Louis NAPOLEON has a habit in politics, of which we have otserved the counterpart on the stage of the Italian opera. There, the Onger who would create a striking effect, comes forth with a magnificent burst of voice, which he follows up, by way of contrast, with a tiny falsetto. It is a peal of thunder followed by a few notes on a fife. Amateurs applaud these flings ; which, even in operas, are not to oar taste. What shall we say to them in politics? To go not too far back, there was the President's letter on the effigies of Rome. It was a brave defiance to the powers of absolutism, and a determination to *rue the Pope and his conclave to be liberal. A fine deep base runs through the whole epistle. But with what a treble was it followed? How was M. TOCOCETILLE allowed to explain it, and fritter it away P The roar of the Frenchman's determination sank into the whine of his weakness. The last post from Paris has brought us another peal of thunder from the President. His letter to the National Assembly would have not misbecome the mouth of Lours the Founrsztern when he entered his Parlernent, and addressed it whip-in-hand. It severely chastises the ministry of M. Bongos, and not one but all the parties in it, the strongest reproach to them being their neglect to feel the hind, the will, and the flag of LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. The late ministers, however, do this very much and eery evidently in obedience to the will of the Assembly, which declare d on a late occasion by a solemn debate and a solemn vote, how immeasurably it considered itself superior to the President, and bow lightly it considered him. The thundering note' of objurgation was therefore as pointedly aimed at the National Masembly, as at the fallen ministry. Yet bow is this stroke of authority followed op ? By the nominal' e to office of a set of nonentities capable of noughtbilt falling on their knees before the Assembly, and as unfit to support the President in a struggle with it, se if he had taken so many boys from school. Even their inclination to enter epos such a stung is to be doubted. Harreoun is a legitimist, EATNEVAL a Ouizotist, ACHILLE FOULD anything the rest nothing. None but idiots would accept office with such a programme as the President's message, unless he were of the school of M. CAUSSIDIERE, de termined to 'Anal from the Assembly to the coun try, and pretty sure, moreover, of success in a move so desperate. We do not blame the President's motives or sus pect his hoomity of purpose. Most of the . grievances be puts forth are sell founded. His wean has been vacillating, a continued compromise between contending . views and factions, that compromiseal ined invariably endieg in concession to the reachon ary and anti-republican party. The tergiversation, treachery, and weakness of M. Baitacree cabinet in the affair of Rome were disgraceful. It is also true, quite true, that both cabinet and Assembly were as such under the domination of a club, as the Convention was under the dictation of the old club of the jacobias, and that the club have more the nom'nition of ministers and of functionaries t an the President himself. But who is to blame? Did not Louis NAPOLEON humble himself to accept the presidency at the hands of the eub, when he might have won it from the people ? And if the chiefs of this monarchic club made a toel and a cat's-paw of the President, din not the latter bend himself from the first to so ignoble a position ? And now he would emancipate himself. The desire is natural. But the mode adopted is &dish, ill conceived, impossible of success. It is a mere second edition of Queen IssarmA's fantastic scheme for de posing NARVA72, without the power or the courage to secomplish it. If the move have sprung from Louis NAPOLEON'S OWS headstrong caprice, it will last a day. If suggested and supported by more designing Cotheir aim must be to create anarchy, and wlings into confusion, for them to step in as the saviours. The moat manifest result must be to discre dit the President, and pave the way for his over throw, legal or illegal. We can conceive a party, best on the speedy reiteration of the Boiritsoits, to have magamdied Louis NAPOLEON to each a step. It could not have proceeded from any wise or sincere supporters of either the republic or of a Napoleonian interest. Muth, therefore, ea we approve the good intention of the President, and sympathise with the spirit of liberaliani, and of pride that was at the bottom of this grave resolution of his, we