A numerous field of sportsmen had assembled, together with about twenty carriages filled with Ladies who were anxious to see the stag turned out, and the whole appearance of the scene was very animating. On the signal being given the stag was tamed out on the high ground leading to Northleach, and the hounds, after a few momenta' run, being laid on the scent, a severe ma 0f.55 mi nutes took place over the inclo leading to Stow, the Stag bounding in the finest style over the interposing fences, until, in endeavouring to take a five feet wall from a swampy. piece of ground, it broke both its legs, thusaerminating a run of great wee thy. %TWA. had, it listed many minutes more, would have made severe examples of most of the horses, who were already exceed they diitressed.

HOME CIRCUIT—Hammes, Diet. 9. 'Before Mr. Baroo•Gaestor. Robert Cooper was charged with feloniously setting fire to an-out house, belonging to Mr. William Cooper, at Baldachin the lit of Au gust. Mr. RYLAND prosecuted ; Mr. Dow: moo defended. The facts which appeared in fvidence are as follow :—At the last Summer Assizes for this county, held in July, two men, John . Trigg and John Keep, were put upon their trial for arson. at Baldock, but acquitted. They were tried on Wednesday the fOth' July. On the Saturday after the trial the Balduck. people were alarmed by mother fire, which broke out on some premises not far from the place where the former one happened. The loss and da mage on this occ Idea was not great ; but it excited a vast deal of consternation, as it was coojectured to have been (like the for mer one) the act of an incendiary. One of the houses that had been set on fire by this last attempt, was then occupied by a man named William Cooper, a thatcher, who is the father of the prisoner. He is not insured. On the Monday' after this a third attempt was made to set fire to other premises, distant ab out sixty yards from the last. It was made by thrusting a piece of lighted straw into some part of a barn, but which did ant ignite. Baldock was consequently in an uproar, and suspicion attached to every one against whom any until* was started. On the morning of this last attempt, in consequence of certain •informationy given to the Ma ghtrates, the prisoner was apprehended ;• but after an examination and investigation of the charge against him, was discharged. A month after, however (on the 31st of August,) he was again taken into custody, and committed to Hertford Gaol. The evidence against the prisoner was slight. It appears that the prisoner was subpened and attended at the last Aedses, in July, as switnees against Trigg .and pimp, to give evidence• of an expression be had casually overheard them' use in passing him, and that this • circumstance. rabid a strong feeling_ of enmity against hint on the part of the two men and' their Mends, at Baldock. The chief witness' against .the prisoo*, was a woman named Elizabeth Shambrook, who is slat* to John' Trigg; and sfre stated, that on Saturday night, about twelve, just about the time of the fire, she happened to be tin Abe other side of -the road, atthe corner of the turnpike back lane, in watching her' 'brother, John Trigg, lest he should get into a squabble with the prisoner, who was passing. She saw him as she said, in in at the fiottom of and up the close, called Foothls-close, and that be got over a wall,' by doing which he was enabled to get to the preinises which were est fire to. . • • Jane Ansell, in whose father's house the thinner and his family live, merely stated the time the vintner got home that night, at a quarter before twelve.. . John Simkins, a relation, a brotber-in-law, with whom the prl- ' so-ner was not on good terms for a long time, and who lives with thoprisoner's father, whose house was burnt, said, that he saw the prisoner•on the spot at the time of the fire ; that he took a chair our of the house on fire, which was his own father's, and dashed it to pieces, and a few other trifling acts,' which were perfectly innna terlal. • Proof was also adduced of some observations made by the prisoner concerning his brother-in-law Simkins, but they were of a very exceptionable nature. It came out,kowever, on cross-exatnination, that the' prisoner, about the same time that it was supposed he was harbouring a malicious design against Simkins, had said be was willinglo be on good terms with that person and all his family. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. DOWLING submitted that there was not snitch:he evidence here to warrant the calling on the prisoner for his defence. • .Me. throe MARROW .said he was of the same opinion. Having made some observations, the substance of which was that the in• quite :which had been instituted was a very proper one, directed the Jury to final a verdict of Not Guilty.
