aping her htifbanti,in conkquence of which a war
rant w.ts ilfued for his apmfion. About Pout
o'clock t contiable went to his houfe; the hulhand
anfw•ered the knot k at the done, and denied hirnfell
to the ern:table, but at length acknowledged be wa,
the pc don. This priforrer took the conliable into the
kitchco, ‘t here he went into a violent pal Eon, and
tol,l his mother he would do for her (meaning his
wile) that. night. The prifoner inquired of the con.
Rable tt hat time the Magihrates would be lilting,
and, on being infor teed (even o'clotk,he declared he
would not go till that time; he inliantly feized a
bayonet from a mulket, and told the conftable to
keep off; or he would Rah him; he ran out of the
bottle into Wat wick•llreet, entered a bottle, and
jumped out of the one-pair of itairs back window,
and made his efcape.—ln the comic of the even-
ing the conftable met him by chance in the neigh.
bourhood of the office, when he took him into cur.
tody, and brought him before the Magi:hates.—
The wife attended, and Rated various asls of
ill-
treatment, and once in particular, that he bad at.
tempted to flab her with a knife.
He was ordered to be committed to Tothill.

went in purfuit of it in vain. Between five and
fix o'clock, as two of the link boys belonging to
Covent-garden Theatre, were palling through the

utak, who procured affiflance, arid went in purfuit
of the waggon, and traced it into Buckeridge-
fircet, St. Giles's, where four men were unload•
ing it. As fc.on as the officers made their ap-
pearance, two of the men who were unloading the
waggon (who are fuppnfed to be the original
thieves) ran off and made their efcape. The two
other men the officers fecured, likewife the man at