still see in it greater cause than ever to mistrust his wisdom, and to fore see his fall. Moose= has painted an inimitable scene in the Old Fleet Prison, where one of the unhappy inmates is pourtraved with the solemn kok of a projectx, bat in the dilapidated plight of a ruined man. The form and features are meant to indicate those of a hullo, and among the expressive accessories there is a half unfolded papa lying at his feet, inscribed, " Plots for Painof the Notional Debt." e ROOMIER living, we should almost be tempted to fancy that Mr. Diana= had been sitting for his picture. There are many points of curious resemblance between the honourable member for Books and the character which the great artist bas delineated. A certain oriental air of mystery --oomething between the furtive glance of a gipsy and the', rapt look of an apocryphal pro phet. No doubt there war some one a century ago favoured, like the protectionist chief, with a financial ambition. Like our projector he dreamed of a sinking fund that would make guineas as plenty as blackber ries. What were the details of his plan history has net lammed as. Such is fame, and the gratitude of a tar-pay ing world! We know not even the Mistri als man's mime t and were it not far thecae taken by the Aareroeiatias of the brush, even his lineaments hml been loafer ever. For fear of similar accidents, we would vmpsetfully suggest to Mr. Dins= the prim set only of registering his invention at the =Ass, but of having the incidents of its origi made the subject of as historical by some distinguished artist—suppose we say picture It is quite impossible to read. the proceedings et the late meeting of the new Association for the Belief of Real Property edified amuse ment.

Since the days of necromancy there has sorely not been seen any thing to compare with this for comical conjory. Yet such is the power of faith, that three average equine, one rural parson, and a score of tenant-farmers, were induced to enrol themselves as members of a new agricultural society for the relief of tax-paying pro perty by the increase of taxation. The additional five millions a year which Mr. DDOIXELI would lay on are to be spent, be says, in baying op 31 cents. in the Stock Exchturge. Precious ides these in which to invest so much of the poor man's mosey. The artisan is to pay six. peace a pound more for his tee, and twopence a pound awe far his sugar, in order that Sir Cuestas WOOD may have so many hundred thousand eight pence' more wherewith to speculate in Consols. Our govern ment owes 800,000,0001.; and with that ponderous memento of . pest follies round its neck, it cannot go swaggering up and down the world as it Wei to do. This the territorial oligarchy think a sad privation, and hence they would greatly like to wheedle people into the belief that they were really about to pay off this enormous mass of debt. It is pretty clear that, at the rate of five millions a year, the progress of substantial diminution would be almost imperceptible; for with increased taxation to supply means for a sinking fund, the consumption of every article of comfort or luxury would proportion ably decline; and, as happened before, the deficit in the ordinary revenue would have to be made up either by new loans or by appropriations out of the sinking fund, to meet more pressing obligations. Bat the object of the muzzled war-makers would for the time be gained. A general belief would, they suppose, be created, that the state was growing exceedingly thrifty, and anxious to pay off its incumbrances. The credit of governments, like that of individuals, is known to rise in the estimation of those who have money to lecd, by hearing it constantly said I that a certain sum is laid cut every month lit taking up old bills and bonds. The rate of interest charged on any temporary accommoda tion they may thereafter chance to want is low ; and the effect of this alteration on the money market would be so great that the mortgaged proprietors dream of converting their incumbrances also into three and a quarter charges. All which ulterior and remote results we need hardly say never would be realised. Whilst the proximate and present purpose of injury to the consuming classes, in order to bolster up high rents, would be accomplished, and a transient delusion would be created regarding the pecuniary position of the country, which might at some par ticular juncture enable the Treasury to borrow a few millions, for some questionable purpose, on better terms than formerly. int Court.

