A VERDICT OR " DEATH BY NIISADVENTURE'
has been returned in the case of the child maned Wellr, also
by the boy William., at Bath. During the investigation o
the affair the mayor said it could not but be a matter of deep
regret that parents, or any other person•, should keep pistols
loaded within reach of children; and it (1611 precaution had
been used in thi: instance the unfortunate circumstance
would not have occurred.

TIMBER STEALING Ire THE NEW FOREST.—From
a repro of the examine inns before the natgistrates at Lynd-
hurst, of come parties (timber me chants at Ellett) charged
with stealing timber in the New Forest, !sir of wh on stand
committed for trial, it appears that owing to the heat system
by which the forest affairs ha. been conducted, there has
been no difficulty, to parties in the secret, in tutting down
and openly envying away hundreds of beds o, timber; that
there are hewers and eaters ready to extents any orders
given them for such work, and that it is alerest impossible
to connect two links of evidence together. Two p rains are
comet tied, and allowed to give bai., but on such slender
ceidence as to calve them no unessinewt. The greats por-
tion of the statements, as to the origin of the inquiry, an
unfounded ; the suspicions entertained by the Woods and
Forests that they were plundered, are old standinz, and
apply to other forests besides. The warned simplicity and
igtorance of a forest witness are unrcauhsh!e, clear
proof becomes impossible. It is not true that any et the
4ffietn of the forest are suspended.
ISLE 01' MAN.
SEIZURE Or FRAUDULENT NEWSEAPERB.—.SIIIII,
months have elapsed since we (Manx koon) first announced
the increased and increasing frauds practised on the British
revenue, by some adventurers here and in the Channel
Islands, whore entire trade, nim, and object, consisted in the
getting up of newspapers in both, solely lor circulation in
Great Britain and her colonies. We have often, but in vain,
stigmatised this scandalous traffic CIO a fraud on the British
preen—Wl a fraud on the Excise, which was coolly cheated
out of If per lb. drawback, on the scores of tons weight
of paper whereon they were printed—as • fraud on the
Stamp-office to en ens mous extent—and as a fraud on the
postal department of the United Kingdom, nhich was thereby
made the unconscious vehicle of diastmicating all sorts of
anarchical and revolutionary doctrinrs throughout the
length and breadth of the empire. The enormous ex.
portstion of the fraudulent papers to which we have
alluded—amounting to as many as sixteen racks full a day—
has at length attracted the attention of the Customs and
Excise. A seizure was mode of orme of these on Saturday
moriang last, by the collector of Dangle, but we are
given to understand that the government oW.ccrs have no
intention of interfering with the legitimate and bona fide
Manx press, whose circulation in the United Kingdom is
comparatively limited. They are, however, determined to
make seizure of all publications prixted in this island, with
the sole and exclusive of jest of circulation abroad, in direct
evasion of the excise, post, and stamp duties. It is a posi-
tive fact that the revenue' "- " '
