This was all said 4 n the hearing of the General.

DE etated the Calle 011 the part of the plaintiff. I 33 .!!s action brought against the defendants to recover cow- I -•,.esanon damages for it retired to give • character to the plal.n. onn lived with them in the slipway of female servant. The p they would perceive, occupied an humble station in society I ant dam in elite!' character was of the utmost importance, so that t est Was vi.l.nahle to her in life was staked to the present issue. i fi:.M7.... was aware that the evidence which he should • aictoe, would he received with the meat jealous mutton by the woo themselves were masters, on account of the disparity in t. :e rar.k of the parties. The defendants were in a very different a viatica l i ons the plaintiff; they were persons of rank and °pile I ace, residing at the west-end of the town. Mr. Cocks was • b.Aer, who heat a house in Harley-street, the domestic arrange. lemma of which, as was natural, he entnisted to the superintend. ellee of his wife, en that she was the actual defendant in the present ease. The pla intiff entered into her service about three years ago ; e.:e conducted herself so mach to the satisfaction of her mistress in this situation, that she was promoted to the grade of waitingmiaid ‘ti Mrs. Cods. This, at least, was a test of the approbation of her n....trt.s. it alsobappened that one of the children became ill, red tae plaintiff was entrusted with the care of the child, as the Inn sr and meat eligible person for such • duty. However, the iinditig the business of her situation so laborious, intimated tee intentien of leaving the service of Mrs. Cocks. Mrs. Cocks e anted her not to quit ; and told her, that if she did ao, she would be obliged to go to the county., and would be reduced to poverty, and probably to disgrace. Meanwhile, the plaintiff applied to Mrs. C. Burnett, of haling Park, for a situation ; on this appll -3lrs. Burnet made Inquiry of and out of this inquire, the present action arose. Mrs. B. that she was is dressing hair, and other dot aining tosituation of wa,timi.auald. She further described the plaintiffto be " unsteady." Titis night be variously interpreted,it might mean a person going Cos"! stairs fur two thing", and forgetting one of them. But the J:at surely would not he disposed to put such a construction upon in, hat rather form their opinion of it from the effect of' this repre sentation upon the subsequent conduct of Mrs. Burnett, 'icon s eyed in her answer to the plaintiff. She said. that if, after having Lied for two years and a half in the capacity of aursery-maid and naiting-maid to Alta. Cocks, she could not obtain • character t: urea Ler. and was not Littnil for her situation, she would not be a fit eersor to wait on her (Mrs. 11.'s) daughter ; accordingly she lost tt.is situation. If she to an unfit person, let Mrs. Cocks this day come fors ard and prove her assertion. This peon girl, in conic qi.mice of this refusal on the part of her mistress to give her a chs r-ner, was naturally reduced to great distress, until at length her case at:meted the attention of a clergyman, and Mr. Jenkins, a m ane:table teacher of dancing. A letter from an attorney was af. 6trards addressed to the defendants giving notice of the present actiuu. This lettet contained a remonstrance with the defendants, sad rv , uired that a character should be given to the plaintiff. spe c.tverg the faults which they found in ha character. Mrs. Cocks ositira meant to take her back into her service but repeated her de termination not to alter the course she had ta ken. These were the he should adduce in evidence. It would be hard inel.eti, it a servant, however corext may be her conduct, should be Ihrlirrti in a sort of moral prison, by a threat that she should re ceive no character, if she presumed to leave her situation. He era, ssnsfied the Jury would not sanction such a proposition, more particularly when they considered what an all-Important eonse ip.inice character was to servants. He (Mr. Sergeant Wilde) had ,s •• acknowledgement. and one only to wake to the defendants; it that they put this case into the hands of a Special Jury not tat lie could elpcet a favourable bias to his client from siren in c : , i i - st ' ,non in lite ; but, bccaus: as master., they were well aware of iltu relative 'lutist of masters and servants, and that they would ..) it. it verdict impartially point out the conduct which masters rna r it-tresses were bound to observe towards their servants, and Ire ien their servants were entitled to expect.

