rough of Bury at the next general election.

Itunotclf of SorrowAitic.—A meeting was held
last night of a large number of the electors of the borough
of Semi:twat k, at the Three Tuus'f avesn, fur the purpose
of considering the best course to he adopted at the neat
election of repreeentativex in parliament. John Day, Eeq.,
who of:espied the chair, said that he had been in communi-
cation with a peat number of the els cton of the borough,
who had expreswal heir dissatisfaction with their present
member., who lout neglected local interests, and were not
up to the mark in questions of general public interest. lie
the ensuing ses.ion of parliament it we: necessary that the
poor-law Mandel undergo a change, and upon this question
the present memlie is entertained no decided view*. On
the income-tax they would nut advocate a distinction
Is:wecn the income from labour and that derived
from property. There was likewise the water ques-
tion, in which Sir William Molusworth was not with
the inhabitant. ut the 14orunah. In church matters Sir W.
Mole.worth was opposed to a searching reform. Many
title r nauots could be adduced for requiring more efficient
members fur the borough, and many of the electors had
point, .1 out the present member fur l'enrhyn and Falmouth
(Mr. MowatO as a fit and proper re rem to represent them
in parliament. Mr. Maguire moved, " That in the opinion
of this meeting, the conduct of the present members for the
borough is not .atiebaeury to the constituency, and that this
meeting adjourn for a fortnight to Bake into consideration
the proper person+ to be nominated to represent the borough
at the next election." The resolution wan seconded by Mr.
Bernard. An elector remarked that Sir W. Molesworth
invariably sided with the high church party, and always op.
posed progressive reform. except in colonial matters. Seve-
ral gentlemen present, including Mr. Howard, the were-
tary to the Borough Reform Aseuciation, having offered
some remark., the resolution was put frum the chair, and
carried unanimously, and the meeting broke up.
F.tTel. AITRAY WITII NIGHT POACIIER9.—MAss-
rtra.u. OCT. 23.—During the past week great exertions
have been made by the local authorities to discover the
member. of a desperate gang of night poachers who have
been accustomed to infest the preserves in this neighbour-
hood in large numbers, armed with boulders, Haile, and
bludgeons, no as to los prepared to cope with the keepers, if
they chanced to fall in their way. On hlondov night, the
13th instant, about 30 poacher., thus armed were pureeing
their nightly act upition un land at Buffeted, belonging to
the Earl of Scarborough, when they were encountered by
the tee tiers and watches., eight in number, who, antici-
pating the encounter, were all armed with flails made
purposely for the it use. The handiee were about 1 feet
lung, and the piece of wood attached by a swivel to the
end was IS or lii inches in length. The flail, in former
lip, wes much used un such occasions as these, and not
unusually th. y were loaded with lead; but they met with
the universal condensation of the judge'., and had gradually
gone out of use, until it seems they gave been revived
shortly previous to this affray—the chief incidents of which
will be irathi.r.il from the fealowing evidence taken at an
inquest lust h.1.l before Mr. Folkner, one of the county
coroner., upon the hotly of Welborn Roberts, who was
lolled during the affray on the night in question :
Ir“krick Etlestird Brock, of Belford, gamekeeper, de-
powd-1 am in the service of the Earl uf Scarborough. In
the night of the 13th inst., I, with nine others, was eon-
teal"! amongst Machine gone, at Belford. A number of
patriots earth down the road and paswel us. I think there
w, re about 30 of them. I was not more than six yards
front the road. There was a heap of stones opposite to
m.. I heard them drop these stones one by one into their
peekete. As seem as thry were about 30 yards pant us,
I told our men to take off their cloaks and get
tdy. I am son of his lorele:tip'e head keeper.
W.• hollowed on the grass into the road. as quietly as
w. could. After we had advanced about ISO yards, walk-
ing slow and still, we found a not set on the road. When
we gut to the net we went coneiderably quicker, and aeon
re.whing Cartlidge's gate we saw three men close to it.
They began to throw stones at us. They thee rushed away
lo get over the stile—one of them succeeded, the other two
not. The de-ere...A, who was a tile strong young man, and
Samuel Blend, knocked then down with their Italia. The
third, who gut away, whistled. About thirty yards down
the first field I overtook another man, and knocked him
down with my flail. I passed on, and saw a number of
poachers coming up the other field. I think there were 31
of them altogether. They threw stones at us weighing
from half a pound to three pound. a piece, and we threw
stones at them, for we had taken a lot in our pockets front
the read. Our stones were front a pound to a pound and a
half each. I was knocked down, and remained for some
time insensible. I hid the summand of our men. We de-
terniined to go nn fighting whilst any man was stand-
hie on either side. We were beaten by poachers two
years ago, and were determined not to be beaten
soon. I did not shoot elf my pistol, but it went of
in my pocket by being struck with a stone from a poacher.
Janus Brock said • Whilst we were knocking the poachers
deists with out Haile as Gat as we cont.!, one of the poachers
threw a large stone., and hit Roberts over the head, and
knoeleal him down. Samuel 11,.r0.1 went to him, when he
said " Oh, Sam, I'm done." My brother Frederick took
him to his house, about ISO yards off. He died on the
17:h inst. Ile was, I think, about 2:4 years of age. Some
of the poachers had flails, some had sticks, and the rest
stunts. Several others of our party were much injured,
and one of them (Charleswurth) is still confined to his bed.
We found 13 nets after the poachers were gone ; they were
each about forty yards long. Some further evidence having
been taken, the inquiry was adjourned to Monday
.next,
the 27th inst. About 11 men are in custody on suspicion.

MANsf..ttGIiTER NEAT( PETERIICSID.—On Saturday
a homicide, which has caused considerable excitement, was
committed at Cruden, about seven miles from Peterhead.
The individual who bus thus come to his untimely cud was
Mr. Matthew Flame, formerly a chief boaunan in the covet
guard at Peterhead, but who had retired on a pension
about twelve months, and at Midsummer went to reside at
Crudes, in a lone house on the road side. Mr. Flame had
retired to rest, and left his wife sitting up to finish some
little things necessary for the Sabbath. She was alarmed
by "4 violent knocking at the dour for admittance, and
living unwilling to admit any one at so late an hour,
she put out the candle. At this the person outside be-
came so enraged, and caused so much noise, as to
in,luce poor Flame to get up to pacify the intruder,
who, fancying it was • ymblic house, was annoyed at
being refused admittance. Mr. Flame unfortunately went
out by the back part of the house, and on turning the
comer of the house to come to the front door the murderer
rai,d his stick and struck him a heavy blow on the head,
which felled him to the pound. The poor wife rushed out
on hearing his cry. She saw him gasp once, after which he
etastd to breathe. Her cries brought assistance from the
neatest farm-house some distance of. After some resist-
ance he was secured, and is now in gaol here. The prisoner
is from the Highlands, and had been employed in the her
rine fishery here two or three seasons, as well as at other
wofk, and was on his way here again with the view of ob.
twining a situation in • Greenland ship; but he had been
arinkme, and was ai a state of intoxication when he cont-
ained the fatal deed.—Edinburgh Witness.
