London, January 7. Some time since the following affair
happened at Hinchinbrook, the seat of the Earl of Sandwich;
A Captain of a recruiting party, at Huntington, went several
times on his Lordship's manor to shoot, &c. the Earl
severely reprimanding him, one night the Captain took a
Serjeant, two soldiers and a drummer, carries them to
Hinchinbrook, and broke several windows in his Lordship's
house, one of which was a fine old painted window,
containing all the coats of arms belonging to that ancient
family, which window his Lordship cannot replace for less
than ten thousand pounds. The offenders are now in
Huntington jail.