Is it true ?" She admitted that she was out at that liner. and began to cry. I asked her then, if she would have any AV `dial) to taste an apology to UM Cons. Site expensed lan willingness to do so. I then mid, so you have tain l consulted hitherto with Mt. Stevens (plaintif ma f's attorney), and 3lr. Valentine, don't go on my ts alone. She eft ass • deci that oche wo o do " so. do not know that Mr. Valentine with was tion not told by plaintiff that he wrote letters fur her. Mrs. Cocks told me that he was n ckrgyman. Re-examined.-1 was not told by thmplaintiff how lore before she quitted the service of dies. Cocks, the circumstanca of her go ing out at five o'clock in the morning occurred. Nothing passed between Mts. Cocks and rift respecting an apology, until I spoke of it. On so, mentioning it, Mrs. ( , o is consented to receive it. I ' said, I would go home, and indoce the plaintiff to make one. Mrs. Cocks said, she did not want to deprive the girl other bread. Mrs. Jenkins took an interest in the girl. I certainly tom very much displeased with her for not having told toe the circonsamce of her b out at five in the morning. Mrs. Cocks told me, that Sir W. Knighton had recommended the change in the 'aviation of the plaintiff; in her service, on account of her unsteadiness in the cam of children, in omitting to give them regularly the medicine pre scribed for them by Sir William. Mrs. E. Lees examined-1 Am the defendants' housekeeper. After the plaintiff had given her warning, I bad no direct commu ideation with her at the request of my mistress. I told the plaintiff that Alm. Cocks would sec her if she would go to her, but that Mrs. Cocks did not desire her either to go or to stay. Anything beyond this that I might have said to the plaintiff was from iny self ; Mrs. Costs had not authorised me to say anything to her. Mrs. Cocks had only said, that if the girl made an apology, she would Pee her, but had not desired me to repeat this to the girl. I recollect the time when plaintiff went out in the morning; I think that was 'near about a twelvemonth before she gave warning to leave. She lived in the family MOT! than two years and a half; she was at first nursery maid, and afterwards maid to Mrs. Cocks. There were four children. About six months after plaintiff came to the place one of the children was taken ill ; the plaintiff attended the child. Mrs. Cocks was satisfied with her conduct, and I be lieve mode her a present. (,'roes-examined—Sir Wm. Knighton used to attend the family. I was not present at any time a complaint was made by Sir Wm. Knighton against her. I was desired to deep in the room with the chikl. The care of the child was not entrusted to the plaintiff alone; I slept there during the night, and was often therein the day. Re-examined—Mrs. Cocks lived in the same house in which the child ass. By the CI7IET JUSTICE—Whets I advised plaintiff to make an apology, I knew of no specific charge against her. It must have been something between her mistress and herself; it must have been a twelvroonth after she had been in the Park. Barnet Stagg.-1 am hatter to Mrs. Cocks. I remember when the plaintiff quitted Mrs. Cocks' service. I had no conversation with Mrs. Cocks on the subject, nor with the plaintiff at her desire. I never hard her desire any body to say any thing to the plaintiff'. I don't recollect bearing Mrs. Cocks say any thing to me about it. I heard her say, but not to me, that the girl might stay in the house if oche pleased . I saw a pelisse which plainti ff ' told me her mistress had given her for her kindness to her child.• It was& new ona, and I never saw it in any other person's possession. Crow-examined—l never heard that Sir Wm. Knighton had complained of her. Another witness, the nurse, was called to confirm the evidence ,out the giving of the pelisse to the plaintiff for ha attention to the children. The evidence on the part of the plaintiff here closed. Mr. Sergeant Vatenriax addressed the Jury on the part of the defendants. The Jury had now come to the conclusion of the evi dence which was to be adduced to support the charge of malice against Mrs. Cocks. After such a detail of evidence, he hardly thought that he would have been called upon to address them. fie would ask them, "On what part of the evidence they had heard could they find foundation for the charge of malice against the de fendant ?" The present case was different from others of a similar nature, inasmuch it would not be sufficient here to prove the false hood ; it would be moreover netwassry to prove ninlice in the mind of the accused party. In the case •• Rogers r. Sir O. Clifton." the defendant went so far as to tell the person with whom the plaintiff had formerly lived in the capacity of butler, and from whom he had obtained a good character, that he should not in future give him a good character, as he was a lay, ill-tempered, and impertinent fellow. Ile wrote to the same effect respecting him to a gentleman who was about to engage hint ; and, further, that he was obliged to put him out of the house by means of a police-officer, and after wards to settle his wages by the interposition of an attorney. Vet this was held to be a privileged communication. The Ciller Jeer icr—The law upon the case is quite clear; and it only remains for you, Brother, to show its application to the present case. Mr. Sergeant VAUCHAre resumed.