James Rutherford, all officer of the society, said he was
on duty at the Cattle Market yeAerday. At the " turn
out" of the market he saw the two prisoners following two
donkey; and beating them in a most unmerciful
manner on the back, haunches, and legs. He followed the
prisoners, but before be could get up to them the prisoners Con-
tinue 1 their viobueo and beat them in such a manuer that
they reeled. There was nut the slightest necessity for the
prisoners' cruelty, and the passers-by called out, hut the
prisoners would nut desist. The prisoners beat the donkeys
a dbdaisee of over SOU yards.
in answer to the charge, said he dial not beat
the donkeys at aIL
Mr. Harker—Theo you my the constable is not telling the
truth'

Havenden—Well. 1 only beat it a short distance because
I was in a hurry to get home.
Lundy said he could not deny striking the donkeys several
times. but he was quite cer.ain th it he did sot hurt them.
Ueorge Hasemer. another of the society's constables, said
he saw the two prisoners beating the donkeys most unmerci-
fully. When he took Lundy into custody he asked him

large weals on both the animals.

prisoners following the donkeys and beating them in the
most disgraceful way. Ho had been on duty at the Cattle-
market nearly three years, and this was the very worst case
of beating that had ever come under his notice. The pri-
soners seemed to be beating the poor animals for nothing
but amusement. The sticks which they were using were of
very large size.
The prisoners, who pretended to cry, in a whining tone
said they were very sorry for what they had done, but
Loped the magistrate would deal mercifully with them.
Mr. Barker said the prisoners bad not behaved mercifully
to the poor animals. Such disgraceful acts of cruelty must
be pot a stop to, and he should send the prisoners to the
House of Correction, with hard labour, for 14 days.

THE LATE LORD FORTH.-A SAD STORY.

Rome additional particulare with regent to the
late Lord Forth and the lady with whom be was living and
died, to the.. which appeared at the inipmet. have been
visited. The deceased was born at Naples in lEt4, and in
I 5."..t he was appoioted to se • in the 42nil Regiment,
loch, however, it appear, be left in the following year.
Itep•.rt amens that be weal to the Crimea, and, not relish-
ing the pomp and circumstance of glorious war," or
rather the peril, he spessiily alsaminned the military life
foe other pursuits. la Mb lie married the eldest daughter
of the lion. Adolphus Caput, niece of the Earl of Essex.
The wad eventful history of their marriage life was told,
the viscountess herself being Um narrator, to Sir Creeswell
Cie...meth early in the present year. Lady Forth
pti-
tiooed for • dissolutioa of her marriage oe account of
Lord Forth's adultery, aril for a judicial separation on
account of his cruelty; brit the application was resisted by
the Queen'a Proctor, on the ground of collusion sad the
adultery of the lady herself. It appeared from Lady
Forth's evidence, and that of her mother, that during
three years they lived together, their daily life, from the
day after the marriage, was one of drunkenness sad brutality
as the part of the husband towards his wife, her sister,
brothers, and even his own child, an infant. During the
whole of that time he seems to have contributed not • (st-
ain towards his own maintenance, but was supported by
his wife's father and mother and at lan he became so out-
rageous that they parted company, we believe, in 10430, and
Lady Forth never saw hint afterwards. Softie time after
his departure Lady Forth seems to have formes) en ac-
Livaintance with • Mr. !tering, and to have visited the
mited States with him ; and 00 the ground of this inti-
macy her divorce was upeet
Nor is the history of Mrs. Drummond, or rather Mrs.
Lloyd, the lady who has been living with Lord Forth as
his wife, and who died with him, a whit le mad, if the
statements respecting her which have gained currency are
true. She was the only daughter and heiress of • gentle-
man of property and a magistrate for the county of Here-
ford, residing near Leominster. Whet, about 20 she fell to
the seductive will of a scion of a noble house, and had two
children, who are now living with her father. Subsequently
she appeared to become penitent, and after a time she was
married to • man named Lloyd, by whom it is said she had
two more children.who are now also living with her father.
Lloyd was in debt, and baring married• Wye( property, was
sued by his creditors, and found his way to the Queen's
Reach, where Lord Forth had also fazed a keel habitation
and a name. Mrs. Lloyd visited her husband is the bench,
an intimacy sprang up between her sod Lord Forth. and on
his liberation they jotned company and have lived together
ever Mom.

The remains of Mrs. Lloyd are to be taken to the family
vault for interment. At the inquest the surgeon said her
death was attributable to 'Natural causes, apart from her
recent coufinement. Those "salami causes are said to
have been intemperance. She was at the time of her death
cal, ,4 years of age.
The Earl of Perth. it is said, has directed thso Lord Forth
shall be " &ovally interred" at Gloaoseise.—Brieeili Mer-
cury.
