifpofed) Aldermen BOYDELL, CA-
DELL, Leiom roN, and FLOWERS; the principal
time of the Court was employed on an indinment,
charging two men and a woman with afraulting
one Ann Horton, who faid the was nurfing a wci-
inan who lodged at the honfe of one of the De-
fendants ; that this woman not having paid her
rent, the Defendants beat this evidence and tore her
cloaths—Sarah Smithers Rated in her evidence
that the was the perfon whom the 'aft witnefs was
nurfing, and on the z ath of May, about ten o'clock
the heard a noife, and upon going out only calm;
Horton on the (lairs, with her cloaths torn; on
being crofs-examined by the Defendant's Couttfel,
the confeffed that for fix months pall the had been
employed as a witnefs under Butterfield, the in•
former, and that thehad brought forward this pro-
fecution ; that the had been feized upon by the
Defendants for rent, and had brought an anion
againft them for a falfe diftrefs. She tirongly de-
nied that Butterfield was concerned, although he
Role behind her Connie', giving him inllrations.
This clearly appearing to the Court and Jury to
be a fpiteful bufinefs, the Defendants were all ac-
quitted.

POLICE.
MR. STEELE's MURDER.

We are happy in being able to Rate, that tho
utmoft vigilance is ufing by the Police to endea-
vour to difcover the perpetrators of the horrid mur-
der committed on Mr. Steele. In addition to what
has already been (hated, we have learned the fol-
lowing particulars :—That on the fame day the
Coroner's Jury fat at Hounflow, Sir RiCHAAD
FORD, the Chief Magiffrate at Bow-ftreet, by direc-
tion of Lord PELHAM, accompanied by another
Magiftrate, Mr. KINNAIRD, and TOwNsEHD, the
Bow-ftreet officer, went down there to inveftiFate
all the circumftances attending the horrid crime,
and to obtain what information they could as to
any grounds of fufpicion of the murderers, and the
following we believe are nearly the particulars : it
appeared, the deceafed, who had purchafed a piece
of the Feltham inclofure, on the heath, had built
a houfe on it to retire to with his family, and had
laid out fome acres in a plantation of lavender ;
ereded a diffill-houfe, Bcc. for the purpofe of car-
rying on his dilhillery. The day preceding the
murder the deceafed had gone down to prepare his
houfe (which was nearly finifhtd) for the reception
of Mrs. Steele, who was to have gone down the
enfuing week for the purpofe of lying-in there. On
the evening of the murder, he left his houfe to re-
turn to London, about feven o'clock, much again IL
the perfuafions of all his domeftics, having borrow-
ed a great coat, and taken with him his cane, with
a (word in it, which he thought would proted him,
befides the idea he had that there was no danger,
as it was fo very clear moonlight.
In about a quarter of an hour or to minutes it
is fuppofed the deceafed reached the fatal fpot, but
nothing was heard refpeding him till the Tuefday
following, when upon a relation going from town
to inquire about him, as he had not returned home
to •Londort, and finding he had left his houfe for
that purpofe on the Saturday evening, and upon
a number of perfons offering their fervice to exa-
mine the Heath, the body was found near the fe-
cond clump of trees planted on the Heath, on the
right hand fide of the road going from Hounflow,
nearly covered over with dirt, and the great coat
he had borrowed was found in a pit nearly oppo-
lite to him on the other fide of the road covered
over with grafs and heath.
On examining the body of the deceafed, it ap-
peared he had received a violent blow in the face,
which had much bruifed his mouth and note, and
it is fuppofed knocked him down, as his cloaths
appeared much dirted with road land. It is fur-
poled he recovered from this, and got up and ran
towards the barracks for affiftance, as about forty
yards from the road, in that diredion, Sir Richard
difcovered a great deal of blood, where it is be-
lieved the perfons overtook him, an 4 knocked him
down with a very heavy bludgeon hound near the
(pot bloody, and with which there is no doubt the
deceafed received the other dreadful blows on hi.)
head, which had laid the fcull bare, and traelUred
it in feveral places ; and here, it is fuppofed, they
left him for thine time, from an alarm, probably
of fome perfon appearing on the road, and from
thence it was evident they afterwards dragged him
to the fpot where the body was found buried, by
the mark of the dirt on the grafs and heath which
came off his clothes. Previous to covering over
the body, it appeared his pockets were all turned
out, and his hat, ftockings, half boots, and fword
cane taken away. Upon further examining the
Heath, it appeared that the bludgeon, found near
the deceafed, had been cut from the hump of a
birch tree, in a clump of trees on the oppofite fide
of the road to where the body was found, and
which, from the chips and notches, had evidently
been cut with a (mall knife, like a penknife, and
mutt have taken a long time to divide, from the
fize of the bludgeon, which being compared with
the ftump, exactly correfponded. The utmolt
ligence was ufed by Sir Richard in the examination
of every perfon who could be found to have pagfcd
the Heath, and to have been near the fpot on the
day of the murder; and upon inquiring of the
Gentlemen at the barracks, Sir Richard dilcovered
the following particulars, which, we think, in all
probability,may lead to a cieteEtiou of the offenders :
Mr. Bullock, the furgeon of the regiment, flared,
that in the conrfe of the afternoon lie was walking
with Mrs. Bullock on the Heath, between the pa:-
racks and Hounflow, and feeing a man and woman
fitting down together, they walked towards them,
to fee what they were doing,. and, upon going up,
they obferved it was a man dread in an ohllliab.
by, foldier's red jacket, and a tall lofty wc*in in
a red cloak, without ftockings, and the man, they
made a_particulayiemai k, wasfewing the lining of

