starting.post. No delay occurred in drawing the hones to-
gether. They soon fell in, and were despatched on capital
terms. They stretched in a long line, nearly side by side,
scree the Flat, and it was impossible for the people
at the curds. even with the most -powerful
gleam, to distinguish which animals bad the ad-
vantage. On manng the bushes the ranks began to

THE RIFLE VOLUNTEER AND THE DOG.

At the Wandsworth Police Courier:tater:lay, Hr.
John Karrisoe, of No. 25, Manor-strest, ham, a volt*.
teer in the First Surrey appeared in answer to a
summons charging him with an act of cruelty to a dog,
under circunistecioes which have caused much attention.
Mr. A. Jones, solicitor, the complainant, rose and stated
that his worship would remember that his application was
against the defendant for wounding a dog by shooting, when
it was running about on Wandsworth-common with • lady
and two children. There would be very little difficulty in
the matter, as Mr. Kerrison had expressed his gent sorrow
for what had happened, and had assured him that it
was quite a mistake. Under these circumstances he
was ready to allow the case to drop, ea the de-
fendant wan willing to make an apology and to pay
all the expenses. It was must important that some stop
should be put to rifle volunteers using their fire.arma in
public thoroughfares, as the most dangerous results were
likely to occur. The dug in question was shot through the
hind quarters, and wan running about at the time close to
his niece.

Mr. Ingham hen. inquired if the defendant was present?
Mr. Kerrisun, a young gentleman, then stood up in front
of the table.

Mr. Ingham then addreesed him, and said he hoped that
he saw what a u. practiee it was. He had no doubt
it was done thoughtlessly, but he ought to be more careful
in future. The country were much obliged to the gentle-
men for the seal they had shown in forming themselves
into rifle corps, but if they were not more cautious with
their fire-arms the public would have to fear lees from an
invading enemy than from their friends.
A gentleman who appeared fur the defendant expressed
his thanks to the complainant and his worship for the man-
ner in which they had treated the case. He said that items
one of those unfortunate occurrences arising from the indis-
cretion of youth. The great fault rested with the °Mien in
not having issued orders iu the first instance against using
the riles except in hall practice or on parade. If an order
had been issued to that effect the accident would not have
happened. He hoped it would be a caution to the volun-
teers not to take out their riles in that way.
Mr. Ingham said in the open country there would not he
any danger, but in the metropolitan parishes, where persons
were constantly passing to and fro, it was very dangerous to
use fire-arms, He had, however, no doubt it was done in a
thoughtless moment, and he therefore would allow the sum-
moot to be dismissed.

CONFESSION OF THE LUTON MURDERER.

By the courtesy of the High Sheriff (C. L. Higgins,
Faq.) we (Bedford Times) are enabled to publish the conies.
sion of JosephOastle, made on the day before his execution,
in the memo. of Mr. R. E. Roberta, the governor of th;
county rkion, and the Rev. 0. Hacker, the chaplain; to.
gather with extmete from the diary of the culprit, which he
kept for some time before and after his trial.
The prisoner was visited by his aged mother and brother
a few minutes after 10 a.m. on Friday morning, the 30th
of March, being the day previous to the execution. The
prisoner was frequently implored by his friends to tell the
whole truth about the matter. He said in reply, " I can
say nu more than I have already said." Nearly
an hour having elapsed, and the visitors being in.
formed their visit must be short, they spin pressed
the wretched man to tell the truth, and to do
justice to his deceased wife's m He said, "If
you will come agaia in the afternoon we talk it over."
The governor and chaplain informed the unfortunate man
that although painful to their own feelings, the visit could
not be renewed if he had anyth'ing further to say to
them, the present opportunity was the only one left him to
do so. The governor end chaplain still being present, the
prisoner then said (in reply to questions from his brother)
as follows :

