Eaf ton, Efq; Mayor of Salisbury, and voluntarily declared, that he murdered a drummer of the name of Jones about feven years ago. Since that time he had been in various employments as a failor, and in France, the Welt-Indies, Ruffi &c. that he was loft on board the Samplon man of war, lying off Plymouth, whence he and his companion John Sheppard, a native of the Sok in Winchefter, were lately discharged. He de clared clared, that excepting this murder, he had at no time of his life done any, injury to society: That on Thursday the 15th, upon the road to Salifbury, they were overtaken near Woodyate's Inn by a thunder storm, in which he saw several ftrange and difinal spectres, particularly one in the appearance of a female, to which he made up, when it instantly funk into the earth, and a large stone rose up in its place; that the ftone rolled upon the ground before him, and often came dashing against his feet. Sheppard corroborated this part of the flory, fo far as relates to the horror of the unhappy man. He perfifting in the truth of his confeffion, was commi ted to the town jail, and will take his trial at the enfuing Huntingdon affizes. At the affizes beld at Huntingdon on Monday, July 31, Jarvis Matchman was capitally convicted for the wilful murder of Benjamin Jones, a lad, drummer in the 49th regiment of foot, on the 19th day of Auguft 1780, and ordered for execution on Wednesday lalt. During the time the above criminal was in confinement, his behaviour was truly penitential, and the morning before the poor unhappy wretch was executed, he received the holy facrament; humbly begged of God that all who were prefent might take warning by his unhappy fate. At ten o'clock on Wednesday morning he was carried from the gaol to the place of execution, where he spent tome time in prayer, continually to the fast moment calling to God and the Lord Jefus for mercy. He was launched into eternity amidst a large concourfe of people affembled there on the occafion. After hanging the ufual time his body was cut down and carried to the parish of Alconbury, there to be hung in chains near the fpot where the horrid deed was committed.

He was not quite 22 years old when he published "An Hiftorical Differtation concerning the Antiquity of the English Conftitution;" and was advanced for it, by the University, to the degree of doctor of the civil and canon law. After a ftudious interval of fome years, he produced a very capital work, under the title of "A View of Society in Europe, in its Progrefs from Rudenes to Refinement; or, Inquiries concerning the Hiftory of Laws, Government and Manner." He had read and meditated with patience on all the more important monuments of the middle ages; and in this volume (which speedily reached a fecond edition) he aimed chiefly at the praise of originality and invention, and difcovered an induftry that is seldom connected with ability and difcernment. About the time of the publication of the first edition of this performance, having turned his thoughts to an academical life, he afked for the profefforfhip of public law in the Univerfity of Edinburgh.

A fhocking affair hap. pened at the fury of Carrigg, near this town: a number of people having affembled at the ferry, to crois over to an hurling match, Mr. John Burkit, of Stable, in this county, had rode his horfe to the ftrand, in order to get into the boat, which being quite full of paffengers, fome gen alemen, to prevent accidents which might have happened, would not permit him to come in; and the boat having made off, Mr. Burkit rode his horse arter, and made feveral efforts to leap him in, which one or two of the patfengers prevented by lafhing at the horfe to keep him out, but being rather obftinate, Mr. Burkit cried out, with an oath or imprecation, that he would be ver as foon, or before any of them; on which the hours of eight and nine o'clock, when he went into the gaol, to examine and lock up the different apartments, he had no fooner entered an upper room, than he was fuddenly attacked, the light he carried in his hand extinguished, Limfelf knocked down, tied and gagged, and though he then lay in a fituation which rendered him incapable of making the leaft noife, or calling for affiftance, they afterwards put him to death, with circumflances of the most favage brutality, his fcull being fractured in different places, and every part of his body mangled in the moft fhocking manner; after which they robbed him of what cafh he had; and one fellow in particular, after taking off the fhoes of the deceafed, put them on, faying," they fit me well, was in great want of them for the jour Dey." 1786.

All this was done fo filently, that the centinels at the dour knew nothing of the matter for fome hours, until a woman named Margaret Durack, who was likewife a prifoner, immediately on her getting out, alarmed the family of the deceased. In the interim the villains had completed a breach at which they were at work for fome nights before, through the arch over the river, on which the gaol is built, and about the hour of eleven got clear off, to the number of twenty. The coroner held an inqueft on the body on Saturday laft, when after the ftricteft examination, the jury brought in their verdict, wilful murder, against the following perfons, viz. Jeremiah Leahy, James Sughrue, John O'Donnell, Bartholomew Shea, John Murrinane, James M'Nemara, James Maher, James Supple, Michael Mc.Elligot, John Mihane, Laurence Sullivan, Patrick Heffernan, Edmond Walsh, otherwife Wallis, Patrick Breen, John Sullivan, James Collins, Timothy Carthy, Andrew Breen, Mary Sullivan, and Ann Cody. It is remarkable that Ann Cody was the most favage actor in this dismal tragedy; her conduct was attended with fuch acts of indecency, as well as of cruelty, on this melancholy occafion, as would fhock the delicate feelings of her fex, were we to recite them. 19.] This morning, an express arrived in town, with an account that J. Collins, one of the above murderers, was taken at Liftowell, when the sub-sheriff, with a troop of the 9th Dragoons quartered here, under the command of Cornet Caldwell, set off, and at ten o'clock the fame night arrived in town, and fafely conducted him to his old lodging.It is fincerely to be wifhed, that the inhabitants of the kingdom in general, and more particularly of the different lea-ports, will exert themselves in taking up and closely examining all fufpected perfons, in hopes that thofe infernal villains may be brought to that punishment which the enormity of their crimes fo juftly merits.