After eating his muter on Tose air morning, he fetched Mr. Steadman, • surgeon, Gail kasteset. who came soon after Mr. Powell. Omelette Goddard than depend that she was cook to the dammed, who was, she believed, about 35 or 36 years of sge. Oa entering the bedroom, after being called by the page, she found her master lying cm his back, with a book at his side as though he had been reading. The book was a bible, which he always used in his bedroom. She had lived with him a year and nine minim She saw him last alive in the hall on Monday morning, about 11 o'clock, when he had just returned from the country. While speak ing to her he held his hand to his head. [The witness here imitated the action ] He did not complain to her of pain in his head. He ap peared very much altered after Mr. Cooper's (his father-in-law's) death, about last Christmas. Within the last month he had not been like the same man. This change formed the subject of remark between herself and the last witness. When he ordered anything, he appeared after wards to have forgotten that he hat done so. Instead of telling witness to co anything he would point, and when she did sot appear to undsntand, he would say, "Dear me, can't you see ?" His conduct altogether bad been different, within the last four or five weeks, from what it had been pre viously, Sometimes he would forget to order his dinner, and he was afterwards surprised at the emission. His habits were sober. The boy told her, on Monday night, that he thought his master bed angered : to which she replied that he might be giddy, that helooked unwell, end that he had put his hand to his head that morning. He usually rang the bell at seven o'clock In the morning, but he did not uo so on Tuesday morning. Be mast have been down stain, for the shutters is two rooms had been opened. He was quite maraud when witans found him in bed ; he had gone to bed again. At one time he used to talk and seem cheerful, bat lately that had not been the can. He usually got up before herself and the boy, at about six er half-put via o'clock. Two letters were found by witneu on a slab in the lull after his death, ore addressed to Mrs. Morton and the other to Mr. Atkinson. These letters were produced, and the witness stated that she believed the address on both to be in Mr. Morton's handwriting. James Powell, a member of the College of Surgeons, de posed that he had known the deceased, who was abou t 36 years of age, for several years. The deceased was surgeon to the Queen's Bench Prison and to University College HOB. hospital, had been some years ago assistant demonstrator at the and bad assisted Mr. Cooper in his lectures. He was a distinguished man in his profession. Witness was sent for on Tueseay moraine at half-past 9, and on going into deceased's bedroom be found him lying in the k d on his back, perfectly straight, under the bed-clethes, which reached es high as the chess, while the eyelids were half closed. The body was nearly cold, and witness at once pro solaced the deceased to be dead Discovered • smell bottle amongst the t idol( thee. An ounce glass stopper bottle was then produced as the bottle rehired to, and the witness, on smelling it, declared that it emitted a st rongi smell of prussic acid. John Erichsoo, assistant urgent of University College Hospital, stated that he had examined the brain of the de ceased. He had found considerable venous congestion of the sinuses within the skull, also congestion of the surface of the brain end of the membranes generally. The blood was Suitt and dark, and emitted • stroirg odour efpnissic acid. The membranes of the brain were slightly adherent, mote so than usual, on the upper surface of both hemispheres. There was a alight opacity of the araehnoid. There was • email quantiey of lymph evidently of long etaniinp. Alfred Baring Garrard, assistankohyucian at University College Hospital, deposed to his having examined the con tents of the deceased's stomach, and discovered in them about halt an ounce of prussic acid of pharmacopoeia strength. He bad not the least doubt that the deemed died from taking this poison. (The witness then produced the prussic acid which he had obtained by analysis.) The Coroner raid that the evidence which they had hurl Must hays satisfied the jury that the deceased had lost his life from the effects of prussic acid, and also that the taking of it was his own set. It now became necessary to ascertain what was the deceased's state of mind at the time of, or im mediately before, the taking of the poison. The Foreman intimated that the jury were satisfied as to the fact that prussic acid had been taken by the deceased. The Coroner said that, before proceeding fru ther with the inquiry, he must express his regret that the state of the law war such as to require this inuoduction of circumstance., which must leave • painful impression on the minds of role.. tivn. He sincerely hoped they would live is see the time when the law would in that wspect be altered. Mr. Erlcharn, Mr. Powell, and Mr. Steadman. then gave evidence as to the low spirits under which deceased labours d and deposed to other circumstances showing the disordered state of Mr. Morton's mind. The following letters, found in the hall, as mentioned above, alter the deceased's death, were then reed. The dest was misdated " 7, Woburn-place, Dec. 30, 1819.

