A POACIIER CAPING FROM CUSTODY.

- -
William Jones, alias "Stanger," considered to be the
most notorious poacher in Denbighshire, having been
convicted al times, was on Monday being conveyed from
Ruthin Gaol to the Magistratser court, to answer several
charges of poaching when ho escaped. Strange to say,
although only apprehended a week ago with great diffi-
culty, his custodians did not now hemicuff him and
having reached the centre of the town he suddenly bolted
down the street, rushed up a passage, scaled a wall,
plunged into and waded through the river close by,
waving his cap as a signal of victory on reaching the
opposite bank, and gut clear of his pursuers.

BOUILNI.XOIJTH.

FIKAIIIFUL W/11121.W1 SD. - A whirlwind swept over
Bournemouth on Friday evening, which caused much
damage. Fortunately, AA far az we can learn, no injury
was done to life, though there were some very narrow
escapes but property in the comparatively unsheltered
neighbourhood of the West Cliff has suffered immensely.
The storm hated but a few minutes: but the course over
which it spent its fury was waa too easily discernable even
in the darkness& The whirlwind seems to have first struck
the high hills that shelter Bourne on the west, which
undoubtedly considerably broke its force. What damage
it did between the hills and Lorne Villa we have vet to
learn: but that pretty residence on the West slitt pre-
sented a sad appearance shortly after. The sea ran very
high, and fears were entertained for the remaining Part of
the pier. Our correspondent states that while writing he
learnt that a woman was thrown down near Tiverton-
terrace, and received some injuries. Lorne Villa is
fortunately untenanted just now, a ith the exception of
the housekeeper, who was in tho kitchen at the time of
the occurrence, and who, of course, was very much
frightened. The villa is the property of Mr. John Abbott.
of Christchurch, and held on lease by Mr. Warren, of
Vernal Slope. It is teddoni that Bournemouth's boasted
shelter has been outraged by such a violent tempest.

last Sessions. the great unpaid were reliresented by an
Esquire, a Part. a Colonel, and a couple of Captains.
Two poor girls were brought before them for stealing
threepenny worth of mssl at Lyme. It is true it was
*anew hat an impudent affair, for when spoken
to by the daughter of the 0 wn.r, they
not desist, hut swore at her awl coolly eanied

the sentence of one swath's hard labour. --Among
other sentences passed on the same occasion were two,
the one, a man for shooting a partridge, was fined £lO
—the other a labourer for carrying a gun without a

of the footpath leading from Dorchester to Stratton
along the NVeir turnpike. For several days past soma
labourers have been employed taking out the mud and
dirt from the knitters adjoining this footpath, and
instead of wheeling it away, they actually throw it in
great lumps rilht ea the path, thus rendering it a
simple mass of filth, and musing it to be nearly impaea
able. For some time to come all foot passengers mud
walk on the road, and on a road alreasly not too aide.
This is attended with some considerable amount of
unpleasantness, and, on market days, danger too.
Since the abolition of the turnpike, one hai hesa
innocently e..pecting better things—but not F.—the
result does not prove this. The hedges too on each
title of the road have been so mercilessly cut that
great gaps are made by the beasts in numberless pia es ;
added to this, there is hardly one. if ore, gate standing
all through the road, thus enabling the stock to rum
all along to the annoyance and damage .1 a,

Since ISO nine women have been executed, and they all

but the hares ran exceedingly strong, only Eve being killed
although gentlemen from Weymouth and Dorchester
brought in some well-bred dogs. The ground was in good
going order, and although the wind blew keenly from the
N.E, yet the sun shone brightly, and a most enjoyable
day was spent. The coursing worked towards the house,
and after some very aplendid runs during the momning, a

THE GAME QUESTION IN CONNIPPTION WITH

THE COUNTY ELECTION.

To Ike Rditor.

