LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 6.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
IN RE G. DUPLACE.
This bankrupt, a tea dealer, of Regent's-place,
Westminster, came up to pass his last examination,
which was adjourned for further inquiry. The debts
are about 9001. and assets 5001.
IN RE lIOEACE W. METETARD.
This insolvent, who was a barrister-at-law, but
now a prisoner in the county gaol of Stafford, applied
for his discharge from custody and interim order.
It appeared by the schedule that there were no less
than seventy creditors, being principally railway
companies and solicitors. His debts and liabilities
amount to 76,524/. 155., including a liability of
1,9601. to John Owen, solicitor, for profe-sional
charges. He (insolvent) was liable for this as pro-
prietor and director of the Burton-upon-Trent, Staf-
ford, Shrewsbury, and Newton Railway, being a
provisional committeeman, together with several
baronets, honourables, colonels, majors, and reverend
gentlemen. Sir John Rennie and Mr. Remington
were also creditors for 5,179/. To meet this amount
of debts the assets amounted to 1,423/., stated to be
due by solicitors to railway schemes. His receipts
for the last six months amounted to 5531., including
a sum of 251. as the produce of the sale of fifty
Madrid and Valencia Railway shares.
No opposition was offered, and the interim order
and discharge were granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSIO.N-HO USE.
George Haywood and William Alexander, were
brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of
Daniel Forrester, the officer, charged with having
forged cheques upon banking-houses.
Messrs. Bush and Mullens, the solicitors to the
Committee of Bankers for Protection against Forgery
and Frauds, attended for the prosecution.
The prisoners are very young men. The case
which most particularly involved the prisoners as con-
federates was the following :
Mr. William Thomas, cashier at Glyn and Co.'s
banking-house, stated that Mr. John Fenton, of
Fenchurch-street, wine merchant, kept a cash account
at the house. Upon reference to the book witness
found that on the 19th of June he paid a cheque, of
which the following is a copy :
" To Messrs. Glyn and Co.
"Pay Beresford and Co. 1471.
"JOHN FENTON."
He paid it to a youth, but could not recognise him.
Mr. Fenton, wine merchant, of Mark-lane, Fen=
church-street, said that the cheque was not his, nor
authorised by him. He had produced a letter which
he bad received, signed Charles Smith, No. 7, Worm-
wood-street, on the 15th of June, requesting to be
informed at what time the Henrietta arrived from
Madeira. He wrote an answer to that letter directed
to Wormwood-street. He did not know any of the
prisoners.
Thomas Crafford, the keeper of the coffee-house,
No. 7, Wormwood-street, stated that he knew Hay-
wood about twelve months, as a customer. About
May last, as he believed, a letter directed to Charles
Smith was left at his house. A few days previously
Haywood asked him to allow a letter to be addressed
to him at the house, and mentioned the name of
Charles Smith, from which circumstance witness
believed that to be the name of his customer. Per-
mission was given, and the letter accordingly arrived,
and was received by Haywood.
Mrs. Susannah L. Herbert, the wife of a tailor in
Boswell court, Devonshire-street. Queen-square,
stated that in July last, she wished to let the shop.
The prisoner, Alexander, called twice upon the sub-
ject, agreed to take the shop, and to leave 81. as a
deposit He produced a 501. note, which her hus-
band got changed by a Mrs. Coburn, of New North-
street, Red Lion-square, and she gave the change to
Alexander. Witness identified her name on the 501.
note which was produced.
Mrs. Coburn also identified the note, her husband
having written his name upon it. After the change
had been given, her husband went over to Herbert's
house, where Alexander was, and asked for his
address, and he wrote the following upon a piece of
paper :—" W. Hammond, 6, Baldwin-street, City-
road." Witness gave the address afterwards to
Daniel Forrester.
Mr. Binh said the note alluded to was paid for the
cheque purporting to be Mr. Fenton's.
Mr. R. J. Sykes, clerk in the issue department of
the Bank of England, stated that on the 19th June
he changed the 501. note, numbered 84,837, and dated
6th Jan. 1847, for fifty sovereigns, for a youth, at
about five o'clock. It was the last payment he made
that day.
Mr. James P. Melbourne, cashier at Messrs. Glyn
and Co.'s banking house, stated that he gave the
cheque-book produced to a person who came with a
written order, purporting to come fr ,m Mr. Fenton.
The cheque produced (the forgery) was taken out of
that book. The ord, r was, he believed, destroyed.
Here the witness said, the youth who called with
the order for the cheque-book was very like a boy
named John Constable, alio was pointed out to him
in the justice-room, and who was supposed to be in
some measure connected with the transaction. Con-
stable was call boy at the Pavilion t'heatre.
The witness added that the boy said, upon apply-
ing for the cheque-book, that he came from Mr. Fen-
ton's clerk, whom he had seen twice on that day.
The LORD MAYOR—Can you swear that he is the
boy
Witness—He is very similar, but I cannot swear
that he is the person.
King, a metropolitan constable, stated, that on the
miming of the 16th July he found the cheque-
book alluded to by the last v.itness in the middle of
Crispin-street, Spitalfields, at about a quarter to two
in the morning.
Mr. Bush-1 will call Daniel Forrester to show
who the boy Constable is.
Daniel Forrester said he apprehended Haywood in
conpany with Constable, whom he knew to be call-
boy at the Pavilion Theatre. He bad seen them
constantly walking and talking together for some
time.
Mr. Bush said it was his intention to put Constable
either in the witness-box to state what he knew
about the transaction, or at the bar, to answer as a
particeps
After some consultation, it was determined that
Constable should be placed at the bar.
Thomas Capes, the son of a sadler, in Whitecbapel-
road, said he knew Constable quite well for about
two years and a half. Lately he had been call-boy
at the Pavilion Theatre. Had seen the call-boy and
Haywood together day after day, and night after
night, and he had frequently seen the three of them
together. In the presence of Alexander, witness
made use of Forrester's name, and Heywood called
upon him on the same night, and expressed some
apprehensions with regard to that officer, at the same
time intimating that witness had had some communi-
cation with Forrester relative to himself. When the
witness denied that he had seen the officer, Haywood
said to him, "If the question is put to you whether
you have seen me with a gold watch and chain, and a
large sum of money, be sure you say no. Say you
have only seen me with a few shillings." Haywood
also said that he was in a mess, and he did not know
how to get out of it ; and when witness asked him
what it was about, declared that he would rather be
asked for Si. than tell. Alexander then came up and
spoke to Haywood, and they went away together,
and as they were going, Haywood said to witness,
44
Be sure and don't say a word, or I'll be lost for
ever."

