10. Lord George Gordon was apprehended at Birmingham, by Mr. Macmanus, on the 7th inftant, on a warrant from judge Buller, for a contempt of court. It appears, that he has lived at Birmingham ever fince Auguft laft, converf ing with nobody but the Jews, whofe mode of drefs and manners he has affumed, and to whofe religion, it is faid, he has profeffed himself a profelyte. His lordship made fome fcruple, at first, to travel on the fabbath: yet, though he might have been bailed till the day following, he chofe to furrender to the judge, by whofe warrant he was apprehended. He fet out accordingly from Birmingham the fame evening, or early next morning, and arrived at London on the 8th in the evening, but too late to be received into the king's bench prifon, and was therefore lodged at the grand hotel, Covent-garden, and next day delivered into the cuftody of the marfhal. He appears with a beard of an extraordinary length, and the ufual raiment of the Jews.

The judge faid, it was the order of the crown, and must be obeyed. His lordflip was carried to Newgate in a hackney coach with a tipftaff. Lord George, whilst he refided in Birmingham, lodged in one of the dirtieft houfes in Dudley-street, where the Jews chiefly inhabit.

2c. An action was tried fome time ago in Weftminder-hall, which from the frequency of the offence complained of ought to be made known, that those who are unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of rapacious bailiffs, and who may not have the means of procuring legal advice, may fee at once whether they are impofed upon in the payment of fees.
