"Again, on the memorable day of the funeral of these two immolated men,
Mr. W. in his capacity of Sheriff, supported with becoming dignity, his
high station, and undaunted amidst imminent danger, enforced obedience
even from the military, and saved the effusion of human blood."

London exhibits, daily, a series of depravity perhaps unparalleled in

in which his friends heartily coincided, when the attention of the
triumvirate was attracted by the appalling appearance of five men
rivetted together, and conducted along the street by officers of
justice. Tallyho enquired into the nature of their crimes, and was

warehouse in Thames Street, but does not reside there. Upon
visiting his warehouse yesterday morning, he found that
thieves had been very busy upon the concern the night
before. They did not get much, but while they were in the
house they enjoyed themselves. They lighted a fire, and paid
a visit to the wine-cellar, from which they took two bottles
of wine and three bottles of perry, which it seemed they
drank warm with sugar, and Mr. Miller received a very polite
