--seessisa-
On Wednesday last an inquest was takes by Mr. Toed, at
"ridworth, Hoots, on view of the body of Robert Raker,
gamekeeper to T. A. Smith, Esq. who, early on the morning
of Moodity law, was shot bye gang of Poachers, six or seven ,
of whom were assembled at Ashilowa Coppice, for the pur-
pose of killing pheasants. It appeared by the evidence ad-
duced before the Coruuer, that it was the usual practice
of Mr. Smith'. gamekeepers to keep n look-out for poacher*
daring the fah of the moos ; and that seven of their
bad assembled for
_that purpose at Ashdown Cover, abort
twelse 0 clock on Sunday evening, sod had nut been
there above au hour before they beard the report of
a gnu ; and un proceetliog to the quarter (rum which
it e3MC, they discovered three men standing snider the
wood, sod immediately after two more joined them from
out of the wood: whereupon Baker mud his associates
made up to their, and inquired what they did there:
upon which 1 of the poachers with horrid impreca-
tions threatened to shunt the first man who dared to appre-
hend any of then,. Baler, however, shortly after laid hold
of one of them, wilco a poacher, who had 110 gun, match-
ed one from the baud' of another, sayitig to him" Der
thee, thou Jost nut do thy duty," and presetstiwg it delibe-
. rately at Baker's breat, fired it off, and killed him isistertly.
At this moment another poacher mind his gun at atomiser
keeper, but luckily it missed fire. After heating the keepers
its a most desperate 111.1110 Cf, the poachers decamped, taking
with them a gen belnurieg to one of the keepers, but leairtag
behind them three hats suit two gnus, which, with the very
liberal reward offered by Mr. Smith, will, it is anxiously
hoped and expected, lead to the discovery anti apprehension
of the perpetrators of this most rangoinary business—

DESTRCCTIPR FIRE.


A most alarmist; and destructive fire was discovered on
Saturday moraing last, betweew the hours of twelve sled owe,
is the large and extensive spinning factory, six stones high,
situate at ilughton Bottoms, afar this town, soil occu-
pied by M . Bailey and Llvesey. Such was the sapid
'Negress made by- the devouring flames, that the ratite
valuable machinery, with the whole of the stuck was to.
tally destroyed in the short space of two boors. A mes-
senger wan dispatched 10 MOO'S Mill, to obtain the aid
of the water.engines, but sorb was the rapid destruction
made by the flames, that it was afterwards considered esekss to
bring them a iliiitance of Iwo or three miles. The cause of
this deplorable event (Iss- which Dearly 100 individuals will
be. at least for a ensiriderable time, throve set of employ.
owed) is not exactly ascertained, though it is presumed to
hate. rrisvo Ginn some waste, which caught fire in the after.
noon of the preceding day, not baring been quite esti*.
ituisheil, although to every appearance it had. The Wild-
ing was insured to the amount of 8,7001.—(81ithe.,.

SARAN BON D.

There are deseenclauts of this lady, it is confidently ex-
pected, in England, who will totally supersede the Irish
claintauts fur her wealth, as noticed his oar Paper of Wednes-
day last. Au investigation is now making on behalf of • fli-
ntily iu Mitten" circumstances, the result of which will pro-
lmbly be to establish by conclusive evidence that Sarah Road
was WI, of the many children of a poor man la Norfolk ; that
she left her home when very youug, and was Dever afterwards
heard of, nor corresponded with her family. The singularity('
this circumstance, and the extraordinary account of a Sarah
Bond d)ing so rich, led to inquiry, sod it Is supposed she
was the saute Small Bond; and after abscoadiug, that aim
went into service fur surae time near London, and by degrees
amassed the immense wealth of which she died promised.
William Bond, x brother of Sarah Boad, died having six
children. font. or whom, Elizabeth Thompson, Ann Bond,
Esther Collin, and Taloirha Bond, art loving, and will, with
other nephews anal nieces"( the deceased, a hew her identity
is clearly established, be eutitled, as next of kin, to admini-
stration of her affects.
