Th the courfe of the aft month a difcovery 
Was made of confiderable impdrtancé to the 
traders of the town of Ipfwich. Mr. Wm. 
Notcutt, Mr. Willis, Mr. Conder, and 
others in thé linen-drapery bufinefs, have 
for many months paft miffed coffiderable 
quantities of printed cottons, muflins, cali- 
coes, &c. &c. but no vigilance on ney part 
could lead to a deteétion of the thief, Ac- 
cident, however, led to the fufpicion of a 
women, who had been frequently feen in 
their feveral fhops : the was apprehended on 
Sunday the 8th a May, and in the cour/e of 
a very minute examination on the following 
days, it appeared that fhe had Jong cafried on 
the nefarious bufinefs, and had foid the ftolen 
3 
articles to a variety of perfons in the town 
and its neighbourhood, as fmuggled goods, or 
as bargains purchafed at an au¢tion. We re- 
gret that our cuty obliges us to fay that 
printed cottens which coft in London 4s. 6d. 
per yard, were traced to perfons in a very re= 
{peciable rank of life, who had purchafed 
them at 2s, 6d. and muflins which coft 5s. 9d, 
were fold for 2s. 6d. and in fome cafes much 
lower. A little confideration might have 
convinced thefe perfons, whofe names we 
{pare, that articles thus fold could not have 
been hhoneftly obtained. We hope this will 
be a caution to perfons in general againtt pur- 
chafing what are called dargams, but. which 
are in fact, ftclen goods: too frequently in 
the comntey, as in this cafe, encouragers 
of thet are, though withestlllfvecting it, 
people of tefpeGab ole charaéter. 
Several meetings have been lately held at 
Ip{wich, by a number of the moft relpectable 
inhabitants, to deliberate upon the pra¢ticabi- 
lity of deepening the river, fo as to make it 
navigable for fhips of larger burthenthan what 
now frequent the fame, to come up to Stoke 
Bridge, infead of Dunham-reach, about three 
iniles from thence. Should the fcheme be 
deemed feafible, and carried into effeét, the 
advantages would be evident; and Ipf{wich 
thereby rendered of encreafed commercial

; KENT, 
t ara certain minutes colle€ted 
from the ancient: recotds and accounts in the 
chamber of Canterbury, oar publifhed in 
the Kentifh Chronicle, t this city exifted 
in the time of the a Bieieohd, and even 
before the Roman empire had extended itfelf 
into Britain. 
Antonnius, now mere than 1500 years old, 
Mentions Canterbury as being then a city, @ 
si which is ftrongly dorrabioratel by the 
emains of the double military way leading 
from Dover and Lymme, through the city, as 
well as by a variety of other Roman veftiges! 
yet extant in and about the city and its neigh- 
bourhood. By the Remans and Romanized 
Britons, it was called by the names of Duro=" 
curnui, DarvernumDorever nia, and Dorsbernia. 
The Anglo-Saxons named it Cant-ward-burg,’ 
which the Latinifts of thofe times modelled in- 
to Cantuaria, which the Englifh called the city 
Tt appear 
of Canterbury, formerly written Cawnterbury | 
and Canterburie ; by which name it has been 
generally known from about the epoch of the 
Norman Conqueft.. From the Heptarchy to 
the Conqueft, the city appears to have always 
hada fpecial and diftiné magiftrate, appointed’ 
by the king, with the title of prefect, ports 
reeve, or provoft, to prefide over it.. The 
book of Doomfday, dated A.D. 1080, de= 
fcribes Canterbury as one entire hundred, un- 
der the name of the hundred of Canterbury 5 
a circumftance which fhews that the city was. 
not then divided into wards. It, however, 
at, or foon after, the conqueft, affuméd a 
different kind of government ; the fingle bes” 
ing changed into a double portreeve, or 
provoft, termed prepofiti, who, in time,’ 
ave place to other magiftrates, calied” 
bailiffs, alfo of the king’s appointment. 
In this manner Canterbury continued to be: 
governed till Henry III. by charter, A. Do 
1234, granted his city of Canterbury to the 
citizens in fee-farm, for ever, at the rent of © 
6ol. per annum, payable in the exchequer; 
and likewife authorifed them to choofe their 
own bailiffs. Under this form of government 
Canterbury remained, with two bailiffs, fix. 
aldermen, and ° cuir fix worfhipful men, 
afterwards denominated cammon-council, and’ 
who were the bailifis’ afiftants putin of 
200 yeats 5 when Henry VI. by two charters, 
@ated in ox years 1448 and 1453, new mo-=
