POAcITZRS ON TIMIS Dergscr..—At Sutton-in-
Ashfield, Samuel Slack and Joseph Murray, both of Mans-
field, were charged with having rabbits unlawfully ob-
tained, and being in possession of seta for taking game, on
the 61st ult. Police-constable Butler deposed—About a
quarter-past 4 o'clock on Sunday morning, the 31st ult., I
was on duty in New tedium, Mansfield, in company with
Police-constable Richard Hind and Police-constable Wil-
liam HelL I saw Joseph Murray come out of a farmyard
in a field belonging to Mary Watkinson, and walk towards
me. I was concealed behind a gate-post When he came
near me 1 went up to him and said, • Now, Murray, I
must search you." He said, " Very well." I searched
him, but found nothing on him. He had a large rough dog
with him. When I had finished searching him, he said,
"You see there's more ways of doing it than one." He
then went away. When he had got about 150 yards from
me be stopped and whistled. Hind and Hall joined me at
the same time. We beard a crush in the farmyard as if
some persons were getting over the fence. We then went
into the yard and saw Slack standing behind a pigsty..
When he saw me be jumped out of the field into Newgate-
lane, where Hind and Hall met him. On the spot when
Slack had been standing I found the bag I now pro-
• duce, containing 13 rabbits and two nets. I then joined
Hind and Hall, who bad Slack in charge, and searched him
while I stood by. They found on him another net and 20
net pegs. I said, "Now, we shall take these things under
the new Game Act." He said, " I never got no notice
don't consider it's fair soldiering." Police-constable Hind
gave corroborative evidence. In defence Slack said, " I'd
no notice given me about the new act, which I ought to
have had. If Igo and take the wild animals in the air, I
consider they are mine. If we are not taken on the spot
when we get the game, I consider wears free when we get
home with it. The nets produced are my property." Sir E.
S. Walker—You have so more right to go on a man's land
to take game than yen have to go into a farmyard and take
away the fowls. Murray said—l don't know wby I have
been summoned here at all. There was nothing found upon
me. I know nothing about the nets, and wee not out with
Slack. Captain Hall—We have not the slightest doubt
upon our mind but that you were in company. Yon will be
fined 5L each, or three months' imprisonment, the rabbits
to be sold, and the nets destroyed. The primeees were
committed. and bourne very abusive as they ware being
taken out of court. Addressing Sir Edward, Murray said.
" Yon may be dead when I some out. but your pas will
sot. I'll do for you jet, se help as Clod."
