He said, "I will not par you unl e ss y ou promise to bring down some more this evening." I promised to meat bins, sceorciingly, at 8 o'clock. He then cams °staid' the pub'ic house with me, leaving the beg and con tents in the parlour, and gave me 11. and 3s. In silver, and said he would give me the other two in the evening. I asked hint why be geoid cot give me the 2s. at once. as he could change a sovereign if he bad no more silver. He mid it *maid look sir picnics to change a sovereign at the bar, but offered me a pawnbroker's nuplicat• to hold as a security for the payment of the money. He then gave me the duplicate of the cloak and hood. I promised to meet him again in the everiug but tiid not do so. I went into a public house in Leman-street, Gdodman's•fields, and tried to change cue of the shillings; the barmen thought It looked rather dull, and tried it in the counterfeit coin &Wear and retuned me the shitliog as a bad one. I name out and walked op Whitechapel, and tried the other 2s. tbst Hart had given me, they were both so bad th.t I easily broke them in two pd cis Ls nay mouth. I threw ttam all away, and finding them bad I s. int into a pie shop near the City Foundling Hospice), and tried to change the sovereign I had received from Hart, but the young worn.n in the shop said it was a very doubtful colts, and refuted to take it. I then went to Hyde Park Gardens, wh:re I met • friend. 'bowed him the sovereign, and he advised me to try to pats ir, and then I should soon find out whether it was g iod or not. I went into a butter shop for th a t purpose, and the shopkeeper having tested the cove. reign, said it was a genuine piece of gold, but that it had been well sweated. He gave me change, and deducted 8.1. to allow for the light weight. At the time that I come out of the public house with Hart, Levy and the other man ' were standing at the door, but they went away directly we came out ; and Hart, after paying me returned in'o the public house to look atter the goods he had left in the parlour lying on the bagatelle board. The piece of canvas produced and marked " W, W," and with the name of " Griffin " upon it, is a part of the bag that I cot off in the tobacconist's shop in St. Martin's-le Grand, because Hert told me to put them in a bag, but to be very careful that there was no mark upon it. I did not know what gusn city of goods there w.a in the bag when !mid them to Ilan. There is a long narrow p.assge leading through the public house iota some back preMlllll. When I heard the whistle I heard Hart running along this passage directly he left the room, and had communicated with Levy, who was keeping watch. During the whole of the time the bag with the goods was not removed from the parlour, and when I was about to ' leave, Hart said, " C +me outside, and I'll pay you for these ti logs." I have no more to say, except that I did not remain In the bons., that Webb watched me into more than a minute. I only rayed to drink a glass of ale. Crose-examinett by the prisoner Levy—l have seen Levy on two *cessions, and both times in company with Hart. During the whole of this statement Hart was eon•tantly interrupting the wham by asserting his incurrence in ever manner he could devise, and wondering how each a youth could so swear away his (Hart's) live. Levy said be had been in the employ of Mr. Lawrence Levy for the last eight years, and he was in a position to prove that he was not in company with Hart at all on - - 4 Hart said he knew no more of the primmer Newland, who had just glean evidence against him or the charge, than the child unborn, and he thought it very hard that a lad should have the power and be allowed to swear away the life of an innocent and an honest man. Alderman Finnic—l consider the evidence of such a weighty character, that I am induced to remand this case for • few days for further inquiry ; but I will allow Levy the whole of the afternoon to produce some person who may be capable of proving that he was not with Hart on Monday lest. If what he has aimed with respect to the mistakt n identity of himself can be substantiated by any member of his empliyees establishment, there will be no occasion to detain him in mustily on the present charge. No one appearing to establiat the alibi Levy sot up, all three prisoners were aceadiagly remanded. CLESKEN WELL. SERIOUS CHAROI AGAINST a DINTDIT.IIr. Samuel Reads'', dentist, &c, of No. 14, Brunswick-square, was charged by Elizabeth Reid, his servant, spd 18, with having violated her. Mr. Jarman, from the office of Mr. Humphries, the soli eitnr, attended on the pert of the prisoner. The prosecutriz said that she entered the service of the prisoner in October last as servant of all work. On Friday morning lest, about 11, ber mistress left home, she (witneu) remaining with the prisiner's niece in the kitchen. The prisoner was in the upper part of the house. In about five minutes after her =jamas had left witness heard the prisoner call " Henrietta," his hi,oe,when she (witness) told him that she had g9ne out, and he then culled her to come up emirs. She went up stairs to her mistress's bedroom to make the bed, and whilst d ing so the prisoner entered the apartment and locked and :wilted the door, on which be came up to her. Proaccutriz here desetibed the prisoner's proceedings, which amounted to a perpetration of a capital crime, and went on to say that afterwatds she felt faint and cold, end nearly lost her senses. She cried when the pet. eons, came towards her uni:ing She turned her back upon him, on which he kia.ll her. When be was going out of the room she told him that she would leave her situation. 