CAPTURE OF AN ABSCONDED ;BANICRUPT.--Mt.
William Wood, the absconded bankrupt, was on Friday taken
by Superintendent Mackay, of
Bristol the Glasgow police, before the
magistrates, where he
Was charged with having ob-
tained, with a fraudulent intention, 5091. worth of palm oil,
the property of Mr. John
nt Wood, merchant, of that
city. It appeared from the depositions that he
purchased the oil upon pretence that he wanted it
tor a friend. lie refused, however, to disclose that
friend's name, saying that he had so much con-
fidence in him that be would make the purchase on his own
credit. lle subsequently sold the oil in London at an average
loss of 5/. per tun. The case excited great interest, the court-
room and streets adjacent were crowded. He was re-
manded for a week. When captured, 7001. was found in
his possession. His luggage has not yet been eyamined.
The prisoner was then removed in custody to the Court of
Bankruptcy for the Bristol district, where he I-inclement a
lengthened examination before Mr. Commissioner Hill, and
the examination was still proceeding when our exress left.
The following particulars of the capture of the runaway are
furnished by the North British e3lail of Thursday last :
" Shortly after the departure of the Glasgow, it was ascer-
tained that Wood had sailed by that ship for the United
States. Immediately on its being known in this City yester-
day morning that the Glasgow had put back by stress of
weather, Captain George Mackay, the active superintendent
of the detective department of police proceeded to Greenock
and boarded the steamer at the Tail of the Bank, and was
fortunate enough to get alongside of the vessel in time to
confront Wood, as he and his family, consisting of his wife
and four children, were preparing to remove themselves and
their luggage. Captain Mackay at once took them in
charge, and brought them to Glasgow, where they arrived
yesterday afternoon, whence, we understand, they will as
soon as possible be removed to Bristol. We have heard it
stated that the liabilities of Wood amounted to a sum of
from 12,0001. to 14,000/. and we have also been informed
that not nearly so many hundreds have been recovered by
the capture of the fugitives."
FACTS FOR SAUSAGE EATERS.—At the Wisbech
sessions, last week, a man named Mark Fryer, a celebrated
manufacturer of saveloys and sausages, was charged with
stealing a pony, Cart, and harness, from a butcher named
eox, at Newton, near Wisbech. In his cross-examination
of the prosecutor, some of the secrets of the saveloy trade
were developed in rather an unfavourable aspect. It ap-
peared that the prisoner and Cox had for some time. carried
un an active trade in supplying the London marl:et with
-what is known in the business as "casualty meat." On one
occasion, a dead cow, which cost them 11., was dressed and
sent up; another, which cost 305., and was "killed to save
its life," ' was forwarded in the same way. The skin was sold
in Wisbech for 10s., and they received from the ]London
sausage manufacturer 31. Bs. 9d. for the meat. A largo num-
ber of bills produced in court showed the extent of the trans-
actions of the firm of Fryer and Cox. After Fryer had
taken away the horse and cart, he settled for about three
weeks at Grimsby, where he carried on a thriving trade in
sausages and saveloys, but having been detected in disin-
terring a dead pig he was compelled to leave, and transferred
his trade to Louth, where he was ministering to the app
tites of his customers at the time of his apprehension. The__s
prisoner addressed the court for half-an-hour, and said his
h,,,
own character and that of the prosecutor boresuc h a
other;
resemblance that they might shake hands with each
" two ,such a pair never met, and they were made for each
other." He was found guilty, and sentenced to four months'
hard labour, the first and last week in solitary confinement.-.-
Stamford Mercury.
During the week ending the 24th of January,
there were 138 births in the Manchester union and 104 deaths.
Of the deaths, there were five from fever, one small-Ks;four
racules, and two scarlatina.