WE his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal fubjects the Roman Catholic inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Roferea, most fiacerely and chearfully offer to your Lordship, our warmest congratulations, on your arrival in these parts. We are now made fenfible, that the unwarrantable proceedings of the misguided people from the South, which following their example, fome of the lower class did unguardedly take a part in, is by no means the way to induce the Legiflature to examine into, and redress the grievances which we believe, fome part of our fellow fubjects do experience from tythe farmers, proctors, and priests. As to ourselves, we are free to declare,' that we have no great cause to complain of oppreffion or exaction from either church; but unless the legislature fhould in its wisdom regulate the claims of the clergy, we do not know how foon we may be oppreffed in the like manner, as fome of our fellow lubjects certainly are, if any other perfon fhould iucceed to the prefent worthy rector or priest, we should be in their power, and we therefore teel ourfelves interefted in the cause of others; but we do befeech your Lordship to be a mediator for us, and to reprefent to his Grace the Lord Lieutenant, who we revere, and to whole adminiftration we do not intend any disturbance, that we are determined to obferve due obedience to the laws; and that no oaths haftily taken or forced upon us, oaths which wanting every effential to conftitute their validity, free will, truth, juftice or judgment, fhall or ought to have any influence of our future conduct. We trust our Proteftant fellow subjects feel in the like manner with us, a defire to live in peace and good-fellowship, determined not to fufier ourselves to be impoled upon by turbulent or defigning men, for we are convinced, that if tumutuous affemblies of people affume to themfelves a right by oaths or otherways, to alter or withstand the legal establishment, the legislature cannot even liften touch lefs redels our grievances.

This being the first day of hearing the petitions of thofe perfons claiming certificates under an act paffed last feffion, for the relief of uncertified bankrupts, Lord Earlsfort, at the defire of the Lord Chancellor, attended.- -When the Commiffioners certificate had been read, and counfel heard on the first petition, the noble Lord (Earlsfort) in a fpeech of confiderable length, delivered his fentiments on the act of laft feffion, with an elegance, precifion, and humanity, that did honour to his head and heart. After enumerating the different acts heretofore made relative to bankrupts, and pointing out their tendency and confequence to a commercial nation, he adverted to that then under confideration, and faid it was brought forth in hafte, every clause of it was abortive, and that it promifed more than it performed. In the first claufes it feemed to have three objects in view, to relieve those who had not kept a regular account of their domeftic expence-those who were precluded from their certificates through the peevishness or obftinacy of 4 5ths of their ereditor and those who by unforeseen misfortanes had it not in their power to comply with the conditions of the former acts-and yet in the enacting clause it seemed to have deferted every object but that of relieving those who had not kept a regular account of domeftic expences, but complied in every other refpect with the acts of 18th and 19th Geo. III. The Legiflature, continued his Lordship, fenfible of thofe paffions and refentments which too often agitate the breafts of creditors, has witely left the Lord Chancellor to decide upon the pretenfions of the claimants, and I make no doubt but the act will receive from his Lordthip the moft liberal construction, confiftent with humanity and juftice. The Lord Chancellor coincided in opinion with the noble Lord, and declared, if no one elfe took up the bufinefs, he would himself move to have the act amended next feffion of Parliament. 22.], On Saturday night, Enfign Doker of the 66th regiment, having ipent an hour or two with iome gentlemen of the fame regiment at the Palatine Square, in the Barracks, departed about 11 o'clock, and was lighted down itairs to the first floor, by one of his companions. In about ten minutes after fome groans being heard, they went down to the front door with lights, and there found Mr. Doker ftretched on the pave duty, the had informed him, that the was told Enlign Doker had fallen out of one of the fift floor windows, and fractured his fkull. No further converfation paffed between them on this fubject, until Hurley went to bed on Sunday night, when he told his wife, that a man having difcovered Mr. Doker with his wife, in the paffage, near the hall door, had faid, "Doker, I will not murder you, but I'll leave you an example;" and then mangled him as above related. This affertion, to which Hurley's wife either. did, or offered to make oath, the husband denies; fo that the wife and he are in the extreme of contradiction, and the whole affair is fill wrapped up in mystery. A woman, who attends one of the rooms, fays fhe faw a tall man in dark-coloured clothes, watching about the front door, and on the coming up of fome perfons eulked into one of the arcades, and afterwards returned to the door. This is the bett information we have been able to obtain on this horrid affair. Some of the cir cumftances attending it are extraordinary. It is extraordinary that when his friends lighted Mr. Doker to the lower landing, he could poffibly be fuppoled to fall out of a windows It is not at least probable. It is equally amaz. ing, that if he was attacked by an affaffin at the front door, that even the effects of anger and violence did not convey an alarm in the very committing of the fatal deed.The contradiction of Hurley and wife's teftimony is equally inexplicable and the ignorance of the furrounding centinels, each within hearing of every noite, form altogether a fcene of mystery which time alone can explain. Mr. Doker was a very fine young fellow, well esteemed in the regiment, and retpected by all who knew him. The accounts of the depredations in the South of this kingdom by the White and Right Bers continue to be very numerous and alarming, to much so that Government was induced to order a large party of the army to be fent down under the command of Lord Luttrel, which procured peace whilft the troops were prefent, but as foon as they quitted a place the infurgents re-appeared. However fome of them were taken, and a a gentleman of family, was feized and fent prifoner to the Caftle of Dublin, whe he still remains. Several county meetings have been held and refolutions taken to apply to par liament for redrels of the grievances of which the people complain, in refpect to tyther. A carved |