6707;ist to her room, sat do en, and cried. She felt very weak, and on going down stairs she met the prisoner near the dining room, when he Will ki ad her, and she went to the kitchen. Her mistress shortly afterwards returned home, but she said nothing to her of what bad taken place, as she (witness) intended to leave on the Saturday night and to inform Mrs. Henson, her only friend in London, with whom she now lodged. She did not communicate ti a affair to the prisoner's niece, who was 27 years of age. Wittenu remained in the dense at the ri quest of the niece until Sunday, when she left, and informed Mrs. Henson of what had taken place. Mr. William Denny Robertson, resident house-surgeon of the lt , yal Free Hospital, gave evidence as to the slits of the prow cutric—it was evident that the act had been com mitted. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had made up his mind to send the case before a jury, but would take considerable bail for the pri soner'. appearance at this vivre on a future day. Mr. Jarman—You will not commit him on the capital charge. 1 suppose ? Mr. Tyrwhitt—Decidedly so ? What else. The surgeon's evidecce and other circurintances warraut that tour s. 1 will take reepsnsible bail for his appearance two sureties in 2001 each, and himself in doable that amount, if the girl had made her complaint sooner, 1 would not accept bail at all, bit send him at once for trial. The investigation lasted until a late hour, acd bail not being forthcoming, the prisoner was locked up in default thereof. He was much depressed, and his friends add niece left the court in great excitement. WORSHIP-STREET. FEES OF IIEDICAI.0F710EA3U11)11It THE NUISANCES REMOVAL Act.—Dr. Hector Gavin, one of the m dtcal officers of the Board of Health, called upon the guardians of the poor of St. Matthew, Bethnal Green, to show case why they bad refused to pay him certain costs and expenses which he Sad reasonably Incurred in carrjing out the provisiune of the Nuisances Removal Act. Dr. Gavin stated that in the month of August, 1849, in couseqdence of directions he had received from Mr. Button, he proceeded to inspect certain premises in the occupation of Mr. 0 ,uld, a dust contractor, in which it was alleged that • dangerous nuisance existed, and that he afterwards presented a report accompanied by the usual medical certificate, rela tive to the conoition of the place. He subsequently attended several times at this court, and gave evidence in the matter ; but the defendant having ultimately undertaken to abet. the nuisance, and thereby avoid a conviction, no order wax made by the magistrate; and pursuant to other instructions from the clerk to the board of guardians he again visited the premises on Several Secsims, to NO that the terms of the arrangement were carried into effect. The entire amount of his claim was 18 guineas, fa which he had made repeated application to the guardians, but as they net only &cites d to liquidate it, but positively refused to al low him any utopia -16%1011 whatever for his services, he was reluctantly compelled to alopt the present proceedings against them. In answer to the summons, it was contended that Dr. Gavin at the time rs leered to filled the situation of • medical inspector of nuisances for the district, and that the services in question formed • portion of his official duties in that capacity. Dr. Gavin explained that his duties under the Board of Health were at that time solely enticed to a house visitation, which was entirely unconnected with the removal of nuisances, and that his appointment as a medical icspector did not take place until • subsequent period. Mr. Arnold said that he was at • loss to conceive any equitable principle upon which the present claim could be repudiated by the authorities of the pariah, after the essential , services which had been rendered by Dr. Galin in the pro , secution of the case ; end he considered their reseal to allow him any remuneration whatever to be eminently ucjust. He regretted very much that he had no power under the act to award compensation for his repeated visits to the premises after the termination of the proceedings at this court; but he was of opinion that the claim of eleven guineas for inspecting the nuisance in the first instance, and attending to give evidence at this court on fire different octivions, was • lair and reasonable demand, and be should i therefore at *Beeline an order against the based of guardians for the payment of that amount. • MARLBOROUGH STREET. ALEEOID SEDUCTION AND DESIETION BY • ROMISH ttrunass.—A young country girl, of considerable personal attractions, Fainted the following letter to the sitting magistrate, Mr. Hardwick " Sir,—l LA's the liberty of addressing you as a magistrate, and a gentleman, to inform you of my painful si , ustion, and to implore your protection and any es,istanct it may be in your power to afford me, until I am able to mane some situation to support myself by honest means. On the 16th November 1 was induced to leave my 'other's honer, Mr. Simmons, late clerk is the goods department, Derby Rail way Station, with Mr. Louis Leopold de la Deese:, a young Spaniard, to whom I have been known for twelve years, he promising to marry me on my arrival in London.