—There were no facts in err donee which showed a malicious intention on the part of the de fendant. The girl hail indeed been out one morning at five o'clock. This was of itself a very suspicious circumstance. She herself wished to have an inuendo conveyed to the Jury upon this part of the mu, which Mrs. Cocks never haul intimated. She deemed it necessary to say that she had never been accused of int. proper conduct, or of light behaviour towards the male sex. Now Mrs. Cocks had never made such an accusation ; it was a construc tion of her own adoption ; and all that 3lnt. Cocks did was, as any person would do under similar circumstances, refuse to give her a character for steadiness. Upon the other parts of her character Mrs. Cocks was equally candid in her interview with Mrs. Burnett. She said she was honest, and that she was sober, but she could not give her a character for steadiness, and she stated why she could not. It could not be denied that the departure from Mrs. Cocks' house, to go to the Park, was at least a most sus. pawn siteumstance. It was not explained to day ; bit did the Jury suppose if a favourable explanation could be given of it that it would this day be withheld from them. Her removal to be wait ing-mald to Mrs. Cocks was, however, explained on account of her inattention to the children, and the opinion of Si William Knighton of her unfitness to take prooer care cf them. There was not in proof any intention of a wish on the part a Mrs. Cocks to prevent the plaintiff from procuring a situation in London or else where ; she gave her a good character as far as she possessed qua lifications to sustain and to warrant, and only ',relined to recom mend her for qualifications in which she was deficient. Ile was satisfied, therefore, that the Jury would find a verdict for his client, olden thew were prepared to say, that the master or mistress should not in future give a candid opinion of any servant, if that opinion were not an entirely favourable one. No witnesses were called on the part of the defence. The Caner JVSTICE, in summing up, told the Jury that the leading consideration for them was, how far the representation maths by Mrs. Cocks to Mrs. Burnett was a malicious one. The extent of that communication was, that she was unsteadT, and the principal fact on which that imputation was grounded, was, that the plaintiff had gone out one morning at five o'clock. 'flint cer tainly was a circumstance of a very suspicious nature, but it ad mitted of explanation. No explanation was offered that day for her departure from home at that early hour. and if in the absence of any satitictory explanation of it. her mistress had discharged her that very day she would be justified in doing so; but the plaintiff was entitled to a character as she omitted to do so. and permitted her to remain in her eniploymcttt a twelvemonth after that trans. action. It might be sopranod that she was permitted to remain from a humane motive. that frequently actuates masters and mis tresses ; namely, that lice conduct might be amended, or until she might have an opportunity of leaving without injury to her cha racter ; but a barrier was put to that supposition, by the circum stance of the plaintiff being the person who gave the warning to quit, which nothing, it was to be presumed, would come from the mistress, if any fault were to be found with her, or any charge preferred against her. The question of malice was one certainly for the consideration of the Jury ; if there were no malice in their opinion, then they should find for the defendants ; but if they were of opinion that there was malice, and that the plaintiff had sof ! feint in character from misrepresentation, then they would find for the plaintiff in modetate damage:. and place her in the saute situa tion in which she was before she left the service of the defendants. The Jury retired fur about two hours, agd returned a verdict for the plainuff.—llaniages 1501.

(From the Frerunnes JawedL) A Court of Proprietor: was held at the Bank on Saturday last, Barb Trevor, Esq. Governor, in the choir. When the Governor read the resolution of the Directors, award ing a dividend of 5 per cent. fur the curtest half-year. Sauuxr.Frteors,Esq. rove and said, that he considered the Directors entitled to the thanks of the Meeting for keeping up the dividend, had moved a resolution accordingly. Jous linen, Csq. said, that however be might approved some of the observations of the worthy Proprietor, be could not concur in the proposition he had made. He conceived there was no danger of any reduction of the dividend, unless occasioned by bad management. The reduction of the dividend of the Bank of England arose from the circulation of the Bank being reduced by itany millions upon the resumption of cash payments ; whereas, the circulation of the Bank of Ireland. instead of being reduced, was increased to a great extent, so that the profits now arising from discounting at four per cent. with an increased circulation. is equal to the profits from discounting at five per cent. with a diminished circulation, and such profits might be greatly extended by discount ing on a more fibersl principle, and taking bills or longer dates, with the collateral nanny of Bank Stock. lie considered it very bed management for the Directors to have suffered the rights and privileges of the Bank of Ireland to be interfered with, and in fringed upon, by a late Aet of Parliament, foe establishing the Hibernian Joint Stock Company. By that Act of Pirliament powers are vested in that new mnshrootu Company, which the Act of l & 2 Gem 4. declares shall only belong to the Bank of Ireland, and some privileges are given to it beyond what the Bank of Ire land has.

