Law X.:—" The ball must be bowled ; if thrown or jerked,
or if, on arrival at the crease during the last action of the
delivery of the call, the bowler's band or arm shall be above
his head, the umpire must all ' No balL' "
Mr. HOLLAND. on behalf and in the unavoidable abuses
of " The Member," then moved, and Captain P,ZDZEICZ
MARSHALL seconded the following amendment on Mr.
Kyneeton's motion:— " The ball most be bowled, not thrown
or jerked., and whenever the bowler shall so closely infringe
on this rule in either of the above particulars as to make it
difficult for the umpire at the bowler's wicket to judge
whether the ball bas been delivered fairly and within the

itinconots AT faux—Yesterday morning
William Hope, who ane serreed to death at the last
Herefordshire mine far the reerter of Mary Corbett, at
=rwick, was rle aged host of the county gaol at
ow. It will be remeabered that at the ten the con-
vict Hope was proved to have been drinkieg at • beer-house
in Ulliapwick (a retired agricultural vilkige, about eight
mike hp= Hareforel), when the ill-fated deomsed,.=
Corbett, • young girl of 16, came to the house on an
for her mistress. The prisoner accosted her, and •
few words pared betweeu them, the girl drink-
ing out of the prisoner's glue at his solicitation.
She left the house and returned a second time, when Hope
again eked her to drink, but eke refused, and imme-
diately on leaving the house agar she was followed out
by Hope. Nothing more of her was seen 1111711, but shortly
after this hour--isbout ten at night—the screams of a
woman were herd by a cottager u he was Miring to rest.
No doubt these were the cries of the poor girl, who was at
that moment gremlin with her violator and murderer.
Hope did not retro— to has lodgings that night, butroada an
excuse that_he slept in a stable (which was shown to be
untrue). Me night was a boisterous or, and at daylight
the body of the poor girl was found in as orchard, covered
with dirt and bred, which bad flowed been her person. She
had been brutally ravished and afterwards throttled or
suffocated by the pressure of the murderer's brawny
hand. Harks of finger nails wen feud Co her neck

ekes there were marks which curiosely ornected the pri7
reser with the murder. The pound was soft, and bad

bar possession on the night of the murder was found where
the struggle took place, while the coat which be wove had
been stuffed into the hollow branch of • tree. Altogether,
the chain of evidence was complete spire and tki
fact that be was • tiaket-of-leave man, and had been several
times convicted, was also against him. The primer, who
confessed his guilt, died eerily. The crowd at the execution
behaved in an rawly manner.—A correspondent sends m