The neeemery eons quence was, these C. asignmests went to forced sales • some were sold by encase at Footer's, and that a ppsarea to have been the remit with those Nit to May. The bankrupt, in entering ea such a hazordous speculation, must hove contemplated the necessary loss. Setting that aside, there wax nothing peculiarly objectionable in the manner of his carrying on his trade; no creditor ap peared to complain of the mode in which the deb:s had been contra.ted. And the assignees seemed to rest their cast principally on the realisation tr non re alisation of the hopes of the bankrup: in two patient. that he was entitled to a considerable 12111 from the French covanesant for works perforated sad the al. Valets employed in thsse works—and that he should roc ive a commission of 4,0001. from the executor' of the en-ling for neir.tiating as intended loan.

Mr. Graham, the official areignee, said the conduet of the bankrupt had certainly been meritorious, as far as he had had the opportunity of judging. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL.

I told his I would rather 'alio them back and put them Into stock again. He then said, You must pawn them, and give me halt the money, or I'll send you across the water." I left him then, but did Rot get the goods back. I met him the following evening at the corner of Jewine street, in Redmoes-street. Heasid, " I have got two of them with me which you must pawn." I told him I would not do it. He said, "There is only one step between you and a prison." I then asked him where I was to pawn them. He told me there was a shop close handy. I took the two dresses into a pawnbroker's in Redeems-street, while Hart remained outside. He told me to pawn thus in the name of " Leiston," and to ask the pawnbroker to put " Mrs." before the name. I pawned them for 55., and gave the ticket mud half the money to Hart. I met him again a few nights afterwards. I pawned the rest of the dresses, Hart waiting outside as before. I pledged them for 12•., and gave Hart the ticket and half the money. Ile tore up the ticket and said, " It's all safe now." I saw him a short time atter that in Gutter-lane early in the Ho sake! me it I cool bring him anything else. He also asked me if I could not bring him some lace, and added, " I don't care what it is—l'll buy it." I told him I could not bring him any more, and that I wished I could undo what I had already unfortunately done. He said, " You're a d—d fool. I have young men like you who sell me as much as 21. or 31. worth per week" I told him I would come down to the archway the same evening. He said, " Bring 61. or 61. worth with you." I did not go down that evening, and the next morning he was watching for me at my master's doorway, in Gutter lane. He asked me if I could cot bring something down to him that evening. 1 told him it was a loot: distance out of my way to go to the archway in Widegatektreet, and he thee told me I could meet him at the corner of Jewin. street. I went there that evening , but did not take any thing. He had a small pasteboerd box under his arm, and he asked me if I would pawn the contents for him. I said I would not. He then offered me 2a if I wool! do it, but I Mused. He did not tell me then what the box contaited. Hart then said," If you don't like to do it expose you, for you are steely in my hands." Upon this I agreed to pawn i", and he told me it was a cloak and hood, and that I was to get 10s. on it. I sold " I don't like to peon this," and Hart said, "You bad bettor do it, it comes from James Welch and Sons, and there is a young man there who is a porter, and he sells me a great many thirty., and you might do the same." Ile then said, "I often have a few wished Neville's." Finding I was still reluctant to do as he , he said, " You have got no spirit in you. You can do as you like—either pawn the cloak, or I'll split upon ° you " I then took the cloak and hood, and pawned them at the same shop as the children', drosses. Hart said I ought to get 12s. for them, but I must get 10s. I asked 125., but the pawnbrokers would not %deuce more than ss. I came eat and told Hart, and he raid that I mast take that. I ac. cordiality pledged the articles, leaving Hart outside. When I came oat I gave him the ticket and the whole of the money. The pawnbroker did not ask me any questions as to where I got the cloak from. Hart told me to pledge it in the same name as before, " Leiston. ' I left then, and he said, " I'll see you is the morning." I saw him on the following morning as be hod promised about half-pot eight in Gutter-lane. He asked me if 1 could bring him anything down the same evening and I told him 1 could not. He repeated the same questions several Mantrap after, but I did not take him anything at that time. On last Friday week he met me again, and premed me to bring him something from my m asters wzrehouee. I told him I was going to leavezi situation on the Saturday week following. lie then " You have got plenty of time, you could get 201. worth you liked. You ran the game risk is getting a shilling's as you do in Wing a pound's worth." I told him I maid brie, him sesetking before I left. I saw him eosin es the following Wednesday in Gutter lane, and promised to meet him on the ensuing evening I did not go to meet hie on the Thursday evenine, but taw his the next morning at , the don of my master's warehouse. I midi would meet Nan on Saturday evening, but did not go. Oa the Moselle morning, as I was going to the warehouse, I