brought up on charges of having mead the deaths of two
seamen on those vessels. Several other witless/sashaying been
examined, Mr. Kitties said he bad other eases of cruelty to

A POLICEMAN ATIRMPTINO TO POISON HIM WIFE.
—On Monday last, Policemen Buckle was charged, before
the mayor and a full bench of magistrates, at Middles.
broegh, with attempting to poison his wife. Owing to the
public and the representatives of the prom being excluded
during the examination, few particulars are known. It
appears Mrs. Buckle had been poorly, and her husband
some time ago mixed her • large quantity of laudanum
with gin and peppermint, telling her it would mend her.
She drank a portion of it, end the usual effects followed.
She recovered on that occasion. On Saturday last he told
her that he had got a powder the same am she had hitherto
taken, and would give it her in a little sugar, but
charged her never to say that he g►ve it her. This aroused
the woman's suspicion, and by some means she got the
powder from his pocket and substituted soother (the same
as she had been teeing). She immediately took the powder
to Dr. Dickenson, who discovered it to be a large dose of
strychnine. Buckle was at once apprehended and privately
examined, as above stated, and was remanded till Thursday,
when some very suspicions circumstances were disclosed.
He had obtained the poison at Mr. H. Laudon's, chemist.
Buckle was in the force come three years ago, when he
left and enlisted in the army, and is the same man who
about a year ago leaped from • railway train going at full
speed on the Great Northern Railway between York and
London.— Yorke,/ ire Gazettc. _

Busotrus AOCIDLNT.—On Monday last, at Brid-
lington Quay, a boy, about eight years of age, was attempt-
ing to drown a cat in the sea, and to accomplish his pur-
pose had a stone fastened to one end of • string and the
other end tied round the cat's neck. He threw the stone
into the sea, expecting the at would go with it ; but, in.
steed of doing so, pussy clutched hold of the boy's breast,
and dragged him after her into the as. The the being
well op, and the water deep, the boy would inevitably have
perished hail it not been for the exertions of two toes, who
seeing his condition with some difficulty rescued him from
an untimely death, for he was nearly dead when taken out
al the water.— YorksAire Gazette.
The public park at Bath is now profusely
adorned with statuary and vases.
