Town:, 7loases Chard. John C. Taylor, James Taylor,
Jolus Harrie, Thomas Itithorelson, W. Drab, W. Con-
yet, and Jaws Xichardson, wee- -chatiked with riot-
ously assembling and forcibly tsking possession of
the Queen's Arms '1 avern, St. James's.:trelto, The
whole of the Officers belonging z‘s the Office repaired
to the house in question, and with much difficulty se-
cured the prisoners, after forcing an entrance, and
presenting their pistols. It appeared that the pre-
mises were foriberly occupied by a person named
Crowley, who bad fled and was afterwards made a
bankrupt. A person named Marston, and his wife,
had possession of the house for the last twelve months,
by authority of the Assignees. Miss Young, it
seemed, claimed having purchased the property of
the house previously to the docket having been struck
against Crowley ; and, by virtue of such claim, the
defendants were invited to take possession, which they
did effectually, and turned out the then possessors.
It was stated by Mr. Fisher, on behalf of the Assig.
nem, that Miss Young was committed to Newgate
for grass prevarication before the Commissioners of
Babkrupts, and that the bankruptcy had since been
clearly established in the Court of Common Pleas.—
Miss Young, before the Magistrate, maintained that
she had legally and fairly purchased the property,
and she took a force in with her to protect her person.
Most of the defendants had' been hired at the east end
of the town for the purpose, and they met at a pub-
lic-house in St. James's. They. were all ordered to
find bail.

LAXISTIPSTREZT POLICE OVII/CE.—ROSPERY of
sun COROMANDSL Hor.—Since this daring pipey has
been committed, the officers belonging to this Office,
as well as to the rest of the Police of the Metropolis,
bays been on the alert to discover the real robbers,
but mere particularly Dalton and Miller, who
searched all the creeks and corners in Gravesend
the result was, that they learned that two persons,
well-known tolthesn, were principally concerned in
the robbery, viz. John mown, who had been tried at
the Old Bailey some time back for stealing cloth from
a vessel in the River, and William Corby, a publican,
at Blackwall. On urther ir.quiry, they ascertained
that these persons had absconded hap Essex ; thither
they pursued them on Saturday last, armed with pis.
tols and cutlasses; and. aftiT tracing them through
different places, at length received information that
they were to come out of ,the marshes at a certain
part of the road near Plaistow, about four o'clock on
Monday afternoon. The Officers during the day re-
mained in disguise at a public-house there, and at
the appointed hour went in a cart to meet them.—
Driving on slowly they perceived two men coming
along, dressed in clumsy jackets and trowsers, who,
on approaching the cart recognized the Officers, and
ran off. Miller, however, at the first effort, seized
Brown, and Dalton presented his pistol at Corby,
who succeeded in getting over the ditch, declaring
he would blow his brains out if he did not instantly
surrender. This.had the effect of preventing his run-
ning away. He contrived, however, to pull off his
jacket and bat, regardless of all threats, saying.he
would not beseasily taken. The Officer perceiving
this sprung across the ditch, when the other darted
into tl-,e marshes again, and in attempting to leap
over another ditch in the rear, stack in the mud, and
was taken before he could extricate himself. Here
aillesperge battle ensued, Curby being a most power.
ful man; bat after some minutes fighting tad tomb.
ling in the ditch, Corby was compelled to surrender,
tad the Officer brought; him handcuffed to his com-
panion on the road, who by this time was secured
by )filler after considerable resistance. Having
chained them together, the Officers proceeded to
search their bats, jackets, and clothes, and found on
each about 500 of the stolen dollars, an wet, which
they brought with them to the Office ; and after an
examination yesterday they were remanded until to-
inorrow,

Wednesday thirty-four of the convicts, transmitted'
to Cork from the County of Tipperey, and other
counties, for transportation, were put on board the
Botany-Bay ship at Cove.

that she had money about her, she was searched in
