POLICL

EMI:MOM/RIF gITIZT1•11.-..- On Thurfday
reening, a girl about fifteen years of age went into
a public-houfe, in the neighbourhood of Manchef-
ter•fitiare, and aficed the perfons prefent to pur-
chafe a tong, which they Paid they would it the
would fing it ; the accordingly did. After which,
they Aced her lithe got her living by finging fnngs,
which the anfwered in die affirmative, and with
the Alliance of her father and mother. On her be li
-
ing quellioned as to the manner in which her faker
and mother got their living, the anfwered, her fa-
ther Role pewter pots belonging to public houfes,
and her mother Role children, fold their clothes,
and fometimes put them to death.
This was fuch a firange tale that the perfons in
the public houfe, after !rasing a little more convey.
fation with her, thought it prudent to detain her,
{r afcertain the truth of htr llory. She was taken
to the Public Office, Marlborough-fireet, and when
cramined before the Sitting Magillrate, the per-
Sided in her account ; and the having given the
Yen:Jena of her father and mother to be in May-
nard-fireer, St. Giles's, feveral Officers were dif-
p itched there, and they took the perfons as defcrib-
cd by the girl iwo culludy. Yeflerday they were
eNamined at Marlborough-flreet, before the Sitting
Magillrate, when the girl gave a fimilar account
in their p.cfeuce the had dose the former riming.

The Magillrate &fired her to dellyiLe the citildrer
her mother had ttolen, when the (aid the recolleCt•
ed four or five, and the lalt was flolen from the
neighbourhood of Chelfea, about five weeks fince,
anti after the had (tripped the infant of its cloaths,
the had put it to death becaufe it made a noire, by
ripping open its belly, and that it was buried in
the Long Fields, in Chelfea, and that her mother
had pm a quantity of lime into the earth with the
! body to clarity it. She added, that her mother,
to preveot the children crying, iifed to put a large
piece of flicking plallcr on their months, which the
kept in a tin box which was buried with the WI
child in the Long fields. She was alked if the
coold point nut the place where the child was
buried ? the faid the could, and feveral officers
were difpatched with her to point out the fpot, anal
when the facets arrived at the place the defcribed
they found the earth had been lately removed, and
on digging they found fome lime, and a tin box
with ibnie Calve in it, but not the kali fymptoms
of a body. The girl defcribed the thop where the
clothes were fold, which belonged to the child
(listen from Chelfea, and on application to the wo-
man who keeps it, the raid the recollefled pur•
chafing fome childrens' clothes a flirt time fince,
but they are not traced. Here refts this-rnyaeri-
ous Affair.
On invelligating the relationfitip of the girl and
the pritimers, -he prifoner laid that the man was
her father, but the woman was only her mother-
in-!aw.—The girl faid the had underftood that nei-
ther of the prifoners were her parents, but that
they (tole her from Dumfries, in Scotland, and that
her father kept. cfltop there.
The.prifoners,are known at the office, and the
girl is a !cry depf:aved charafter.
MANitoNlioui.s.--.Bstrion and Warner were
again brought betore the Loso MAYOI, on fufpi-
cion cf having !Wen a bill of soot. which was
found on one of them about a week aso, when
taken into euflody, and which we mentioned had
been fent from Liverpool to the houfe of Efdaile
and Co.

Warner, on being queflinned how he came by
the bill, faid that he found it rolled up in a piece
of paper, near Fleet•market.
Letters were produced from Liverpool, but did
not contain any matter that tended to throw light
on the but-Ines, and no evidence being produced
to flew that either of the prVoners flood in a fitu•
ation to have accefx to the letter which contained
the bill, they were, after a fh.irt examination, dif-
charged ; and the bill was reliored to Mars. Ef-
ciatles and Co.

Sal n ifilas was a fecond time brought to the
bar, charged by a formable, with having in his
pollefllon a quantity of calif.), which he could not
give a proper account of. A Gentleman, who is
a proprietor of calico grounds, appeared to en-
deavour to identify the goods, having lately 101 l
property of the kind; but on a minute examina-
tion, laid the articles did not belong to him, but
informed his Lordfhip, that he knew two of his
neighbours, who had been robbed of a quantity
of calico, of the fame deicription as that which h.:
had jult teen. Upon this information his Lnrd(hip
requeded the witnefs to acquaint his neighbours,
that the prifoner Ihould be brought up again on
Wednefday next, when they might have an oppor:
tunitv of coming forward.
Vaghers and Hewetfort, two watertnan, under-
went a private examination. They had been
brought up on a former day. It appears thefe
two perlons, about fourteen months ago, had been
entrufted to take on board the drip Galen, two
trunks full of printed calicoes,which were configned
to a Mr. Mare, of &Ron, from his brother in
London. On the arrival of the veffel at the de-
dined port, it was found that the trunks contained,
inftead of the calicoes in quellion, a quantity of
rubbilli, for the. purpofe of making weight. It
has been a matter of much pains and interest, to
trace this robbery to the proper perfons, which
as yet has not been done. As fame thonfands of
pounds have lately been loft in that way, the
LORD MAYOR has taken uncommon pains to lift the
matter to the bottom, but hitherto without fritter!.