met Hut le Gollsmithstreet. I promised to meet him under the archway in Widegatostreet, at three o'clock that alternate. I kept the appointment, and saw Hart about halfway down the street. He beckoned me, and I followed him into a poblic hottest, and we both entered the parlour. There was ' a strange man sitting there whom I believe to have been the primmer Levy. Hart said something to him, and then took him outside, and in • very few minutes Hart came Ise° the parlour again and told me that Levy would keep watch outside the door. Hut asked me what I had in the bag I had brought with me ? I told him there were collars, shirt fronts, and habits. I had scarcely finished sp , akirg when I heard a low whistle, which I believe proceeded from Levy outride the door. Hart immediately mixed the bog and threw it ander one of the beaches that form the saes is the putout, sad went out to Join Levy. As he was leaving tee room be said, " I shall be bark in five nitrates, dot.% go away." Be came back in about 10 neintoes„ in company with Levy and acurber man, who remained outside the door to keep watch while Hart came Into the parlour. He again asked me what I bad brought in the bar. He looked at the articles, and said he would give as. 11. for them. I said I would not take less than 11 6,. Hart then sail. " You must bring more this evening; this lot is of no use." He d:d not give me the IL 6s. He said, " I shall not pay you for the" 'lain yen bring me a tr,, ad many mire down to night." He then put heed to his locket and drew Out a heedful of gold, and *owed me. Than were from To questions, the applicant replied that the young gentle. man with whom she bad come to London was an the Ronson catholic college at Derby, kept by an Irish Roman catholic priest named Sing. She lived at Derby with her friends, and this afforded the sonng gentleman an opportunity of keeping up the acqualutacce with her. She was most anxious to get some situation abroad if possible in order to bide her Pharos and to retrieve her character. At present, however, she was wholly destitute of the means eleven paying for &night's lodling, Mr. Hardwick at first thought of sanding the young woman to the House of Charity in Rose street for a short time, but at the applicant's request consented to give the meats of Bending her to Derby, where she had relations lisi,,g. The applicant expressed herself very grateful for this semnable usistance, and left the court in charge of en officer to snake the requisite arrangements. MARKETS. COTTON.-I.lValtrOOL, JAN. I.—To-dsy was observed as a close holiday en the Liverpool share and cotton markets. The d tables afford a lull detail of the imports, con surepti o, and exports of cotton during the past year. Inrours.—The course of events has made this trade, for many years put, mainly dependent upon the United States for its supply ; and any circumstance, either of season or other casualty, which shall tend to limit that supply, or to direct it into other channels, must act injuriously. With the single exception of 1847, the growth of the last season was less than that of any preceding year since 1814: and high as prices have consequently ruled during all the past year, and greatly as the consumption, as well in Europe as in the United States, has been diminished, the consequences must have been much more prejudicial, had not the growth of the preceding year been so excessive, es partially to supply the deficiency. The crop of 1850 was only 2,096,706 bales, against 2,728,596, the crop of the preceding year, and against 2,269,984 the average growth of five preceding years. From Ind a the import has exceeded that of 18 4 9 by 126,717 bales, and it has exceeded the import of the nee preceding years by 132,038 bales. From other places of growth the import lu not materially varied from that of preceding years; and has certainly been in no such excess as to meet the large defici ency from the United S•ates. CoNsumrrion.—Tbat there should have been some de . . cress. in the home consumption during the put year, is solely attributable to the increase of prices, amounting on the ge of the whole year to 35 per cent. se competed with the cost of cotton in 1849. This diminution hes arisen ' lies from the quantity of yarn produced, and consequently of labour employed, than from the quality of the menufec tures, which have been found prcfitable in their production ; for whilst the coiner fabrics, from their relative cost, have been in only limited request, the finer goods, produced in increased quantities proportioned to the diminished manu facture of heavier fabrics, have been alwass saleable, and on almost uniformly remunerating terms to their inanufacturen. Bales. The total stork remaining in the ports at the close of 1849 was The to•el import of 1850 has been 1,748,140 The &crease of stocks now held by the trade, as compared with those held by them at the does of 1849.. 50,000 Deduct the stock remaiaiog at the close of 1850 521,120 Deduct quantity exported 793,520 Total quantity taken for bome consuls:lrian in 1650 1,563,010 REVIEW or THE RititEßT.