PARISIAN ANRCDOTE.—A Captain E--, of the Bri-
tish Artillery, entered into Tortoni's Coffee-house,
on the Boulevards with his hat on•-.-a circumstance
which would be excusable to the ignorance of a
stranger, even if it were not a frequent practice here.
A Frenchman, and what is surprising, of notorious
valour, a Colonel of Hussars, walked up to him,
touched him on the shoulder, and desired him to take
his hat off—' It is at any time Impolite,' added he,
and what no man shall do in my presence.' The
British Officer remonstrated, when his impetuous
adversary told him, that if he did not instantly com-
ply, he would turn him out of the room. Captain
with the characteristic coolness of his country,'
replied, there might be some difficulty in that, but
there would be none in exchanging cards ; and he
recommended the latter proposition, both for the
sake of the Ladies and the company. The next
morning Colonel waited on the French °facer,
who at once apologised for what had occurred the
preceding evening, and attributed it to the dl humour
he was in from recent losses at play. ',Ale rote (said
he) all the world knows me; if the Gentleman insists
on my fighting, I must fight him. and would as
readily as eat my breakfast: but his Majesty has
lately confided to me a regiment of Hussars, and this
circumstance would get me in a scrape.' Col.
felt himself completely satisfied with the excuses that
wore offered, and the affair had no other smite.

CRICKET BY CANDLE LIOHT.—A match was played
"a few days ago, by night. on Sedley Green, near
Bexhill, between Mr. S. Beaching and Mr..l. Tho-
mas, to be decided in one innings, which was won by
the former. On this:occasion lanthorns were placed
on various parts of the ground, and upwards of one
hundred persons witnessed the nocturnal contest, in
the course of which the lanthorns were knocked tot
• pieces.
DREADFUL OUTRAGE.—. 4 match at cricket was
played on the Nottingham Ground, on Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday, between seven of Ratcliff
and bur of Cropwell on one side, and ten of Lei-
cester, with Mr. Sharp, of Barrow, on the other, for
fifty guineas. The interest excited by this match was
so great, that marquees and booths were fixed up on
the forest, and the company was almost as great as
at the races. Several of the marquees were left on
the ground on Monday night. and in that which was,
erected tot the use of the Leicester players, Mrs.''
Chapman, landlady of the Golden Lion, in Stoney-
street, with her servant and two men, remained, in
order w take care of the wines, spirits, and other
Iproperty, which it contained. About 11 o'clock, a
somber of men, who had been drinking in a booth on
the hill, became exceedingly unruly, and manifested
an intention to create a disturbance. A few of them
Hest. made their appearance at the Leicester marquee,
and deManded drink this was refused, but more
seen coining up, they forced their way in, put out
both fire and lights, and took away chairs, baskets,l
eaMe cloths, five bottles of port, and a considerable
quantity of spirits I the two men were obliged to flee
foe their lives, and Mrs. Chapman and her servant
were most barbarously beaten with bludgeons, were
ihrowd upon the ground, pistols were presented at
'their heads, and their lives were threatened. Atter
dragging theth out of the marquee, and using them
Lin this cruel manner for a . considerable time, the vii.
'Mins retired, it is supposed, to partake of their plun-
der, as their voices could still be heard. Mis. Chap-
man and her servant, beaten till almitst twill.? to
move, were in momentary expectation of the return
of some of the gang, to execute their horrid threats,
often repeated, of taking away their lives, that they
might not appear in evidence against them ;—when
happily they were relieved from this dreadful sus.
pense by the sound of horses' feet, and the voice of
Mr. Chapman, . who had come, attended by two
others, on horseback, to their assistance, in consei.
quence of information conveyed to him. The villains
immediately dispersed but two men hare since
been apprehended on suspicion.
FlREs.—;tirednesdoy night, a little befate nine
o'clock, a fire broke out at the Canteen Manufactory.,
near the World'sxnd, king's-road, Chelsea, which,
in a short time, entirely consumed the house, machi-
nery, and appendages. The flames raged with great
fury for nearly an Jinni, and it was with much diffi-
culty that Mr. Poole's brewery, adjoining, was saved.
Another tire broke out Abut the same time, at
the house of *Mrs. ?arta, in the king's•roatt, but it
was got under without doing much mischief.

