as die Rev. Walter Wren Driffield was on his way
home from Kelvedon to Fretting, he was stopped on
the road leading from Gore Pit, and neat the village
of Freering, by two men, who, after robbing him of
considerable propc.-ty, knocked him down with great
violence. They robbed him of a gold watch, chain,
and two seals, three gold rings, Bank of England
notes, Colchester Bank notes, and cash, to a conside-
rable amount.
Tuesday night as Mr. W. P. Dowse was returning
from transacting business in town to his house at
Newington, he was robbed by three fellows, on the
new road leading from the Waterloo Bridge to Stam-
ford-street, Blackfriars. They took from him his
watch, money, a deed, and a transfer of `lock. He'
was so maltreated by the ruffians that he was obliged)
to have medical aid when he got to a friend's bagel
in Blackfriars-road.
Tuesday night, about eleven o'clock, as Mr. Pitt.

Wednesday night as Mr. Pierce
Deptford, was walking along the ',el..—
his way home, on the other side of the Jolly ens..
public house, he was knocked down and robbed of six-
teen shillings and sixpence. The same night a young'
woman (who lived servant in a family at Clapham,
Which situation she left to come to a more eligible one
in town) walking with a trunk and small box which
contained all her wearing apparel and her savings,
amounting to between ten and eleven pounds, along
the London-road, being very tired, she asked a wags
goner in the employ of Messrs. Nuttridge and Drell!,
lof the Borough, who was going towards London
with an empty waggon, to allow her to put her boxes
into his waggon ; he complied with her request, and
asked her to get in also. The fog was very thi
and while they were in conversation at the front •
the waggon, some thieves took the trunk and box out
of the waggon, and tot clear off with them.
EXTRAORDINARY PRZUNCE Of MlND.—.Tire cons-
t=stf the celebrated Strathspey called John Roy
'a Reel, had been Quarter-Master in the Scott
Greys, and was sent with a party to apprehend Mr.
Munro, of Novar, suspected of secretly favouring the
rebellion of 1745. Mrs. Munro, like Madame Lava-
tette, determined to hazard all to save the life of her
husband. Though pregnant, and momentarily ex:
petting to be confined, she entreated permission to
accompany him to prison ; and in the middle of
lone moor, suddenly exclaimed that she must have
some of her own sex to attend her. She pointed in
'different directions, and Stewart, at her request, dis•
patched all his troopers, while he himself kept close
to Munro, with a loaded pistol in his hand. Mrs.
Alunro, who rode on a pillion behind her husband,
=tied out that she and her child should perish,
she were assisted to dismount. Stewart replaced
his pistol in the holster, alighted, and helped the
lady to descend ; but she clasped him so firmly in
her arms, as to allow he: husband to ride off to*
eof safety. Stewart, having no witnesses
prove his innocence, was afraid to join his regi - •
apprehensive that his obnoxious name might tend
a more rigorous sentence than he deserved. •
therefore went over to the rebel party, held a Colas
nen commission at the battle of Culloden, and after
the total defeat of the Pretender, was conceAtid
several months in the north. For some time, while
hid in a cavern, his son brought him victuals very
early in the morning or late at night ; and as the
path to his retreat was intricate, he generally me{
the child to receive his provisions. The Royalist,
had information that Stewart, the deserter and
was in that neighbourhood, and his desperate courage'
pointed out the necessity of sending a considerable
farce agair.st him and his firmly attached protectors.
His son was overtaken by a large party of military,
within a few yards of the spot where Stewart gene.
rally met him. One of the articles he carried was a
pitcher of milk. With ready presence of mind he
feigned idioter- and offered his milk to the drum-
mer if he would let him know the use of that add-
looking round thing he had strapped at his back.._
Vie boy's broken English and strange gestures at-
tracted the notice of an olcer, who, after a short
conversation, ordered the drummer to beat. This
was Xll young Stewart desired: his father now had
warning to keep close in I.is asylum.

FRACAS IN THE Kircium.—Mrs. Dushant, cook
and housekeeper to a gentleman in Montague-square,
was brought up is custody of an officer, to answer
the complain of T. Piugest, footman in the same fa-
mily.--The complainant stated, that he applied to
the defendant for the loan of a basket, which was in
her pantry, but she refused to let him have it, and Ui
consequence he proceeded to take it by force of arms.
In the scuffle some gardenstuff which it contained, fell
out, when the Loy seized an enormous turnip, and
threw it with such violence at the head of the com-
plainant. as to lay him prostrate on the floor.—The
fair defendant in reply, said, that the complainant
not only took the basket against her consent, but most
vexatiously emptied its dirty cominu upon her clean
scoured dresser, and she thought be richly deserved li
the blow she gave him.—The complainant here pro-
duced the turnip, and pointed out a spct of blood
upon its silver skin, which he said he had no doubt
was his own, as the blow caused his nose to bleed ex-
cessively.—The anger of the Lady appearing to in-
crease, rather than diminish, she was ordered to find
bail to answer the complaint at the Sessions, which
she did immediately, and was discharged.

Ijatos-lIALL.--Yesterday the driver of the hack-
ney-coach, No. 817, was summoned before the Ma-
gistrates for conduct unusually outrageous, for re-
fusing to stop when he was desired by a Lady, who
had hired his coach, and with assaulting her and se-
veral Gentlemen who stopped the coach.—Mrs. Jane
Smith, of 71, Berner's-street, Oxford-street, stated,
that on Saturday last she hired the defendant's coach
at the Stags, Lambeth, and ordered him to drive to
the Elephant and Castle. The coachman was very.
much intoxicated, and drove so furiously that she
called to him to stop before he arrived at the place
to which she had desired him to drive, being afraid
of some accident. He took no notice whatever of
her entreaties. When he arrived at the place of
destination he refused to stop ; but laughed at her,
and whipped his horses on. She became much
alarmed ; and letting down the windows, called out
to the persons passing to stop the horses. Two Gen-
tlemen, at the risk of their lives, stopped the horses,
and helped her from the coach. The coachman then
commenced such a violent assault upon her and the
Gentlemen who had protected her, that she had been
ill ever since..—Mr. Denman, of No. 8, Prospect-
place, corroborated the evidence of the former wit-
ness ; and stated, in addition, that the language of
the coachman was more violent and gross than any
he had e►er beard. As he was conducung the Lady
to his house, the coachman followed, pouring forth
torrents of abuse, and caused a mob of between 200
add 300 persons to assemble. The moment the Lady
entered his residence she fainted away, and was a
considerable time before she was well enough to pro-
ceed home. The coachman was convicted in the pe-
nalty of 101. and in default of payment, cnnur.itted
to tiff IlOuse'fi Correction for three month:.