To corroborate thefe circnmitanees, there was'
found near the fpot where the body of the deceafed
was difcovered, a pair ofold {hoes, having the ap-.
pearance of being worn by a woman, and alfo to
have been worn without flockings ; and an old
coarfe hat, which had been cut in leveral pieces.
having the appearance of having been a foldier's
hat, and in the lining of which was a needle and
fome black thread.

From thefe circumftances,ilrong fufpicion arifes,
that the perfons who committed the murder, went
the perfons remarked by Mr. and Mrs. Bullock;
and an immediate defcription was fent off by Sir
Richard to the different principal towns to the
weaward, in which direction it was curpeeted the
parties went; and large printed bills to the fame
ace, have been publdheLl and ditlributed by Sir
Richard's direitious to all pans of the,kUtgdom, as
k is believed the man afterwards at on the de-
feated's hat, and the woman his llockings and half
boots.

The e only property taken from the dceeafpd, as
near:as can be afcerta►ned was, only a fmall fum
of money, not amounting to a guinea, which, he
Paid at the time he left his houfe, wa,s fufficient to
take him to London ; and which, of courfe, will not
enable the offenders to cfcape from the country.
Sir R►CHARD FORD, among others, has written
the following letter on the fubjea to the Mayor of
Salifbury

Hoonrow, Nov.'s, dos.

en of Mr. Steele. My very ltrong tufpieions WI on a man and
woman'who are gone Wefw•rd. The man is of a dark com-
plexion, and bad a rough beard. He wears probably the de-
ceakd's hat. He has on a fhabby foldier's chefs. The woman is
tallith and Intl y. She wears a red cloak, and probably the half
boots and Rocking, taken from the body. Should fueh fan in
your way, pray flop them, and let me know immediately.

The Mayor thought he could not better forward

Bow-Svassy.—Yellerday 111144 s Morris, alias
the Deer, and James Lowe, two well known
tharpers, were brought before Sir RICHARD FORD,
charged with attempting to defraud John Roberts,
who Rated that he is a drover from Wales. Yet
terday about one o'clock, as he was palling along
the Strand, the prifoner Morris came up to him
and asked him what part of the country ,be
came from ? to which be replied, from Glamor-
ganthire, when Morris faid he knew a gentleman
who lately came from the Weft Inches who wanted
to board and lodge in Wales, and aiked the pro-
fecutor if be could recommend him to a honfe.—
After fume recolleetion he faid he could, and they
agreed to go into a public houfe to write the di-
reition they accordingly went to the Fountain
public-houfe in Wych-ireet. The prifoner Morris
called for some gin and water, and after he had
got the direction where the board and lodging was
to be procured, and the profecutor's addrefs, he
made feveral attempts to get the profeeutor to en-
ter into his fchemes for the purpofe of defrauding
him, but the profecutor was thy, and would not
enter into any of them.
A Gentleman who has the good fortune toknow
the villains by fight, and as Inch is callecrin the,
clang language a soft, happening to pats through
Wye's-fired at the time the pnfoner Moth's' was,
going into the public-houfe with the profccntory
who appearing to be a countryman, he 4d no'
doubt Morris was going to defraud him. He ins-
Inediately went to the Public-Office, Bow-arcatr
when Riven, Anthony, and Jones, were dif.
ed immediately to prevent any deredationleing
committed ; and on their arrival in WychAreet,
they found Morris and the profecutor coming out
of the Fountain public-houfe, when they took
Morris into cuitody ; obferving the prifoner Lowe
habited like a farmer, and knowing him to be a
companion, or pal of Morris's, they likewife fe-
cured him.

