DANIDEROUS MOOR OP CORRECTION —Patrick Saul,
a stout Hiberiliats, was charged with throwing a lad
named Emmett into a well, with intent to drown him.•
Robert Emmett, the pros color, deposed, that be was
acquainted with the prisoner, and that they both worked
tinder the same master, a gaols tier, at Walham-green.
On NVerlitesday afternoon, as he was crossing one of his
master's fields,. he met the prisoner, who asked him to
fetch half a pint of beer. Ile consented, arid turned
about to execute his errand, when the prisoner seized
him round the !WJISI, and carrying hint to the mouth of
an adjacent well, he plunged him in head foremost. The
well hid seven feet of water in it, and it was with the
utmost difficulty that he saved his life by holding fast by
the sides and climbing up until he reached Ole top.
Patrick, in his defence, said the complainant and
other boys were constantly plaguing hint because he was
the only Irishman among them, and he could get no
peace of his life, The boy Emmett was particularly
active, and was calling out " Arrali, Pa,! which way
does the bull run,' &c. wherever he met him. He had
borne this until the patience of mortal matt could stand
it tio hanger, and so he just took him gently by the
Middle and carried him to the well to give him a small
taste or a ducking: " and when I got him to the brink,
your Honour," continued Patrick, " he made a sudden
spring and rprunted clean out of toy arm into the water,
and the d-1 a bit could I hold him at all."
Mr. Alinshull.—But the least you could do was to
hell) him out, Patrick.
Patrick.—God blest your Honour, and so I would;
but I only just stepped back a yard or two, to keep out
of the splash that he made, and the urchin was oui-upoti
dry land 111 the twinkling of a bed-post ! The d—l a
bet p he wanted, depend upon it.
The patrol who apprehended the prisoner said, that
when he asked him why he adopted such a strange mode
of punishment, his answer was, " Why, you see, I did
not like to take the Jaw into my own lipids and beat
him with a stick, and so I just soused him lino the well
by way of a corder."
The blagistrateoliserved, that he would recommend
tlu: prisoner to try a different method :mother time. ,If
the boy had been drowned, he would have stood its a
very dangerous situation.
Patrick was ordered to find good bail for the' assault.
Ezekiel Lovell, his Iwo sons, Arthur and John, awl
Mansfield Lee, lour of a gang of the tribe called Gipsies,
who have long infested Tottenham, were brought up and
remanded on a charge of stealing asquantity of hay front

ampton-street, Camberwell.

eleven o'clock on "l'itesilay morning, having previously
fastened the house. Site had vet servant and intended
returning at ail early hour in the evening. Upon their
return about seven o'clock in the evening, Mrs. Kahl
was struck with astonishment at seeing a light apiwaring
and disappearing at the windows of her house ; and as
site had never atitliorozod any person to take care of ii
molt r such C.11:10113I'llices, she immediately imagined
the worst that could happen ; but instead of making a
noise that might alarm the thieves, as most oilier fruit:lle:
would have done, she quietly went to sonic of her neigh
boors and cauununicated her suspicions, and proloptl
received their assistance. The% could ree no marks of
violence on the doors oi window shutters, nor could the,

window of the that floor, where several of them entered
without making the leapt noise, and upon walking down
stairs, and opening the front parlour dour, saw to their
great surprise the two prisoners playing a pine of back-
gammon. They were sitting together on a sota, and had
a backgammon table between them. Otte of them in-
instantly started up and said, " We'll make no resist-
ance." They accordingly submitted quietly. Oct ex-
amination it was found that the house had been ransacked
from top to bottom, and some plate that had been tied
up in a small bag was found on the table. In the bag
were several spoons which Mrs. Kahl had kit locked
up in a cupboard. In different parts of the house were
found an extensive assortment of phosphorus and matches.
One of the keys which lay on the table opened the hall
door, just as if it had been made fur it, front which it
was presumed that the thieves had entered at that door.
Several of Mrs. Kahl's neighbours who had come for-
ward to her assistance confirmed the most Inportant parts
of her statetkient.
The Magistrate complimented Mrs. Kahl very highly
ott the prudent manner in which she had acted for ap-
prehending the prisoners. They were both fully come

another being deputed to precede and ring a bell, an-
nouncing " the charge and verdict," which was com-
posed, with great spirit and significance, in octosyllable
verse. As this brilliant procession passed through the
Strand, numbers collected, whose Minas attracted imam

might present him " with fat ours" he was unambitious
of wearing) matte a desperate effort to extricate himself,
which the cords on his asides prevented, and he was
borne to the " :souse where the lady of rank" resided,
(Ruse-street, Long-acre.) Here the sentence was rei-
terated amidst applauding multitudes, and a similar
ordeal observed on his return to the when, wills acct-

and " never cease to wonder."