3ZDT.7L DIV tCE.

. .
This tdpie still eti'ntinues to be a iubjeci of comfit'-
.
satiou in certa. in ercles, and some affect to consider
it as a poia determined on, that the question shall b.?
broirght' forward. On this subject a pamphlet has
appeared in which the author endeavoure to slew,
that the measure woul4 be necessarily tedious in its,
progress;—extremely doubtful in its issUe—hazardous
to those who may bring it forward, and—highly im
politic from the delicate questions which its success
or failure may involve, and from the family secrecy
which its proceedings must necessarily violate. We 11
shall give the substance of the writer's arguments on
these heads-:

44 The proceedings must be necessarily tedious. It
would be absurd to suppose the proceedings would be
in Doctor's Commons. The rules of the House of
Lords require not only a sentence of separation there,
before a Divorce Bill can be brought 'in, but they
also require a verdict and damages in a court of corn-
mon law; and surely no one contemplates the PaINCE
Reorwr bringing an action for criminal conversation?
Besides, in a snit for separation the defendant may
recriminate, which might give rise to much delay
and embarrassment. The more probable course
would be an attainder, or a Bill of Pains and Penal:
ties, and in ordei to this it would be necessary that
the Princess should appear—she cannot be divorc.ed
unheard, unless a very long time he given her, and
that she refuse to defend herself. The question then
is, whether she Will appear or not ? And against
her appearing—her unwillingness to be tried by a
tribunal where her enemies, or those who act against
her, have hitherto held so very powerful an ascen-
deucy, may be stated as.a fair reason. She once, it
Is true, cast 'smelt upon the protection of the House
of Commons, and was prOtected. Since then she has
been unhappily advised to bee, or rather to travel,
abroad for two years. She took the step contrary
to the most urgent. both oral and written, remou.
strances, it is said. of Mr. WHITBREAD and Mr.
BROUGHAM, who, till that moment, had been her
counsellors. She finds Mr. CANNING' and those who
had been her friends, and who advised her to travel,
now leagued with her enemies. Where then can she
look for steady support ? The most innocent person
in the world might well be expected to shrink from
appearing under circumstances so eminently ha-
zardous, if she were not also the most courageous.
—lt is probable, then, she will not come over, and
the consequence is, that a long Time must needs elapse
before the proceedings can be commenced a!rainst her.
They may be set on foot pro forma at the beginning
of the Session, but six months at least must he al-
lowed for a general citation to appear and ()prise Coe
bill, and no one step can be taken to forward it till
the Session after. Even if she should appear and
plead, a measure of so extraordinary ta nature, wholly
unprecedented, and touching the highest matters of
law and state, cam' it be hurried through like an in•
closure or a turnpike bill. It requires the most deli.
caw investigation, it will be carefully watched, an -I
in every stage they who urge the propriety of delay
will be favourably listened to. It cannot be brought
in without a great deal of preliminary ir.quis p Tswrc
must be Committees of both Houses to examine evi-
dence; Counsel must be allowed to attend on the
part of her Royal Highness as soon as she pleases to
attend ; the Committee ,must report ; and the Report
being considered, leave must, upon mature considera-
tion, be given to britrgity a Bill. Now all this must
cause a delay,, and that delay is ob*iously most ma-
terial to the next objection—the great doubt of its
ultimate success." .
Against this success it is argued, that " a number
of intricate questions must arise in the origin and
progress of the Bill. Some of these spring from the
nature of the measure itself. The law having pro-
vided a peculiar guarantee for the purity of the
Royal bed, viz. rendering its defilement high treason,
it may be asked, whether the law has riot stopt here ?
Was not so high a penalty enacted in lieu of other
safeguards ? At any raw, when a new and peculiar
law is brought in for the occasion, may it not be
asked, whether the old and
.general law has been
enforced ? Do the Government then intend to pro-
ceed criminally, and against whom t If the alledged
treason was committed beyond seas, does the stattite
of Hasav VIII. authorize a trial of this species of
treason within the realm ? Did any of the old laws,
ever contemplate the case of a Queen or Princess'
living separate from her husband, much more living
abroad with his permission ? Besides, all jurisdiction
for offences beyond seas is over natural born subjects,
and hots* can the PRINCE" an alien born, be subject
to trial in England for offences, done beyond seas ?
Have not those who permitted her to reside abroad;
away from her husband, abandoned all right to inquire
into her conduct criminally ? But the die.iculty does
not stop here. The same question may be asked as to
the, proceedings in Parliament. Have not they who
improperly suffered the Paineass to go, given up all,
right to divorce het: (Watts done during her absence ?•
—These questions, and sisanY .ntlterg. *ill be fetind
to spring up at evel.v step that is Wade in this ill-
advised measure. But one of the Most flirmidable
enemies to .i ts ultimate success, wilt be the great length
of time it must take in its proms:, arid in this length
of tiMe may produce such accidents as would render
any further proceeding wholly unnecessary ; what
then beconwi of the supporters of the Divorce Bill ?
Will they not be placed in a very awkward predica-
ment ? They have done their utmost to deptive the
Princess eunatorra ri her succession, and• hate
failed. She is Queen in despite of them ; and in this
view the measure must teem hat ardous to those who
may engage in it. Speaking of probabilities', it can-
not but be suspected that many a Member of Pars
liainent will be apprehensive list any vote he gives
may be laying up tor himself a store of enmity, by
assisting a theasuie Which id not likely to succeed.
—Every man who.,e vote may infinence the deeision
of this question either way; may be efpected to reason
thus i—The Pittscias is said td be guilty, and it is
said there are proofs of it; tout as king as she tentained
in this cointrY, she defiled All her edicts:tries; and

