llow-Srastr.—A few evenings fince four fel-
lows were apprehended in the neighbourhood of
Brentfind, with five horfes and a chaife-cart
their poifeffion, which these is every reafon to be-
lieve are (Olen ; and on two of them were found
forged bank notes. After undergoing a very [trial
examination, which tended to corroborate the fuf-I
picion entertained of them, they were committed
for a farther hearing, when another man, ftoppedi
a few days ago on fufpicion of bode-Reeling, by a
publican at Bufhey-heath, Herts, to whom he of-i
fered a bode for fide, which is fuppofed to have'
been Role° out of Kent, will alto be brought-up!
for re-examination, and all the horfes produced.—
This fpecies•of dqpredation has oMate been car-
ried to a molt alarming height in every part of the'
country, and is conduaed 10 fo fyftematic a man-
ner; that it is very difficult to deteft the offenders,
or recover the horfes flolen. The parties pratelifing
this nefarious trade being very numerous, and
maintaining a correfpondence with each other
throughout the kingdom, they are enabled to di(-
pole of stolen horfes in a very eafy manner, having
fettled places to meet at, where they fell or barter
horfes ftolen out of dinant eounties; in addition
to which they ate generally titterers of counterfeit
money and bank notes, either travelling as haw-
kers and pedlars, or pretending to be fo.
Massios-Hooss.=Monday a Jew, named Ng-
don, underwent an examination before the Loan
MAYOR, being charged on fufpicion of Reeling a
bank note, value 201. An old man. of the name
of Smith, in the employ of a merchant in the city,
was entinned, to receive the money for a draft
of s6ol. Being vain of the confidence placed in
him, after he had received the calls, he called up-
on his filter, who refides in the neighbourhood of
Houndfditch, and, (hewing the notes, boated of
it. Several perfons with whom he was intimate
were prefcnt, among the ref Nathan; the old
man holding the notes out to him raid, " Here.
will you buy?" Nathan took them out of his hand,
and after Tome altercation they were relloreth—
When he got home, and delivered them ,to his
matter, it was dilcovered that a note for 201. was
miffing. The old man immediately returned to
Lis filter, and anted Nathan whether he had been
playing tricks by keeping one of the notes f'to
which Nathan replied in the negative, and offered
to be fearched. He was taken into eptody, but
no trace= of the notes could be found. In anfwer
to the charge, he Paid, that he had returned all
the notes back, and that thisman's filler had them
in her hands before him. The LORD MAYOR Paid,
there was no proof to warrant a commitment.—
He reprobated the conduit of the old man in hav-
ing ailed fo hntifcreetly. The prifoner was then
- difcharged.
Warrecnarst.—Yenerday an old, man, verg-
ing on 90, appeared at this office, who had been
brought from Norfolk in a cart, to be pallid to
his fettlerrsent in the pari fh of St. Giles in the Fields,
where it is Paid he formerly rented a hook of awl.
a year. He was dreffed in a coarfe grey coat,
over which was flung alarge fword and hel t. He wore
a cocked hat with a feather and blue cockade,
with a black crape on his arm, and the break
of his coat decorated with orange-coloured rib-
bands. Reappeared to puffers a great flow of fpirits,
and spoke good Englifh. At the bottom of the
pals, he (tiles himfelf Henry Count de Naffau. and
lays he has loft 50h0001. in Holland by the war.
Wm. Burke was fully committed for trial on a
charge of knocking down a woman in Eaft Smith-
field, in the night, and robbing her of so.
UN,oN•HALL.—Yefterday an olil German was
charged with being a rogue and vagabond, lurk-
ing about farm yards, fleeping in nut houfes at
night, and early in the morning robbing potatoe-
grounds ; being a diftreffed looking °Nal, the
blagiftrates admonithed and then discharged him.
George Blind, about fixty years of age, was ex•
!mined for picking the pockets of two gentlemen,
on Saturday night La, as they were coming out,
of the Circus, of their watches, one of them filver
and the other gold. After giving an alarm, two
conitables fecured the prifoner, when an attempt
was made by a gang of pickpockets to refcue him,
but witkout effect. On being fearched, the filver
watch was found in his waiftcoat pocket and the other
in the feat of his breeches. The prifoner in his de-
fence laid, that he was very much in liquor, and
did not know what he was about. He was com-
mitted to take his trial next Spring Man,.

From a County Louth Correfpondent we learn,
that on Tuefday laft, a rural fete or harveibleotne,
was given at Dunleer by Mr. Fyans, a refpeetable
farmer, to upwards of zoo perfons, contittiag of
his labourers, neighbours, &c. After dinner, which
confifted of the utmoll plenty of beef, mutton, fat
ge4- e, and good malt liquor, a variety of rural
"Ports, horte and foot racing, leaping, wreitliag;
dancing, &c. were indulged in, and the company
feparated without any accident, and, as mull be
fuppofed, highly plcafed with the attentions of
their hofpitable entertainer.
By the vigilance and aftivity of Major Siert, an
offender has bete difcovered in the Meath Hof.,
pital, who has been lately concerned in fume atro-
cious robberies and burglaries. It appears this
siffcmder and three others, about the aid of Sep-
tember Lift, robbed the }route of Mr. Width of
Aflitown, in the county of Meath, of Bank notes
and wearing apparel ; incoming from that place
atnight, they oalled at a heuferan the real, to get,
as they alledged, fome necegieries ; bate on rapping
at the door, were refufed admittance, whereupon
the offender above.mentioned fired a loaded blurt.
derbufs at the door, which binding, gestured his
hand, aid tore away one or two of his angers ; to
be dared, be afterwards got into the Meath Hof-
pital. They are, it kerns, the fame gang who
-lately robbed Mr. Magennis's hoe& at Bullock.
The hook of Mr. Tames Barrett, a publican at
Churchtown, was entered lag night by a band of
robbers, who plundered it of near 100 guineas in
call', and every article of value in the hook.
The fame party attacked the houfe of Thomas
Meflitt, of Dundruia, but meeting with fome
refinance, which creating an alarm in the neigh-
bourhood, they fuddenly decamped, taking with
them the till, which contained but a (mall quanti-
ty of call'.