—The experience of the past year has shown the extending trade of this country, and has also proved that although her exports have been more ex. teninve and varied than in any previous year, yet that the consuming power of foreign countries has been equal to the large supplies she has afforded them, the @tech, in nearly every foreign market being such, that shipments are now invited, under circumstances promising a favourable result. That this extensive trade should bare prevailed, in the pre ' sence of a rapid and progressive increase in the met of goods so exported, amounting in many instances to 30 per cent., is an evidence of the elasticity of the foreign trade, and of the great competing powers of the manufacturers of this country. During the whole of 1850 the home trade has been goof, the home consumption of manufactures, influenced by abw,dant labour and chap food, having been large beyond all precedent The uniform abundance and low value of money have facilitated commercial enterprise ; and there has been a total absence of all interruolion to the home c.a. sumpticn of coVon, from nisputes between the spinners and their hands. Wilk trifling and short interrupti•ms the prices of cotton have steadily advanced during all the year, under the influence of advises successively received of the deficiency of sapply to he ex _acted from the United States ; and the quotations of American generally are Lew about lid. ; of Brasil, lid. ; of Egyptian. lid ; and Burets groat . . iterlb. r e...WeeOf 18i9. SuPPLY.—Although the stocks of cotton now remaining in the ports of this country exceed the estimates previously formed of them by 66,000 bales, the excess b4ing exclusivity here, yet the total amount is only 521,119 bilis, and is less by 101,437 bales than the average of stocks so held at the close of five preceding sears, whilst the estimated decrease of stocks is the hands of cousurners is 50,000 bales, the supply remaining in the continental ports having experienced a still greater relative diminution; and this deficiency derives an anxious importance from the unfavourable promise of the present crop of the United States, of which the general esti mates now formed do not exceed 2,1!.0,000 bales. Whatever productive power our own Indian poeeeaaions may hereafter develop, as present they do not afford any supply commen surate with such a deficiency as; may occur; and this subject will command the anxious consideration of ell who are in• termed in the trade, or in the welfare of thou (or whom it provides useful and valuable employment. Tao export has been larger than in any previous year ; it has amounted to 272,400 halm against 256,300 in 1819; and 189,500 in 1843 ; of these 199,650 bales have been ex ported from Liverpool, 69,2.50 bales from London, and 3,50) bales from other ;torte, of the following descripions— American 150,910, Brazil 24,200, Bwt India 96,290, iLyprien 900, and West India 100 bales. The political dis turbances which have so long limited or interrupted com mercial intercourse with the European continent are happily at an end, and the present year opens u,.der circumstances of great encouregement. Money is abundant, and food of every kind is cheap; general trade is active and remunera tive, finding ample employment for the industry of the country; and the commercial position of Great Britain has never en more eminent than now.

HIDE MARRET.—Ltynkeinot, Jam I.—Mann. James Gordon and Co., is their circular, offer Ike following general remarks upon the market : " From the tables of imports it appens that the import of Rivet Plate and Rio Grande salted bides is below the average of the last seven years, and if compared with last year only, shows a falling off of 30 per cent. The stocks also are v.ry far below the ge• Prices have advanced considerably, and are now higher than at any time since the beginning of 1847, as stated above. They are, however, Id. to lower than in the greater part of 1846. Notwithstanding the very considerable advance which has taken plate in hides, it does not appear that leather has by any means improved in a c . rrespondirg de gree. The light kinds and interior descriptions have risen considerably, but the better kinds and heavy are not much higher. There is, however, every 'emu for expecting an ad vance in these before long, for, besides the above , mentioned decrease in the import of salted hid.' an unusually large quantity has been exported, soy 100,000 British and 50,000 foreign, from this port alone. The tanners, conse quently, must have a smaller quantity of in course of preparation than usual. The consumption of kather, con sequent on a prosperous state of the manufacturing districts, must be very large. The stocks in the factors' hands are unusually small. The stock of hides in importers hands is a mere trill-, and the drought at Buenos Ayres will have the effect of postponing the season for slaughter two months, all of which circumstances have a tendency to raise prices, both of the raw and manufactured article. If it is also borne in mind that a war betwixt Buenos Ayres and Brazil now ap pears imminent, and which, if declared, will have the effect of curtailing supplies, both from the Plats and Rio Grande, to a very great extent, it is by no means impossible that prices may take a range, in the course of next year, such as has not been known for a very long period. The entire stock of River Pie* and Rio Grande salted hides in importers' hands, in the kingdom, is not at this time more than three weeks' consumption." HOPS.—Woacutut, Dee. 31.—Our market remains the same u reported last week. We h►ve had 17,265 pockets of the new crop at market up to the 25th instant, which, addict to those suppreed to hive gone from other markets and private sources, will leave about 2,000 or 3,000 pockets in the bands of the growers, to make up the total amount of duty paid this season.

