BRIGHTON, OCTOBER 7.

Minday a very revere accident happened to Mr.
W. ATTREk, the Surgeon of the Royal Artillery, and
fon of Mr. W. ATTREE, a refpeaable Irlicitor in this
town. The Gentleman in gneflion was proceeding
from hence in a gig, to vifit a patient at the barracks,
when in turning out of N”rth-llreet into the New
Road, the vehicle by tome accident was overturned,
by which Mr. ATTREti was fo much hurt in the
ankle joint, that the foot was obliged to be taken
away by the knife of the furgeon a few hours fuble-
y ,ntly.. He is it iw confidercd in a fair way of re.
covery. A fel vAnt was wi h Mr. A. in the carriage
wren he met with the accident, but who cfcaped

Wednefday morning, at lix o'clock, a fire was dif-
covered in Mr. WHITBREAD% brewery, in Cltifwell
Arent. Prom the %fall extent of the premifes, and
the great quantity of wood which it contains, the
greatell alarm was foread among the neighbostrs.—
But fortunately the fl tmes were firbeleed before they
had done any very material damage. A number of
engines were on the fpot in A very lhort time after the
dilcovery of the fire, which burned down the pillars
on which a vat containing 2071 barrels of beer flood
—the vat fell, and the threes were extinguithed
by
the torrent of beer which flowed from the vat.
The North call coati of Norfolk felt the drab of the
gale which blew fo violently from the North on Wed-
nclday fennight. The levelnef, of the coal!, the height
of the tide, and the fury of the wind, made the fea
inflt in upon the land with loch force and velocity as
had hardly ever been experienced. Blakeney har-
t our, which is dry at low water, was filled by theft*
itt tete fpace of a few minutes; the tide role above the
hanks, and the bouts and yeti-els which were in the
i
harbour loon fbared into the quay, and Hove againfl I
the buildings. City, which is about a mile from Blake-
oey, afforded as extraordinary a ij The'
tide ufnally riles at that place from 8 to ra feet, and
this time it role not Ids than 18; the !trees were com-
pletely inundated, and nothing but doled doors and
dunged crevices prevented feveral feet of water pene-
trating into the ground floors of the hooks. The road
-from Blakeney to Cley lies over a part of the land
which is always covered by a few hushes of the water
which comes up to Cley. When the gale began to
rage furioutly, a gig paffed with little inconvenience,
as the water role not much above the horle's atcles,
but the tide rolled in with loch extraordinary rapi-
dity, that half an hour after it was abfolutely isnpat
fable. Two gentlemen in a gig were about drivingover
at this time, anti were only fared from the dangar.of
paffige by a hamatie countryman, who obferving
what they were about to do, patted them as fall as be
could, and arrived juft as the itoriAbad.put his fort feet

LICE.

BOW-STR T —Yeflerday a qunnion came on to
he determined, before Jamas READ. Efq. of confider-
able importance 'to the coil traile in general, but
tverticolarly' to thole engaged as hawkers' and ped-
lars r.f coals. A defcriptinn of retail venders, who
have flarted up within the tall few years, tiring tarts
in all parts of London, with bufhels of coals and
'roller (mall cpisntities in !Mall Packs, with bells to
the horfes' heads. This pradice proves to be very
i:•jorions to the regular traders, as well as a great
evil to the labouring, poor, who are the purchafers of
coals in this way, as in general the coals are of the
woe ft fort, and the purchafers have no poflible check
upon the meafure.
The qtrefii.'n came, yeflerday. before the Magic
trate, in the form of an information, brought by
Mr. Baker and Mr. 'Nilotic, two r f the principal
coal meters belonging to the Weilminfier Meters'
Office for regulating the meafutement of coals,
againfl William Ct ole, of Cleveland.ftreet, Fitzroy
Square, a licenfed hawker of coals.
The information was filed at the inflance, with a
view to check an attempted evafinn of the Coal All,
which Rates, all coals (old or loaded to be fold, from
any what!, in quantities exceeding eight blithe's, (hall
be meafured in the prefence of a Meter, nr be fubjed
to a penalty of rot.
It appeared from the evidence, that on the morn-
ing of the sth inft ant, Mr. Baker, one of the princi
pal Meters, and Robert Hall and Wm. Taylor, two
fworn labouring Meters, that they attended at their
tlatir.ns in Scotland yard Coal Wharf, when they ob
ferved three gangs of men at work in three different
rooms, in one lighter, put the coals into bufhels, and
then into different fixed lacks, and were loading three
waggons with them, which had the defendant's name
upon them.
The men were afked by Mr. Baker who they were
at walk for ? they replied, for the defendant, who was
prefent. Mr. Baker told him he was doing wrong by
meafuring the coals without a meter being prefent—
he replied, that meters had nothing to do with it, as
the coals were not fold, and he intended to fell them
in fmall quantities, net exceeding eight bufhels; and
peril fled to meafure 11:e coals without a meter fuper-
intendir.g the filling of the bottle'.
The Nlagittrate, after hearing Mr. CONST in fop.
port of the information. and Mr. MANNING. the at•
torney for the Defendant, convicted the Defendant
in the full penalty r f
' The Attorney fur the Defendant gave notice of his
intend. n to appeal againtt the convidion, at the en•
firing Qt2arter Salons.
GUILDHALL.--A young boy, named Richard Lee,
was charged before Mr. Alderman Domville, the
fitting Aldeaknan, with Healing two pairs of Rockings
' from the (hop door of Mr. Keates, holier in Smith.
field ; and a per f, n of the name of iletcalf, who keeps
a paltry Chop in Whitecrofs-fireet, with receiving one
of the pairs of tti,ckings from the boy, knowing them
to he (Wen.
Some days ago, the profecuter miffed a pair of
(tockings from his door, and La night the prifoner
Lee fuccecded in carrying off another pair; but the
lofs being immedi itely dircovered, he was ;marred,'
and the property found on him. When interrogated
as to his having formerly been guilty of a fimilar
offence he confefPd that he, in company with ano-
ther boy, had Oaten another pair of Itockings from
the profecutot's door a few evenings fence, and that
they had f 'ld them to the other prifoner, Metcalf.
The receiver, when firß taxed with the offence, de-
nied all knowledge of the boy, but a pair of flock-
iogs, ecadly fimilar to thole taken from the prnfecu-
tor's door, were found on his legs. The private
mark being gone, however, the prefecutor could not
fwear to the property, and fume after confetlions
made by Metcalf, it appeared had been extradcd
from him, in confequence of expectations of favour
held out to him, by the officer, who told him it would
he better for himfelf to expofe the boys from whom
he was in the ufe of receiving ficlen property.
In this fituation the worthy Alderman, after fe-
verely reprimanding the officer for an interference on
his part, In contrary to his ditty, and fo prejudicial
to the ends of jußice, found himfelf under the neeef
fity of difchartging Metcalf, who was known to fe•
veral of the officers as a common receiver. The boy
was ordered to be fent to the Marine Srciety.
