MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Saturday last, eight notorious vagabonds were
prosecuted by the Slendicity Society, three of whom
are well known at the west end of the town, viz.
John Fentrick, John Thompson, and Joseph Liverpool.
John Fenwick is a black, and was apprehended by
the Society's Officers, in Park-lane, last July ; four
other blacks attempted to rescue him; after a severe
struggle he was secured. This fellow, some time
previous, drew a large clasped knife upon S. Pyall,
one of the Mary-la-bonne beadles, and effected his
escape. The beadle was subpoenaed, and gave evi-
dence, and Fenwick was sentenced to be imprisoned
three months, and to be twice flogged. John Thomp-
son is a strong able seaman, and continually infested
the parish of St. George, in which be was apprehend-
ed, abusing an elderly Lady who refused him relief.
Many complaints have been made against this men-
dicant, and he is supposed to be the same fellow that
insulted two Ladies some time ago, in or about
South Audley-street, who were so alarmed that they
took refuge in h Gentleman's house. He was sen-
tenced to be ►mprisoned six months. John Liverpool
is an old offender, and has been apprehended four
times by the Society's officers. He was sentenced to
six morals imprisonment.

The house of Mrs. ABBOTT, in Oakley-street, Lam
beth, was entered a few nights back by means of
false keys, and robbed.of a quantity of plate and ape
parel, besides seven 1:10 notes, and tea Cl notes,
with which the thieves escaped.
Sunday the house of Mr. WILSON, of Portland-
street, Walworth Common, was entered, while the'
family were at Church, and robbed of a quantity of
plate, &c. of considerable value.
Bow-STREET.—Yesterday, Henry Wilmot, other-
wise Lance Corporal Henry Wilmot, of the Chatham
Division of Marines, a genteel young man, was
brought before the Magistrate under the following
circumstances :—A serjeant in the corps stated, that
he enlisted the prisoner himself in February last ;
since which time, till very lately, he had attended to
his duty, was a clean soldier, and took his drillings
fairly ; but about four or five days ago he obtained
twenty pounds from the Paymaster *jean, under
pretence of having been sent for it by the Captain,
and immediately coming up to London, he set up for
an exquisite. The Serjeant added, that he had much
trouble in finding him out; but he at leng+h appre-
hended him in his present fashionable dress, as, he
was entering the box lobby of the Coburg Theatre.—
This evidence was conclusive, and the prisoner was
sent to the Savoy Guard ; and the Serjeant went to,
Chatham to make his report accordingly.
GUILDHALL.—SOme of the Officers of the Parish
of St. Sepulchre's, applied to the Magistrate for an
order to an inhabitant of their Palish to pay his
tithes. He was of the Society of Friends, commonly
denominated Quakers, and the ground of his refusal
was, that the Vicar or Curate of the Parish acted
most illegally in not putting up his prayers for the
Queen in the Liturgy, and that by so doing, he had
forfeited his claim to the tithes. This the inhabitant
had stated he was ready to prove by some old Acts
of Parliament, but he had not come forward to
do so, and the Parish Officers now requested that
an order aught be issued ont against him for the pay-
ment of tithes, which. if not attended to, the payment
would be enforced by other meastges.—The -order
was immediately granted.
