Meffis. Beverly, Crofs, and Co. was difcovered 
to be on fire. It raged with fuch fury as to 
ceftioy the works and buildings in little more 
than 40 minutes. 
On the 16th of Sept. a dreadful fire broke 
put at a {mall village called Eaft Witton. The 
‘buildings, being moftly covered with thatch, 
burnt with fuch irrefiftible fury, as in the courfe 
of a few hours to deftroy 16 dwelling houfes 
and out-buildings, with a large quantity of coin 
and implements of hufbandry; all of which 
_ were uninfured. 
_ Among the other felons lately ordered from 
York Cattle for Botany Bay, is the noted high- 
‘wayman Broadbent, alias New Brafs, long the 
terror of this county. For ability in planning 
his enterprifes, and for courage and conftancy of 
mind in executing them, Broadbent is unrivalled 
in his profeffion: nor has there been fince the 
memorable days of Turpin, a more fuccefsful 
adventurer in the line,’ in number and variety 
of achievements, and audacity of exploits.

_ ptoach to the water fide, they will afcend to the 
furface, and even take the food out ef his hands.
