A BIBLE SEIZED BY THE BAILIFF-S.—A bailiff of
the Wapentake Court of the hundred of Chilterns was, on
Thursday, denoted to serve a process from the court upon a
poor man in Blackburn, the amount being small. The whole
of the family being out of work, and actually in want of the
common necessaries of life, they were unable to master
the payment of one shilling for appearauce, whereupon
the bailiff wised the family Bible, almost the only remain-
ies remnant of the household goods, with which he walked
off ia triumph. The Most Noble Walter Francis. the Duke
of Boatload% and Queen/borough, is lord of the Wapentake.
