CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY TO ABDUCT.

Mr. John Carden, of Burnane, is again in trouble.
At Kingstown Poike.ollee yesterday a young and respectably
dressed woman, named Maris Douglas, otherwise Heating,
was plated in the dock to answer an offence set forth in the
following terms in the charge-sheet
" Maria Douglas, for conspiring with John Carden and
others, and endeavouring to accomplish the abduction of a
lady at present residing at Lord Bough's plum, Bt. Helen's
she haring called at the gate lodge and made particular
inquiry relating to the lady in question, and then and thane
hold out a bribe to Lord Gough's gatekeeper, should she
give mistimes Is accomplishing the object sought."
The lady in cordite Is Mies Ellen Arbathaott, whom
attempted abduction by Mr. John Cud= six years ago
most be still is the recollection of the public. Mr. John B.
Walsh, Q.C., sneered for the prosecution; Mr. Rollestoa,
Q.C., far Mr. Carden ; end Mr. Curran for the prisoner.
Mr. Walsh called epos the magistrate to take neoplasms .
both from the women and Mr. Ceram to hssp Mr pie
towards Mir Arbutlmott. After a lengthsesd discoasks
between emcee* the tossistrete reed the worn Wormed=
.sagnes Mibutimea de mike; seer rsemeleg to ths om
arsmr timmoai pemecntion by Mr. Carden In 1862, and
hie subsequent conviction and imprisonment, she deposed as
follows :

"After the expiration of this imprisonment, the name John
Carden recommenced the same system of annoyance towards
ma inomeautly, following my movements wherever I went,
insoutnolt that I could not visit even the private residences of
my friends without hie locating himself immediately in the
neighboorheod, and obtruding himself on me when walking
or riding. Ha did not, however, on these occasions, venture to
addressees, or write tome or my friends, tuitillatar,when I wen
on a visit at Eldireley, in the county of Surrey ; but while I
was them, as I snas riding one day in company with my
brother, William Arbuthnot; Mr. Carden suddenly rode up
from behind end commenced addressing me in an excited
manner by name. My brother thereupon interfered, and
compelled Mr. Carden to retire. On the same evening Mr.
Carden wrote a most insulting letter on the 'abject of this
meeting to my brother William. Just at the same time Mr.
Carden addressed a letter to Mrs. Arbuthnot; my sister-in-
law, residing at Cowarth, asst Staines, with the object of
procuring au interview to prase his suit with me. The letter
was, however, returned to Mr. Carden, who, however, for-
warded it again, with an additional one, to which I also
refer, marked with the letter C. I further say that It was
my intention to reside thusly with my brother-in-law, the
aforesaid lion. George Gough, of Loughoooter, in the
county of Galway, which is in a lonely and re-
tired part of the country ; and I have been credi-
bly informed that the said John Carden within a
short time said that I was returning to the neigh-
bourhood of Clonmel, where I should be surrounded by
friends, and he bad no chance, but that when I should be at
Loughoooter be would have good opportunities of carrying
out his views. I have recently bean informed a woman
employed by him has been arrested, sad from his previoaa
conduct towards me, and his objects with regard to me, after
he was well swore' notwithstanding his preteens to the
contrary, that I will never consent to me or have any Inter-
course whatever with him, I swear that I am apprehensive
that he will, should masks offer, again commit writes
violence to me, and that I am in danger from him, and that
I positively sweet that I entertain the greatest aversion to
the said John Carden, and I have never given any encou-
ragement to justify his addresses to me, either directly or
indireestly."
Alter a lengthened argument, Mr. Porter, the magistrate,
said there could be no quation with regard to the merits of
the cue, but he wished to take time to consider the question
as to the extent of his jurisdiction. He proposed, therefore,
to postpone the farther bearing of the case until Wednes-
I day'

Mr. Carden applied that the ease should be adjourned
until Monday, on the ground that a brother of Miss
Arbuthnott and his wife, who were now staying at Bataan',
were material witnesses on his behalf, and they could not
attend before that date.

Mr. Walehe said that the brother referred to was in exile
from his family and a pensioner of Mr. Carden's.
The eas• we. that adjourned until Monday next. Sub-
sequently, upon entering upon her own noognisanoes to
appear when celled an, Maria Keating we. discharged from
custody.

FATAL AFFRAY WITH A 041IIIKEEPER AT
PEWARK.-EXTRAORDINARY CAB 3.

On Saturday afternoon last, about five o'clock,
much excitemsut was Produced in Newark by the report that
a labourer, named Charles Braithwaite, had been shot dead
by Georp Wesley, an under keeper, in the employ of
James Thorpe, Esq., of Besconfteld Rome, near that tows.
It appear* that the keeper was walking up Cliffs Book-
ies., whoa be set the deceased, carrying a gnu , which be
required him to give up. The deceased refused, and a fearful
73= sesued, both falling into a ditch five feet deep,
afterwards the keeper called to • man who was
passing, and said, " roar Braithwaite has shot himself;"
after which the keeper wont for easiststwe. The gnu stock
was brakes fats several piece., and the barrel, ao wall so
the clothes of the keeper, was covered with blood. During
the evening the keeper pee himself into custody ; sad, as
Monday an inquest was opened before the Borough Coroner,
it the Newark Arms Inn, where the body of the deceased
was taken. The above teas were stated by the accused,
who added that during the straggle the deceased struck
him on the month, when the gun went cif and shot
the deceased; but he could not account for its being so
mush injured. The meson, who had examined the deceased,
stated that the head and body were very much bruised; but
that the actual canoe of death was the gun shot wound .
' After sitting seven hours, the jury &downed to this day
(Thursday), when it is expected that furthtr evidence of an
homiest mean will be produced.
The smilmmut is the neighbourhood which each an event
is in malt oalculated to create, has been increased by the
proceedings of the county magistrate' in di&rent game cases
which have recently been breeght before them. The de-
ceased was shot through the heart, but he also had • very
serious wound on the head, end the tatter, in the opinion
of maay morons who have sees it, is such es would
be likely to hen canted death if no other injury had
bees sustained. It is also very singular that the stock of
the gin should have been broken into pieces, tampering the
deceased shot himself, sad that the merlons figments of it
sad the eon barrel wen found at &Mamas of several ends
from each other. The spot wham the sunsets nee was
just wheels the boundary of the borough of Newark; so that,
amok to the eatiefeselos of the inhabitasea, the juddaial
inquiry seal sot be held before the county magistrate.. We
may add, that the lase be a politic highway, seed that the
keeper, therefore, lad sot the slightest right to deemed tbe
gas from the deceased while be was paring along ids