The officers produced two pocket-books, which
they found upon the prifoners, which contained
feveral notes for tool. and in the whole for up-
wards of wool. and a lottery ticket. On examin-
ing the notes they proved to be merely pieces of
paper, in imitation of bank notes, carried for the 1
purpofe of making a flafb, on opening their pocket-
books, when they got hold of a flat. There was
only a banlgpote for 51. among them all.
The prolicutor Paid, that he had property to
the amount of feveral hundred pounds about him,
which he had received in Kent for fome oxen.
Sir R. F 0111) Paid, he was determined to put a
Rap to the infamous practices of the priConers. It
was but a (bort time fincc Morris was at the Of-
fice for a fraud, but got off by making the bufir
:leis up with the profecutor. He would now com-
mit them to the lemons for want of fureties, as no
offence had been committed again( the profecutor,
hut he would take care they lhould not be libera-
ted till they produced fpecial good bail, of which
he would have notice. Sir iticttaag further LA
that after. they were liberatedo be wophl.gitte.any
officer a guinea who would bring Morris before
him. Morris is between 6o and 70 years of age.
Sir Ric H ARO cautioned the profecutqc,ta take care
of his property, as there were two more belong.
lag to the tame gang ; and if they knew fie had
fo much property, they.,wqul¢bay it before night
was over.

EDINBURGH, NOVEMBER iz.

On Saturdag night, fame thieves broke open a
cellar door in the front area of a houfe in George-
fireet, at the corner of South Hanover-ftreet, and
carried off nine dozen of porter and ftrong ale.—
'This ad muff have been committed with deliber-
ation, as the thieves took down from the lamp
poll, one of the oil lamps burning on thA iireet,
to fhew them to their prey.
Laft -Week a boatman fell over the quay at the
Broomielaw, Glafgow, and was drowned. His
body is not yet found.

HALx.OW.E'SN.—The ceremony of rowing hemp-
feed on Hallow-e'en is known to molt of our
Readers. Monday fe'nnight a young girl, of the
name of Ifobel Carr, a fervent to Mr. Mathewfun,
type founder, would needs keep her Hallow-e'en;
and, notwithflanding the earnett remonttrances of
her mailer, who reprefented the impropriety and
abfurdity of prying into the fecrets of futurity, the
would not be diluaded from lowing her hempfeed
on that night. About ten o'clock the according-
ly went into the fonndery alone, with a light• in
her hand, which the placed on one of the tables
while the performed her incantations. She Walked
through the (hop feveral times pronouncing aloud
the words ufed fuch occaisons—and fo anxious
was the to fee foradhiag, as the termed it, that (hayr
ing teen nothing) the gathered up the feed to low
it a fecond time. In the courfe of this fecund low-
ing, according to her own account, a tall toeac:
figure prefented itfelf to her imagination !
(bricked aloud, and ran immediately into the'
&rule, all the doors being open. After relating
all that (be had feen, the went to bed, piaci/ the
Bible =lke her head!_ She rote on Tuefday, and
went through the labours of the day in apparent •
good health ; but in the evening appeared fame=
what timid. She, howevir, fupped as abet,
and went to bed without any fymptoms of
fear. Next morning the was called, but did not
anfwer ; again was called, but (till no anfwer.—
A daughter of Mr. Mathewfnn's then rote, went to
her, and found that the was very lick, and that the
had been fo during part of the night. Tca was
ordered for her, but. before it could be prepared
the was feized with a itupor ; the pulfe became
L funk, and breathing difficult, and the hands fwol-
'len and blackiffi. A medical gentleman was in-
Randy called. He fail it was an attack of an
apoplexy, which the could not furvive More than
ten minutes ' • and in rather lefs than that time the
expired, the blood buriting from her note, mouth,;
&c. The furgean, on being informed of the trap(.*
ations of Monday night, was clearly of, opinion
that the impreffion made on her imagination by
ibe fa vied apparition, was the cede of this fatal
caiabophe.
RION COURT Or JUSTICI4RT.•••••TURCdR7 Came
on before the High Court of jutticiary here, the
trial of James Clark, alias Alexander Stewart , and
Delbert Brown, both of them lately belonging to
the Coldftream Regiment of Guards, accufed at
the inflance of his Mjelty's Advocate, of having
robbed the mail coming from the welt country,
early on the ;morning of Sunday the- tit of Augnit
tall, on the high road at Wetter-Sight-hall, about
three miles weft of Linlithgow. The indi&ment
fpecified feveral bank notes which they abaraded
from letters, and carried off.