Nineteen witncifes were yeflerdaY in waiting, the
greatelt part of the day to give evidence, but after
an invetligation of three hours, not more than half
ofthem were heard, and the matter was ordered
to nand over till Wednefday nest. It appearing,
however, that Hewetfon was entirely free from
fulpicion, he was acquitted.
Mr. GURN6T attended fur the profecution, and
Mr. Jacesov for the prifoners.
Thurfday morning, Coon after two o'clock, while
Mr. GANN, one of the mailers of the Piazza Col-
fee.houfe, jointly with Mr. HODGSON, was fitting
in his bar, converfing with perfons about him, ap-
parently in the bell health and fpit its, he Suddenly
fell hack in his chair, and expired without a groan
or the flighteft convulfion. His pofition being but
little altered, his fitnation was not at fira noticed,
and he only drew mien:inn by his fixed eyes, and
being unable to anfwer when fpoken to. It was
thought he was in a fit. A Gentleman of the fa-
culty happening to be in the houfe bled him, but a
very few drops of blood only would iffue. Every
thing was done that medical affifiance could area,
but in vain. Mr. Gass was a very lufly and a
very healthy man, much refpeeled. The Chock
this event rave to his wife, and the whole family,
may eerily be conceived.
On Tuefday lA, a boy hunting a fine eat, with
three dogs, along the road at Dover, the terrified
animal ran on the parapet of the bridge, and down
to the fide of the pent, the dogs teeming uawilling
to crofs the &cam, the lad, to encourage them,
leaned fo far over the bridge, hallowing and clap-
ping his hands, that he fell headlong into the
water, which being (hallow, he was In dreadfully
bruited as to be unable to crawl out ; and if he
had not received immediate alliance, mull have
been fuffocated.

On Thurfday night as a gentleman was going
along Fah fircet Hill, he was bullied by a gang of
villains, who picked his pocket of a gold watch,
with which they made their efeape.
Yefterday the Coroner's Jury took a view of the
body of a lad about 1+ ye as of ago, taco out of
the River drowned, n.:41 ShaJw.ll Dock.—Ver-
die accidental death.

It is related of a Clergyman (who is alto a Ba
ronet of confiderable property) that one Sunday
after he had returned from delivering a difcoorfe •
to his Congregation, which confined principally of
his tenants and thole of his own bonfehold, he was
expoaulated with by his Lady, on the impropriety
of an indiferiminate ufe of filch words as arc imme-
diately derived from foreign languages, which mull
be quite unintelligible to much the greater part of
his 'waren. The Baronet replied, he wasnot con-
fcious of having applied any terms in his fermon.
fox the elucidation of the fubjea. which were nut
intelligible even to the meaneft of his fervants; but I
if any occurred to her memory, be requelled her
to mention one, and they would make a trial on
fome one of his domeflics. The Lady mentioned
forscio, and that Ilse might not-be accufed of ufing
unfair means to gait; the viaory in this argument.
the would neither choofe the highen nor the lowa
of his fervants, but one in a middle Ration ; and
in confequence John Shirlot, the Upper Groom,
was feleaed on this occafion. When die queflion
was put to him, whether Le knew the meaning of
the word/Airy? with die greaten readinefs ima
ginable, and feeming confidence-in his own abili •
ties, he anfwered. " he believed it was a kind of
compofition, made into balls, and given to horfes
when they did not dale well." This excited
fuch a burn of laughter from the Baronet and his
Lady. and confequent confulion in the Groom,
that he was difmiffed with " Go thy way for this
time, when I have a convenient feafon, I will cal!
for thee."

Diforders that.proceed either from an impure
Rate of the blond, or a relaxed tlwe of the . erves,

coutfe of SPILSBURY% Antift:crbutic Do.ps, too
much cannot be Paid in praife of that invaluable
preparation. This unparalleled fuccefs, in the
moft complicated cafes, has ellablithed i:s celebrity
throughout the nniverfa ; indeed, where is i: potli-
ble to obtain fetch a rellorerof the conaitution and
