AN advertisement appearing in the SALISBURY JOURNAL of the 15th instant, That a large and substantial Dwelling House, situate on the Cornhill, in the Borough of Dorchester, in the occupation of

Mr.Robert Stickland:-
Mr.FISHER, in justice to himself, least it may tend to his prejudice, by conveying an idea to the public that he has not a permanent, but an uncertain establishment of his trade in this house, subject to the will of another at a moment's notice, thinks it proper to declare, in the same public manner, that (whatever may be the motive for thus describing him to be tenant at will) he is entitled to this house for a lease of fourteen years, commencing from the 5th of April, 1781; and that such lease was granted,
Mr.Fisher appeals to his attorney therein, the above
Mr.Robert Stickland, who prepared the same, and also witnessed the execution of it.

SALISBURY, July 22.
We are in daily expectation of a Conge d'Elire, recommending
Dr.Barrington to the see of Salisbury.- A long and repeated Royal Promise, the almost unanimous with of the Diocese, and his Lordship's most exemplary character, unite in giving him the preference.
A few days since died at Wimborne, Dorset, after a long illness,
Mrs.Abigail Butt, sister to the late
Rev.Mr.Butt; a lady of singular accomplishments and great good sense.
A few days since died suddenly,
Mr.Thomas Crease, of Shinfield, near Reading, much esteemed and respected by a numerous acquaintance for his punctuality and integrity in his extensive dealings.
Friday was married
Mr.Christopher Deaven, of Pewsey, between 60 and 70 years of age, to the
Widow Weston, of Devizes, a very agreeable lady, and his fifth wife.
At our assizes, which ended on Tuesday last,
Martha Avery, for burglariously breaking the house of
George Stephens, at Hullavington, and stealing a bag, containing twenty guineas, a note of hand for £100. and divers goods, was capitally convicted, but afterwards reprieved.-
Edward Mathews, for stealing two sides of bacon, the property of
William Carpenter, at Wroughton, was sentenced to be transported to Africa for seven years; and
Edmund White was acquitted.
A curious cause came on to be tried at this assizes before
Mr.Justice Heath :- A gentleman residing near Chippenham, in this county, became acquainted with a pretty young widow in the neighbourhood, paid his addresses to her, and prevailed upon her to accompany him to Bath, that they might be "made one flesh." The lady assenting, they went to a bagnio at Bath, where a person dressed in canonical habiliments (a femaIe) and called the Archbishop, officiated and performed the marriage service. A little time developed the artifice, and convinced the lady she was still a widow: But the scene was not to cIose here; her admirer had lent her £100. and having occasion for the money, demanded it, and as it was not in her power to discharge it, he arrested her; she was committed to Fisherton gaol, and lay there nearly five months. Relating her story to
Mrs.Chartres, the female atiorney, she procured her bail, and also advised her to bring an action against the gentleman for his breach of promise to marry her. The cause was undertaken and conducted by
Mr.Lloyd, of Gray's-Inn; and as the charge was fully proved to the satisfaction of a crowded Court, the Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of £200. damages, with full costs of suit. - It would be vain our attempting to follow
Messrs. Grose and Batt in their learned arguments and pleadings for their fair cIient; nor must we endeavour to describe the convulsive peals of laughter that repeatedly arose from many curious circumstances which appeared in the course of the trial.- We hear the lady is not yet satisfied, but has now preferred an indictment for an assault and attempt to commit a rape. - A very curious love letter was produced, and read in Court, to the great entertainment of the audience: Having the original, we would present our readers with a copy of it; but as the law has perhaps sufficiently punished the seducer, charity induces us to suppress it.
A cause similar to the above was also brought on by a female of Aldbourne, in this county, against her sweetheart, a carter, who had got her with child, and refused to fulfil his promise of marriage. The Jury gave a verdict of £100. damages, and costs of suit, for the plaintiff.
At this assizes
Thomas Mann Gunn, of Cricklade, was indicted for perjury, but acquitted, as no evidence appeared to support the prosecution.
At the general quarter sessions for this county, held last week at Warminster,
Thomas Hagg, for breaking into the cellar of
Tho.Callard, of Trowbridge, and drawing a large quantity of strong beer;
Rich.Jaques, for stealing 13 geese, the property of
Wm.Pritchall;
Wm.Laws, for stealing a quantity of sheep-skins, the property of
Tho.Pearce, of Imber; and
Geo.Brimson, for leaving his family chargeable to the parish of Maiden Bradley, were ordered to be sent for soldiers.
