MURDER OP THE EARL oP DEERE'S GAMEKEEPER.
—At the St. Helen's petty sessions, on Tuesday, H. Robin-
son was charged with being one of a gang of poachers who
shot R. Kenyon, one of the Earl of Derby a gamekeepers' in
the month of November, 1843. It will be remembeted,
that at the time before stated, a gang of poacher', to the
number of ten, entered the preserves of the Earl of Derby,
at Knowsley, in the night time, and an affray took place be-
tween them and the keepers. One of the gamekeepers,
named R. Kenyon, was shot. Five of the poachers, in a few
days afterwards, were apprehended, tried, and convicted.
One of them, named Roberts, was executed' and other
the
four were transported for life. Robinson, although not ap-
prehend( d, was indicted at the same time, a true bill was
found against him, and a warrant issued for his apprehen-
sion. This we put in the hands of Mr. Superin-
tendent Story, and that officer conveyed Robinson
from Beggar's Bush barracks, Dublin, to St. Helen's,
on Thursday se'noight. It appeared, that after the
keeper was shot, Robinson made his escape, and a month
afterwards enlisted into the 48th Foot, where he has been
ever since. He was committed to take hid trial at the next
Liverpool assizes.
YORKSHIRE.
Duty ON TEAR.—The Mayor of Leeds has convened a
public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough for Wed-
nesday next, to take into consideration the propriety of peti-
tioning for a reduction of the duty on teas imported. The
requicition is signed by many of the leading firms in the

town.
REPRESENTATION OF RNARBSBRO'.—At a recent meeting
of the Liberal electors of this borough, held in the Court-
house, the following resolution was unanimously agreedli to:
„That while this meeting has heard with deep regret that enry
Rich, Esq., has decided to relinquish the prospect of again represent-
ing this borough in parliament, it begs to tender him its bet thanks
for his services, not only as a late faithful representative, but also fur
his unwearied and successful exertions ta serve the public and private
intere!a of all connected with the town, without respect to creed or

party."
After which, the meeting entered into the consideration of
adopting measures to secure the return of two Liberal mem-
hers, as th state of the gistration appeared to leave no
doubt thate such might be ere
ffected. Letters were then read
from several gentlemen who had offered to become candi-
dates ; hut it was deemed desirable to defer coming to any
decisive line of action at present, especially as the time for
calling a new parliament was uncerain ; but it was consi-
dered nect nary to be provided with two eandidetes to be
ready to take the field.
MUTUAL IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.—The young men of
Woodhouse, near Leeds, have imitated the example set them
by the young men of other districts in and about Leeds, and
formed themselves into a Mutual Improvement Society. A
week or two ago, they opened their classes with about sixty
pupils, and they have also estiblished a reading-room, which
ros
is already well May they pper.—People's
Journal.
FALL OF SNOW.—On Saturday last, after a very fine
frosty day at Leeds, a heavy snow began to fall after desk,
and, at the time of the despatc'i of our daily express parcel,
bade fair to be of considerable thickners.
ONLY 22 PERsONs have been committed to Scarborough
gaol during last year's mayoralty. The prison has been many
weeks at different times without a tenant.
WISDOM IN YORKSHIRE. —lt is pleasant to learn there is
much less litigation in Bradford than formerly. In the at-
torney's offices it is well known that common law practice is
greatly on the decline. The business at the Court-house,
Bradford, is also much on the decrease. There used to
Wed-
be on
the Wednesday as many u 120 cases for hearing ; on
nesday last there were only 16. For some time past there
has been a gradual decrease.
LINCOLNSHIRE.
The EARL of YARBOROUGH has given his tenants at Cad-
ney, Howsham, and Newstead full permission to kill the
game on their farm.
NOTTINGRAMEDIRE.
THE EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY AT NOTTINGHAM.—
ADJOURNED INQUEST.—On Saturday evening last, the
jury reassembled at Nottingham, to hear evidence re-
specting the female child found on the preceding Thurs-
day, in a package at the railway station. W. Roger-
son, superintendent of the Nottingham police, said he
received the body from Mr. Richardson, ok-keeper in
the parcels office, Midland Railway station. It was in a
wicker basket. The direction on a slip of paper on the lid
was "W. J. Smith, Esq., New Sneton, Suffolk," and he
received a letter which Mr. Richardson said had beenit taken
out of the basket. The following is a literal copy of :
Arnold, November.—Sir,-1 have written several times to Inform
you of my illness • have not received any
.answer; 1 have sent you
the Baby. It lan in my Power Nu pt it, as you Promise to take
It of My hands, Put it out tO Nurse. It Is a Sweat Little crea-
ture, for Its age. I hope this may warn you from Reducing another
Pour girl. It has made me very 111 with Parting with the Baby, and
By the time you get this I shall Be no more. Whenever you ootne
this way, only cast Tour eye In the church yard, and think of one you
have Been the Death of, and adue from ?dram-Ass W.
Outside the letter was an address " W. G. Smith, Esq.,
Suffolk." He (the superintendent) had been to Arnold and
made inquiry, but could not find any female there, or
information, likely to lead to a clue
obtain any
as to the perty who belonged to the infant.
John Willoughby, parcels porter at the Nottingham Rail-
way station, said he received the basket a fortnight ago, of •
hale dark-complexiened woman, according to the best of
his recollection; and she wished to know if it would be
placed inside the carriage, so as not to be thrown on its side,
as it required great care. She paid 2d. for the booking. It
was sent off by the mail train the same night. He saw it
again on Thursday morning last, amongst the London par-
celi. It had been returned " refused." Thinking it might
be some perishable article, such as beef or pork-pie, he opened
the basket, and, while attempting to unwrap, the shawl,
r-
a
dead child fell out upon the ticket-table.—W. Yates, su
aeon at the Nottingham Dispensary, said, I have examined
the body of the infant, and found it a fine well-formed
female child, and should think it was n
a wetheek
bodyold.
There were no marks of violence upo.
I am of opinion that the child died partially from want of
nourishment, partially owing to cold, and partially from
the effects of an overdose of opiate. There was nothing
like suffocation ; the lungs were not gorged with blood as
they would have been had it been suffocated. I should
think the child was put into the basket alive. There being
no further evidence, the coroner adjourned the inquest sine
die, to permit of inquiries being made, informing the jury
that they should be told when matters were in a proper
shape for further inquiry. Since the inquest, it has been
ascertained that a sma.ldark complexioned female, rather ,
elderly, and a young girl, rather tall, apparently her daugh- 1
ter, remained in the station-yard the night the basket was
taken to the office for a long period, and they watched the
train take its departure.
GLOUCESTERSHIRE. , 1
A THIEF DROWNED BY HIS PLUNDER. On Thussaay
last, as a man named George }larding was attempting to
escape, by means of a boat, from the yard of Mr. Kennett,
railway contractor, Bristol, he overbilanced himself, and
fell into the water. The weight of the stolen iron upo
ren hishe
person caused him to sink to the bottom, and befo
could be got out life was extinct.
