CHRONICLE. 
Pagliano’s Hotel to serve the war- 
_rant, he was informed they were 
goneto Marlborough-street office, 
to obtaina warrant against Robert 
Milward, the huntsman. On his 
going again to the hotel, he saw 
them, when they promised to be 
at the office by a certain time to 
answer the charge preferred 
against them, which they accord- 
ingly did, and came in Colonel 
Thornton’s carriage, when it ap- 
peared that Colonel Thornton 
went to France about four months 
since, leaving Robert Milward in 
his employ on his estate near Bath 
as huntsman. The colonel re- 
turned to England about a month 
since, and has been living at Pag- 
liano’s Hotel during that time. 
Yesterday se’nnight Robert Mil- 
ward arrived in London, and since 
that time he has been repeatedly 
with the Colonel for the payment 
of bis wages, &c. amounting to 
87/1. The Colonel disputed some 
of the amount, and said he should 
refer it to a Mr. Brace ; however, 
at the interview which he had 
with the Colonel on Monday 
evening, he told him he had no 
money to pay for his food or ne- 
cessary expenses, and therefore he 
must have some money ; and the 
Colonel refusing to give him any, 
and the huntsman refusing to 
leave the room except he had some, 
the above force was used to get 
him out. The Magistrate held 
that the huntsman was a tres- 
passer, after being ordered out : 
the warrant was discharged. 
30.—The will of the celebrated 
Joanna Southcott passed the seal 
of the Prerogative Court of Can- 
terbury on the 28th ult., the let- 
ters of administration, granted in 
January last to William Southcott, 
31 
the brother, having been revoked 
by decree of the Court. She has 
left a few trifling legacies to re- 
lations, and the residue, in case 
of no issue male, to Mrs, Jane 
Townley and Ann Underwood, 
her executrix. There is a clause, 
directing restitution of the vari- 
ous presents made in expectation 
of the birth of a male child, in 
case of no such event, to the re- 
spective devotees; and reference 
is made to a book containing a 
catalogue of their names and of- 
ferings, which it has been neces- 
sary to record with the testamen- 
tarypapers. Every possible want 
and accommodation seems to have 
been anticipated with scrupulous 
attention. There are cradles, 
robes, mantles (some of white 
satin), bows, caps, and napkins 
out of number, several articles of 
plate, money from “six guineas’’ 
to a “ pretty sixpence” so deno- 
minated, ‘three nutmegs” by 
One contributor, and ‘a pin” by 
another.

8.—This evening Mrs. Kay, 
who resides at the King’s-head, 
in Bear-street, Leicester-square, 
went outa short distance, leav- 
ing her four children locked in a 
room on the second floor. Shortly 
after, several of the neighbours, 
as well as those in the house, 
were alarmed with their piercing 
screams, but unhappily no person 
attempted to burst open the door, 
until the unfortunate woman re- 
turned, who, on opening the door, 
foundtwo of thechildrenstretched 
onthe floor involved in flames, and 
the other two hid in the corner,
