Miscellany. ■ - /Mrm. From Bell sWeely Messenger, Aug. €? The Ghost of Sr Andrews. James Carnefs, a youth of about 16 years of age, was brought before the Magiftrateat Guildhall on Fri day upon the following charge Lee, the officer, stated, that for 3 considerable time part the neigh borhood of St. Andrew’s, Holborn, was kept in a constant state of in quietude and alarm, by the nightly assembly of a number of the lower orders, who fancied they had seen, or were to fee, ‘ ’ a Ghost ;’* and so far had their credulity been impo sed upon, that many of them were ready to make affidavit of the ap pearance of this aerial form. Tho crowd and disturbance, however, had increased to such a degree, and the light fingered gentry had be come so numerous and fuccefsfu!, that it required the utmost vigil ance of the police to prevent jhefe difgracefu I proceedings. OnThurf day night, as usual, the place be came nearly impassable and about 9 o’clock shouts of terror and alarm suddenly burst forth on every hand, and the cry of “ the Ghost” be came general!. Hundreds now fled, while others braving the superna tural horrors of the supposed spirit, kept their ground. The imagina ry. Ghost, who had been observed {kipping from one tomb stone to another, now advanced so the gate, and having afeended the railing, gave fir ft a fiifteric laugh, and then three sepulchral groans. The of ficers, however, were not to be im posed upon, and the pretended sha dow was summoned in the street. Jo this little attention was paid ; but fufficient assistance being obtain ed, he was dragged down and se cured, when at length the spell was broken,& the“airy nothing receiv ed a local habitation and a name.” The prisoner was dressed in a white jacket and trowfers, and wore on his head a white cotton cap. Up on being called upon by the ma gistrate for his defence, he stated that a few evenings since he had been induced, at the request of a gentleman, to enter the church yard and afeertain the truth of the story refpeding the ghost. For this, being liberally paid, he accept ed the proposal, and soon afeerain ed that the object of ail the curioT. ity and terror which had prevailed was nothing more than a tomb stone, upon which the moon had fljone for several nights ! He was himfelf then induced to “ keep up the joke, more, however, with a view to undeceive, than to impose upon the credulous multitude The father of the youth, a moft res pectable man, appeared on the be half his son, and undertook to guar antee his future condud. Wirfi this promise, & a suitable warning, * the niagiftrate difeharged him.
