London, Aug. 22.  Some days since, the wife of a porter
having sworn the peace against him, he was committed by the
justice to Bridewell, and on Tuesday, a great body of his
Fraternity and Chairmen went to intercede for his
enlargement, in which succeeding, they put him into a chair
with a drum, which he beat as he was carried thro' the
Strand, attended with the loud Huzza's of the vulgar, which
was very diverting tho' ridiculous procession.
