Maidenhead, March 7

The town and neighbourhood is infested with a gang of thieves, and depredations are nightly committed; some parties are strongly suspected, and it is to be hoped that the career of these midnight marauders will soon be stopped.

On the night of Tuesday an alarm of fire was raised in the town, which turned out to be a quantity of furze on Maidenhead Thicket, which was set on fire by some evil disposed person.

The same night the butler of Sir Henry Watson, of Shottesbrook, lost his life by falling off the top of the house, whither he had gone to ascertain at what place the fire was.

The Frederick Family have given three concerts at Great Marlow this week, which have been very respectably attended, and the performance of this talented family gave the greatest satisfaction.

Great Marlow, March 7

The long pending cause Shank demandant, Townsend tenant, on a writ of right for the recovery of the Finnimore Estate, in the parish of Lewknor, Oxon, near Great Marlow, was decided at Oxford, on Wednesday last, where, after an investigation of more than six hours, a verdict was obtained for the tenant, by the proof of fines passed about eighty years since to cut off the entail.

John Juster, a journeyman of Mr.Robert Maddock's, carpenter, of Great Marlow, was set at liberty at the Bucks Assizes. Juster was accused of receiving deals supposed to have been stolen from the Commissioners of the Thames Navigation. In the indictment he (Juster) and the suspected thieves were charged with stealing and receiving deals from the Commissioners of the Thames - the omission of the word Navigation being to them the happy cause of their acquittal.
