MUNICIPAL ELecrionsAM ApTgANDOVER.—A contest com-
menced here, but was terminated by a compromise. Three
Liberals and one Conservative went out by rotation ; right
candidates came into the field, but it was arranged that two
of each political party should be chosen, and thus the bustle
and excitement of the contest was terminated earlier than
would otherwise have been the ease.

TEN EXTREME. IMPROBABILITY of the story told by the
footman of Dr. Thomson, in explanation of the robbery at
Gatcombe rectory, induced strong suspicions of the honesty
of that individual. This led to an unusual scene, on Tues-
day, when, as Dr. Thomson was about to proceed to Oxford,
having left the rectory in &carriage and pair for Cowes (the foot •
man riding on the coach-box ), the carriage was stopped near the
mall, and a couple of policemen politely requested the foot-
man to descend, at the same time asking him which of the
packages belonged to him. He pointed out a trunk, which,
with him, was conveyed to the station-house, and a strict
search instituted through both. Not a farthing, however,
of the missing property was discovered ; but during the
search a carnelian and gold pin, belonging to Dr. Thomson,
was found, also a bludgeon loaded with lead, and a pocket
pistol, both of which articles had, it appeared, been con-
cealed until the time when he expected to leave the island
with his master, and when he supposed that all suspicions
against him were lulled. A quantity of damp roil
adhered to both ankles, and they had been evidently
only dug out within a few hours The prisoner was
immediately taken before T. Cooke and I'. E. Turnbull,
Esqrs., who committed him for farther examination, with
the intention of placing him before the Court of Quarter
Sessions on the succeeding morning, to give an account of
his posses.ion of the gold pin; in the mean time a circum-
stance transpired which caused his remand. It appears that
whilst in the custody of the police, after he was taken off the
coach between the mall and the station-house, he contrived
to drop unnoticed a parcel, c. retaining the money which he
averred had been stolen by two robbers from Gatcombe-
house ; as a lad, who passed shortly afterwards, and in the
very line of road, picked up an old pocket containing in gold
and notes the identical sum of 361., which was stolen trom
the doctor and his housekeeper. To render the criminality
of the prisoner more clear, a silver watch-guard, which was
stolen from the doctor's bureau, was also found with the
missing cash.

Tete. POOR REMOTAL Ayr was discussed at most of the
meeting• of the Boards of Guardians in the counties of Essex
and Suffolk last week; and in the first-named county a corn-
mimication bas been opened between the officers of the dif-
ferent unions, as to the propriety of at once carrying the pro-
visions of the new law into effect. In many districts the
boards have come to the resolution of at once stopping the
relief of all non-resident paupers, considering that their
support now falls upon the parishes in which they live.
This, it is feared, will lead to much hardship, as well u
expensive litigation, because as the resolution makes no
distinction, the relief to many who are really remove-
able, and who do not come under the exemption that
the Act provides, will be discontinued; and iu the
wholesale removals that will take place, numbers of
nice points—not only as to the legal construction of
welds in the Act, which is already puzzling the pro-
fession ; but as to the fact of residence, arc likely to arise,
which will lead to endless appeals and enormous expense. To
prevent this, or at least to stave off the difficulty for a time,
the Chelmsford Board of Guardians, after a long discussion
of the matter, have passed a resolution to the effect that they
will continue the non-resident relief till after the next session
of parliament, the majority considering that the act will
be then reconsidered, and some wider measure on the law of
settlement introduced. The Chelmsford guardians are
exerting their influence to induce other boards to adopt the
tame course ; and thus, as far as Essex is concerned, part of
the new act is likely to be left virtually in abeyance for the
present.
