Tim NEw Gam)! Acv.—A case illustrative of the
working of the New Game Act came before Mr. Woriledge
' and • jury, at the Mildeaball County Court, • few days
ago, in the feria of an victim for damages by Richard Hunt,
• warmer. against George Payee, • constable in the West
Suffolk pollee, far unlawfully searching his cart and seizing
, • sack a hare, and • rabbit. The damages were laid at 5/.
,1 The plaintiff deposed that be hired some land to kill rab-
' bits on ; that he bad been to inspects his traps ; that the
hare in question got into one of them. and he intended to
take it on the following morning to the coarser of the lead.
He had been upon no land except that which he had hired. '
and oe the defendant stepping his horse he at ones told
bins that be bad a hare in his poessesion. The
learned judge said is this case the police did not
carry oat the provisions of the act. al they did not summon
the plaintiff after seizing the sack and its contents. He
said moreover that the suspicion upon which the march was
made mart be twofold—first that he came from land where
he had been unlawfully in pursuit of game, and second, that
he had game unlawfully obtained in his possession. The
legislature had throws an arduous d uty on the police; there was
another cam of this kind at the Bury County Court, and he
thought it would be • public calamity if the County Court
was made the vehicle for bringing an action against every
policeman who made • alight blunder in carrying out an
act of parliaineet which it woe very difficult to understand.
The jury then retired to consult, and, after an atomic* of
twenty mieittes, gave • verdict for the plaintiff, with 31.
damage', and sa. 6d. for one sack, hare, and rabbit.
THR FiTLL BOILRB EXPLOSION AT THE ABER.
•VON IRON WORKS, GL•110110•11SHI/B.—A terrible catas-
trophe, by whisks several saga and boys have been killed
and many ethane seriosely injured, occurred on Wed-
nesday afternoon, at the Aberavoo Iron Works, belonging
to Crewel:lay Bailey Esq., M.P., of the Naetyglo and
Beaufort Works. The machinery of the works is carried on
by means of colossal steam engines, and at about half-put
o'clock in the afternoon, as the works were proceeding
ha the usual manner, and without any indication of the ap-
prosehisg rielemity, one of the huge boilers suddenly ex-
ploded, producing the utmost consternation end alarm, and
spreading death and desolation all around. The pecuniary
coosequences of the exploami can hardly fell short of
10.0001- besides which the greater part of the inhabitants
of the place will, se they were engaged at the Iron works,
be for a time thrown out of employment. Nor is the
money merifice that will be occasioned the saddest part of
the beadiest. The sodding water, fragment. of iron, steam,
ha, blies scattered with terrible force all around many al
the Mph** were sadly injured, and five or six Irilkid.
Amongst the injured is the manager's son, Mr.
Nearnyth, obis is so badly hurt that be is Dot expected
recover. The catastrophe altogether is one of the most me-
lancholy description.

high wind, be did not hear it until it way close on him.
When be did perceive it, he gave • spring, and threw out

with his feet on the ground. His feet were very badly
torn, bet set so bad ea might have been expected, owing
to the soft mew en the ground. The goods trala did not
