Choldertoo, in pursuit of rabbits, on the 11th
of August. William Long. gamekeeper, stated
that he met defendant with a rabbit on the
grounds in question. He requested defendant
to deliver it up, which he refused ti do. Long then
seized him, threw him down, and obtained pnewerasion of
of the rabbit. They had • tassel, and upon regaining
his feet defendant followed him with the intention of
using violence. Complainant then struck him in self.
defence. In cross-questioning it appeared that there
were other parties in the field reaping, and that another
rabbit wee also started, and taken by • man named John
Young, who was not requeated to give it up, while
!feeling was—A witness named Richard Bieckmore
gaid;there was • genensl scramble made by the men at
work in the field for possession of the two rabbits.
Complainant only interfered with Harding.—Lord Folke-
stone said the Bench did not think a trespass within

answer to the Bench said defendant was not drunk.—
General Buckley here observed that he had seen
numerous carte and vehicles on the Dawnton-road with-
out the owner's names upon them, hence often arose •
difficulty in tracing an offender, and aff!rded • good op-
portunity for an informer to make his fortune.—Super'
inteadent Matthews said he had been on the Downton-
road 'three or four days successively, and met seveaal
'area haring the name, on the back, some had them on
a piene of tin. He warned the partias in charge. •ni
had not ems with Mailer instances since, or certainly
should hare autummied the offenders. From the eon-
attraction of the !faggot carts some of them bore the
name on the off shaft, there being no other place on
which to put it.—Defendant p'esded guilty, adding
that he had been hard at work at harvesting.—The
Bench observed that on some carte the names were
written on even with chalk.- Lord Folkestone informed
defendant that it sae a serious offence, and that he was
liable to a RIM of 40.., or • moth's imprisonment ;
however, as he had nct been previously convicted, the
dm would be mitigated to Is. and costs, or in default

Aran, crueler, On the 18th inst. he asked for a half
holiday for the purpose of attending a cricket match,
which his employers refuted to let him have on the
ground of defendant's general idletien and inattention
to his work. He however absentad himself about 11
chelock, am., on the day in question, and did not retarn
again to his employ on that day. Defendaut pleaded
not guilty, and said, in defence, be was refused the half

said that on the night in question she went to the
publichouse after her husband. who was nearly always
there drinking, and disregarded his home and family.

fendant was then charged with having at the same time
and plasm broken • window of the value of Is., on the
