     Wednesday last, Valentine Connor was whipped a second Time from Newgate to College-green. The High Sheriff attended to compel the Executioner to give the Delinquent the Correction due to his atrocious Crimes. And to their Honour we mention it, that regardless of the Multitude assembled on this Occasion, they supported their Authority, and preserved the Dignity of the City, without the Assistance of a single red Coat, without such till now, the civil Laws were seldom executed, nay not a Proclamation promulgated against the most notorious Offenders, or Breakers of the Peace. Hence we hope, the Spirit revived by our present City, and County High Sheriffs, will animate all other Peace Officers to follow their Example, by leaving the military Gentlemen to their immediate Department.