INSOLVENT DEBTOoRS" COURT, SEPT. 4.

There wete more than one hundred cries upon
this day's list.
Dennis McCarthy, Paymaster of the Hereford Re.
giment of Militia, in consequence of Lis being unop-
posesl, was examined by fir. Serjeant RUNNINGTON,
who, upon looking at his schedule, found that his
creditors lived in the county of Hereford, and he
(the Insolvent) had come to London to take the be.'
nefit of the Act, well knowing that his creditorsconld
not tome from Herefordshire to oppose him, which
to him appeared very suspicious. There WKS an item
in the schedule also of 4788. 10s. which was a debt
due to the Crown, contracted by him in his official
capacity of Paymaster.
Mr. Serjeant RUNNINOTOL—Are you still in the
situation of Paymaster ?
M-Carthy.—Yes ; I am still Paymaster, but bare
.been suspended.
Mr. Serjeant RIINNINGTONe.•I should like to kno*
What are the grounds on the part of the regiment for
-impending you ?
McCarthy.—l know no other grounds but my being
deficient in making tip my accounts to the regiment,
for which the Colonel of the regiment is answerable
to the Crown and I have satisfied the Crilnnel,
having found sureties, who are answerable to the Co.
lonel (or the money. He had also given notice to his
sureties, that he hid petitioned to receive the benefit
of the act, and they had consented. Here he pro-
duced a letter from them, which be wished the
Learned Serjeant.to read. •
Mr. Serjeant RusnaNurots.—l de not wish to know
whether your sureties do or do not consent to your
being discharged; but I think it is my duty, before
I discharge you, to order that the Colonel and the
Agent of the regiment be served with notices of your
application to be discharged, and I therefore remand
you to give those notices.
James Webber, a rag-merchant, was opposed in his
discharge by Mr. David Polleck, upon the ground
of his having contracted a debt of 457 4s. 11d. with
the detaining creditor, a ragitterchant in the no-*
rough, in a fraudulent manner. Mr. Pollock said,
that the insolvent sent a written order to the detaining
creditor for one ton of white rags, which he ordered
to be sent to his warehouse immediately, and he would
pa] for them on delivery ; when delivered he refused
to•pay for them, without stating his inability : he
sold the rags the next day, and pocketed the money.
The Court ordered him to be remanded.
Josiah Wood was remanded for concealing pro-
perty to the value of £l5O.
All the opposed cases were remanded till Thursday,
and the Court was occupied the remainder of the day
with cases both unopposed and unimportant.

