The Virginia Gazette

By Captain Hardcastle, from Jamaica, we learn that a day or two before he sailed two men, lately arrived at that island, were taken up and committed to prison by virtue of an express from London. It seems they were ticket porters, and had been intrusted with 2000 guineas, with which they made off for Jamaica, from whence they intended to go to different parts. One of them, when taken, had 200 guineas in his possession; the other was taken on board a small vessel, going to another part of the island, but had not above 40 guineas, though he had sworn against the Captain of the vessel, who, he said, broke open his trunk, and robbed him. The Captain and his Negroes were likewise confined in gaol, for further examination.
