AN ELOPEMENT AND ITS FINALE.—At the
Preston Police-court onWednesday, a young man of
respeatable exterior, named James Rogerson, was placed in
the dock under the following circumstances :—Mr Watson,
_ _

solicitor, who appeared for the prosecution, said that the

•
prisoner had been apprehended under a warrant for stealing
a quantity of wearing apparel belonging to the father of a
girl he had eloped with, and fcr running away from his wife
and children and causing them to be chargable to the
Preston union. He was afraid the first charge could not be
supported, but there could be no doubt as to his being guilty
of the second. The prisoner was formerly a cotton opera-
tive, but had recently been an auctioneer's clerk. William

Shacklady, residing in Peel-street East, Preston, deposed
that on Monday, May 23, he went away from home. He
left his daughter, a girl 19 years old, behind in charge of
the house. When he returned on the Saturday following
he found that his daughter had gone, and she had taken with
her a large quantity of wearing apparel, including dresses,
shawls, scarfs, &c. A melia Shacklady, the girl in question,
was then examined. She appeared quite cool after her
escapade, and neither blushed nor hesitated in giving her
evidence. She said—l am 19 years old. The prisoner
persuaded me to go from home. He took my clothes, and
we went to Barrow,in-Furness. The articles of wearing
apparel produced were bought by my father. Inspector
Withers said he apprehended the prisoner at Barrow on
Saturday evening last. The clothes produced were in a
box in his sleeping room. Mr. Blackhurst, who appeared
for the prosecution—And in her sleeping room too, I sup-
pose ? Mr. Withers—Yes, I suppose so. Miss Shacklady
—No, not in my sleeping room. (A. laugh,) The ma-
gistrates, after considering the case, said they were
afraid the evidence would not warrant them in corn •
miffing the prisoner for felony. Two or three
of. the officers connected with the union were
then examined relative to the charge against the prisoner
of neglecting his wife and children, They proved that
since the prisoner eloped his wife and family had become
chargeable to and had been relieved out of the funds of the
parish. It was also proved that on the day the prisoner
left home with Miss Shacklady he gave a letter to one of
his children, with instructions for the same to be handed
over to its mother. The following is a copy of the epistle :

A TIGER TURNING TAIL !--Juat as daylight was

failing us, and white we Were trill a couple of miles
from camp, I observed a troop of monkeys crowded together
on a tree which overhung a clump of long grass, bounding
from branch to branch in a state of great agitation, scream-
ing, chattering, and making hideous grimaces, as if half
enraged and half terrified at the sight of some object be-
neath them. " What is the matter with these monkeys?"
. _

1 inquired of my guide in Hindostanee. "It is a tiger
probably," he replied, puffing away at his cheroot with
the most perfect coolness, and striding along as if it
were all a matter of course. " The devil it is I" said

I, thunderstruck at the coolness of the young rascal—
for the path we were pursuing being bounded on each aide
by impenetrable jungle, obliged us to pass within a few
yards of the haunted thicket—and cocking both barrels of
my rifle, I stepped out at my best pace to escape from the
dangerous neighbourhood as quickly as possible. We had
just passed the thicket, and were making a short turn round
the end of it ; when, to my utter dismay, I found myself
face to face, and within twenty yards, of a royal tiger,
busily engaged in tearing up the carcass of a wild hog he
had just killed. My hair almost stood on end, as the brute
raised his enormous head, smeared with blood, and glared
upon us with his malignant green eyes. Mohadeen
dropped his cheroot, and remained motionless as a
statue, with his keen eye steadily fixed upon that of the
tiger. I knew enough of the nature of the animal to be
aware that it was more dangerous to retreat than to stand
fast; but thinking that a charge was now inevitable, I was
determined to have "the first word of flyting," as we say in
Scotland, and was about to raise my rifle, when Mohadeen,
without removing his gaze from the tiger, laid his hand
upon my arm, and kept it down with a firm grasp. The
tiger growled and showed his teeth, but unable to with-
stand the fascination of the human eye, he gradually with-
drew the paw, which jealously clutched his prey,
eereui
crouched together, as if appalled by the steady gaze of the
savage, turned slowly round, and utteringy a
sulky
growl, slunk away into the long grass. No sooner

to strike terror to the heart of the most savage animal, and
we instantly heard the stealthy
a bounding gallop, as he fled in dismay from that unearthly
cry. "We have made him eat dirt," remarked the young
savage, coolly picking up his cheroot, replacing it in the
corner of his mouth, and walking off as if nothing remark-
able had happened. We now set off towards camp at a
round trot, for the short twilight of the tropics was lading
rapidly, and my guide, although he affected to despise
tigers by daylight, was perfectly aware they were not to be
trifled with after nightfall. We reached the tents without
further venture ; and I confess I was not a little glad when
we came in sight of our cheerful camp Eres.--CoI. Camp-
