SWINDLING EXTRAORDIN ARY.
At the Dover Petty Sessions, on Tuesday, a charge
of swindling of somewhat singular character, was
brought before C. B. Wilkins and J. Coleman, Esqs.
The persons charged were William O'Brien Fitzgerald
and Lady Emily Augusta Fitzgerald, his wife, and the
charge was for obtaining 401. from Mr. W. H. Payn,
solicitor, ofDover, under false pretences, they having
stated that Mr. Henry Foster, a barrister, of Furnival'a
Inn, their agent, had 3,0001., and other property belong-
ing to them, in his possession, at the same time there
being no such person in existence. The parties resided
for two years—about 1849.50—at Eythorne, near Dover,
and whilst there became acquained with Mr. Payn. On
leaving Eythorne, where they paid all their debts, they
proceeded to: Pau, in the Basses Pyrenees, where they
occupied a splendid chateau. They got into debt, and
were incarcerated for obtaining credit tider_tssunied_
names, They were fo'n montbrWithont i eta and at
length were sentenced to one year's imprisonment. From
the prison Fitzgerald addressed a long letter to Mr. Payn,
imploring his professional assistance to extricate them,
and stating that their lives would be sacrificed unless
the Court of Appeal reversed the sentence. Mr. Payn
proceeded to Pau ; end after f xnrnining into the truth
of their statements (for which they were fully prepared,
producing their marriage certificate, letters from the
Queen of the French, their passports, &c.), and his
sympathy being excited for their forlorn and miserable
condition, he was induced to pay their debts, amounting
to 4501.; afterwards pleaded their cause before the
Court of Appeal, sad obtained their provisional release
and brought them back to England. Ile then advanced
them 401. to enable them to proceed to the North, to
their friends; and having waited patiently seven months
for proof of their statements, in reference to Mr. Foster,
the barrister, and their honourable relations, and finding
no reference satisfactory, and boring in the meantime
inquired into every ramification of their extraordinary
story, finally resolve d to have them again placed in cus-
tody, for which purpose he proceeded to Barnard
Castle, near which place, in a retired village, called
Worlton, with the assistance of two active police
officers he succeeded in capturing them, and seizing
their papers. They were taken before Archdeacon
Heatll.lm, who sent them under escort to Dover; and
the magistrates remanded them for three weeks to give
time for further inquiries. Lidy E 'lily's parents were

LION HUNTING IA KATTIA WAR.
(From the Overland Telegraph.)
In the burning month of June three of us
left camp at hajkote, and pitched our tents
at Leah, where we found hog very numerous ;
and, notwithstanding the thick jungle, we managed
to make a few porkers bite the dust. The rains
falling dispersed the party, two returning to camp,
when I wended my way northward, and established
myself at Drangdra. On the 19th, while munching
my solitary dinner in the evening, my Puggee came
in, bringing with him a Bhur wan, who informed me
that, while driving his herd homewards, a large lion
sprung on and killed one of his cows.
20th. Rose at daylight, and much against the per-
suasion of the Mahoot, Peer Khan, mounted the
elephant, and proceeding about one mile to the north-
west of the city, the dead cow was pointed out from
a small eminence, and on its remains were feasting a
fine lion and lioness, which walked off on my at-
tempting to go within decent shooting distance of
them; and as the sowars sent after me by the Raja
had missed me in the jungle, the Janwurs were soon
invisible. After several hours pugging, I again
sighted them about 150 yards off making way at a
quick walk; end after a fruitless search we returned
to the tents, having learnt (as the Mahoot bad fore-
told) that the cool of the morning is not the most
favourable time for lion-shooting.
21st. The Puggee came in at 11 raw., and reported
a lion marked down, near the same place we had
found one yesterday. At starting, the day was
threatening, and ere we reached the ground the rain
came down accompanied with a storm of thunder and
lightning. The lion was lying under a large clump
of the Euphorbia Antiquarium, with his head be-
tween his paws ; when the elephant was pushed up
within 10 feet of him, he arose, and at the same mo-
received a ball into his chest. The enraged animal
with a loud roar showed tail, and rocket-like fairly
dived through the enormous mass of Euphorbia
bushes, under which he had been lying, and which
one would have fancied would have proved a stopper
to an elephant. The lion now making an opposition
thunder with his roaring, tail and mane erect, charged
first at one horseman, then at another, until he had
increased the circumference of their circle pretty
considerably, when he took shelter under a bush.
Oa the elephant approaching within 50 yards, down
turnhe came a
bmye and was only induced to
the elephant's trunk. He now lay down under a
ainbagllarlliganhtt throughstyle him, when nearly under
bank, and an unfortunate horseman going up too near,
the lion charged him as if unhurt, and, after a chase
of about 100 yards, making a succession of bounds,
boned the horse, which fell near the elephant, when

when the elephant got within 150
yards of him. On returning we found a fine cub
sucking the nearly dead lioness, and secured it;
wended home in heavy rain. At night shot a male
hyena.
23d. The black lion was reported as seen entering
a nallah of tall reeds at daybreak. These reeds
reached, as we found, over the howdah, on putting
the elephant in ; and we were glad, after capturing
another fine cub in the briar, to get out again, the
elephant sank so deep in the mud. Sent for and pro-
cured about 200 buffaloes (of the Raja's) and turned
them in, and when after hard work they came on the
lion, he wounded one of them on the back, but only
showed himself two far off and entered again, when
heavy rains obliged us to retire.

A MOTHER AND SON CONDEMNED TO DEATH
FOR POIRONING.—At Inverness, on Thursday, before Lord
Cockburn, Sarah Anderson or Frazer, aged 40, and her son,
James Frazer, aged 17, were arraigned for the murder of Wil-
liam Frazer (the husband of one of the prisoners, and father
of the other), by administering poison to him. The deceased
was an innkeeper at Inverness, and was upwards of sixty
years of age. In the course of last September he was sud-
denly taken ill with violent vomiting and purging, and in a
few days died. At the time his death did not excite surprise,
The body was buried as usual, but in a few days certain re-
ports got in circulation as to the deceased's fate. The
body was then disinterred, and the contents of the
stomach being analyzed, it was found that he had
died from arsenic. Inquiries ascertained that the femalehad obtained a quantity of that p tat oison about the period
h i
of the death of the deceased, on the plea d well-