SEPT. 5.••-•-GREIG V. STRICKI.EY.
Mr. Greig had been for 25 years a pastry baker,
in the Piazza, Covent Garden, and finding his busi-
ness rather on the decline, he consigned his property
to his son, who had for some time been employed in
the city of London Tavern. Besides other debts, he
owed to one woman the sum of £1067 16s. 4d. moat
of which was borrowed money. He had formerly
been in prison, but had been discharged in August,
1815, after much opposition by Mr. ANDREWS. on
the part of the caeditors. Although he knew himself
unable to pay his debts he gave a promissory note
for the above sum to the woman's husband (she
having married since he borrowed it), and pledged
himself to pay the whole in four years. He continued
to contract debts in this embarrassed situation, and
to make engagements which he knew it was totally
impossible for him to fulfill. Besides, he kept no
books and could not tell what were the actual pro-
fits of trade.
On the above facts, which were stated by the in-
solvent on his examination before the Court this day,
Mr. BARRY made a very proper comment, and in a
luminous speech argued, it was impossible for the
Court to doubt for one moment what motives had
actuated the insolvent.
After reviewing the case the Learned SYRJEAWT
observed, that he considered this case a most fla-
grant one. The prisoner wemed by his conduct to
have gone on contracting debts without the smallest
idea of ever paying them. He, therefore, wished it
to he publicly Intimated that the prisoner was now
remanded finally for gross injustice to his creditors.
It was a species of-extreme fraud and deserved cen-
sure. Why could he pretend to have acted fairly and
honestly, when he had the boldness to leave his cre-
ditors unpaid, and give over his property to his son
After a severe reprimand from the Judge the insol-
vent was remanded.
John Jones was discharged, after amending a slight
error in the schedule, which he did in Court.
OttEEN V. ERIGLIN.
Mr. Briglin was opposed for concealing his pro-
perty, and for giving undue preference to his credi-
tors. The case was fully investigated, but no satis-
factory evidence in support of the opposition being
offered, "the prisoner was discharges.
The Learned SERJEANT observed, that he consi-
dered it his duty now to state, that it was his inten-
tion to appoint a Receiver-General, for the purpose
of collecting monies or property which insolvents
might have to their possession. He was determined
to hear no petition whatever, however urgent the
reasons given in its support might be, unless the
monies or property of the insolvent were paid to the

Receiver.
; had John Davis, a Jew, was opposed by Mr.
.Al.l,4aws. From the circumstances of this case,
which occupied the attention of the Court above three.
bouts, it appeared the insolvent Davis had been dis-
charged under the sanction of this Court in July,
1814, when he resumed his business. He had pro.
petty to a great amount, but not one farthing had
since been paid to his creditors. He had followed
'event' occupgions, viz.—a glass dealer, a navy
agent, an orange merchant, a shell fish mer-
chant, &c. Btc. On examination, his trade in shell
fish turned out to be merely. a small retail shop of
oysters and of crabs, which he kept.
Mr. ANDUIVS—You are a Jew, Sir, I believe ?
Insolvent—Yes, and I will die one too; but I am
sot a Jew in all the principles of these people. (We
suppose in the honesty of the Jews.)
Mr. ANDIMWS—Did you not sometime keep a
hotel in Brydges•street, Covent-Garden, fOr vet.
teens ladies ? insolvent-4 never was so fortunate.
In the course of a humorous examination, which
alluded much amusemiptelc was &twos' dm chi,

