St. Felin mid Cas Planas, to join the regiment of

A day or two ago as some boys were playing
with squibs near Tyburn turnpike, one fell into
the pocket of William Johnson, a lad about 13
years of age, who unfortunately had an ounce in
gunpowder (wrapped up very tight) in the pocket,
which exptetiod, by whirl, accident his side was so
dreadfully lacerated, as to render it necessary to
convey him to St. George's Hospital, where ir
lingered in excruciating agony until Wednesday,
and then expired.
A new County Jail, costing 22,0001. and a
Bridewell, costing 15,0001. have lately been built
in Devonshire, which, since their completion,
have been discovered to be within the district of

until an Art of Parliament can be obtained on
the subject of these prisons, all commitment• th►.

be illegal.