Dear Mr. Editor,—The game question will have •
prominent place in the minds of the constituency in the
coming election. I an not • tenant farmer, but I can
sympathise with the occupiers of land in the feelings of
annoyance and indignation, with which they regard the
preservation of ground game. I think they have reason
and justice on their side. When a farmer has laid out
skill and Labour and has employed expensive manures in
the cultivatinn of the soil, it must be most vexatious to
him to see his valuable crops injured and half destrrive.l
by rabbits and hare& Row is he to pay hi, rent, tithes,
rates and taxes, and lahoerers, when be is thus deprived
of the fruit of his labomm I If, as sometimes is the case,
his landlord makes a Profit by selling the game which has
thus been living en the farmer's 'ore, is it surprising that
the vegatien of the latter should rise to indignation, end
that he should refuse ti vote to any candidate who upholdo
such injustice? With reference to the three can.li•
dates now before the county, it may be threight that those
who belong to the class of landewners will take a view
antagonistic to the interest, of the tenants. In justice to
Captain Digby lefie ought ,sot to 11111 r, Mate/ an unfounfidal
gas/Aries.. I wish to xtate what I know at a matter of fact.
that Lord Digby is entirely oppose,l to the preservation of
ground game, and has for a long time .bme ail in his power
to exterminate it from his estates. I am writing this
'mite unkndwn to his lordship. but I happen to know the
f..et and I think it ought to be known by all the consti-
tuency. . .

I remain, faithfully ynurg,
A CLEROYMAN. AND AN OLD FREEHOLDER Or DORSET.

TIIE COUNTY ELECTIONS.

"An En-Liberal County Member" writes to us (TA.
Doily Netc.):—"Let me urge on my brother Liberals in
Dorset and North Shropshire, and perhaps I ruay add
East Suffolk, in case they do not feel strong enough to
brine /nrsrant Liberal randi.istes, heertily to support the
tenant farmer candidates, although Conservative,. After
all, thanks to the calm way in which the Conservatives
have adopted Liberal policy, the questions that divide us
from a Conservative tenant farmer are few, and sorely
the effort f the tenant farmer, whatescr their politics.
to break through the clique of Tory squires who have
hitherto dictated to the counties, is • movement ' Lihvrsr
In the hest and truest sense, and one strictly deserving
our support."

bacon and biscuits, the property of James Burbridge, with
a 'tar intent • and William John Browite (on bail) was
charged with feloniounly receiving the same.
Mr. Castle prosecuted and Mr. Collins defended. The
boy pleaded guilty, the father not guilty.
Mr. Mark Manley, a grocer, said on October 4th the boy
came to his shop, and ).al a piece of bacon for 4 au he Paid,
Mr. G. Ilasconibe, the value of it being about /o. On Nov.
5 he ellllllo again, and witness sent 14411 w. of bacon by his
apprentice, James Ponder, the valne being IPA. or Ili. Saw
Mr. Itaneombe mulwequently, with him went to the
prisoner's, and said " You have some bacon here that does
not belong to you." Prisoner replied "If I have it is hung
U;, there, pointing to where two parcels were hung up,
in paper which he recognised. Prisoner said the boy stated
he had given In. for one piece and 2n. 3d. for the other to
Mrs. Bascombe. Bacon is from to la • lb.
Sergeant Harvey, on Friday, November 12th, went to
prisoners house, and saw the baron produced tied up in
paper. Prisoner gave him • small piece of bacon, which
he had been cutting and eating from, and there was
another small piece which he had eaten. Prisoner said
that the boy said his master had given it him for going to

one of which had been eaten, and of the other the last bit
was left. . . . .

employ of Me,srs. Devenish : he was also a Forester.
When be went some time after Mr. Manley and Mr.
Bascombe, the bacon was still there.
Supt. Vickery had had compLibita from the prisoner of
the boy's want of honesty. On September 13 the father
gave the boy in custody for obtaining money by fel., pre-
tences from the boy's aunt.
Mr. Wm. Butt, clerk to Mr. Arden, clerk to the Wagia.
• trates, produced the depositions of the father against the
son in a previous case.
The prosecution contended that the priainer knew of
the boys want of honesty, and therefore he hail a guilty
knowle4e, because he had before complained of his being
dishonest.
Mr. Collins urged that there was no case, there being no
proof. of false pretence by the boy. fiup th.-boy
said 'lf you sand bib, of bacon to
