Au Iquest was held at the house of Mr. James
Hudson, Ware, upon the body of Thomas Parker, Mr.
Hudson's groom. It appeared from the evidence of Mr.
T. Graveley, of Lhndon, brewer, that he had been out the
previous day with Mr. Hudson on a shooting excursion,
and returned home to Mr. Hudson's house about ten
o'clock, in a chaise. Ile was standing on the step of the
chaise, on witness's side. Witness turned round to speak
to him, when he heard a gun go off. It was very dark.
There were two guns in the chaise. They were placed
between the apron and the dashing iron. One barrel of
Mr. Hudson's gun was loaded. It was a percussion-gun
with a cap on. Witness supposed the man was taking
the gun out, and the cock catching the leather strap,
caused it to explode. Upon a light being procured the
man was found dead in the yard, the shot having per-
forated his chest. Mr. M•Nab, of Ware, surgeon, arrived
in a few minutes after the accident. Deceased was quite
(lead. He had been shot through the lungs, and his
death must have been instantaneous. From the appear_
;trace of the wound he must have been very near the muzzle
of the gun. Verdict—" Accidental Death."—Darifbrd
Reformer.

Saturday Falkirk presented an unusual bustle, from
great numbers of colliers assembling from the surrounding
country, to take into consideration the difference between
themselves and the coal-masters. The meeting took place
on Falkirk Muir, and there could not be fewer than
from 000 to 800 present. The workmen complained
that they, in the first place, had been encouraged by
their employers to strike, under a promise to raise their
wages, in order to raise the price of coal ; they then lent
them money, for which they took bills, in order to enable
them to hold out till the stock in hand was sold off at a
great advance of price ; and that, after the hills were
cleared of coal, the ordinary price for work was refused
them. The colliers refused to work at the prices they
received when the coal was low, now that the masters
had raised the coal, as the custom always had been that
they are paid according as the prices of coal are high
or low. The resolutions ultimately come to were, that if
the masters would reduce the coals to the public to the
old rate, the colliers would commence to work at the
former price ; or they would refer the whole matter to any
of the burgh magistrates who understood the nature of the
work, and the manner that the workmen had from time im-
memorial been remunerated.—Edinburgh _Evening Post.
ACCIDENT IN KINGSTON HAHBOUR.—We men-
tioned in our last number the accident which occurred in
Kingstown harbour on Wednesday last, in consequence of
her Majesty's packet Lucifer running foul of a sloop laden
with oats. It is but justice to state that T. R. Murphy,
Esq., accompanied by the crew of the Rowena yacht, and
George Simpson, Esq., R.Y.S., were the first persons to
render assistance to the injured vessel. The former gen-
tleman, on seeing the occurrence, promptly manned the
boat of the yacht, and, boarding the sloop, succeeded in
slipping her cable and righting her, while all was consterna-
tion on board. The Rowena men having then got a tow-
rope from the crew of the sloop, brought her round, and by
these prompt efforts saved the vessel, which was filling fast,
and her cargo floating out of the hold. The crew of the
harbour boat were not so efficient at the commencement as
they might have been ; but Lieutenant Hutchinson got on
board very soon after the occurrence accompanied by Sir
W. Linar, and never left their posts until the vessel was
placed in safety. The owners of the sloop should feel much
indebted to Mr. Murphy and the crew of the Rowena
for their exertions.—Freenian's Journal.

Great disturbances occurred on Friday and Saturday
in the Rue des Lombards, Paris, a quiet street, principally
occupied by wholesale chemists and druggists. From time
immemorial, the custom bus been there to close the shops
at nine o'clock ; but a new comer, M. commencing
with a bold innovation, last week, gave orders to his medi-
cal assistants to keep open till ten o'clock. This encroach-
ment on their privileges caused a ferment among all the
youthful ministers of Esculapius. Meetings were held,
and M. N-- was threatened, by a letter in doggrel verse,
with unpleasant consequences ; but on Friday, having per-
sisted in his resolution, a gathering of some two hundred
of the medical tyros, augmented by a mob of idlers, as-
sembled before his house. 'rho attack began with groans
and hisses, but at length stones were thrown at the win-
dows, and M. N--, coming forward to appease the ex-
citement, was seriously wounded by the discharge of a phial
of aquafortis. On the police appearing the students dis-
persed and escaped, but warrants have been issued against
the ringlvaden.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Oar. I.
Charles James Faticutt, a young man, described as an
attorney's clerk, was opposed by Mr. CRESWELL, on the
part of an old man, named John Pearce.
The opposing creditor, a poor enfeebled old man, in the
seventy-fifth year of his age, became acquainted with the
insolvent some years ago, by calling at an attorney's office in
Marlborough-street, where he was clerk. He had at the
time 3131. in the Bank, which he had saved for a series of
years. The insolvent asked him to lend him some money,
as he wanted to buy houses in Cloth Fair. He also told
him he had a place in the Custom-house. He got 501.
from him in the first instance, for which he gave him a
bill of exchange. He afterwards got 631. 3s. 4d. more
from him, and gave him other bills. He had obtained no
portion of his debt. He told him he should have a por-
tion of the profits of the houses he intended to buy. The
poor old man wept in detailing his complaint. He said the
insolvent told him many things, and prevaricated in his
stories. He had sold out all the money he had in the
Bank, which he had saved out of his situation in the East
India Company, and now had nothing for his old days but
his pension.

The Learned COMMISSIONER, in an impressive manner,
animadverted on the dishonourable conduct of the insol•
vent, and said the Court would mark their sense of it by ad•
judging the insolvent to 15 calendar months' imprisonment,
for fraudulently contracting his debt.
