A CUNNING ROGUE.—At the county sessions held
about a fortnight ago, Mr. Linton, the governor of the
county gaol, gave evidence that a prisoner named
Samuel Musson, committed on a charge of stealing
candlesticks at Bagthorpo and Annesley, was too ill
to take his trial, and Dr. Massey, the surgeon, ex-
pressed his belief that he was a confirmed idiot, and
would never recover. It appeared that two months
ago he became so ill and helpless that he could not
take food, had to be fed with a spoon, and lifted from
place to place by the attendants. Under these circum-
stances the magistrates allowed him to be removed to
Lis friends on satisfactory bail being given that be should
appear if called upon at the next sessions. He was ac-
c z.lingly taken away in a conveyance. When he had
reached Radford, and the gaolers bad left him, he opened
his eyes and whispered, " Are they gone I" and finding
hat the coast was clear, he speedily recovered, called,)
for his pipe and glass, and began to enjoy himself. Hi
laughed heartily at his own cleverness, and at the man-
ner in which he had imposed upon the surgeon and offi-
cers of the prison. Tidings of his wonderful recovery
soon reached the governor, and an officer was quickly
despatched to see after the man, but Musson having re-
ceived timely notice of the anticipated visit, escaped by
the bac4 way, and has not since been heard of—Notting-
ham. ./nitirnat.