Rich.Olliff for stealing a small cask, the property of
Geo.Bowden, was sentenced to be privately whipt; and four were discharged.
At Dorchester assizes,
Joseph Bailey, for burglariously stealing out of the house of
James Baverstock, several kinds of wearing apparel, was capitally convicted.-
Mary Campbell, for stealing 12 yards of ribbon, and 11 handkerchiefs, to be imprisoned one year, and privately whipt.-
Thomas Childs,
Eliz.Collins, and
John Ingram, were acquitted. -
Wm.Cruttwell, committed for uttering a certain newspaper, called
The Sherborne Journal, with a counterfeit stamp on the same, was bailed until the next assizes, several witnesses on the part of the prosecution not being able to attend.
At this assizes a cause was expected to be tried under an issue directed from the Court of Exchequer, " Whether there are, or are not, moduses of 8d. and 6d. for cows and heifers, payable in lieu of tythe milk and calves, within the parish of Symondsbury, in the county of Dorset." Many witnesses were sub-poenaed, but the Clergyman gave up his claim, and established the old modus.
At this assizes a cause was tried between a
Mr.Robinson, clerk to
Mr.Bannington (who travels in the linen and haberdashery business) and
Mr.Ellis, (who keeps a shop in the same business at Wimborne) for an assault; on which a verdict, with 40 shillings damages, was given for the plaintiff.
At the same assizes was tried, an action, brought by the above
Mr.Hannington, against
Mr.Ellis, for scandal and defamation, which was decided in favour of the defendant. The Counsel on both these actions were, for the plaintiff,
Mr.Serjeant Kirby,
Mr.Lawrence, and
Mr.Bond; for the defendant,
Mr.Morris (King's Counsel) and
Mr.Serjeant Grose.
Friday afternoon two women, genteelly dressed, were apprehended and carried before his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for this city, at the Council Chamber, for defrauding one
Pavey of a sheet, and a woman, his neighbour, of an apron. - lt appeared that they arrived here on Wednesday last by a returned post-chaise from Andover, that they put up at the Three Lions, and had applied to these people for the sheet and apron to pack up some smuggled goods. They gave but a very indifferent account of themselves, said they were sisters, and their name was
Brown, that they lived in Newport, in the Isle of Wight, and came last from Lymington. The fraud of the sheet and apron being fully proved, they were committed for further examination.
And on Saturday they underwent a second examination at the Workhouse, where they were confined: It appeared, that refusing to go to bed Friday evening, and being refractory, they were suspected to be men disguised, and were examined by some matrons, when under their hoops were found concealed the sheet and apron, which they had on Friday strenuously denied having received, also table linen, aprons, and handkerchiefs, with various pieces of plate, marked with different cyphers, particularly a cream ewer, several table and tea-spoons, tea-tongs, castor, punch ladle, cup, &c. &c. They were remanded into custody, and orders given to advertise them, which will doubtless lead to further discoveries, as they are no novices in their profession.
The artifice used by these women for the concealment of goods, reminds us of the fashion in the reign of Q.Elizabeth, of wearing great breeches called
trunk hose; when a man, accused of wearing these breeches contrary to law, (for a law was made against them) by way of excuse drew out of them a pair of sheets, two table cloths, 10 napkins, 4 shirts, a brush, a gIass, a comb, with night-caps, &c. saying, "Your worships may understand, that because I have no safer storehouse, these pockets do serve me to lay up my goods in, and though it be a straight prison, yet it is big enough for them, for I have many things of value yet therein:" - and so was his defence accepted, and well laughed at. ---
see Manners and Customs of the English, by Strutt, vol. 3. p.84.
A few days since a woman, a little disordered in her senses, jumpt into a well at Calne, in this county. The water is upwards of six feet deep, and she remained in the well upwards of two hours before she was discovered, when she was brought up very little hurt, having supported herself above the surface of the Water, by resting her back on one side, and her knees against the other.
A melancholy affair happened at Blandford a few days since: As some workmen were building a new oven, after the crown was finished, the earth, which was laid on the bed of it in order to turn the arch upon, being nearly taken out, and the abutment giving way, the arch fell in upon a boy, and buried him in the ruins, and though all expedition was used, he was taken out dead; and a man very narrowly escaped, having come out of it just before this misfortune happened.
Tuesday
William Williams, a poor lad, about 12 years of age, fell from a waggon at Alderbury, and was killed on the spot.

