ME PAPAL POACHING APPRAI IN CHESHIRE.

The following are some additional particulars of
the /
fatal affray with poachers briefly mentioned in the
Cuof yesterday .-
mwer no in which the affray occurred belong to Mr.
Henry Alroyd,d Doddiagton-hall, about seven mile. from
Hotted* in Meath,. They are very extensive, sad the
=has bees so well watched that poaching has born almost
hie. Bat very recently the gamekeepers have re-
ceived informatics that poaching he. been going on in the
tewmitip of Bridgman, and shots have been nerd in one
neighbourhood la particular. Accordinly the watchers have
been on the alert, and on Saturday night six of them went
out together, armed with sinks. The night wee fins,
sad the moon was Ws*, so that objects at sours distance
could be distinctly ems. They heard no shots daring
evening. Some time efMr midnight, when they IMO
in the wood near a large pool of water. they saw before them
four mm, who, having espied them, were hastening away.
They pursued, hemmed in the poachers, and took two of
them, named fire and Hume, into ousWy. They had nets
sad one hare ,in their porton:on, but curled no guns.
The other two poachers were armed with gone. The
watehers rushed on to seize them, when one of the poachers
deliberately aimed at and shot Thomas Haddocks, an assist-
ant watcher. The unfortunate man's abdomen was torn
opee. He ;drove to rim, but fell again; and he was left for
a while, the extent of W ninths not being known even to
himself, his companions still engaging in the pursuit. The
man who bad fired, ming that the reaming three watchers
(two of the six being engaged with the prisoners) still premed
on, cried to his oceopanion, " Are you not going to fire and
knock his brains out P Let me have the gun, and I'll
shoot, him." The men who had the gun immediately fired,
and shot James Boma, an sealant watcher, through the
been. The armed %there then turned and fled, making
good their wept. wen not known to any of the
weathers, bat the lobar Ibe able to identify them if they
should be Una. The watchers then went to the help of the
two who hod been shot. They found that one (Beech) was
quite deed, he most hen died intantansonly. Haddocks,
who still lived, sad tins dead body of Beech, were carried to
an edjoaning thnohoose in Bridgmere, occupied by Mr.
Joaph Beeringion. Sergicial assistance was speedily pro?
wed, but Haddock wee injured beyond hope of remoove,
and moth rapidly. Mr. Atheyd, who Is a utaginsie of the
=, had been early apprised of the occurrence. He mo-
te the fentiscsam on Sunday, end in his presence the
dying man's deposition was taken. Haddocks died at half-
poet six o'clock is Hanley morning.
Lan and linans, the }where who were captured, were
taken to the Nut with lock-up. The Nantwich Folios wen
early on the spot, maim inquiries which might lead to the
discovery of the Mb who escaped ; end on Monday these
inquiries were prosecuted under the superntendenos of Capt.
T. Johns tbnith, the chief constable of the county, tip to
Monday evening, however, we believe only one more appre-
hension bed been made. The donned watchers were fine
young man, Haddocks being 24 year. and Beech 30 yeses of
age. They were unmarried, but Haddocks was the chid
support eta widowed mother.

ANOTHER AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.—Consider. .
able alarm wee excited in' Alnwick, on Saturday, from a
rumour that was current of a man having been killed in an
Zurwith poachers on the Cornwell estate at Hewitt,
the day seven men were apprehended, and lodged in
the Correction Rouse, on the suspicion of being with the
only ponies. On inquiry, the only reliable account we
1 have been able to gather is, that on Saturday morning,
1 Mr. Joseph Nixon, gamekeeper to A. .1. B. Creams%
Req., and a party of watchers came upon a party of poachers
at Revenehole plantation, near Bart Ltibunt, and the
watchers approaching, the up; called upon them to
stand beck and not to come
regarded meat the latter fired, and lodged the contents of
his gun In the thigh and lower pert of the person of Nixon,
sad afterwards succeeded in effecting their escape. A surgeon
wee sent for to Nixon, who examined his wounds, sunset-
' Ise the grain. al shot out of hie person; and he is said to be
oat of immediate danger. Another of the watchers was also
hit, but mil very slightly hurt. The seven men who had
1 been appreWaded at AlnerkOrm• taken ant to Bawl& en
Saturday evening, when Nixon resides, but he was quite
usable to identify any of them, and they were consequently
disekerged. Itis new add that it is the opinion of the
l =lsand watahin that the poachers were not from Mil-
but that they belonged to Wooler ; and an Inquiry by
the pdies is being prmiemeted to swertaht who the parties
wars,
and if pmeible, to being than to justice.—Nneroatle
