UTION INDER THE SALMON FISHERY :•--A case of great importance to fishers and angler, .14 heard before Sheriff Sconce, at the Sheriff Court. Stir ling. on Saturday. Robert Shaw, fishmonger, &a, Bridge of Allan, and Wm.

The case was laid at the inetsnes of . I, wepli Napier, superintendent of the Forth salmon and the prosecution was conducted by ?le, . 1 . M. Cun n i ng h am , writer.

For the prosecution several fishermen stated the "lammumen " in question "nag sea trout, and that in the spring months lam- If were out of Nelson on account of spawning.

For the defence, several experi ',,rfd ushers anal anglers stated that lammumen were his fish in the spring months, and the fact of their being uvl slightly discoloured was accounted for by their 'eau. in the fresh water for some months, Mr. John Hal -I•'l.Y.

WSW sr,mi ft?* u. 415 WWI THE MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY AT hACJENZI-WICX. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) Thia morning, at 11 o'clock, Mr. Humphrey., meow for the eastern division of the county at am. opened an inquiry at the Old Town-hall, Hacknep, re Wive to the finding of the body of a man in an uninha bited house situate in Elgin-place, Hackney-wick. The stirroundisp of this mysterious case have invested it with peculiar Interest. The identity of the deadwood is disputed by two females, each of whom claims his body as being that of her husband. Their names are Mrs. Banks and Mrs. Hessian, and the latter was represented at the int=morning by Mr. Neal, solicitor. Banks was the first witness examined. She said—l live at 35, York-row, Kingsland-road. lam the widow of the deceased, whose name was Ebe Clarke Banks. He was 33 years old. His occupation was tra veller to • spirit merchant. I last saw him alive last Maroh three years. Oa an average he was away about six months every year. We did not quarrel previous to his departure, and I cannot account for his abeenoe. I saw the body twice in the mortuary, and lam confident it la that of my husband. There is a scar on the first finger of the right band. I mentioned that feet before I saw the body. I had six children by the dr eased. The youngest was three months old when he left home. He travelled for Mr. Emotion, of High Holborn. His life wee not insured, but he belonged to the Odd Fellows' Burial Club. He also belonged to the Widow and Orphans' Fund. I don't know what sous they will give me. By Mr. Neal—The scar on the finger of the deceased was caused by a knife. He hail • full moustache at the time I last saw him. His whiskers were turning • little grey. He had • dark full head of hair, and wore it short. I have the books of the societies to which I have referred at home. I made inquiry at the police stations repeatedly after lie left. I have not gone to look at other bodies because the descriptions did not correspond with the sp. pearance of my husband. Edward Heasman—l live at 76, Great Percy-street, Pen. tonville and am a clerk. I have seen the body of the decomed, and identified it as that of my brother, Benjamin Heasman. He was 44 years of age, and he had been in the same office as myself. He had been an inmate of St. Luke's Asylum since September, 1866. I last saw him alive in the winter of 18(.7. His delusion was a conviction that be had been poisoned. He had suffered much from an affection of the eye. He had suicidal tendencies. Two bottles of laudanum were found with him before he was taken to the lunatic asylum. lam not aware that he had a mechanical turn for malting little boats out of pieces of wood. I am confident the body of the deceased is that of ray brother. The squareness of the forehead, the high cheek bones, and the form of the features make me think so. Five years ago he was doing something to the slates on the roof of his holm when he damaged one of his fingers. By the jury —He was not in the habit of using laudanum. He threatened to kill his wife before he was ant to the lunatic asylum. By his death his wife loses a pension of 1001. a year. The name on his flannel shirt was marked, by her. Sophia Heasman. who appeared much affected, was next examined. She deposed—l live at 5, Selwyn-terrace, and am the wife of the deceased man. I have so doubt as to bin identity. I wee married to him fifteen years last October. He was always at home, and himself for a long period. He injuried his hand on one occasion, but I don't remember when. During his in carceration he was constantly speaking of religion. Dr. Ellis sworn—l am the medical officer of the St. Luke's Lunatic Asylum. I bad an inmate named Benjamin Hannan, who escated from the hospital on the let of February, 1868. I have no doubt the deceased is that man. I