I Return you many thanks for the very numerous appearance in my favour at the Meeting this day held for nominating a proper person to be elected a Verdurer of tbe New Forest, in the place of my late father; and although I am satisfied from the number of my friends present, that the nomination would have been in my favour, yet as the same might probably have led to a contested election, and as I found it the general wish of my Friends, as well as the friends of my opponent, to preserve if possible the peace of the county, I chose, as the younger man, to give way, and to sacrifice my private ambition to their quiet; and feel myself highly flattered by the unanimous resolution come to at the said meeting in consequence thereof, of supporting me upon the next vacancy. Happy in your approbation, it shall be the future study of my life to deserve it, and to approve myself, Gentlemen,
Your most obliged, obedient, humble servant,
PETER SERLE.

CITY of NEW SARUM.
A FRAUD.
WHEREAS two WOMEN, who call themselves
ELIZABETH and
HANNAH BROWN, and say they came from Newport, in the Isle of Wight, were apprehended on Friday last, and carried before his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for this city, charged by
William Newman, of the Three Lions Inn, with endeavouring to defraud him of 12s. 4d. their bill for entertainment at his house; also charged by
Joseph Pavey and
Mary Potts, with having obtained from them, by false pretences, a dowlass sheet and apron. And on the examination of the said
Elizabeth and
Hannah Brown, there were found upon them one silver cream mug, marked with F.E.M. in a cypher; one small silver punch ladle, with a whalebone handle; 7 silver tea-spoons, one marked J.S.M. one other R.E.H. cypher engraved; one pap-spoon, marked E.T. one salt-spoon, one tea strainer, one pair of tea-tongs, one salt cellar, one top of a pepper-box, silver, one silver tooth-pick case, with tambour needles in it, one small silver two-handled child's cup, one pair of plated shoe-buckles, two thimbles, 5 muslin aprons, 6 Holland ditto, 2 sheets, one marked R.B.J.M. 4 India spotted silk handkerchiefs; also several pewter tankards, with cyphers. - One is a stout-made young woman, dressed in a chocolate-coloured gown, has dark-brown hair, and hazle eyes: The other has round regular features, light-coloured hair, is dressed in a cotton gown, with running sprigs, and a chocolate ground, trimmed with green silk; both had on black silk cloaks.- By their own account they came last from Lymington, but on the oath of a post-chaise driver, they came on Wednesday to Salisbury from Andover. -- From the preceding and other circumstances which appeared on their examination, there is sufficient cause to apprehend the aforesaid goods are dishonestly come by: Any person who can prove a property therein, or has any allegation to make, is desired to give immediate notice to
Mr.Turner, Town-Clerk.

SIR,
GRATITUDE obliges me to send you my case, to do justice to your Drops. About Michaelmas last I was suddenly seized with a violent pain in one of my knees, which increased and settled in my legs and right hand, and rendered me so weak and infirm that I was not able to walk without crutches, nor to lift my hand up to my head for six weeks. In this miserab!e condition,
Mr.Miles of Nethernaven, not far from where I live, who had been cured of the rheumatism, of many years standing, by your Drops, prevailed on me to try them, which I accordingly did, and after taking about five half-crown bottles, (which I sent for to
Messrs.Collins and Johnson, in Salisbury) I recovered the use of my limbs, and soon after my usual health and strength, and have now the satisfaction to inform you, that by the blessing of God, and the use of your inestimable Drops alone, for I took norhing else, (that did me any sort of good) I am as well and able to do business as ever I was in my life, which I desire you will publish for the benefit of others. I am your very humble servant,
Richard Piper.
