     We hear that on Friday Night the 22d past, as Mr. James Hodson, a Merchant well known in this City, was going home from where he had supped, he found a Woman on her Knees in Castle-street, begging her Life from a Soldier, how seemed to threaten it; this Gentleman humanely interposed, by desiring the Watch to take him into their Custody; But for this Act of Humanity, he was ill rewarded by the Serjeant of the Main-Guard, Daniel McKenzie, who was a looker on; this military Gentleman without further Provocation, gave Mr. Hodson several severe Strokes on the head with his Fist. When our fellow Citizen extricated himself from this GUARDIAN OF THE PUBLIC, he went directly to the Main-Guard-House, to lay his Complaint before the Officer, but was answered, that "he was not there, nor did they know where he was." Notwithstanding this Obstruction, at coming at the Delinquent, We have the Pleasure of informing the Public, that by Mr. Hodson's Perseverence and the seasonable Assistance of our Chief Magistrate, McKenzie was taken, and brought under proper Guard, to the Justice Office, where Examinations were taken against him, and Sureties given, that he shall take his Trial for said Offence at the next Quarter Sessions to be held for this City.
