Thos.Clouter, alias Atkins, and Wm. Clouter, alias Atkins, two notorious offenders, lately residing at North Curry, were last week apprehended at Barrington, by the exertions of the tithing man of North Curry, and fully committed for trial at the Assizes, on three several charges of felony. A fourth charge was also preferred against them ; but the evidence, though morally convincing, was not sufficiently clear to substantiate their guilt.
