A CUNNING ROGUE.—At the county sessions held
xt"r. Linton, the governor of the
county gaol, gave evidence
about a fortnight ago, -- that a prisoner named
Samuel Musson, committed on a charge of stealing
candlesticks at Bagthorpe 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.lt appeared that two months
ago he became so ill and .helpless that be 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
his friends on satisfactory bail being given that be should
appear if called upon at the next sessions. He was ac-
cJrdingly 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 1" and finding
that the coast was clear, he speedily recovered, call.9d
for his pipe and glass, and began to enjoy himself. Be,
laughed heartily at his own cleverness, and at the nia?:
ner in which he bad imposed upon the surgeon
recoveryand otft
cers of the prison. Tidings of his wonderful
soon reached the governor, and an officer was ,s
