Mr. Samuel Oldfield, grazier, of Cleatrop, near
Settle, has successfully trieda novel method of bringing up
four lambs, whose mothers arc dead ; three of them may
now be seen sucking a cow, which regularly comes to the
little creatures for that purpose at their feeding time. The
other lamb he is rearing by another ewe. What makes this
circumstance more remarkable is that one of the lambs, being
very small, perches on a stool to enable it to reach its adopted
mother.— The Agriculturist.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

Yesierday a young woman named Elizabeth Marsh, and
a boy named William Hansard, were brought before Mr.
Alderman FAREBROTHER, charged with having unstampcd
newspapers in their possession.
Ellis, the Bow street officer, produced 23 quires of the
Weekly Times, which had been made up in two parcels, to
be sent by coach from the Saracen's Head Inn, and he
stated that the prisoners had been entrapped to take the
parcels separately in cabs which he stopped. He did not
press for any punishment.
Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER told the prisoners they
had put themselves in an awkward situation. Believing they
had been entrapped he should now discharge them, but they
would remember that the same excuse would not serve
them again.
