Mr. GRACE conducted the prosecution.
A labourer, named Yates, stated that he saw the pri-
soner and another man standing on a bridge over the
railway, about two miles from Birmingham, on the
evening of the day in question. The prisoner stooped
down and picked up something of the size of a hat, the
other man did the same, and as strain passed underneath
they threw them over the bridge. The witness heard the
bump, and ran to the spot, shouting, " Halloo, what are
you doing there?" when the prisoner said, "I will tell
you,"' and knocked hiin down with a stick, and ran-
away with his companion. The guard of the Liver-
pool and. London express, train stated that, on the ar-
rival in Birmingham of the train which pissed Darlastone
at the time the prisoner was seen at the bridge, a com-
plaint was made to him of somethin, having been
thrown on the roof of the carriage, and, on an examine--
tion in London, a stone, nearly 3001 b. weight was dis-
covered buried in the tarpaulin on the top
of the seeond
carriage. The prisoner was taken into. custody on the.:
17th of March, in a hovel, at a,coal•pit near :Wolver-
hampton. On being charged with throwing.a stone on
a railway train, he replied, " That is about a month-
ago; I eene have • been, re three weeks."
Thejory convicted him, and he was sentenced to one
yeat'a imprisonment with hard „labour.
It WEIS stated by the counsel for, the prosecution that
offences of this description had become very, numerous.

in; , the Plalreiff'a dog by plaeieg pieces of poisoned meat
inn wood, where the plaintiff' was accotemed to walk
with his doe
s.
The defendant pleaded not,guilth and a special plea
ell9ilog that the wood was the property of Lord Leigh,
!flat the • 'if • there,_ and that the dp-
p kenti was trespsssieg-
Lem:lent pilaced the poisoned ;neat `in the wood . by the
eaninund of Lord Leigh.
Mr. Sergeant Miller and Mr. BittleBton appeared for

defendant.
The plaintiff is 'a breeder and rearer of sporting dogs;;
and the defi.ndant gamekeeper to a Mr. Robins, who has
some preserved in theeinirish of AlleeleY, near Coventry.
Ace iraing to the plaintiff 'a evidence the ,defendant had.
warned him the if he went into the wood in question, as
he had long been in the habit of doing, the defendant
would punish *Aim; but the plaintiff insisted that he had
as much right there as the defendant. However, it ape
neared that on. Saturday, the .28th of February, the
Plaintiff was out with Ilia dogs in the neighbourhood of
this wood, which is situate at Allesley, a ,few nailer
from Coventry. He observed the defendant place some-
thing in the wood, close to a lane .which ran by the
side o' it; and
as he was passing, .a setter bitch, worth I
from 151. to 201., ran to the spot and picked -something
Is-P- In half an hour the dog was seized With spasms
-tuid.thed; and then, upon examining- the place whore
the dog had gone intathe wood, three pieces of-poisoned
sfieep'a paunch Bern ,found.
Upon cresa-examination the plaintiff acknowledged
that he was parift)J to walking in Lord Craven's woods
s 3 Well; as Lerti'Leigh'seaniti that he had been fined and
imprisoned 'for treapessiag after game. He also ad-
tuitee4:ol,,4 the deg whea it died was in a neighbouring
'l'44 field, into which he had sent it to see it he could,
kill a bere.
Mr. IJAYES addressed the jury, contending, that no
reliance could* platie.d,on the evidence of the plaintiff,
ydao was nothing but a poacher, and -toll a most im-
probable story. Was it likely that the defendant, who
wes.,Preeerving the wood for Mr. Robins, would put down
Pe's:ate-Which was as likely to kill the dogs of Mr. Robins-
as those of the plaintiff. ?
;_ The Learned JNDGE, in summing up, observed that.