The Coroner thought that, under the circumstances, the jury would be jostled in coming to the conclusion that the downed was of unsound mind. His death wee muck to be deplored.

MANCHUTER MINIMAL ELECTION.—The eleo tion of tows-councillors to day has paned wra. rather quietly. In four of the 15 ward; a new Councillor has taken the place of a retiring one, by arrangement, and without contest. In all nine wards have gone uncontested. For six wards only have Mere been contests, and though there has bees a fair " infusion " of what is termed " now blood, " by new men in most of thee*, there was nothing of a political Miramar fa the contests, and very little enticement was created. It is expected that Mr. John Potter will be re elected mayor without a *utast.

The notice states the name and situation of the office of the registrar of the privileges appertaining to thy several parties mentioned. THE NEW BANKRUPTCY Acr.—A case occurred in the Exeter Banktuptcy Court on Wednesday week lut.which shwa the advantage of the new law over the old. A trader being about to sell his stock in trade and furniture, with a view to leave the country, as it was supposed, had advertised the sale of the whole of his property to tale place on Wednesday last, at one o'clock, At 1 1.50 on that day, that is, about 1 hoar and 10 minutes before the sale was to take place, a creditor came into the court and filed a petition for adjudication against him, the trading petitioring creditor's debt, and an act of bankruptcy was proved, within au hour from filing the petition, the sale was stopped, the man ad judged bankrupt, and the manager being in possession the property was saved for the crediton. Under the old law it would have taken three or four days at least, and then this would have bean sold and the party out of the wsy, the resi dence of the bankrupt being eight miles from Exeter, and not approachable be railway. FUZTLIER ATTEMPTS AT INCENDIARISM.—On the night et Thursday, the 25th inst., another and novel at tempt was made to burn down the farm premises of Mr William Young, farmer and grocer, of Cheveley. It ap pears that abort itor r o'clock, as Mr. Young was in the farm-yard he heard something fall near the barn, and shortly after a fire was perceived to be breaking out in some loose straw and sedge which were lying round the barn. As s:stance was con on the spot, and the fire fortunately extinguished without having done the slightest injury whatever, otherwise the destruction of property must have been great, as many buildings and cottages are standing close by. The fire was afterwards proved to have been caused by a ball of lighted tinder and linen rags, which, with a stone placed in the middle to facilitate its motion, was thrown out of the street over the buildings, a distance of about thirty yards, into the farmyard. A lad named James Cos was seen opposite the premises about Ike same time, and suspicion having fallen on him, he was immediately taken into custody, and the next day brought before the magistrates at Newmarket, when he was remanded till Tuesday.—Bury Herald.— The same journal also states: Just as we were going to press, inteUisenee reached us of an extensive fire, the work of an incendiary, at Dutton, upon a farm occu pied by Mr. John Westrup. The fire broke out about half-past nine o'clock on Monday night; up to the present time a barley stack, large straw stack, bean stack some out buildings, and two colts have been destroyed. The barns, stables, and new buildings were saved. Lord Thurlow's en gine, and that belonging to the parish of Stradishall, were on the spot—the former engine having been wt at fires for three consecutive nights, via., at Hendon, Wickhsmbrook, and at this place. The tenant is insured in the Norwich Union of fice. The fire at this time (1 o'clock, Tuesday), is still burning. We hear that another fire was seen raging in the direction of Nam during the progress of this conflagration.— Amerime outbreak happened shortly after 10 o'clock, at Liellelllllll, on some property belonging to Mr. Sturgeon. loads 100 combs of barley, two stacks, and a barn were diellteyed.