that the Lord Mayor Of London receives q
sum of fI0O0, not for performing the duties
Of Chief Magistrate, but to enable him to
keep up the ancient hospitality and civic
splendor. He spends about 91000 on the
dinner on the 9th of September, and the
Shcriffs together spend nearly as much more
but the Sheriffs draw the cash from their own
private resources. The dinners at the twelve

anu demanded of the lady the money, or they
would take her life. Being woman of great
GOODNESS, she saw at once that it would be
useless for her to evade the demand, so she
produced the money and gave it to them.-
The negroes then remarked, that as supper
was uearly ready, they would stay and cat
with her. She told them to be seated until
she got it ready. The woman had vial OF
strychnine in her cupboard. The woman. in
sweetening their coffee, managed to put dose
Of the poison in their cups. They drank. and
in few moments were dead. The neigh
