21ath:w DrtiOn was found guilty of haling a

re% It appealed that this man had been invited
to drink tea with the profeentrix, and, after tea,
The went out to get. come Holland's Geneva, to
treat him before his departure ; in her ahlCnce he
took the opportunity of fecreting this handkerchief.

A man named Weld was indided for Reeling a
pair of limes from the (bop of Mr. Ford, a (hoe.
maker, in Windmill ilreet. The prifoner went
into the (hop under pretence of purchafing a pair
of (hoes for his fon, and took the opportunity of
fecreting another pair. Mr. Ford had flifpeofted
him before, having often come on the fame errand,
and ordered his man to watch him, when he found
the (hoes in his pocket. 1
The prifoner made an ingenious defence ; he
raid he had purchafed the (hoes, and gave Mr.
Ford half a guinea to pay for both pair, hut that
be rather chofe to take him to Marlborough (tree,
and accufe hint of (haling the (hoes. The man,
who was the only witoefs, was called up, and anted
as to this fa° t he Paid that the ;lamer had &den
the (hoes ; but admitted Mr. Ford received the
half guinea, which he fent to him at Marlborough.
(treat, being fo gitased at the time that he forgot
to return it. _ _ _ _

The Chairman obferved, that the love of juf.
Tice Teemed to be more predominant in the mind
of Mr. Ford than felling his goods. The July
acquitted the prifoner.—This finithed the bufincfs
of the Sefbons.

peared that the defendant lodged in his houfe,

prac-
tice to breed a dilturbance in the honk, and adault

him, and that he was the mildell man pußible--
The Magifirate informed him, that (even perfons

with rarefies, the pugnacious (drool mailer was
concluded to Friths.
A very young boy was ebarged by a baker in
Cleweland-firset, with Reeling a quartern loaf ; he
western to take it up, and when purfued to drop

He was committed for trial.

ing and murdering a child in the ueighbouthood'
of Chelrea, were brought before Me. Coe ANT, and
underwent another examination.
Several perfonsattended who had been difpatch
ed by the Magistrates to the neighbourhood of
Chelfea, to make diligent inquiries refpeding a
child having been loft, when they all hated, that,
alter very particular inquiries. they could not learn
Ilse leafi tidings of any fuch ciacuntftance having
taken place.
The girl accounted for the child not being found
at the place the deferibed, by afferting the fill-peel-
ed her father had taken it away, as be got up at
five o'clock the following morning; but the Ma-
gifirate did not give credit to this talc, for the man
was difcharged. The woman was committed to ,
the Houfe of Correelion for further examination.

Role another child in a village on their way from
Scotland, and took into a barn and (tripped it al

tiers, who have undergone feveral private exami-
nations, upon the charges with being concerned in
plundering the (hip Galen ; two trunks were pro.
dueed there, which had been brought balk by the
!hip from America. They were filled with very
different forts of goods from what were originally
entered at the Cullom Houk ; but this (hip hav-
ing failed from the River ten months ago, makes
it a difficult matter for many of the witneffes to
recoiled the Wolff's. There was not time to ex.
amine one half of there perfons, and they adjourn.,
ed the farther examination till a future day.
Two men and a woman were cot Saturday exa-
mined on a charge of forging feamen's wills. It
appeared they were connected with Child, who
was executed (mot time fince for obtaining mo-
o:), from Le Mefurier's houfe, by a fimilar thecies
o forgery. They are conneeed with other per-
funs not taken, and therefore we deem it right to
withhold their names from the public, as well as
the details of he feab given in evidence.

feloniontiy !leafing a confiderable quantity of Oy.
tiers, the property of Stephen Overall, of that

informed the priiiincr, that fume doubts having
been fuggelled on his trial, by his Connie!, whe-
ther the offence amounted to a larceny or not ?
hi. fentcnce had been reipited, that this effential
fact might be clearly afccrtained, which was now
done; and under the authority of this decifion, it
became his duty to inform him, that the crime he
had committed was certainly a felonious one, and
for which he mull now receive a fentence propor.
tinnate to the offence. The Court, however, in
confederation of th,t length of his confinement, and
a recommendation in his favour on the part of his
lenient profecutor, had changed their intended fen.
tence of tranfixwtation, into that of imprilimment
in the County Gaol for one year from the time of
his convidion ;—which was palled upon him Re-
v:H.-Jingly.
The Chairman exhorted the prifnner to profit

tl.at any perfon in future convicted in that Court
of a fimilar offence, would, unquellionably, be
traniported for the term of fcven years.
A Ihort time ago the body of a male child was

refidence of Sir Stoner SMITH'S father, haring a
foreign appearance, and wearing a kind of military'
undrels. It is fuppofed he mutt have been a long
time tinder water; but no probable conjeCture can
be formed, as to who he is, or in what read he
can have been loft.

