Thurfday four Mailer tradeimen waited upon
the LORI) MAYOR at the Manton Houle,and thank-
ed him for the "order which his Lordfhip fent with
Mr. Nelfon, the Deputy Water Bailiff, for the li-
beratiou of their apprentices, who were impreffed
on Monday lail, as they were going down the
River to amufe themfels es at Greenwich. In the
courfe of their addrefs, they detailed the particu-
lars of the great trouble and inconvenience which
they experienced in the prefent cafe ; and infilted,
that they being Freemen and Livcrym..n of Lon-
don, and their apprentices being bound for the
freedom of the City, the latter were not liable to
be impreffed, and that confequently the condua
of the prefs gang, who bad fo impreffed them, was
a violation of the rights and privileges of the city
of London. The Loan Mayort anfwered, that he,
fhould be always ready to protea the liberties of
the City of London, and commended the Gentle-
men for their exertions upon the prefent occafion.

PR r ss Gallo s.—At Union-Hall, William Wort.
ley depofed, that yefterday morning, about t t
o'clock, as he was coming up Tooley-ftreet, where
he had been in the difcharge of his duty, he law
feveral.perfons (landing near tile corner of the
Bridge Yard, who, from their appearance, 'he
took to be a Prefs.gang. Seeing they had flopped
a man whom he heard them alk for his protec-
tion, he (lopped for a minute, to fee how it would
end. A man of the gang came up to him and
Paid, " What bufinefs have you here?" The wit.
nefs replied," I certainly have as much right here
as you." He was then afked, if he had ever been
at lea? He replied, he had been two or three
times to Gravefend, for pleafure, but no further.
Jult upon this, the prifoner in cuflody, who akted
as the Officer of the gang, confdling of nine men,
Came up, and the man who had been fpeaking to
the witnefs, Paid, " Here is a volunteer." This
Wortley denied, telling him he was a Police Offi.
cu.. This did not fatisfy the other, for he feized
him by the collar, and Paid, "You are a volunteer,
and (hall go along with us." The witnefs then
putting his hand to his coat pocket to pull out his
book, and produce his warrants of appointment.
one as a p'nlice officer, and the other on the imprefs
fervice ; the prifoner, without further ceremony,
pulled his cutlafs from under his coat, and gave
Wortley Co fevere a cut on the head, through his
hat, that he had nearly bled to death before the
wound was dreffed. Before he became quite in-
fentible, he requefted that be might be taken to
fame neighbouring furgeon's,- to have his wound
dreffed ; but this was refufed. The men then,
under the direBion of the prifoner, dragged him to
Miil Stairs, laid him in their boat (for he could
not fit up), and took him on board the Tender,
where the Surgeon drefred his wound. Several.
perfons depofed to the fame effe,9.

The prifoner is a Prefs•Mafer, who is employed
under the Lieutenant who has the charge of the
Imprefs Service, but had not any warrant.

The Magißrate faid,that the prifoner hid exer-
cifed the authority rerofed in him in a fcandalous
and cruel manner; he had alfo departed from his
duty, by going with the gang to Bridge-Yard,
when he had bran ordered by his Officer to pro-
ceed no further than the Bridge-Stairs. He was
immediately ordeied to be committed to take bis
trial for the offence, and the complainant via% left
to the care ot the Surgeon.

James B:nnet was alfo ordered to find hail, fi,r
having atraulted the boy, and the names of the
whole gang were fent to the Admiralty, with an
Account of their condua.