know it, not only from his features, but also on account of the marks on his clothes. I have seen the boot that was found with him, and I find it be longed to a patient named Harnett, from whom the deceased took it away. The dress of the deceased is in every particular the same as that which Hemmen wore when he left. I find a tooth missing on the left side of the deceased's bead which I know to have been missing with Heasman. Sarah Williams—l reside at 15. Commercial-road, Ber mondsey. lam sister of Mrs. Banks. I have seen the body of the deceased. It is very like Mr. Banks, but I cannot say positively it was he. By Mr. Neal—l am not aware that Mr. Banks exhibited suicidal tendencies. When in liquor he sometimes threatened his wife but he never threatened to destroy his own life. I have not seen him for seven or eight years. Mrs. Reesman recalled—l swear that the handwriting on the flannel shirt and stockings worn by the deceased is mine. Mr. Newsom, examined—l live at Victoria-road, Hack ney-wick, and am foreman in the employ of Mr. Davis, builder. On Thursday last I went to 20, Elgin - place, Hackney-wick. A carter went in through the window, and opened the door for me. He said," Come in, something ereells bad here." I examined the house and found the body in a cupboard under the stain:sae. (The wit- ness then described the position of the body at the time of its discovery. He subsequently stated that the house, which was au unfinished one, had been "screwed up " since Christmas, and that the deceased must have got in through the window.) . Henry Pries— I am • carpenter. Some time in the beginning of February I saw • man sitting on the ground near the houses in Elgin-place. I went up to him, and said, " You've got • cold berth there, sir:" to which he replied, " I have, friend, but God keeps me warm." He also added, " You're the Modest man I hare met with to-day, but I wish you would not interfere with me." I believe the man to be the one whose body I have seen is the mortuary. Sergeant Faders deposed to having found • bottle (pro duced) marked " Landanum—poison," in the cupboard in which the body was discovered. Frederick James Gent, F.I(.C.S, was next examined. He deposed—l made a post-mortem examination of the body of the deeeamd. The body wasthatof a mnsculmwell-nourished man about 40 years of age. There were no marks of any bruise, but had there been a bruise the advanced state of decomposition would have prevented its being perceived. There was • black appearance on the right side of the head which appeared to have been caused by • bruise, but in my opinion that appearance was caused by decomposition of the tissues. I am unable from the poet mortem examination to state what the causes of the man's death were. The bottle labelled 7 Laudiiium—poison," oontains the remains of some brown liquid. The Coroner—Gentlemen, I shall adjourn the inqui ryq in order to have the contents of the stomach of the deceased analysed by Dr. Letheby, who will also make an asepsis of the bottle. In the meantime the body must be boned. There are two parties claiming the right of burial, and with your unction I shall issue my order in the name of Ben- jamin Reesman. Foreman—We are all agreed in thinking the man's name was Heumaa. . . We:inquiry was then adjourned till this day week at half-past 10. The death is announced of Dr. John Elliotson, the mesmerist, aged 74. The deceased was • graduate of Cambridge, in which university he took his degree of doctor of medicine in 1821. He studied also at St. Thomas's Hospital under Mr. Cline and Sir Astley Cooper,l and succeeded Dr. Currey as physician to that institutionl in 1822. This office he resigned in 1834. When the hos pital of l'iriversitycollege was established he was appointed Professor of MediAl Science in the college. This appoint ment be held till 1838, when he resgnedm oousequence of the opposition raised to his system of mesmeric treatment of cases in that hospital. CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL.—The Kentish Gazette contains the report of the Dean of Canterbm on the pro gress of the statues with which the cath ed ral is being embellished. Her Majesty has, it is remarked, signified her intention of presenting figures of herself and the late Prince Consort, and • hope is expressed that this example will induce others te take part an the work. Since 1862, when the scheme was originated, 31 out of the 56 figures contemplated have been erected. Of these 28 have been presented by special donors. The other three were erected oa faith of a general fund being raised by smaller subscriptions but the suet of two of these figures is, the dean state; with regret, as yet unprovided for.