—On the night previous (Sunday) the village of sear Clare, was the scene of a calamitous fire. Beeson 15 mad 9 the rear of the premises of Mr. 0. &asp WIN diserweeed to be in flames, and ere they could in any way be subdued a menus sacrifice of property had takes place. The dwelling-house, tea barns, cow-house, and some outbuildings, with a portion of the stacks, were burnt. —Oa Saturday evening some farm property at Wickham Brook, belonging to Mr. T. Webb, was ant on fire. The flames were discovered raging in an oat-stark, but fortu nately, by the early arrival of the neighbouring labourers, two barns filled wkh_grala whisk were nigh were saved.— On the Uteruses of Wodnesiay great damage was date on the farming premises of Mr. R. llamford. at Cowes; and .boat the same time a similar disaster betel the property of Mr. T. Tilbrook, at Cowlings. Most of the sufferers were insured. The constables are instituting searching inquiries into the circumstances connected with these outbreaks. THE MURDER or Mn. ClEldriES.—On Monday afternoon a man named Banks underwent • private arum- Ratios before oar local magistrates relative to a suspicion entertained against him of having been concerned ut the murder of the late Mr. George Stenhetuie Griffith. The ef that examination have not transpired; but the owing facts are current. Beaks is a notorious diameter, a native of Freasfield, who has been loitering about in that neighbourhood for some time past. He had been more than cue before the beach for poaching and like Gees on Oa Sunday he was lodes( at a public-horse in Lewis, known as The Globe, sir the Traveller's Rest, and it was that about halfyast 10 that night he was apprehends/ by Superintendent Harper (B.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. —On Wednesday night an attempt was made to assassinate Mr. Camplin, the chief constable of the borough of Saffron Walden. Mr. Camplin it appears, had been engaged pursuing his *adj. nary duties in the OMNI of the evening, and on returning to his residence shoat eleven o'clock, he was shot at by some penes soasselet near to the premises, the contents of the weapon lodging in the lower part of the body. As soon as the outrage was made kaown to the authorities, suspicion fell upon a young man named Pellet% and the police were instructed to proceed and effect his immediate capture. In the coarse of en hour the suspected memin was appre hended, and having undergone en reaminatioa, was re- , sanded. Pellets, it is said, had been repeatedly convicted through the instrumentality of Mr. Camplin, sad on wee them ass wan= had been heart to threaten the officer in jury.t Mr. Superintendent Clarke, of the Bee: eonstabu stationed at Newport, has been specially instructed to ass t the tows authorities in twigging to the guilty party. Several medical gentlemen are in attendance upon Mr. Camvlta , who, although se:lowly injured, is going favoary. PEODUCTION OF CHEAP BIBLES. A mood public meeting took place last evening, at the Meebeaks' lastitaidon, itontltamptou•buildings, on the gabfest of the low wages paid to the parties employed in the reduction of the British and Foreign Bible Society's bibles. There was a crowded arezdance. Mr. LUKE J. HANSARD presided. Mr. JONATHAN DIJNCAN moved: " That any attempt to circulate the Bible, which is given by Its glorious Author to be a blessing to man, without fully and 6/My remunerating the labourer by whom it is pro &teed, is a dined violation of every principle that it inealestee." _ . . . . . It the Bible Society believed the truth of the book they circulated they were breaded with hypocrisy If they did not obey its precept.. (Hear, heir.) Much was maid now.a days about cheapnen ,• bat with the working classes it gene rally meant a great deal of labour fir a very little money ; but what they ought to strive for was a great deal of money for a very little labour. (Cheers.) It was justly complained that the rich were getting richer and the poor poorer; and thou in head was a most detestable attempt at carryi ng out this operation, because perpetrated under a hypocritical garb. (L'heen.) Let the workpeople firmly mist this im position, and they would be supported by public opinion ; and those now oppressing them would be glad to yield. (Cheers.) Mr. JOSEPH MACKEY wended the resolution. He - - - recommended aU ministers and conductors of Sunday schools to give the preference