KENT ALSIZES. IllaTorroxii, Dsc.l4. The Winter Gaol Delivery commenced here to-day before the Hon. Mr. Justice Buiauvuu and the Honourable Mr. Baron GANNON. Edward Camber., Richard Jour* Hamowied, Joh* Farley, henry Charles Dealt, Fordham, Guillaume Ilockherst, Emend Roast, and George Rembigtose, were capitally indicted on the 15th Geo. 111. c. 121. fat having, on the Bth of October, on the high seas within am bandied leagues of the coast of the county of dent, maimed and wounded James Quested, an officer of his Majesty's Customs, while acting in the execution of his duty. A second indictment, founded on the II th section of the same statute, charged t h e same prisoners with a transportable felony. Mr. Sergeant OrisLow, Mr. NOLAN, and Mr. DOLLAND, sp. peered to prosecute the ease on the part of the Beard of Cus toms; Mr. A xnxzwe and Mr. ADOLPHUS were for the prisoners. Upon full consideration of all the circumstances of the ease, the prisoners, by the advice of their Counsel, claimed the privilege of pleading guilty to the minor offence, on condition that they should not be prosecuted on the charge which, if proved, would of their lives. The Counsel for the Crown siguitied their readiness to take the more merciful course. The prisoners then severally pleaded guilty to the minor offence, and their plea were recorded. To the capital indictment they pleaded not guilty, and the Counsel for the Crown having declared that they did not propose to offer any eel. dente for the prosecution, the Jun were directed to acquit the pri soners, which they accordingly did. The circumstances which gave rise to the prosecution were, we understood, of a desperate nature. Sir. Quested was the Com mander of a revenue cutter, and had boarded a smuggling vessel on the coast of Kent, laden with smuggled spirits from Flusffr g. for the purpose of se:ins the "MO. The pnwnae, who formed the crew of the smuggler, resisted with • olence. lily. Quested received a desperate blow, and was *brown into the sea, and oar. rawly escaped drowning. The prisoners put in a written statement in mitigation of punish. meat, in which they disclaimed any premeditated violence towards the crew of the revenue cutter. They were wholly unarmed, and though they had their pocket knives, with which it was in their power to have wounded or murdered the custom's crew, yet they abstained from violence, and actually throw their knives into the MM. The blow which Mr. Quested received was inflicted by the prisoner Remington. without any co-operation on the part of the others. All the prisoners ex pressed sorrow for the unlawful con duct into which they had been betrayed, and threw themselves upon the merciful consideration of the Court. Alr. Justice RIIIIDOCIk/1 expressed his conviction, from the de positions before him, that the prisoners had meted in conceit srith each other, and had determined by force and violence to effect the purpose of their unlawful trade. Providentially the wounded off.- ter hail survived the injury he bad sustained. He did not thick it necessary to carry the law into force to its fullest extent against all the prisoners. The lenity with which the Court was disposed to treat them would, he hoped, have a salutary effect upon their foture lives, and worn theiainst the repetition of offences of this na ture'repeatedwhich, if, must brhtg Oven to an ignondnious death. Th o es s ee of Remington was dl sent in its clecumetanees from that of the other primulas, sen tenceandereaseirstrefe:dtaaccordingly. The sen tence upon him was, shat be et • s o f sim s gram, that the other prisoners be embed for 8 months, and kept to hard labour in the House of Correirtion. Refre Mr. Barra GA itiow.l SITE ZING V.

