how long nem,: life may be sustained without food.
Three weeks and throe days since the flock upon a farm
belonging to Mr. Jemee Green was counted, and one lamb
was found to be miming. Search was made. but nowhere
could the lost one be found. Last week a well-digger wee
called in to inspect a dry well some 46feet deep, which bed
been recently dug upon the premises, with • view of sink-

lost lamb was found at the bottom. It had broken its
shoulder, but was otherwise unhurt, and when brought to

Comm's' ClOEFEettions.—At the last Gloucester
Assizes two men were sentenced to 15 years'
,E:
servitudeuich for • daring burglary. Numerous b 'es
had been committed in the county, and the dem
managed to get clear off with their booty. The two men,
Wilson and (Leary, who were convicted and sentenced as
above, have confessed that the want implicated in bur-
glaries not only in Glou but in Worcestershire,
Monmouthshire, Kent, and other !mantis. Wilson
narrates circumstantially the of emend
burglaries, the blows he ph to policemen with a
life preserver, hie intention to shoot' any one
who interfered with him, and the manner in which
the proceeds of the burglaries were taken to London.
The following is the account of one of the burglaries in
which Wilson was implicated :—" On Monday sight,
Nov. 6, 1866, I and • friend (not Geary) *eat to a
jeweller's shop in the &siesta-street, 3e. Gloemestar (Mr.
Neininger's). We got over two or three high walls at the
back, and tried to break into the house, but were dis.
turbed. A policeman had found IA and he followed us
down a lane into the market. We turned to our left, and
he ran up to us and tried to stop us. I heard afterwards
the policeman's name was Tuck. We both had our
life-preservers in our hands, and both struck at kit
at the tams time. My friend struck him and kaosited
him silly, but I missed him. We then turned and made
hack for the railway station. Before we got there we
beard a bores coming very fast I took out my pistol and
into nded to shoot the hone, but we had just time to
jump over a spiked gate before you (Mr. Griffin)
rode up. Had you been sooner, and attempted to Mika
us, I should have shot you. We ran across the line,
got over into some leMa, remained quiet foe sense
time, and then made off for Letibury. We robbed
ajr welter's shop there the same week, and then left the
neighbourhood. Chary was at this time doing penal ser-
vitude."
