Tuesday night, tts a Gentleman going towards his resideilce
near Vauxhall, was walking across the road, (late a f ed)-al the
back of Lambeth-walk, leading towards East-street, he war int-
rotiptled by five or six desperate fellows, who threw him down_
and-covered his head and face with a piece of carpet or rug, and
rifled his pockets of his watch and seals, ar.4l also of his pocket-
book, Containing £7 in notes, and valuable memorandums.
Monday, a Gentleman, who statedthat he rcsidedpany -yews
at I'entonville, came before the Magistrates, in Hatton-Gardee,
and gave the following information :—that between ten and
eleven o'clock the night preceding, he was attacked in Spa-fields
by four men, who knocked hir‘down, and robbed hint of 20a.
and sante other articles he had in his pockets, which they cut
open with a knife ; and after beating hits unmercifully, one of
them attempted to cut his throat, which be prevented by putting
up his hand, which was cut across ; the assassin then gave him a
couple of stabs and left h;nt for d:ad ; he gave a good descrip-
tion of the villains, add said he shculd know them again.
133xvts.— Both rainier awl (Wiper returned to Norwich the
night of the battle, and, as we observed yesterday, Painter was
most punished; for a:thoush his right-handed blows made a
great sound, yet they left very little maks. Painter was :no t
distrsssed for wind, and had it not been for the lucky hir, it la
supposed that he could not have fought two other rounds. What
Oliver got his senses, he wanted to fight again; but " No," said
Painter, " Peewit': it."—North Walstam is situated about two
miles from the place where the fight took place, up a narrow
lane, anti such was the pressure of the cavalcade, that many ac-
cidents occurred, and the streets of the little town would mere*
hold the vehicles, nor could the *ass with full Yortis rho-
sages, contain hallithe people. But the Norfolk peopfe seemed
all in this fancy, and well dressed Ladies, from the 'Wires of
different genteel hawses, were as anitious to kitow POltr as
if they had a good stake upon it. Tht bell* at Norwich were set