tc. the Christian Knowiedp Society's Bibles over those of the Bible Society. Mr. JOHN R. TAYLOR gave some details as to the low wages of artisans generally, and attributed the evil to the overweening love of cheapness amongst the higher alarms. If the evil were not arrested, the very vitals of society would soon be destrged. (Hear, bear.) The resolution was unanimously adopted, as was each of the succeeding ones. Mr. ED WARDS moved— That the reply of the British and Foreign Bible Society to the memorial of the public meeting held at the Mechanics' Institution on the 20th of S. ptember, ' expreesi. g their in tention sotto take soy proceedings therein,' is received by this meeting with deep regret : and it is therefore confirmed in the conviction that the allegations contained therein, vie. : 1. That the principal cheap editions of the Bible and Testa. ment waded by their society, are prod need by exacting large reductions from the wages of female labour. 2. That suck cheapness, so procured, has unhappily led to still further reductions in the wages of labour employed In binding the Sacred Scriptures sold by other partite, with a view to com pete with the prices of their society. 3. That the answer given to the • Appeal' of the journeymen bookbinders by their contract/us, is a palpable violation of all truth, and calculated to mislead the donors and sub•cribers of their institution : would upon inquiry be fully sustained." The women bookbinders who now brought their COO be fore the public were oppressed, not only by a powerful capitalist, but by the of the wealthiest societies to exist ems. When the society found themselves able to mikes re duction of twopence in their prices, they mast have known that it was to come out of the wages of the poor workpeople. The Christian Knowledge Society's prices were 7s. 6d.; those of the Bible Society, 6s. At the former rate of payment, a woman might possibly earn, with 60 hours' labour, 9s. 6d. a week. This was little enough, in all conscience; but with this sum the workpeople of the Bible Society would have been content. For folding and sewing the whole of last year's issue of 1,107,518 co, its, the women had received only , 4,2011.25. 11d. Dividing this by the number employed, it gave au average of only 62.100, a week for the folders, and 71. 3d. for the sewen. (" near, hear," and " Shame.") Even this pittance could enly be gained by unremitting labour throughout the year. How, then, could the courgettes, have stated that her hands might earn, on the wages she gave, 7s. 64. to 15i. a week? The work of Outliner and Spottis wode, done by the same contractress,was paid still lower. The prices of the Christian Knowledge Society gave an average of Bs. 6d. a west to the folders , end Ba . 104 d. to the sewers, being 25 per cent. more. Notwithstanding this saving in the pike of labour, the Bible Society had only reduced their prices 14 per cent., putting the remaining 11 per cent. in their pickets. (Rear, hear.) War it not a humiliating re flection that a cheap bible should be associated with female depravity ? (Cheers.) Mr. W. CHIPPAiLELD seconded the resolution. The following resolutions were also agreed to: " That any attempt oa the part of the British and Foreign Bible Society to suppress inquiry, must be regarded with suspicion, and is wholly at variance with every principle of justice and equity recorded in the pages of the inspired volume they are engaged in circulating, to promote the pre sent and everlasting welfare of man." "That the Committee of the British and Foreign Bible ,Society having refused to entertain the memorial of the public meeting, this meeting recommend that a memorial bet presented to all ministers and sabbath school teachers on be e half of the injured bookfoldin and sewers, imploring them to discontinue the use of Bibles and Testaments supplied by the British and Foreign Bible Society, until a fair lemon. 1 1 rating pries is paid for female labour." 1 The proceedings terminated with a vote of thank]; to the chairman. HOPES AND FEARS ON PAYING TAXES. [Fran Punch's Pocket Book.) Punch never pa s a tax without using a set for mula of hopes and fears, by himself appointed for the accu stom. Tne form is u follows: and may be used by the head. of all famiies.

