Pottce.—From the micros fel .s which have
been tried at the Quarter Sessions of various
counties, it would appear that there are no set of
people more dangerous than those who wider the
character of Inglers or poulterers, travel shout to
the large market towns with geese, eggs, mid 6.11.
The articles they affect to carry are generally stolen,
and those which they conceal, consisting of game
sod household property, become continual excite-
ments to poachers mid thieves of every distription.
Flom the numerous cases which have lately oc-
curred of servants robbing their mastor:, we wider-
stand the Judges have come to a resolution of not
pardoning any who have been convicted of this
crime ; and it may be an act of humanity that this
should be generally known.
