On Wednefday fennight, as Mr. GARDINER,
fchool-matter of St. Briavel's, in the county of
Gloucetter, WAS digging up au old wall, he found
the remains of a human body, which, it is flip-
poled, had been murdered, as the barrel of a pillol
(the wood-work being decayed) was found by it,
as alfil a part of a woollen garment. From ap-
pearances, it is conjeCtured, that the body mutt
have lain there fitty years.

Yellerdzy were interred the remains of T. Booth,
many years footman to his Majcsry : the Farwell
lion moved from, his houfe in Pimlico to Grofve-
nor Chapel, South Audley-tireet, in the following
order, viz. Two metes, the corpfe, fix footmen
bearing the pall, in full livery, with twords, fix
mourners in black, thirty of the KiwG's fervant%,
in the full livery, two and two, fix ditto of the
Data of Yoxit's, and three of the Dula of GLov-
climes, in full livery.

Yefterday evening a parcel-cart, belonging to
the George and rilue.Boar Inn, Holborn, got en-
tangled with a waggon at the bottom of Drury.
Lane. The horfe firuggling violently on receiving
this check, threw the driver. who fat on the cart,
kicked him in the face, and dragged the cart over
his arm, by which he is feverely bruited.
Yelerday, about two o'clock in the afternoon,
the owner of a loaded cart, going along with it,
the horfe grew ratite in Cocper's-row,
While endeavouring to manage it, be unfortu-
nately fell down; the horfe quickly fprung for-
ward, and the near v'heel went over his breall.—
Ile was bruited in a-dreadful manner. He was
immediately taken to a furgeon, by whom he was
dreffed, and afterwards put into a .oath, to be
conveyed to the hofpital, without u sof re-
covery.
On Friday tall, as Mr. TfICWAS FARROW, inn-
keeper of Nordelph, was 'landing upon the bridge
at Downham.Market, in converfation with Mr.
WALKS, furgeon, of that place, and incautioufly
leaning his track againll the rail of the bridge, it
fuddeidy gave way, arid he was inftantly precipi-
tated not lets than twelve feet into deep water.—
Mr. WALIS immediately threw off his coat and
hat, and plunging in to his affillance, caught him
(after many efforts) as he was riling the IA time
ext!autled, fpcnt, and yielding to his fate. In ads
perilous moment, Mr. WaLls providentially, and
with an almoff unparalleled pretence of mind,
fprang at one of the piers of the bridge, and cling-
ing to the fame with one arm, fupported the
drowning man with the other,tili further sal-lance
arrived and relieved them both from their hazard
cut fittiation.

LANDEK V. lIFDFORDL

This wa, a proitctizton for an al ault committed
be the ,!....lci,dant upon the plaintiff, on the night
of the 1:;.h of May lati, in New linnd-Ilreet.—
P .61ti If having been deprived of telt by the rat-
tling of carriages in their approach to, and de-
parting from, a malyterade at Mr. Martindale's
in that ilreet, nearly oppolite his lodgings, had
been tempted to come out at the early hour of
three in the morning in order to fee the snafgues.
He had lta•ioned himfelf in front of a crowd, lin•
ing a pals to the houfe, and, from the eagernefs of
the crowd behind him, was puflted fo forcibly for-
ward, that he (truck againit Lady.Amherlt's chair,
tlicn palling, and fra&ured one of the windows.—
Defendant, a chairman, belonging to Lady Dar-
F:igton, inilantly I:tied him by the and
grofsly aifatihed hint ; when plaintiff perceiv-
cd himlc.f furrounded by others of a fimilar de.
tip:io:l, whn appeared tetdy to attack him, con-
,r ved to difenga,;,,e hinlfclf and leek flicker in
fhglit, but was purled acrofs the flreet, and
knocked down by the defendant, who, after he
had been down, railed him front the ground, and
dallf d him againit it again with great violence.—
Mr. Lander 101 l his hat in the affray.

Warren, one of the patrole of St. James's pa-
rifh, and two witneffes, corroborated the tellimony
of the profecutor.
The defendant alledging his inability to employ
in attorney, bagged pet mitton of the Court tohave
a written paper, containing his defence, read by
the Clerk. The Court acquiefced. The paper
charged the profecutor as the aggrefror. It Rated,
that the defendant had never before been brought into
a Court fot. any mitcondtta ; that he was, at the
time of the fracas, in the fervice of Lady Dar-
lington, from whom he could have a good cha-
raaer ; and that a compromife had been made,
by which he was to pay three guineas to the plain-
tiff, two of which he had aattally given to his
attormey ; but being unwilling to inlert aectublic
apology in the papers, which might injure an hi-
therto irreproachable charaaer, the plaintiff, after
teceiving his money, had continued the criminal
profecution. The Jury found him Guilty, and be
was fentenced to liven days imprifonment.
William Welch and Mary his wife, were indift-
ed for keeping a diforderly houfe in Market-lane,
St. James's. A great number of refpeaablc in-
habitants of the parifh proved the general ill con-
duEt obfervable in the houfe, and feveral unfortu.
nate females were called, to (hew the purpofes for
which it was kept open. They proved, that the
man let the rooms out in tenements, and the wol
man received the money weekly, which, upon an
average, amounted to not lets than tool. per ann.
Mr. Simvssrs It contended, that, as the defendants
did not reticle in the haute, they were not liable to
anfwer for the profecution. The Court, however,
was of a different opinion, and obferved, that the
ill confequences to fociety would be dreadful, if
fuels law was to be tolerated as the Learned Conn-
fel has laid down. The Jury found the defendants
Guilty.

This day the felon priConers, from the different
prifons, were removed to Newgate previous to
their trials, which 'gill commence at the Old Bai-
ley Seffians on Wednefday next.
We have made it our Winds to mate further
inquiries relative to the reports of the difeovery of
the murderers of Mr.Srass, to which we alluded
in our Paper of yetlerday—the refult of our in.
veiligat ion has been, that thefe rumours are totally
groundlcfs. •
Tuefday morning an Melly man was found
drowned in the Serpentine River in Hyde Park,
fuppofed to have lain there feveral days.
A few days fince the body of a Midfhipman of
the Royal Navy, was thrown up at a place calked
Crow's Stone, in the parith of Prittlewell, in the
county of Mei. No property was found upon
him, or any papers, to lead to a difcovery who
the deceafetl was. After the Coroner's Jury fat,
the body was decently interred in Prittlewell
churchyard. _

Satin-Jay morning Mr. Henwood, formerly a
confiderable leather-feller upon Snow-hill, was'
found dead in his bed, at his lodgings in Weil
Smithfield. He retired to ref the preceding
evening apparently in perfea health.
Tueillay fe'nuight an inquefi was held on a
young man, fervant to Mr. Madworth, of Tud.
worth, near Thorne, who was killed by a flack of
clover falling over him.

John Drummond, the keeper of a public-houfe
at Glafgow, and Helen Drummond, his niece,
wet,: lately convicted at that place, for plying a
woman, who had come to their houfe off a jour-
: nay, with fpirits, and plundering her when intozi-
i cased, of her money and wearing apparel. The
, niece, who is of a bad charaeler, was fentenced to
he pilloried, and he confined in Bridewell eighteen
`months. The uncle was fined sal. and ordered to
. lind caution for his good behaviour for 2.year.
l.aft Friday morning a man dreffed in a kr-
. yam's livery, with a pitcher in his hands, ap•
!-pl:ed at a rcipatable houfe in Welheck-fireet,
