STEALING AN INFANT.—A young woman, named
Ellen Prescott, was brought up at the New'Bailey on Monday
last, charged with stealing an infant, under the following cir-
cumstances —Mary Roberts, the mother of the infant, which
is only five weeks old, stated, that she came from Chester,
and was at the overseer's office on Friday last', to ask
for relief. While she was there the prisoner came in
and told her they would put her in the New Bailey
if she wanted any relief ; and she would get her a
place, and find some one to nurse the child for her, if she
were willing. Witness assented to this, and went along
with the prisoner to the Crown and Cushion inn, where a
servant was wanted. The mistress was not in, and they then
went to the Flower Pot public house, where they stayed for
two hours, and then went again to the Crown and Cushion.
The prisoner said her mother lived in a yard near the
Crown and Cushion, and she would nurse the child.
The prisoner pointed to the house, and witness went into
the Crown and Cushion, where she got the situation ;
but when she went out, the prisoner, whom she had left
outside with the child and a bundle of clothes, was not
to be found. John Rody, a lodging-house keeper, stated,
that the prisoner lodged with him, and brought the child on
Friday afternoon, saving it was her uncle's, and its mother
was dead, and its father had given her the clothes to pawn, to
provide for it for a time. He thought it was not honestly
come by, and went to her mother's, who lives in Pollard-street,
and who said the prisoner's tale as to its being her aunt's child
was false. Mr. Diggles said the prisoner was found at a
spirit vaults : part of the clothes had been pledged, but some
of them were found upon her. Mr. Maude said it was a
strange story, but the prisoner might be punished for stealing
the clothes. She was committed for trial.—Manchester
Guardian.

A numerous and desperate gang of poachers having
long infested the property of the late Duke of Bridgewater,
measures were taken by his trustees for their apprehension,
and on Sunday morning last, between the hours of two and
three, a gamekeeper, named Peter Berry, with his assistants,
Thomas Sharples, John Mann, and James Harding, being on
the watch for them, suddenly came upon a body of poachers,
numbering thirteen or fourteen, and armed to the teeth. One
of their body, on confronting the keepers, said to his compa-
nions, " Stand your ground, my lads 1" immediately on which
they formed abreast across the cover ; and, upon Berry's ad-
vancing towards the person who thus commanded them, he
again shouted out, " Fire your guns, my lads 1" Before, how-
ever, this order could be obeyed, Berry, who was nobly se.
conded by his companions, rushed upon the speaker, and such
was the terror which this intrepidity of the keepers inspired,
that the poachers, after a short though terrific struggle, fled to
a man. An active pursuit took place, which ended in the cap-
ture of two of the gang, one named William Waterhouse, upon
whom was found a bullet and the key of an air gun, and on
the ground, near the spot where he was taken, the stock of an
air gun. The other man captured is named Robert Taylor.
On Monday morning they were placed before Mr. Maude, at
the New Bailey, Manchester, when, the statement previously
given being sworn to, they were committed to take their trial
at the ensuing assizes. Several nets, bags, dogs, &c., were
taken possession of by the keepers.

In a coal mine in the environs of Charleroy it was
recently found necessary to empty the waters of a new fosse
into an abandoned fosse, by taking away the plug which re-
tained them. As the workmen shrunk fom undertaking so
perilous an operation the director of the coal mine promised a
reward of 6,000 francs to any individual who would accom-
plish it. A needy workmin accepted the offer, and acquitted
himself of his task in the following manner :—He descended
into the fosse with a thick cable passed round his body, and
took:with him four dogs trained for the purpose. On reach-
ing the bottom of the fosse he attached to the plug a cord by
which the dogs were held fast. He then gave a signal that
had been agreed on to his comrades to drag him up from the
fosse, and on ascending rapidly called his dogs. The latter,
by the efforts which they made to follow their master, removed
the plug, antl the water immediately rushed with the greatest
impetuosity into the abandoned fosse. Three -of the dogs
were taken out alive, but the fourth was drowned. The in-
genious workman received the promised reward.—French
Paper.

On Monday morning last, whilst a number of men
were at work in a large field on Cog Fea-m, near Cardiff, a
fine bare made its appearance, pursued by a large dog-fox, and
so intent was the latter upon its prey, that it heeded not the
shouting that ensued to scare him off The hare was fre-
quently turned by her crafty enemy, and her escape seemed
highly problematical; but Sir John Guest's gamekeeper com-
ing up at the time, he decided it is favour of poor puss, by the
unerring aim with which he lodged the contents of his Joe
Manton into her pursuer.—Cambrian.

Letters from Berlin speak of a proposed increase o
the Russian army.

The Duni/Hes Courier, noticing the Municipal
Elections in that town, says—" Generally speaking, on the
present occasion, the election was not regarded with much ex.
citement till the very day of its occurrence ; and where there
w;l9 a contest, it was influenced morn by local interest than by
political principle." This remark, we incline to believe, ap-
plies to more places than one in England, as well as in Scot-
land.
