London. . . By a letter from Shropshire we have an account,
that a shop keeper of Newport in that county, (who had been
long suspected of carrying on a criminal corrospondence with
another man's wife) was last Saturday se'nnight in the
evening caught in a barn with his mistress, by the husband,
who (on information of the intended meeting had concealed
himself in the straw, and who, with the assistance of some
friends quallified the gallant for the opera, in case he
long survives the operation, which is doubtful, as he now
lies in a very dangerous condition.
