POLICE.

SHADWSLL.—Yefterday the Captain of a (hip
underwent an examination, charged with firing at
the crew of a boat belonging to one of his Majef-
ty's (hips in the river Humber, the 3oth of July,
1798, in order to prevent the prefling his men, by
which two men were killed in the boat. To detail
the cafe in the prefent page of the bufinefs would
be improper. He was committed for re-examina-
tion ; as were three men, charged on fufpicion of
having committed divers robberies in Stepney-
fields and other places.

i~Vlaxston-House.—Three Negro failors, from
Surinam, yefterday applied to the LORD MAYOR,
with a view to procure his interpofition to
oblige the Captain and Owners of a Ship in
which they had come to this country to pay
them their full wages for the voyage ; and, if
pogible' to fend, them back to Surinam. Captain
Baker, they Laid, of the Ship Hannah, enticed them
to defert their wafter and come on board his vet;
fel, promifing them the Came wages as he paid to
the reit of the crew. In the pane, he beat them
feverely, and made them work hard. Nine days
fence, they were difclearged from the veffel now in
port, by the Captain and the Owner, Mr. Cauchan,
a Jew merchant; who refuted to pay them full
wages, and turned them adrift on the world, in a
place where they knew not how to provide for •
themfelves.

" The Captain and Owner alleged, that the favour
of bringing them from flavery to freedom was fut.
ficient compenfation for all that they had done on
board, even though they had received no wages
at all. The Negroes, on the other hand, pre-
tended, that they would rather that they were ail'
Slaves to their kind mailer in Surinam, than be in
London free, and without means of fubfillance.
The Owner of this Ship being fent to by the
Lord Mayor, gave his attendance in the court.
He had not paid them full wages as feamen, but
by his account they came voluntarily on board,
without folicitation by the Captain, or any
fipu-
ladon for wager. A tailor, who made the voyage
home with them, affirmed, on the part of the
Owner, that they, or at leall two of them, had
come fecretly on board, and concealed ihemfelves
from the Captain's knowledge till after the fhip
had failed. 'The negroes, on the contrary, affert-
edi that they wrought even in heaving the anchor;
and that this very tailor had often witnetred the
cruelty with which they were treated by the Cap-
tain. The tailor related, that the Captain had
alto treated him cruelly, and prodoced a rope's
end with which he been beaten. The Lord
Mayor gave the tailors Tome money; and the far-
ther inveiligation of the affair was deferred to a
future day; on which it was ordered that Captain
tAker Should alto attend.

William Sumner, a feaman, was yellerilay
charged by Alderman LE MESULIEL with having
prefented a falfe certificate, purporting to be a
certificate granted to Smith, lately belong-
ing to his Malay's chip Hannibal, in order to re-
ceive tome prize-money due for captures made by
the Hannibal. The prifoner, on his examination,
laid he received the certificate of Smith, at Ja-
maica,and it appearing by certificatei granted him
from his Ma)elty's (hips Flora and Edgar, and
from his givinga fatisfadory account of himfelf
cm board the Hannibal, to one of the Officers, who
attended, that' he was attually the Man he repre.
tented himfelf to be, Mr. La MISVILIIR, in con-
*ration of it being poffible for hint to have re-

A Porter who attends the quays was committed
for Healing a kit of falrnon out of Billingfgaie
market, on Monday let. It was purved by the

nineteen only were found, upon thc;r being about
to take them away ; one of the FelloWthip Porters
law the prifoner take a kit, which he knew from
the mark to belong to the profecutor, and fufpe6l-
- he was not authorized in doing fo, gvve in

A new mode 'of transferring livefloci.—A Dantzic
vetrel had been fo alarmingly infefted with rats,
that the Captain entertained fears for the fafety of
the (hip and crew at fea. She had not long fence
arrived at Liverpool, where the happened to lie
near a !hip taking in cheefe for London • as the
rats on board the Dantzicker were nearly 'half fa.
milked, the Captain- thought this a fair opportu-
nity of getting rid of his old paffengers ; accord-
ingly he placed a plank feveral fucceffive nights
from his vette' to the, cheefe (hip, when the faga-
cious animals (attracted by the fmeU of the cheefe)
deferted the Dantzicker, and took their paffage to
London on board the cheefe (hip.

On Mrs. Chefterman's waking, the was alarmed
to fee her door open, the drelfed herfelf with what
few things the villains had left her, and found her
Rays in the pallage of a neighbouring houfe,

A poor woman of the name of Ward, fome time

body of Mr. T. Young, a farmer and miller of
Challock, Kent, was found dead in a lane leading
out of the Charing road about a mile from his own
houfe. The deceafed was returning from Maid--
(lone market. It is conjectured from a bruife on
the right fide of his neck, juR below his ear, that
his horfe having Ranted at a timber tug, which
bad been left in the road, had thrown him, and in
his fall he had either received a kick from the ani-
mal, or pitching upon his head had diflocated his
neck, and the blacknefs being occafioned by the
coagulated blood. The Coroner's Inquefl return.
ed a verdi& of accidental death ; and it is a fingu.
lar circumflance, that his father met his death in
a fimilar manner.

ANOTHER INFERNAL MACHINE.-••-.111R French
Papers received yefterday mention a molt horrible
conception which was attempted to be carried into
effed by a mifcreant at Lyons. He had hired a
fort of (fable having an entrance from the ftreet ;
in thii he had dug a_pit about fix feet fquare, and
twenty in depth. This was covered by planks
moving on a fwivel, which at one end were con-
fined only by a flender thread. There was a lateral
hollow in one fide of the pit filled with ftraw, which
by an apparatus he could fet On fire, for the pur-
pofe of fmothering his viEtims, with a fort of wind-
lakto draw them up, and in an obfcure corner a
grave for their interment. He fir(} tried this In-
fernal isahins on a countrywoman coming to the
market with fruit. t)he being called in, funk into
the trap, and he attempted to fet the ftraw on
fire : in his hafte he happily failed, and being af-
frighted by her loud and reiterated cries, lie took
to lii ht. The vgnmazi was extricated' by the
hei • . with but little injury. The villain was