These present nothing to interest readers who reside beyond the several localities. BRITISH LYING-IN HOSPITAL. Yesterday the half-yearly general court of governors was held in the board-room of the newly erected hospital, Modell-street, Long Acre. Mr. Edward Ward In the chair. From the secretarl's report, it appeared that the present hespiial cost nearly 7,0001. and that scarcely 8001. had been subs cri b e d to defray the large outlay. The consequence is, that the re sources of this wilful charity, now in the hundredth year of its existerce, are much crippled. During the past twelve mouths 133 in-patients, and 126 out-patients, have been relieved. The report was adopted. THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.—IMPORTANT Die- CLOSURBS.—Some very important disclosures have come to light within the last two days relative to the murder of Patrick O'Connor, which will remove all doubt as to the guilt of the Manning* The male prisoner has acknowledged that tke pistols used to commit the horrid deed were tnose found in the possessession of Adams, the pawahroker, of Berniondiepstreet, but that tradesman could net swear as to the party who pledged them, although he was in attend ance at the Southwark Police Court. lie (Manning) asserts that his wife loaded both the pistols, and having shot O'Connor with one, presented the other at him,threatening to serve him the same way unless he assisted her. The statement relative to the pistols corroborates Mr. Lockwood's opinion. That gentleman, it will be recollected, eztratted a bullet I from the murde red man's head, which he fitted to one of the ; pistols, and found it to correspond. Manning also has stated that the clothes taken from the murdered mac were all burnt in the back kitchen, with hie private memorandums and some rags. It war supposed by the police that the clothes were wrapped up with the crow bar thrown into the Thames. Such was not the case, and no doubt the crow-bar will be found in a few days, as some information as to the biding place has been given. Manning declares that the grave in the back kitchen had been dug eo early as May last,lend„the murder 'ad been con templated since then, but some how or other his wife could not muster courage enough to commit the deed until the evening of the 9th of August. A shutter belonging to the back kitchen was placed over the hole covered with a ' carpet, and O'Connor must have several times walked over ! his grave in going to the sink to wash his hands, as was his universal custom prior to partaking of dinner at Manning's house. One of Manning's brothers wrote • very affecting letter to him on Monday last, which has had • great impres sion on his mind. He expresses • great desire to see him, as well as his sister, and most likely an early day will be , appointed for that interview. Mr. Sinn, will have an interview with Manning in his oell this afternoon (Friday), according to appointment, when some further diseloenree will be made public, as he seems inclined to state all the faces relative to this horrible deed. KENT PEITY 8E88102411.-11mi. Stoneham and John Brooker were charged with setting wires for the pur pose of ensnaring game, in • hedge belonging to the Earl ; of Darnley, the pariah of Bhorne, on Sunday last. in Thos. Lockyer, one of the keepers, on Saturday morning, found • wire set up on the land in question. He visited the ' wire again in the evening; he found it down, but nothiag in it. He visited it again a; half-past 4 next moraine, when Win. Fenner and he laid up to watch. About half-put 7 on Sunday morning the defendants came into the field; they were in the sheep-fold when witnees first saw them, feeding the sheep. They came out, walked round to the hedges and stopped at the wire. The field where they were belonged to Mr. B srrett, the hedge to Lord Darnley. The defendant Brooker went down and met up the wire. Stoneham walked away. Brooker afterwards joined the ether defendant on the turnpike road.—Case dismissed. This was one of those paltry and everyday attempts to get up • case of poaching against mime unhappy wretch who may happen to be sun in the neighbourhood of • game preserve, which in this instance was justly frustrated by the court, who believed that young Brook. r, whose tacker I t a respectable farmer residing at Shorne, had merely, out ph , u . ing, observed the wire, and out of curiosity bad ewe .i ne d it, and put it again in its place. Stoneham is nr te Brooker, and they had come into the field for no ot.. itt pur . Ipose than that of feeding the sheeg be . longed to Brooker's father.
