gyman had read the text, and was proceeding with the
sermon, an elderly man (a stranger), of Ann stain
arose, and addressed the congregation, stating that :!!::
discourse that the clergyman was about to deliver na;
false. The congregation felt alarmed at such strange
conduct, and the clergyman remained silent until tite
man was conducted by the sexton out of the church,
and lodged in the poor house. The fellow will giro
no account of him-elf, except that he has been thirtmi
times imprisoned in different gaols for the like offence.
Tuesday sennight, two boatmen having been hired
by Lieutenant THOMAS, R.N. to convey him to Lost.
withiel, on their return from thence they took on hoard
two men and a woman to take them to Fowey. They
had reached to within a mile of that place, when one of
the boatmen said he would not row any more, but
would hoist the sails. The other boatman strongly ob-
jected to this, and desired him not to -do it. -His com-
panion, however, obstinately persisted, and just as the
sails were up, a sudden squall upset the boat, when
James Stephens, one of the boatmen, with a pas.
senger, named Robert Keast, of Lanlivery, were un-
fortunately drowned, and have each left a widow and
three children to lament their unhappy fate: neither of
the bodies have been taken un.
