15. On Tuesday last at Milton in Buckinghamshire near Newport Pagnell, about Eleven in the Forenoon, a rumbling Noise, like Thunder at a Distance, was heard at the Bottom of that Town, near the Pond, where a Man and his Wife went out of Doors and perceived the Tops of the Willows to shake, and heard an Hissing in the Pond, as if a large Ball of red hot Iron had been thrown into it, from which there arose a Smoke and the Water seemed to boil, throwing up Waves seven or eight Feet high; and at near the same Time the like Agitation was perceived in the Ford leading to Broughton, by a Person who was at work hard by. Our Correspondent says, he was not an Eye-witness of either of these Commotions, but that he heard an uncommon Noise about that Time, that he had made Enquiry, and had no Reason to doubt the Truth of the Fact, though no Tremour of the Earth was then perceived.

19. L---r and B --n were the Officers who killed the Post-Chaise Boy. Wh. Ev. Post.
20. That Cruelty and Cowardice are generally inseparable, has been verified in the Circumstances of the Murder committed by two Officers of the Army on the Driver of a Post-Chase, mentioned in our last : From the Particulars we have since collected it appears, that one of them knocked him down, and, as he lay under the Horse's Feet, the other ran him through the Body with so much Violence, that his Sword stuck in the Ground; and the two inhuman Monsters even beat and slash'd him after he had received his Death- Wound. In the mean while the Driver of another Post-Chaise, which was a little a-head of them, alighted in order to save his Comrade (as they belong'd to the same Master) and had doubtless been served in the same manner, had he not been a stout sturdy Fellow, and kept them at Bay with his Whip; for it seem these Sons of Mars could not fight when they met with any Resistance. A Man that was hedging at a little distance, and saw the tragical Affair, came up next, arm'd with his Bill, and set upon one of the Captains, swearing he would cleave him down if he did not instantly deliver up his sword, which the Officer readily complied with, and so was secure'd, while the other ran away. But a Butcher riding by at that Instant, and gallant Hedger gave the Prisoner in Charge of him, and ran after the other Captain, whom he overtook and disarmed in a like Manner. ---- And now let us inform our Readers of the Occasion of this barbarous Deed. --- Those Officers were recruiting at Gravesend, and after spending some Days there, long'd to see a Play: Accordingly they took a Post-Chaise for this important Business; but fearing they should not be at the Play-house time enough, at the Rate the Post-Boy drove, in their Rage and Fury for so material a Disappointment, they committed this shockingly barbarous and cowardly Act.--- The Coroner's Inquest have set on the Body, and brought in their Verdict Wilful Murder, whereupon the Murderers are committed to Maidstone Gaol. Lond. Ev. Post.
21. We are assured that the following is an authentic Account of the unhappy Murder of Mr. Martin. Yesterday se'nnight, about Eleven at Night, J. Ogle, Esq.; Captain of Dragoons on the Irish Establishment, came into Mr. Martin's House, and told him that he was locked out of his Lodgings, and must therefore sit up there that Night: Mr. Martin said that he wished he could have accommodated him with a Bed, but as he could not, if he pleased he would sit up with him. They drank but three Pints of Wine between that and Four o'Clock, when they went to sleep, and were wakened about Seven by the Poker falling out of the Fire, when the Captain said he would go home: On Mr. Martin's telling him there were three Pints of Wine to pay for, he drew his Cuteau unperceived by Mr. Martin, who was behind him, and striking it under his left Arm, stabbed him in his Bowels, and doing this same twice over his Shoulder, wounded him in the Temple and Neck: Mr. Martin calling out Murder, the Captain was secured; and being carried before the Justice, was asked by him how he could commit so shocking an Action; to which he answered, that there were two others in Company, one a tall black Gentleman who did it, on which he was taken back to the House, and conducted to Mr. Martin's Bed-side, who being informed of what the Captain told the Justice, declared, on the Word of a dying man, that there were only the Captain and himself together all the Night, and that he had given him the Wound; whereon the Justice committed him to Jail. The Coroner brought in a Verdict Wilful Murder by a Lunatick; and a Commission of Lunacy has since been taken out against him. His Behaviour to a noble Lord at the Opera, to a Gentleman of Distinction at the Assembly at Mount's Coffee-house, &c. &c. within a Month past, prove he was Non compos, and reflects on his Friends for permitting him to go Armed. Ev. Adv.
22. On Wednesday Night Iast four young Bucks rutting at a House in the Purlieus or Covent-Garden, two of them being much in Wine, and in Love with a Doe there, drew their Swords to decide who should have her: After a few Thrusts they were parted by their Friends, who broke one of the Combatant's Swords. They adjourned from thence to sup at the Shakespear's-Head, where the Gentleman who had begun the Quarrel, insisted on its being terminated there. His Opponent observing that he could not give him Satisfaction then for want of a Sword, one of the others lent him his. The Clash of Weapons alarmed the Master of the House, who, with his Servants, &c. run into the Room to prevent Bloodshed, when one of them run the Cook thro' the Body; who, if he dies, as is apprehended he will, will make the third Murder committed in less than a Week, and two thro' Debauchery.Ev.
