limbrick was charged with theex- ecution of these warrants and he shortly returned to the othcewith his fair prison ers in a hackney coach they were in stantly placed before the magistrate and mr john sullivan u being tmt duly sworn deposed with au air of vast im portance to the following effect he had formerl been thrown by fortuitous cir cumstances as an inmate in the ime family with the prisoner mis sullivan and he had beeu unfortunate enoon to torm a connection ot a tender nature with her the issue of which tenderness had beeu two fine children these children he had amply provided for and in