On Friday evening last (stb instant), about Sin
o'clock, as two yaueg men were walking deism the add
the East Pier, at flamsgate, they observed a beadle w sapped • •1
up
lying beided one srf the roue poets; they took it up sad
unpacked it. when the contents were fv.ud to be * lady's' •
bonnet, Bath cloak, and a shawl, and from their -Dot being
wet with the dew they could not is all probability have
been there long. The extraordinary eireemetasico,was
immediately made known, bet nothing transpired that eves•
ing; the clothes were lodged ia the baud* of Lieutenant
Wood, the harbour master, On the following day public
notices were potted, stating that a led; had left her home
that evening about a quarter before tea es'elock, and bad
nit since been heard of. The dram-wilt serried to the lady's
late residence, tied it being recognised by her husband, these
was too great reason to fear the unforninate lady had thrown
herself into the sea in a state of despondency. Too much
credit cannot be given to Lieutenant Woodward for his truly
laudable zeal and unremitting attentionn iii„seudiag the boats
and crews under his command, to search fur the body, bet
their attempts were fruitless, and nothing was ascertained
respecting it, till about five o'clock in the evening of bliooday
the sth, inst. when the body of the above lady was washed
'abate tan the bathing-seeds, and the intelligence being
eoss-
mpicatrd to the proper quarter, it 101111 ascertained that the
gentleman had left Ramsgate on the same morning to search
of her.
On Wednesday, Mr. John Wood, butter-dealer of
Leeds, and Catherine Walmsley. his niece, a young
WOIIIUII of about 18 years of age, were killed iv the over.
honing of a cart in which they were returning from*
Kliaresborotigh market. Early on ‘Veilnestlay morning
they left Leeds, and after transacting their business at
Kitaresborough, (pitted that place in the evening.—
About tea o'clock at night they were seen at Haiewood,
and two hoots aiterwarals a waggoner. who was travel-
ling from thence to Leeds, observed a cart overturned out
the road, near Alwooilley-gates. His first impression
Was, that the driver of the cart had gone to obtain as-
sistance, but hearing nothing of him he because alarmed.
AO called at a luesse on the road to beg that they would
accompany him to the place where he had seen the cart.
With thus request they readily complied, and on removing
the packages, they beheld with horror Wood and his
niece lying sirs:mord ill the road, and both of thesis
quite dead/. It was the failing of this unfortunate titan
to give way to excessive drinking, and he was doubtless
the victim of his own intemperance. Four veers ago, a
cart which he was driving on the same road was over-
writes', and a young woman, who had thew the tatislim-
tuue to be in his service, was thrown out and killed out
the spot. This Gail catastrophe had made him nervous.
but not temperate; aad it was to allay his fears, rather
than to assist him in his business, that Inssniece accom-
panied him nn his last fatal journey.
On Saturday lest a itielanehaly accident happened be-
tween Chichester and Bognor; as a gentleman and lady,
of theatatne of Fisher, were proceeeing to the a former
place in a gig, the hone took torch', and sell to kicking ;
the lady was thrown out, and receiving a blow from the
horse, was killed on the spot : but the gentleman re-
ceived too material iejtay. The gig was dashed to ieces.

OuStanday mooting last, just before theanumencement
of divine service, at Hendon church, the beadle received
information of a fatal accident, winch cannot be too gene-
' rally made known, as it may be the Means of preventing
a similar occurrence in future. A Mr. Breazer was
found dead in a green-house, belonging to a gentleman
or 1 me at Hendon, and t appeared that the deceased
went into the greenhouse, on Saturday high!, and having .
made a large fire, he fell asleep, and the effluvia arising

A truly heartirentling eitcunistance occurred near the
