—Yefltrday Dunning (for whole apprehenfion
a reward has been offered) was brought to this Of-
fice, charged with defrauding boys in the theet out
'of parcels, under falfe pretences.
'l•he firil defraud was from a boy, who was carry-
ing a parcel to a Lady, at the Bull and Mouth, in
Lull and Mouth-thee, whom he accolled on the way
with, So, Zs., do you do? and then fell into eonverfa-
t ion with him, until he learned where he was carry•
ing the parcel, the Lady's name, &c. He then went
away, and fent an accomplice, to whom he told his
tale, to meet the boy, as if fent for the parcel. The
accomplice accolled the boy with So, yon young eb,g,
you are come at tall, Mrs. was quite uneafy at
your Ray, I fuppofe this is the things Mrs. --a—.
fent, which fhe meant to fend by the coach ; give
them to me." The boy, finding he knew she con-
tents of the parcel, his mailer's name, and the lady's
to whom he u•as carrying them, readily gave the par-
cels and returned home; the confequence was, that
on its being difcovered that the parcel was not deli-
vered, the boy was taken into ctillody on fulpicion,
examined before a Magithate, and committed to pri-
fon, his itory not being credited ; he was, however,
after a few days admitted to bail.

one to Mr. Mortimer, No. 3, Vine-flreet, Piccadilly ;
another, Mrs. Hale, No. 6, Great Q2exn.thcet, Lin-
coln's Inn Fields, &e. after the prifi.ner had feen the
directions, he enquired of the v itnefs, (William Mols)
his way to Vine-fireet ? The witnefs told him as he
was going there he might accompany him, which he
did to the door, where he faw him deliver the parcel
there—witnefs then quitted him, and did not fee him
after until in cufindy. The prifoner went in a few
minutes after, and inquired if Mr. Mortimer was yet
come home ? on being told he was not, he afked for
the parcel he had left, as he had orders from his mar-
ter, Mr. Chaulton, not to leave it unlefs he faw Mr.
Mortimer. Ann Grcllet, a young woman who lives
in the hook, gave him the parcel : feting him in
company with the boy who left It, fhe thought they
were both fervante to Mr. Chaulton. He afterwards
called at Mrs. Hale's in Oecn-lirect, and laid he was
fent from Mr. Chaulton's-for a parcel which he left
there about two o'clock ; he faid there was a mil.-
take in the goods, and he was fent to bring it back to
have it ratified. Under this pretence Ire obtained

MOND. Efq. at Haling Palk, near Croydon. The
villains mad.: the attempt by means of a long ladder
taken from Mr. Hy:o%o's farm, at nearly the slit.-
tance of a mile. They bad fixed it to the window of
the chamber where Mr. and Mrs. Hamoun were in
bed, and were aattally upon the point of entering the
room, when the falling in of the glaf. awakened Mr.
HAMOND, who ran to the window, upon which all
the rogues decamped without their booty.
On Tuefday evening about nine o'clock, a young
woman going with her box of clothes to a place where
(he had berfelf hired as a fervant in Old Fifh (Ireet,
going along near Bow-lane, the was accofled by a
decent looking man, who proffered his fcrvice to
carry the box. He had not proceeded far before he
availed himfelf of an opportunity of flipping through
tome bye alley and made his efcape with the whole
of the young woman's property, being all the was
worth in the world,

Between the hours of two and four o'clock in the
afternoon of Tuefday fennight, the hnufe of Mrs.
PLUMMIR. Stoneferry, near Hull, was broken

eight guineas in gold, the property of a lodger, a
tome other trifling atticles. A pair of fhoebuckles,
and feveral promdfory notes were left untouched, and
a drawer, in which notes and cans to a very confider•
able amount was depofited.

On the t ath inftant the body of a new born female
child was found floating, in an extreme putrid lute,
in a fifli pond near In gleby, in Derbyfhire. Nothing.

The quantity of Grain which Rats and M eicde•

than 800,oco bufbels annually, which is far more than