This was an agaiTst 11 ; ;.% Irt;;;4 7 and Chad,: (;nonce Rolerts, two Excise otHcers, for a conspiracy to intern into this country, for wear, certain manufacturNl goods or China, contrary to law, and for receiving a bribe from one Charles Thomas Hodder to allow such goods to be imported and landed. Mr. Sergeant Os 41.0 W, Mr. Not. ax. and Hor.z.aNn, con ducted the prosecution, at the instance of the Board of Excise; and Mr. ANDREWS conducted the defence. It appeared, from the evidence of Mr. Holdder, the principal witness for the Crown. that on the Slat of blanch last he arrived in t h e River Thames, off Gravesetd, OP board the Royal George, China 'hip, of which he was the steward. The defendant aVymark, whom he had known before, came, along with othcr Excise officers, on board, for the purpose of attending the vessel to the East India Docks. As soon as Wynetrk came on board he addressed himself privately to witness, and asked him if he had any things to take care of." Witness replied that he had a few articles which he wished to have landed, and said he wished the defendant to take care of them. Immediately afterwards NVymark introduced the defendant Hober.s. as a friend of his, who might be ealely in trusted with some of the articles. ll'itness delivered fifteen par eels to the defendants, containing China crape. &heals, end scurf., to the number of 19, and desired then; to be deposited with a Mrs. Baldrey, whose husband keeps the Dyers' Ams in l'anr.on.street, which the defendants undertook to do. In a few days afterwards, IVytnark asked the witness what he and Roberts were to have for their trouble in the business. Witness desired him to boas mode rate in his demand as possible, inasmuch as the articles were prin cipally intended as presents to some 'lien& in lamdfm, and not for sale, end asked him what he expected. Wymark said he hoped SI. would rot be thought too much. Witness replied such • arms of money was quite out of the question, under all the circumstances. ' He, however., told him that he had ten Spanish dollars (all the money he had), which were much at his service.

Witness was still dissatisfied, and fieally made the transaction known to the Board of Little, aad they insti tuted the present prosecution. Mr. Hodder was earoborated in his statement by several wit nesses. Mr. ANDREWS, finding the ease too strong to grapple with, yielded his clients to a verdict. but submitted them to the inereihit consideration of the Court, on account of their families, their loss of character. of situation in the Excise, and the cons:No:sot poverty and ruin which they had entailed upon thetnsclrn by their mis conduct.

EXECUTION OF JONE:i AND WEAVER AT HERTFORD. l'estenlay morning, pursuant to the directions of the Learned Judge, Mr. Baron GARIIOW, who went the last Home Circuit, William Jones and George Weaver, who were convicted of the robbery, and desperate burglary, in the house of John Haynes, Esq. of Hasting-fordbury, steward to Earl Cowper, underwent the last sentence of the law. Tire circumstances attending the capture, conviction, and even execution of these criminals, were so many and extraordinary, that the crowd of persons, principally of that class called small fanners, who thronged into Hertford to see the execution, was very great indeed. It, perhaps may be remembered by our readers, that in the night of the 9th of June last, the house of Mr. Haynes was entered, by the drawing-room window being forced open, and five or six men, armed, proceeded to Mr. Ilaynes's bedchamber, having previously secured his son, a lad of fifteen ; they covered tip Mrs. Ilaynes with bed-clothes, knocked Mr. Haynes down, tied his arms behind his back, and rolled him up in a carpet, and then proceeded to rifle the drawers, and a cheat, whist) they plundered of money and securities to the amount of 'mar. with which they escaped. and were trend on the road to London, through Watford, and the green lanes, as far as Edgeware. The burglary had evidently been a long time concocting, as it is now well ascertained by Mr. Thomas Nicholson, the Under-Sheriff of the County, that the robbery was planned ' by some person who well knew Mr. Ilayness affairs, and who also km w at about what time he would be receiving Earl Cowper's rents. The robbers were eight in number, and had g o ne down front London on the evening of the 9th of June, and, after accomplishing their purpose, re turned in two light chairc-carts by the route which we have stated, which is contrary to theme they went. A re ward of :mu guineas being ottOred, in the course of a month after some of the police apprehended Thomas Harris alias Long Ned, Thomas Davis, Charles Green alias Schofield, ' John Marsh, and Frederick Sullivan ; and about the same time seine of the City Police apprehended a man named Dudfield, who is now awaiting his trial at the Surrey Assizes, on charges of being an accessary before and after the fact, and with receiving the securities and notes in that county. It is thought his fate is somewhat involved in that of the two unhappy men who suffered yesterday. A very long Investigation took place in the case of the others, the result of which was, the discharge of Marsh and Sullivan, and the committal of Harris, Davis, and Green, and they were capitally convicted at the Summer Assizes. Mes. Haynes swore positively to Green, and