A few days fince the body of a new born infant,
with a piece of red tape tied round its neck, was
taken up by a bargeman in the river, between Rye
and Newingden, in bent. The little innocent, it
is fuppofed, was thus facrificed to conceal the
flame of its unnatural rattler.
On Friday feinnight a fine girl, about two
years of age, youngea child of Mr. H. Dixon, of
Brook Farm, near Liverpool, fell a viairn to fire.
The nurfery maid having left her a few minutes,

very genteely dreffed, went into the Hungerford
Coffee-houfe, in the Strand, and under pretence of

he took a raver watch, and got off without detec-
tion, though not without fufpicion. The watch
was afterward; found to have been pledged at a
pawnbroker's in York-Rreet,
Saturday fennight a labouring man of the name
of M.Kenxie, fell into the EaR harbour of Green-
ock, and was drowned. His body when found, was
carried to the difpenfary ; but the means ufed to
reftore life were tried on him in vain. Another
man the fame day fell into the harbour, near the
Mid-quay, but was Caved by a mailer of one of the
Leith traders.

Wednefday evening, between the hours of fix
and (even o'clock, a clerk to Megrs. Pigou and
Andrews, of I.othbury, was hunted at the Poll.
Office by a gang of villains, and his pocket book
taken, containing a fol. cheque, a el. bar.k note,
and fome papers of bufinefs, with which they
efeaped. Conllables should be Rationed to pro-
ud perform attendiug at the Poll Office.
A few days ago a gang of ruffians joßled (owe
officers of the Artillery in St. Margaret's-ftreet,
near the Ordnance Office, and fucceeded in pick-
ing their pockets. The officers purfued thefe
enif-
ereants for a confiderable way, but they effeeted '
their efcape by the back of the War Office. The
ringleader of the gang had a Scotch bonnet co
his head, and is fuppofed to be a foldier.
Thuriday night a gentleman palling through
Little Newport-Ilreet, was hullied by leveret gen-
teel area-rd fellows, near a paßry-cook's lloop,
where a confiderable mob had colleaed, and rob—

Monday, in the dolk of the evening, as a young
r man, in the employ of Mr. Chadwick, Nine
Elms, was paling along the lane leading from
South Lambeth to the place called Lark Hall, a
fellow came behind him, and after throwing him
down. held him on the ground, while an accom-
plice robbed him of a tint of mourning, which be
was carrying to a cußniner, together with a finall
furn in Over and halfpence.

Early on Saturday morning the lionfe of a poul-
terer in Clare-market, was broke open, and among
other articles, three dozen of fowls were taken,
although a watchman was flatirr.cd immediately
uppofite the door.
Some flight gloats of an earthquake were felt
at Mans vn the 24th

I has invented a new game, which lie calls the game
of War. It is played in the following manner:—
Six hundred and fc venteen painted boxes are placed
upon a table, fo as to reprefent, by the difference
of their colours, an unequal ground, with fields,
villages, rivers, moraffes, mountains, and other
inequalities. Each player has a number of pieces
repretenting infantry, cavalry of the line, light
cavalry, artillery of the line, field pieces, etc.—
The moves of each piece are regulated according
to its value in the game. Each party holds in the
rear a tirong town, vitich ferves as a point of re-
treat, and a place of arms. The taking of this
fortrefs decides the conceit. The game confills of
a number of combinations ; defiles are taken, en-
trenchments are thrown up, villages and towns
burnt; in fhort, a complete fyftem of war is car-
ried no, which, with flcilful players, may be con- I
timed for leveral weeks before the contell is ter-
minated.
This game has already acquired much
celebrity in Germany. and has lately been intro-
duced into France.
Ben Jnhnfon fays, " Princes learn no art truly
but that of horfemanfhip ; the reafon is, the brave
beat is no flatterer : he will throw a Prince as
loon as his groom." The adulation which Princes
receive in all countries, from their infancy, is
certainly ill calculated to make them f-now truly i
their duty as Sovereigns. To thole in the habits
of attending a Court, this is perfealy well known:
to fuch as are accullomed to Courts. the following I
pairage from Fabian's Chronicle, may afford at
once information and amufement Henry the ;
Sixth, when eight months old, fat in his mother's
lap, in the Parliament Chamber ; the Speaker
made a famous prepolition, in which he laid muck
of the Providence of GOD, aho had endowed the
realm with is toward a Prince andfiverrign Governer!"
Such bas been the mildnefs of the feafon in the

county of Kent, that there are now in the orchard
of Mr. Seasstooa, near Mereworth Church, in
the neighbourhood of Tunbridge town, two apple
trees, full of apples, snore than an inch in di.,
meter, upon the Midfummer (hoots. Their trees
yielded, this feafon, very fine crops of apples, of
a great fize.
A gentleman of Greenock, pulled in his garden
on the rII of January, an apple full three inches in
circumference.

The rain was lately fo revere and ince:int at
the file of May as to prevent the inhabitants from
making fait; and feveral yr frels which went thither
for a fupply have been obliged to return in ballad.

The Cow Pock has been, at length, introduced
into India. After frequent fsiltrres, the difeafe ap
peared in one child at Bombay, and went, fut.
cefsfully, through its ordinary cotirfe.
