hot ►cmats, and Ciarcet which were removed fur pit
applei, grapes, peacnes, nectarines, and

Wantancs To SKRVANTs.—We sincerely tt ust

operate as a warning to those persons who bit
situation of servants. The melancholy fate of the
dividual in question is so pregnant with admonit
to the class of society in which he moved, that
consider it our duty to add something to tire v,
brief notice taken of hint in the account LA his est
tion.—William Bull had been out of place about
months, when taking a walk to Chalk Farm, he hi
pened to meet with a person of the name of Jose
• Green, who, eon-ring into conversation, sons
suaded Bull to acct.:ll4ly him to a public house,
Tottenham-coart-road. where, at length, they j tit
some others in card playing. Bull presently
S 3 the amount of lour pounds ; and, nut having
cash, Green, whose occupation it was to ens
such characters as his new companion Bull( ti
this opportunity to suggest the robbing of
Cartwright's house, and proposed to divide the spoi,
Having once prepared Bull for the execution of
nefarious scheme, he next introduced bins into
society of Fitawilliams and Wilkins. The former
these depredators was notorious on the town ;
the latter bad been tried at the Old Bailey, for thi
ing, when only twelve years old, and had also bee,
transported for seven years. Fitzwillianis, Wilk;

prevailed on to cuinmit the burglar: in the dwellir
house of Mr. Richard Cartwright. All three were
'taken on the spot; while Green, the contriver of
burglarious deed, had the dexterity to avoid their fate.
Fitzwilliams and Wilkins were, it has been seen, both
practised thieves ; but this burglary was Bull's 6rr
offence of any kind, and on this account Mr. Cart-
wright tried every means to rescue him front execu-
tion. But the greatest Law Authorities were indict
ble in his case; as it was considered that no mat
could repose with safety on his bed, unless all serval
were intimidated by the terrors of justice from per,
crating such crimes. Bull, indeed, from the nioment
he was taken up, entertained no. hopes of clement-
He pleaded guilty when arraigned at the Bar, and,
withdrew the plea only to accommodate his associates
in their common crime. Justice is now appeased i
his death ; but his punishment will be ineffectual
