Williamsburg, December 8.  Last Friday night about 11
o'clock, the play-house in this city was broke open by one
white man and two Negroes, who violently assaulted and
wounded Patrick Malony, servant to the company, by knocking
him down, and throwing him upon the iron-spikes, one of
which run into his leg, by which he hung for a considerable
time, till he was relieved by some Negroes:  The villains
that perpetrated this horrid fact escaped, but a reward is
offered for apprehending them, and as the aforesaid Patrick
Malony continues dangerously ill of his wounds, it is hoped
they will be taken and brought to justice.
