ce ipts of the toll•bar, was not the property of the pro-
secutor, who was the keeper of the bar, but of the
lessee of thetolls ; in consequence of which, Mr. Baron
Hullock, who tried the case, respited the culprits until
the 30th November; in order that the question might
have the consideration of the Judges, who determined
that the indictment was correctly drawn. About a
fortnight ago an order was received by the Under-
'Sheriff, to put the sentence of the law into execution;
and the prisoners being informed of the fact, they im-
mediately, although they fully anticipated a reprieve,
began to prepare for their latter end. Both of them
were Irishmen, and of the Roman Catholic religion,
consequently they were attended by the Rev. Benedict
Rayment, of York, who paid the most unremitting at-
tention to their spiritual welfare.- Camfield was twenty-
three -years of age, and White only twenty-one. The
latter was a remarkably stout man, and previous to his
coming to England, last year, had borne an excellent
character, having lived as stable-Hoy and groom in a
Catholic family, residing near Dublin, from the age of
seven years to the time of his quitting his native
country. A letter from the Clergyman of the parish
in which he resided, dated Bth September, says, "'From
all the inquiries I have made, I firmly believe, that up
to the period of his departure from Ireland (thirteen.
Months since only), he had borne--and universally so—
the character of an honest, sober, peaceable, and in-
dustrious person; but evil communications corrupt
good manners.'" He has left a wife and child to
deplore his ignominious death. It appears that White
.was merely a fictitious name which he assumed, his real
name being Farrell.
When on the drop, the culprits, with the greatest
fervour, repeated every prayer offered up to the Throne
of Grace by the Priest, and White intimated a desire' to
turn to the populace to wish them farewell, but was
advised not to trouble himself any more about this
world, which he was about to quit for ever; conse-
quently he remained silent. After the capi had been
drawn over their faces, and the ropes placed round
their necks, each of them exclaimed, 41 LOAD Jesus,
into thy hands I commit my spirit!" and' immediately
the drop fell. White did not seem to feel many of the
pangs of death, but Camfield was greatly convulsed.
After being suspended one hour they were cut down,
and interred behind the Castle.

COUNTY COURT, KINGSGATE-STREET, HOLBORN.

Thursday, two porters, of Long's Hotel, summoned
a Gentleman who had lodged there, and had paid the
Proprietor's bill, fora demand they had-upon him for
brushing his clothes, cleaning his boots, and performing
several errands. It appeared that the defendant is a
man of considerable wealth, and too unwell to attend,
but declared he knew nothing of the circumstances, ex-
cept admitting that he had staid at Long's seven weeks.
The porters said they took turn month 'about at the
Hotel, that none of the servants received any wages,
and the rule of the porters was to charge one shilling
a-day for brushing each Gentleman's clothes and shoes,
and a shilling or so for each errand—thus, one demanded
twenty-eight shillings for so many days, and nine shil-
lings for messages,;' and the demand of the other was
somewhat similar, but less in amount.
The worthy CIFIAIRbIAN said, that the plaintiffs de•
mands must be admitted for the errands, but that for
boots was somewhat serious in its character. At Long's
they might make long charges, and the sum given to
boots was generally a matter of option. Sometimes
sixpence was given, or a few shillings for a long star
'which often depended upon the servants civility ; if Im-
pertinent, they would be rightly served were they not
alloweJ any. As the defendant could not attend, al-
though he felt a difficulty in allowing it, he would
leave, the reasonableness of the demand to the Jury,
who gave their verdict for about half the amount.

Letters from Berlin state, that the Government intend
introducing a new rate of postage throughout Prussia
on the commencement of the new year.
Thins, 57zir HENRY VIII.—The Town Clerk of the'
Corporation of London, by the directiOn of the City
Tithe Committee, has issued circulars for a conference
at Guildhall, on Friday, the 10th of December instant,
at one o'clock precisely, addressed to twenty-two pa-
rishes, includid in the operation of the above statute.
Thursday afternoon one of the Windsor coaches was
overturned in Piccadilly; by which accident a person of
the name of HOPE had the spine of his back much in-
jured, and was otherwise severely bruised.
Sunday last, as the Bath and Bristol Blue coach was
proceeding from Oxford to London, amongst the pas=
sengers was an Irishwoman with her child, and who had
placed herself at the back of the conch. The poor
woman fell asleep, and dropped the infant. On her
waking, she discovered her loss, and most piteously en-
treated the passengers to help her to seek her infant.
Her entreaties were not hi vain; they took the lamps
from the coach, and retraced their road nearly four
miles, when, having given up all hopes, one of the Gen-
tlemen discoveredat in the middle of the road; and on
taking it up, it did not appear to have the slightest
hurt. On the Gentleman's return to the coach, a Lady,
an inside passenger, requested that she might be allowed
to give her feeble aid to the infant by taking care of it
till they arrived in London. Booth (the coachman's)
conduct was very praiseworthy.