The murder did not take place in the dell-hole ; it was
done on the side of the road where the draggles were stated
to have taken place." Here be showed how he attacked his
wife ; the governor standing by the prisoner he brought his
right arm round the back of the neck, sod placed has right
band over the governor's mouth, and then said, 'lt was in
this position it wall done; I done it with my lett hand. A short
interval elapsed after I gave her the first wound ; it was done
from here to here (at the same time paring his fingers from
his ear to his throat). As soon as she found she was
wounded she said, ' 171 punish you.' She was standing up
at the time I did it ; I seized hold of her the second time
and entered the knife under her ear, and thrust it in the
direction of the windpipe. (This, no doubt, was the wound
that caused death.) As soon as she had received the second
wound she said, 'Joe, yon have dons it at last !' Ido not
know what else she said. She walked towards the dell.
hole, and she there tumbled in ; she was not dragged. I
saw her in the dell-hole on her knees in the attitude of
prayer, with both hands lifted up towards heaven. When
1 left her she was alive in the dell-hole. I did not know
her fingers were cut, nor do I know how my own hands
got cut." In answer to his mother's question, "Did you
I bring the knife r and after considerable pressing, he simply
said " Yes."
Shortly after the mother and brother hail taken leave of
the prisoner, he said, " 1 bosught the knife with me in my
trousers pocket. 1 did not intend doing anything of the
kind. She had not a chance to get away. If she had only
' said have mercy upon me, I should. I was afraid she world
have me punished, or I should not have done it. She said,
'Joe, you let rue alone and do no more ' • I'll go all the way
with you, and I'll not punish you.' She wore her ;haw'
higher that morning round her neck. I never saw her wear
it so high before. It was very high up to her neck. It was
cut through. I did not think she was killed when I left
her. I did not place the knife in the field ; I threw it there
from the road." At a andisequent period of the day the
prisoner renewed his allusion to the melancholy event, and
the chaplain asked him if she cried out when he attacked
her. He in reply said, " She could not, my right sine was
round her neck, and my hand was on her mouth, which pre.
vented her. I then begun to saw with my left hand."
After the friends had left the prison, the governor went
to the prisoner, and when leaving the cell the prisoner
called to the governor and said, " What, you are going
away r The governor replied, "No' I will stop if you
wish." The prisoner said, 'Do ; sit down, and I will tell
you all about it." He then made the following statement,
which the governor committed to writing in his preens's.
The chaplain shortly afterwards came in, and was present
during the disclosure.

