(says the Kent Herald) was created at Fredville-park,

ing last, shortly after three o'clock, by a serious encoun-
ter with a number of poachers. Several reports of guns
were heard in the vicinity of the pheasant preserves, and
the head gamekeeper, with his assistants, went to the
spot to ascertain from whom they proceeded, when they
found four poachers. An attempt was immediately made
either to capture them or drive them off the premises,
when the poachers (all strangers) turned on the keepers
with their guns and sticks, and subsequently succeeded
in making their escape, leaving one of their guns behind
them. The head gamekeeper, besides receiving many
serious contusions, had his arm broken. Information
was quickly conveyed to the authorities, but no traces
of the offenders have as yet been obtained.

the Legislature and other gentlemen, in testimony of the
affection and regard entertained by them for Mr. Hume,
and of their admiration of the energy, courage, and per-
severance with which during his long public career he
had laboured for political improvements, and for the re-
moval of disabilities on account of religious differences.
