EAST-HADDAM, Nov. 28. On the night after the 23 instant, two persons, viz, one Porter a noted villain, belonging to Waterbury, and one Parker of Wallingford stole forty sheep, chiefly the property of one man in Waterbury, and drove them to this town. The affair was conducted with so much secrecy, that they arrived safe, and having accomplished their business, Parker set out to return home with his new flock of sheep, &c. But the scene soon changed; the poor man was met by two pursuers, who had found out the place of their destination, and apprehended him, and put him under keepers until they had pursued and overtaken his accomplice. This day, we hear, they are to be handcuffed together, turned among the flock of sheep, and driven back to Waterbury.