Scotch paper. MCRDEK OP A GAMEKEEPER AT ELVEDON.— The prisoners, seven in number, poachers, - who killed a keeper at Elvedon, Suffolk, some days since, were examined at Mildenhall on Tuesday week. Before the investigation commenced, the magistrates refused to allow the examination to be reported, believing that the ends of justice might be thereby frustrated. It is impossible to state any new face. The prisoners were remanded until the 31st ult., when they were brought up for re examination, but only with • view to • fur ther remand. It is intimated (says the Bury Post) that when the final examination takes place there will be no objection to the publication of the proceedings. In reference to the statement as to the hint previously given of an intended atta:k upon the Election preserves on the night in quest tion, we understand that the prisoners are not of the gang in the habit of mustering at Thetford, to which the party referred, but inhabitants of Islam, at which place, it is said, there are nearly 90 men having so resource but poaching at this season of the year; and it was the conviction of the keepers and their assistants before the capture that the parties whom they en coact. red were Cambridgeshire men. Indeed, it was in a great measure owing to the keepers having been put upon • wrong scent, and expecting the incursion from the other tide, that they were not better prepared to meet the in truders. It was incorrectly stated in our remarks last week, that the deceased William Nspthan was unprovided with a stick. It was the wounded man Allen who was witheut even this defence. A correepondnt of the Bury Post says in a letter : You lately showed that Thetford was adoes tion or rendezvous for men who had been no doubt that treated (victims of the law of settlement), and to the lamentable occurrence at Elvedon, may be added others in the immediate vicinity of the town mentioned. A party of pricker* entered the game preserves at night; one of them straggling rather wide of his companions, was intercepted by the watchers, who commenced collar. log and dragging him along the road. "My gun is charged," said the poacher, "and as I neither desire to shoot you nor myself, give me leave to stand back and discharge it." lie did so, but it was for • signal for his comrades to has - en to his assistance and rescue, and they drove the keeper into a holm, with a positive injunction not again to stir out that night on peril of the worst betiding him. The poachers then stole ail the keep, is fowls, and concluded their battue in the preserves, bagging a handsome quantity of game. On en adjoining estate, during the early days of the same week in which the sad affair took place It Ensile's, there was shooting every night in the preserve, and one night • gang were shooting within thirty yards of the whereabouts of the watchers, who saw the Rath from every gun; but either waiting for an opportunity, or judging " dis cretion :o be the better part of valour," slid not encounter the invaders. On • previous cecasicn the poachers seemed to desirous of coming into C Irsion with the keepers, that they actually searched about for their lair; on finding which, and the keeper gone away, they cut his watchcoat into shreds, as • memento of their visit. Anl affair of this sort could not remain unknown, and the keeper, chagrined and maddened at the insult, determined on doing something to some infringer of the game law, as a counterbalane. Like Mr. Midshipman Easy's boatswain, in the triangular duel, "somebody had • shot at him, and he'd have a slap at eomeboly," and the keeper eliding into the comfortable assurance that he would otherwise "do his duty " with less danger than in fighting with poachers, laid an information against two tenant farmers for haying shot a here without tale. ing out a certificate—an offenceagairst the letter, not the spirit of the act, they having leave fr:m their landlord to kill the same ; 1151 on the parties appealing, he declined to come fcrwsrl to substantiate the charge. I am also credibly ; informed that the only night poacher taken here this season ; was by cue of the principal tenant farmers, wi:o, hearing a gun late in the evening in a cesert, volunteered, handel, a parent:, and captured the man, gun in hand, with the pheasant he had shot in his pocket.