~., ~_

debt for 'Web the Waste was now In test* }ma
been incurred by hitn. in 1810, but omitted in Ills
schedule in 1814. He said thii omission had hap-
pened by mistake. His lease was disposed of by him
to a Mr. Rodwell for 4200, from which sum he said
he had expended 4125, in paying the price of the
deeds on whichise had obtained his lease, and in li-
quidating his rent and taxes. He endeavoured tol
account for the balance of that sum, £75, by saying
he had met with severe losses in trade chips two
months. By strict examination, however, it came
out he was only a retailer of oranges in Covent-garden
market, for which he unquestionably received ready
money, by the usual practice of )tkk trade. A vatiety
of other circumstances, tendigg VI confirm the suipi
eions of the Court respecting tht prisoner's conduct,
were detailed, which we think it unnecessary to insert.
The Court deemed the prisoner a very unfit person
to obtain the advantage of the Insolvent Act. No
case had been made out to justify his' being dis•
charged. His having/no books, no papers, and no
witnesses of his transactions, were no favourable
symptoms in his case, and the Court considered his
statement totally unworthy of credit. He was finally
remanded. On leaving the bar in custody of an
Officer, the Jew, to mark his contempt, gave one of
his uncircumcised creditors a severe blow on the eye,
bidding him take that for his money, as he ►Mould
never have a shilling. The man's eye seemed den-
, gerously cut.

POLICE.

SOWASTRZ/M—Yesterday Wm. &HUI, a well-known
character, was brought to the Office, and underwent
A long examination, charged with being concerned
with another in breaking open the house of Mr. Thos.
Bonfield, a boot and shoemaker in Pickett-street, and
stealing a large quantity of boots, shoes, and other
property. It appeared, that on the night of the 10th
May last, or early on the following morning, the
house of the prosecutor was broken open, and the
abcfve property stolen. Information having been
sent to the Office, Richard and Thomas Limberick,
belonging to the Office, had suspicion of the prisoner
and another man. On the next Monday they fol-
lowed them to Phenix-street, St. Giles's, where they
entered a house ; the Limbericks soon after ftillovved
them ins they found a man of the name of Jeremiah
Morgan at work, as a shoemaker, in a building at
the back of the house, of whom they inquired for the
prisoner and his companion ; Morgan denied any
knowledge of the men ; hoWever, it turned out, the.
house being connected with Crownxtreet as well as
Phenix-street, they had contrived to escape, in-conse-
quence of having ascertained that the Limbericks
were, in pursuit of them. The Limbericks proceeded
to examine the premises, and observed, through the
window of a room which was fastened, the toes of
some boots and shoes projecting through some straw.
They inquired of Morgan for the key of the room,
which he denied any knowledge of, though it turned
out afterwards that be either had the key, or knew
where it was. The Limbericks, however, afterwards
got at the booti and shoes; and on Mr. Banfield's
viewing them, he identified them to be his property.
The landlord of the house proved that he had let the
room where the boots and shoes were found to the
prisoner, for which he was to pay Ss. 6d. a-week.—
Jeremiah Morgan was, in consequence of his suspi-
cious conduct, taken into custody, and tried at the,
following Sessions, when the evidence not being suf-
ficient, he was acquitted. Yesterday he was admit-
ted an evidence against Smith, who was fully com-
muted for trial.
HATTOM CAROM—Yesterday 'William GM:, a
young man, about 18 years of age, was brought up
for final examination, being charged by Charles Mac-
kenzie, a black man, with robbing him, on Friday
last, of four shillings. It was stated by Mackenzie,
that he got his living by selling matches and child-
ren's books; that he sat down in a field by the road-
side leading to Hampstead, about twelve o'clock on
the above day, to count what money he was worth,
and put it down before him. At the same instant,
the prisoner, in company with three others, coming
by, snatched up the money, and ran off. Witness
pursued him, and gave him in custody of an Officer.
The prisoner denied the charge, and having a good
character, for want of sufficient evidence to corrobo-
rate the charge, he was dismissed.
A woman of the name of Jolsastsa Park was finally
examiaed, being charged with feloniously breaking
open, on Tuesday morning last, the shop of Mark
Herne, of New-court, broker, and steal
ing thereout a large iron weight, his property, which
was traced to have been sold by the prisoner at the
shop of a dealer in old iron in the same neighbour.
hood. The prisoner was fully committed. •
QUEEN-SQUARE.—Mrs. Elizabeth -Swinney, who
keeps a public-house in William-street, Pimlico,
charged Miry Sullivan, her servant, with robbing her
of a £1 note and 225. in silver. The prosecwrix
stated, that she is a married woman, but her husband
belongs to the navy ; her sister lives in the house
with her, for the purpose of assisting her in carrying'
on the business. About nine months ago, prisoner
came to live with her as a servant, and she thought
herself fortunate in getting her, not having been long
in the publican line, and prisoner coming from a.
public-house where she had lived five years ;.she
therefore placed great confidence in her, and so much
were they pleased with hor attention to the busihess,
they treated her as one of themselves : she ute her
•
meals with them, and slept in the same bed with wit.
ness's sister. The prosecutrix stated further, that
they were very particular in keeping their books, and
made up their accounts every six months ; she kept
her Bank notes in the middle drawer of a looking-
glass, which stood on a table in her fed-room. At
the end of the first sir moßths after prisoner came
into her service, they found, on making up their ac-
counts, that ar3o was missing out of the notes, and
being determined to make them up in future every
three months, on doing so a short time ago they
found a defidency of upwards of £BO, but could not
imagine how it had gone. As prisoner was the only
servant in the house, and no other person had access
to witness's bed-room they began to suspect her, more
especially as she had bought several articles of wear-
ing apparel of rather an expensive kind. They there-
fore obtained a young. wonAjof daughter of one of
their friends, to come ioto the house as au assistant,
'and set her to watch the ,prirmets wh9' had lately
give* them wasting to leave, as she was going to be
astriki. 6onte abort titan inn, expecting to be