" My wife left Ware on Monday morning, the Bth of
August. After she had been gone about three hours I
started to the Hartham railway station in Hertford, in
pursuit of my wife ,• but finding she was not there, I
went in pursuit of her to Hatfield station, thinking to
hear something about her there. Not having heard any-
thing of her, I proceeded to Cromer Hyde, at. which
place I heard that my wife (according to the description I
gave of her) had been there, and had gone on to Luton.
I walked all the way to Luton, and arrived at my wife's
father's house about 10 o'clock that same night. I thought
they were all gone to bed. I did not disturb the house. I
then went to the plait dye-house lielonqtuo.3my father-in-
law, where I intended staying for the Shortly. after
I heard some
some one at the door of the goieg in. I
went out of the plait-house and walked up to the door,
thinking the person at the door was my wife just arrived:
I laid hold of her, bet finding the voice was not that of my
wife, I let her go, and ran away. 1 walked round the town
two or three time' and asked • policeman for • night's
lodging. I then returned to the plait-house about 12
&clock that night, where I remained until • quarter to
seven o'clock the following morning. When I left the plait-
house I went to my father-in-law's house ; finding the door
on the latch I walked into the house and asked Emily
if ber father was at home, and at the same time asked her
to allow me to sit down, which I did. I asked her if Jane,
my wife, was there. She said she was in bed. I Weed her
permission to go upstairs, which I did, and found my wife
in her mother's bed. I asked my wife to allow me to Ia
down in bed with her. She refused me. I however took
off my boots, undressed myself, sod got into bed to her.
Some conversation took place, when I asked her to become
reconciled to tee and let the past drop. 1 asked her to
turn round to me in bed, but she would not, nor did she do
so. My wife's sister urged her to get up and oome away
from ins to breakfast. My wife got up and left me in bed.
Some one of the family came to me shortly afterwards and
told me to get up, se I could not stop there. After some
persuasion from them, and threatening to throw me out of
bed, I got up, althouglAgainst my will, feeling tired, having
walked from Ware through Hatfield to Luton, and having
walked 10 miles in addition the previous morning iu quest
of work, in all not leis than 34 miles, and without having
anything to eat. I got out of bed about 9 o'clock on the
Tueehiy morning, dreamed myself, and came down stairs. I
found breakfast was over. I sat down about an hour, and
had a pipe of tobacco, before leaving the house about 10
o'clock that morning. My wife had some bread and pork,
which she ate in my company. My wife afterwards urged
me strongly to leave Luton, and promised if I would she
would go part of the way with me. I told her I would
drop down deed and die of starvation before I would leave
her behind in Luton. My wife still pressed me to leave
Luton, and at last 1 unwillingly consented, she promising to
accompany me part of the way. Before we left one of her
'Were said, 'lf I were you I would get a divorce.' In reply
my wife said, 'How can I get a divorce? for it wants
money, money, girl.' After leaving her father's house,
we entered into conversation, and she told me she was
ashamed of me. I asked her if she thought she was doing
her duty in saying she was ashamed of her husband ! 1 told
her I meant her to leave Ware in a week or two, when the
militia came out. She reminded me they were coming out
on the 11th of September. I said, ' You are wonderful par-
ticular in feeling it out.' I asked her if she would live with
me again, for the way in which we were living made me
sick of life ; and I told her so. She said, 'lf you are, lam
not.' She repeatedly upbraided me for coming sitar her.
I &eked her why she had left me in that sly manner. She
said it had been planned a week. I told her if I had in-
tended to run away from her 1 would have told her, and
would have acted more straightforward. I then asked her
again if she would live with one. She said, 'I am afraid.' I
told her she need not be afraid. I held up my hands
and said, I hope they may
_wither if ever I lift
up my bend against you vein. I asked her to turn
round and kir me. She would not do so. I then kissed
her cheek. We walked close together across the fields along
the footpath beyond the Model Farm leading to Summeries
Clothe I put my arm round her waist to help her upy the
hill, and studto her, ' awry you up tired as I ern. She
walked on my right midis ;we went along the way together
to the top of the hill, when she said to me, 'Surely you
cannot want me, you have a mother who can do for you.'
On this I withdrew my arm. She immediately i
behind me, and kept uttering some words which
did not understand. I did nut speak to her myself,
for some yards after I took my arm from her waist. I
stopped in the way while she came up to me. She walked
then on my left side, I then put my left sem round her
waist and endeavoured to kiss her, but she did not seem
willing. I still kept my arm round her waist walking along
the reed, until we came near to the place where I heard she
was afterwards found. I then asked her again if she would
live with me ; she said in reply, ' You don't want me.' I
said, 'lf I had not wanted you I should not have come so
many miles after you.' I Dade no more pn.peeit:ons to
her, and cared no more for life, as life seemed • burden to
me. I then laid hold of her (she being then on the side
nest the bank) and kissed her then. The deed followed,
as I related to my mother and brother this morning, in the
presence of the chaplain and governor of the prison. Dated
the 30th of March, 1860. This has been read over to me,
and is true. Jostles CANTLE."— This is witnessed by It. E.
Roberts, governor of the gaol, and °eon* Maclear, chaplain.

ALARM 'iF FIRE AT THIS PAVILION TLIZATRIL
Some consternation was created last night among the
audience at the Pavilion Theatre by any of one, caused by
one of the draperies slightly catching. It was soon ex-
tinguished and the performance pro.ed. No injury was
caused to any one in the confusion.
PROPOSED FOOT-SKIDOE AT Rictimoteti.--Some
tinieago we expreseed • strong opinion against the policy of
the Office of Works in refusing assent to the landing on the
crown hada After a tedious negotiation, the government
have given in, but only on condition that the promoters pur-
chase up the crown ferry at Islewtoth (half-s-mile distant)
fur the modest sum of 1,2110 f. Thus, this ferry-tight will
met. very nearly three times as much as the bridge Resit. A
public meeting has been held in Richmond to raise subscrip-
tions for the purpose, the Hon. Robert Bourke taking the
chair. Addresses were delivered, and resolutions were 11134 •
nimously poised that the proposed foot.bridge, as • work of
general utility, was deserving of the financial support of the
population, both on the Surrey and IfidcUasex Mee of the