After a variety of witneffes had been examined,
the Court adjourned about two o'clock on Wed-
nefday morning till two o'clock in the afternoon,
at which time the Jury unanimoutly found both
the prifoners guilty. The Lord Ju sr lex CLERIC,
after a short fpeech to the Jury, addreffed himfelf
to the prifoners. He obferved to them, that they
mill be fatisfied they had met with a fair and im-
partial trial, and that their defence had been con-
cluded by able motel, who bad difplayed great
ingenuity in their caufe ; that after a long and fair
inveiligation of the evidence, the Jury had return-
ed a verdia, finding them both guilty of the crime
libelled, and a crime of great enormity, as it was
a complicated robbery ; for, in robbing the mail,
they in doing fo had committed a robbery again(}
every perfon interelied in its contents, and the con-
fequences might have proved ruinous to hundreds
of innocent perfons. His Lordthip admonifhed
them to think ferioufly of-the heinoufnefs of their
silence, and to make the heft ufe of the ilsort pe-
riod of time that remained to them ; for the Court
hadno difcretionary power, and were bound to
pronounce the fentence of the law upon them,
which was death. After many other falutary ad-
vices, his Lordfhip proceeded to pars the fcntence,
appointing them to be hanged at the common
place of execution, on Wednefday the 15th of De-
cem her 'nen-

The.Prifoners heard their fentence without be-
traying any fymptoms of contrition or di arefs of
mind. They were then condu&ed to prifon.

WHEN Prole(lional Men of education and re-
fpotifibility deviate from the general fyftem by the fe-
ledtkm of a peculiar Branch, the &flake of long continued
faccefs is the belt criterion of fuperiority.
Ten years have I devoted my pradtice to the exclufive treat-
ment of THREE. DISORDERS, and the fuccefsful refult of
my plan gives me additional ardour to oppofe as far as I am
able the ravages of thole complaints which are the moil import-
ant in the catalogue of human infirmities.
After initiation into every branch as ab Army Surgeon, I
formed a with at an early period of Pradiee to refcut individ►:-
als from the ignorance of uneducated Men, or the equally dua-
germs precipitancy of general Praditioners.
The THREE DISORDERS, to the cure of which I have de-
voted my attention, comprize every fpeciei of VENEREAL
INFECTION, whether of a recent or long duration.—idly.
All kinds *of DEBILITY, whether arifing from the habits of
Schoolboys, or the indulgence of mature age, and laßly that de-
rangement of the fyltem in Women which is called BARREN-
NESS or STERILITY.

Numerous difeafes are the refuit of ignorance or halte in the
treatment of a fimple Gonorrhea, and it not unfrequcntly hap-
pens that the feeds of Life are poifoned by the indifcretion of an
unguarded hour. By a fuperior method filch complaints are
eafily cured, and even where others have failed, I trill! that I
may pre fume to offer a radical re-eftabliihment.
Few, however, are the cafes of complicated diftrefs in the
diforder, compared with the calamitous &nations of Men, who
from indulgence in a SOLUARY VICE, or the prevalent G ale-
tka of a falbionable Life, acquire that (tate of Debility which
is the unavoidable confequence of fuch pernicious habits.
Where the unhappy fufferer broods over his mifery, but care-
fullyconceols his misfortune, it may be fome confolation fur
him to know, that although it be an objedt of doubt or uncer-
tainty with other Praditioners, the removal of theft: DEFI-
CIENCIES by the gradual progrefs of Renovation is the acquire-
ment of my experience. If the rites of Bacchus or Venus have
begun to reduce manly vigour, much anxiety will be prevented
by an rarly eounteratition of this languid (tate, and in gide
cafes no great diflculties will occur
But whcrr this Deficiency has for years exiftcd, a proper Per-
feverance is inddpenfibly requifite to revive the numbering fparks
of life, and to re-animate the Conftitution.

MARRIED WOMEN, who have long been difappcinted
in their clpedtations of a Family, may be atfured, that in molt,
influxes fuch defedts are curable by Medical Skill
The SECRECY which is fo effential to my undertaking, and;
