The night being dark, he might have cflected
his escape, had it not been for the sagacity and
courage of the dog, who pursued him for some
distance, but at last came up with him, seized
and held him fast until the arrival of Mr, Schure-

his way to the Watch house, he threw from him
a chiscl, which had been used to force the coffins.
The Counsel for the accused rested his delence
on the ground of the prisoner being intoxicated,

NOTICE
TO COLLECTOR
By the act of the 11th of March 1822,
power of collectors to collect county taxes up’
the act, was limited to two years; that period
has now elapsed, and as it is presumed that the
collectors have received the amount of their
respective duplicates, the Commissioners have
directed me to give this notice, that unless they
come forward on or before the first Monday of
August next, and discharge the ballances due
diately thereafter, without respect to persons.
Collectors of 1822 wiil consider themselves in-
cluded in this notice, more especially as John
Keller and James James collectors of 1823 have
shown that it is possible to collect the amount
of large duplicates within one year at farthest.
The former has settled and paid his account iz
