portant point, and of very material confequcncc to this
kingdom, wav Anally determined. Saturday Stephen Burk*,

tence to be hanged and quartered. They are both to be ex

from hence, and a place where they nfually rendezvoused*
—They were conviAcd on the deareA evidence, and fd full*
as left them no opportunity for pleading any defence. The
judge expatiated largely and moA judiciously on the nature
ofth cir crimes, and concluded, by recommending Aronglf
to their superiors, to inculcate in the minds of thole uuhap
py wretches, a proper obedience and thorough fenfeofthe
happiness they may enjoy under so mild a government. Six
more were found guilty of riots, and fcntenced to be whipr,
two at a time, three market days, confined three months,

is a man of considerable property.”
