\ The Worcester paper cautions the
public to look out for u fellow by the
name of Mott, who has been passing
himself off in various parts as a Minister,
sc. This said parsonage arrived in this
town on Thursday last; and took lodg-
ings at MIR. Townscnd's Hotel. Since
his visit here he has been detected in
several suspicious and dishonest acts, s,and
has assumed two Orthree different names,
those of Haskell, Eddy, and Mott. He
hired horse and chaise of Messrs. II.
& G. c. Shaw, under the pretence of
going to Glocester to purchase horses,
and had proceeded as far as Warren
when he was ovcrtaken and brought back
to this place. There can be no doubt
from his appearance that he is an old Of
fender, and has been pretty intimately
acquainted with prisons. He is now
safely lodged in our Jail on a civil suit.