HER MAJEMTY'M STAOHOUNDS.—Yesterday her Majesty's Staghounds had • brilliant meet at Maidenhead thicket, the customary trysting place for Easter Monday, and though cold in the shade, the weather was otherwise bright and cheerful, and crowds of spectators from the neighbouring towns of Windsor, Maidenhead, and Marlow, found their way before noon to the wide expanse of forest and briars known as the "Thicket." The half a mile of road which divides the thicket was covered with carriages and vehicles of all descriptions, from the beronche and family carriage to the tradesman's cart and whatever counter attractions there may have been eleewhere it was plain that the Easter Monday " meet of the Royal peck at Maidenhead thicket has not diminished in its prestige. The field was • large one, but Lord Colville, who recently had a bad fall, was not present. On inquiry, it was found that his lordship was much better. The whole of the honours of the day therefore fell upon Mr. Harry King, the Queen's huntsman, who had provided the famous deer " Volunteer, " for the day's sport. After some little delay this splendi d creature was turned out, amid the shouts of the crowd, and at first made in the directkm of Shottes brooks. Volunteer, however, doubled bask, and led the chase away over the Thames, and past Marlow station, as if bound for Slough. He however turned, and ones more crossed the river, compelling the Sold to make • detour over Windsor-bridge and through the town in order to re gain the chase. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL RACQUET CHALLENGE Cu,. The committee of Prince's Club, Hans-place, have for some time past been desirous of starting a racquet dud. lenge cup for competition among our public schoolmosnd yesterday saw their wishes most suceeedully realised. All dispute as to what constitutes • public school was fog once thrown adder, and we find Cheltenham, now the second largest public school in the kingdom, among the entries. Westminster and Rugby did no s tp p ul in an appearance, on account, we understand of their respective head masters refusing the boys permission to compete. The entries, therefore, amounted to four only in number, and consi sted of Char terhouse, Cheltenham, Eton, and Harrow, the second and last of which have ever been renowned for moque* whereas Eton bas only been provided with cowls since last autumn. A numerate company thronged the gallery, and H. Fairs marked with his usual Each match was the beet of seven games, Eton an 'Charter house being the fist to appear, the former having for her representatives W. F. Tritton and C. J. Ottaway, while Hamann and Nyasa played on the other aide. The contest was most one-sided throughout, Charterhonee never having a chance, and being completely over matched. SINGULAR ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE PROM PRISON. Yeirterday, at the quarter sessions for the bo of Birmingham, a very extraordinary came was tried ors the recorder, Mr. A. B. Adams. Two young men named George Syron and Henry Stone were cha with easepir ing to ambit Stone in escaping from prison under Use following remarkable circumstances. It seems that, on the tird of December last, the two prisoners had been connoted of some petty offence, for which they were sentenced—Syron to seven days and Stone to three months' imprisonment respectively. Stone was partici'. lard y anxious to evade the full period of incarceration that had been assigned to him, and with this view, by the promise of a sum of 201. he succeeded in inducing Syrra to agree to a plan by whioh each should pereonate the other, and thus exchange sentenom—a plan which seemed capable of being carried out, as they were both about the same age, and not unlike each other in pereesal . In accordance with' this plan, while the two :To . L a rr e were being conveyed from the polierainn to the borough gaol in the prison van, they managed to drew themselves in each other's clothes without the change being noticed by the officials in charge of the van. being banded over to the prison entborities each answered to the other's name, and the deception was not discovered till afterwards. Both prisoners pleaded guilty, and were sentenced—Stone to six months' and Syron to two mouths' imprisonment. CALEnoNIAN RAlLWAY.—Yesterday Lord Ormi dale issued the following interlocutor in the Gera of " Glen v. Caledonian Railway:—" The Lord ordinary having heard counsel for the parties, and considered the arguments and proceedings, paean the note and malls, hoc Mon, the interdict formerly grained." In the note appended to the interlocutor the Lord Ordinary says he has come to the eonciesion that, while it is press that the note of suspension and interdict should be permed in order to the trial and determination of the questions in dispute, there are no sufficient grounds for an imme diate interdict, the mare especially he thinks be would not be warranted in now granting the interdict, webs there is no admission, but, on the contrary, • diatinet denial by the respondents or complainers' leptiene of rmtreppropriatrane.
