t.tvourwas again refuted, and a meitage apparent
front the lady was brought down, expreffive of a st ifh
for his immediate depal tore, and declining his eorr-
piny. Mortified and incenkd at this coiduet, and
burning with impatience to behold his charmer, the
defendant pufhed slide the maid, and her mailer, and

the flames. They therefore chiefly direeted their
attention to the bottles on the right and left, which
through their eaertions efcaped injury. The two fu-
gar houfes continued to burn till ten o'clock yeller-
day morning, when they were completely gutted,
and nothing to he fern but bare walls. Out of the

'POLICE, &c.

Yellerday P. !Wolfe, a Jew falefraan, of James-
Oxforel-lireet, underwent a fecond examination

at Marlborough arett, tsr having in his potreenn a
nnantity of regimentals, which he had received from
James Jackfon, belonging to the band of the Life
Guards. _ •

Jackfon, alias Mitchell, Rated, that he was pang
by die houfe of the defendant in July, having is his
hand a pair of leather breeches, when the defendant,
a(ked him if they were for rale ? On being anfwered
in the negative, they, after tome convertation rept&
ing articles for Pale, parted; and wittier., after this,
repeatedly brought regimental cloaks, for which the
defendant paid him five millings each. The "'briefs
carried his full drefsjacket and pantaloons, fiat which
the defendant lent him zys.
On the houfe being (catches!, the defendant ac-
knowledged he bought eleven cloaks of Jackfon, and
alto hiving lent him ads. on the article above Rated.
bat declared his ignorance of the illegality of Curl pro
eeedings.
General Barton had had repeated complaints of
clothes being (Wen from the (tables, and thole men
who were deficient were put under ftoppages kw 31.
tos. being the price of a new cloak. It was Rated
by witnefs that the cloaks had been conflansly oat the
counter of the fhop of the defendant after the fur-
chafe of them. _ _ _ . _

The Magiftrate conceived that this was ti plan
adopted by the defendant; which be would hautrea-
dily availed !timid/ of before a Jery X bet at the cam-'
mending octet bad bronglit this forward menli u
a caution to others, he would he procieded agalon
for having fuch regimentals in his poreffiou; which
would involve him in a very heavy fine. inallaA of
bringing him before a Jory—where, if found glllolty,
he would be traofported for 14 years. •
After fome converfation between the General and
the Magilltat ,e it was fuggefled to the Defendant's
Counfel that he had better plead guilty tofive charges
which had been entered into, or the Whole of them
would be skeided on, which would be easy weighty.
This was readily acceded to, and be was fined asl.
Mr. Comas? told him it was a very dangerous
trade which he followed, and advifed him how he
pradifed it in future. He reminded him of a Lady,
wbc, acting out of town, left her houfe.io care of a
maid ferikat, who, from time to time, had fold to
him all the napkins, table cloths, tee. belonging to her.
milkers, for which be got into a very dangerous fitu-
&don. He concluded, by rtcommending to him to
leave of that toad bonnet's, and get into an /lonia
way of livelihood.
Amy Mortis, another Jew broker,,refiding in Da-
vies-ltrest, was brought op for an offence finsilar to
that of Wolfe's, he bating Ipurehafed, from the fame
Black, one regimental doge. He Rated tilat the
Black, loon after be bought the grd cloak from hit*
brought him tome more; but he refuted to buy them,
unlefi he brought one of hie officers with him.
The Black Iwore, that the reafcn alledged for no:
buying was, becaufe he wanted more for the cloaks
than Harris would give hint. He was then ordered
to pay a bat of 51.
A clarionet was then • produced, which had been
Anlen from the band of the false regiment. M.
Millboufe, i aanfieal ;intentness' maker. fib° 1
duced it, declared it was brought to him. all in
pieces, by a woman, who Paid it had been her hut'
band's :--he declined purchafing it at Aril, till he
was perfuaded the had got it honeftly. The poverty
of the woman, and this percuafion, at IA prevailed
on him to give her fifteen (billings for it. He ad-
mitted, he knew by the mark. that it had belonged to
a military band.
The Magiarate explained to him the nafure of the
offence, and the penalty afcribed by Ad of Parlia-
ment ; however, as he was well fatisfied Mr. Mill-
houfe had purchafed the inarement honefily and
fairly, the penalty would not be enforced ; but he
mull fubmit to relinquilh the clatiunet, which was
accordingly done.
A hackney coachman was fined 405. for charging
a Gentleman more than his fate for a let down from
the India Honfe. Upon its being reprefented to the
Gentleman, who was a foreigner, that the coachman
had a large family, he declared it had been his in
tendon to give his (hate of the penalty, 203. to pub-
lic charity : but, in confeiuence of this reprefenta-
tion, he returned it to the coachman.

Yetterday as a regiment of Volunteers were return-
ing along Blackfriars bridge, the found of the drums
frighted a bull, who run over two boys, one of whom
was feverely cut in the head, and had feveral teeth
knocked out; the other was WOUllitti, but not fo (e-
-venly.