called *pm by her bratllo and dialer, she Wad put
up their several sums in Bank notes, on each or which
she had written her name. Mr. Deady's collector
walled a few days ago, and as she had unexpectedly
received a large sum of silver, in part payment of a
debt of £5O, she asked him if lie would take some of
it, and he readily assented to take £5, which occa-
sioned her to take five notes from the parcel she had
made up for 'him, and on e.:ch of which the had writ-
ten her same. These five notes she had put back
into her drawer in the glass, and the next day one of
them was missing. Prisoner was to leave her service
on Monday last, and had packed up her box for that
Purpose ;. but having boasted to the young woman
above mentioned of her intention of having some fine
things to be married in, prosecutrix determined to
have her box searched, and applied to a Bow-street
officer for the purpose. George Jones, one of the
Bow-street parole, living at Pimlico, stated, that on
Monday afters' on lie went into Mrs. Swinnty's
house, as was his daily custom, to drink a pint of
beer, when prosecutrix informed him of her intentions.
He said he would speak to the girl, and accordingly
asked the prisoner if site had any objection to his
starchily her box ? She answered she had not ; on
which be desired her to open it, and under her clothes
be found several very handsome new silk shawls and
handkerchiefs, half a dozen chemises, now produced,
and in a corner at the bottom of the box, a one pound
note, and a small bag, with 22 shillings in three shil-
ling tokens, and other pieces of silver coin. The
prosecutrix swore to the note being one of those she
had designed for the distiller, and her name was
written on it, as she had before said. The prisoner,
on being asked if she had any thing to say, answered
that she picked up the note in the tap-reom, and as
to the other things, the chemises, &c. the had them
before she came to live with the prosecutrix. The
silver she said was money she had saved. Remanded
for a further examination.
QUVEN-SQUARL—Tuesday night Colonel Herbert,
his son, (Captain Herbert,) and the Captain's Lady,
who had just arrived from Calais, took a hackney-
coach at their residence, at the west end of the town,
to carry them to the stage for Greenwich. When
the coachman drew up to the door, the Lady of Capt.
Herbert gave a female servant two small boxes and
a mahogany caddie to give the coachman to put on
the seat of the coach ; the servant gave each box se-
parately, and the coach drove off; when they stopped
at a house near the house where the Greenwich stage
coach.goes from, the hackneycoach-man delivered his
luggage, and drove away; after he was gone, on
examining the luggage, it was found that the maho-
gany caddie was missing, which contained Bark of
England notes to the amount of 450, besides other
money in specie. The hackney-coachman attended
yesterday morning to a summons, and gave such a
satisfactory account to the Magistrate, that lie deli.
vered all the boxes placed in his care, at the house
which the family stopped at before they took the
coach for Greenwich, that the Magistrate discharged
him; and the Colonel gave him some money for his
trouble.—The Officers are using great exertions to
recover the property.
MA R LIMROUGH•STREILT.Mary Ann Greated was
charged with attempting to set fire to tile house in
which she lived, in James-street, Oxford-road. It
appeared, from the evidence of the landlord, that the
house in question is the property of the prisoner's
mother, which he rents of her. On a late hour on
Tuesday night he was alarmed by a strong smell of
fire ; lie irrnnediately searched the lower part of the
house, but he could discover nothing ; he then pro.
ceeded to the epper part, and on advancing towards
the prisoner's door he was almost suffocated by the
smoke which came from thence. He rushed in, and
found the bed and several other things in the room
on fire, which be immediately began to extinguish.—
The prisoner was in the apartment ; but, to his utter
surprise, she did not assist in putting out the fire,
and lie gave her in charge to a watchman. Witness
further said, he knew no reason for her conduct. only
that she quarrelled with her mother during the week,
and that she must have done it to be revenged. The
case not being established to the satisfaction of the
Magistrate, the prisoner was ordered to find sureties
for her good behaviour.
James Powell and *Warn Ridgway, two old offen-
ders, were charged with stealing a copper, a number
of window blinds, and other property, to a large
amount.—Pyall, an officer, deposed. that he met the
prisoners about a week ago, at a law hour at night,
with the property in their possession : knowing their
proficssion, he questioned them, but they not giving
a satisfactory account of themselves, he took them to
the watch-house. Since then he made inquiries, and
learned that an uninhabited house, 7, Park-place,
New-road, fitted up to be let ready famished, 11?
been broken into, and robbed of nearly all the ferni
tune ; part of which answered the description of that
found on the prisoners. He then produced two eke.
leton keys he found on them, one of which would
readily pick the lock of the above house: in conse-
quence of this, and other evidence being expected, the
prisoners, were again remanded.