de clared he interceded with his companions to prevent her being ill-treated ; and this circumstance was considered of so mach weight in Iris favour, that the sentence of death was commuted to transportation for life, and he was imme diately sent to New South Wales by a convict ship, which sailed about that period. With respect to the other two men, they were left for execution, although Harris posi tively snit continually declared his innocence, and on the vitt called his wife and two children to prove an alibi, who declared he was at Astley's Amphitheatre on the night of the 9th of June. But this testimony was unsupported and the unfortunate man was left to his fate. The day before that appointed for Lis execution, Davis, who was really concerned in the robbery, made some dis closures, totally exculpating Harris, and solemnly pro testing that that man and Green knew nothing about it. In quiries were made, which have confirmed this statement, and on the morning appointed for their execution, the Under-Sheriff communicated to them the intelligence of their being respited. Since that time the most persevering and extensive investigations had been pursued, and the result was, that the entire ramifications of the plan were fully discovered, and Weaver, Jones, and another were appre hended. The latter person was admitted King's evidence, and at the last Assizes, upon the clearest and most com pleat evidence, the two prisoners were found guilty. They were traced from the time of planning the robbery, on the 7th of June, to the morning of the loth, after its accom plishment. Indeed, so hopeless did they themselves consi der their case, that they at one time contemplated pleading guilty to tho indictment. Since their conviction, Harris lraa received his Majesty's most gracious pardon, and on Tuesday Mr. Nicholson communicated to Davis that his sentence was commuted to transportation for life. Davis me-ire-el the commuuication very sullenly, expecting to be liberated altogether. Another of the gang was tried and transported at the Old Bailey Sessions in September last, for a different offence. So that out of the gang, which consisted of eight, who concerted and executed the robbery, five have been discovered, not including Dueltield. The conviction of the two wretched men has created a very great sensation in the county in favour of H arris, whose innocence has been clearly proved. 'file two rum, Jones and Nl'eaver, had long been attached to the profes sion of pluni.•r, particularly Jones, whose alias was Country Ili1;; and, from the circumstances of atrocity attending I this robbery, much feeling was nut evinced towards them. Their demean-lir was at times marked by levity, and at others by appearances of contrition and thought. On Tuesday tl:ey took a last farewell of some friends. At eight o'clock the Under-Sheriff, Mr. Nicholson, attended by his office», demanded his prisoners, who were led from their cells and pinioned, and from thence across the garden of Mr. Wilson, the keeper, to the niiil door, where the scaffold was erected, and the London executioner was in nattiness. Tire Rev. Mr. Franklyn read atom!, as the group pro ceeded to the scaffold, the Burial S_rvme. The culprits moved quickly and walked with much carelessness of, mariner, and, on melting the foot of the steps leading to the platform, ran, or rather jumped, swiftly up, and nod (line to CUllle pursuits whom they recognized in the crowd, smiled, and took up a position close together under the fatal beam. Jones then commenced talking to the execu tioner and 11'eaver, whose boasted courage seemed suddenly to quit him, and Iris conincuance assumed an expression of dismay and horror. The arrangements being completed rice exenitioner retired, and Mr. Wilson giving the signal, at five minutes past eight o'clock the drop fell. The crowd assembled was very great and orderly. Sr nt N G CeNS.--t M Thursday afternoon, abort two o'clock. as Mr. William Ilusa, of Ipswich, was on his way to Holbrook, where he lately lived in a small farm, he stopped near Freston wood to speak to Jacob Frost, the woodman. When about leaving him, he inquired if he could go through a path in the wood, which he had fre quently been in the habit of doing when he resided at Hol lintel:. Frost told him the:: was a spring gun in the path, but he was sure it was pot loaded, as Mr. Burch had, dis chap d it the day b. for?, and another person had also told him that morning it was not charged. Mr. IL accordingly pntsuealds way, but he had not proceeded far before he saw the gun, about a yavd from the path, and, stopping to look at it, he accidentally touched the wire, which laid across the pia, and the gun went off, lodging Nat of its contents in his thumb and two of the fingers of his left hand, which were so dreadfully shattered that 'amputation was deemed memory. The operation was skilfully per formed the same evening, by Mr. Nlacnamara, of Ipswich. —The keeper of Sir F. Agar, of itrenteleigh Hall, was shot in the same manner one night last week, and about forty shots have been sine? extracted from his thigh. ‘Ve also learn that a gentleman who pretierves game in another part of the country has been slightly wounded by one of his 1 own eng,ines.—Bary Fu.s (In so.—A few eights agn a gang of poachers vi ' sited Lord Sufilthi's coverts at Stanninghall, near Norwich.