Saturday last were executed, upon the Castle.hill,
Norwich, T. Thody, aged 25 ; D. Harwood, aged 22 ;
and Thomas Moy, a;ed 32. The two first were those
concerned in the riots at Downham. Thody. when
brought out, evinced great fear, which he expressed
by convulsive shrieks, and was obliged to be sup-
ported by several men. Moy (the sheep stealer) as
well as Harwood, suffered with firmness the dreadful
sentence of the law.
The house of a Gentleman on Richmond.tetrace,
at Clifton, was robbed last week in the following
manner : some villains observing through the window
that the cloth was laid for a large dinner party, and
that the door had been incautiously left open, entered
the parlour, and carried off 16 silver stable-spoons.
EITMIVE ROBElUtir..—About three weeks ago,
Jeii.t BucK, Esq. and family, residing in Stafford-
place. Pimlico, went to a watering place in the coun.
try, and_ incautiously left the house without any per-
son to take care of it during their absence. The fa.
milar returned home on Tuesday last, and found that
the house had been broken open, and completely
stripped of every thing portable ; the persons who
committed the robbery did not leave any article of
value behind them which could be easily moved.—
The value kt the property stolen exceeds five hundred
pounds, and from the magnitude of the articles, there
must have been MOP thaikpee of two poisons ann.