Daniel Forrester then produced a piece of brown
blotting. piper in evidence. It was considered to he a
very singular doniment in a case of forgery. The officer
said, that upon g 'log to Haywood's lodgings he exa-
mined the papers of that prisoner. He found amongst
them a piece of blotting-paper, which, upon examin-
ing closely, he found to contain the " blot" of the name
or " John Fenton," corresponding with the forged
name upon the cheque.
The prisoners Haywood and Alexander were or-
clef ed to he brought up again on Wednesday week.
The security tit the father of Constable, the call-
boy, was taken for the appearance of that individual on
the next day of examination, Mr. Bush having
strongly urged the necessity of the boy's presence on
the occasion.
The other case of forgery referred to Hay wooil
alone as far as the evidence went.
The charge was that Haywood had forged a cheque
ter 891. 4s. upon the banking-house of Jones Loyd
arid Co., purporting to be diawn by Thomas and
James Murray.
Mr. John Hale, cashier in the banking-house, said
that on the 22(1 of March he paid the cheque pro-
duced in a note for 501., No. 54,509, dated Bth Oc-
tober, 184 G, and the remainder in cash.—[Here the
witness mentioned some particulars about the cheque.]
atfention was afterwards called to a memorau-
d ro relating to a new cheque-book, which appeared
to he an application from Mr. T. H. Peile a customer
of the house, fora new cheque-book, which was ac-
cordingly_ acceded to.
Mr. J. Tewsley, also a cashier at Jones Loyd and
Co 's banking-house,
to the
produced the register of the
cheque- books distributed customers of the
house. Mr. T. Pelle kept cash at the house. On
the 20th of March witness received an order for a
cheque-book for Mr. Pelle, which was accordingly
given, and the forged cheque for 891. 4s. was
the numbers of the cheques in that book. one
of
Mr. J. Murray, of the firm of T. and J. Murray,
of Copthall-court, merchants, stated that on and pre-
viously to last March, they kept cash at Jones Loyd's
banking-house. The signature to the cheque was
neither witness's nor his brother's, nor authorised by
either of them, and they never applied fur a cheque-
book in the name of Mr. Peile.
Mr. T. Kennion, clerk to Messrs. Pattison and Son,
solicitors., Old Broadeistreet, stated that in March last
liglYWoW WAS in tba urvi,:o of 1143,:b gsziz.w

Haywood's handwriting, and believed the figures and
date in the cheque to be the prisoner's. Mr. Pattison
and Mr. Peile were formerly partners, and Haywood
might have had access to papers in which the signa-
ture of Mr. Peile appeared.
Other witnesses spoke to the resemblance between
Haywood's figures and the figures in the cheque. The
forgery of Mr. Peile's name was proved.
Thomas Capes said he knew Haywood well for the
last four or five months. About April he saw an ad-
vertisement by the prisoner, relating to a partnership,
about 401. or 601. was required by him. In June the
prisoner and witness went to the Isle of Wight. The
prisoner then had about 701. in his po,.session, which,
he said, had been given to him by his grandfather,
and he spent about 101. of it upon that occasion, hav-
ing paid partly for the witness. Witness had seen
him write about three times, and firmly believed that
the writing in the cheque and memorandum was the
prisoner's, and also that the writing upon the 501.
note was the prisoner's.
The case was then remanded to Wednesday week,
when it will undergo investigation after the case so
fully detailed.

assaulted the complainant. If he could show no suffi-
cient justification then he must be cornmitte.d to take
his trial at the sessions. He could not be permitted
to make a statement which might be false against the
complainant, and which had nothing whatever to do
with the assault.
The defendant had no defence to make.
Mr. BINGHAM said, under the circumstances of the
charge, he should call on the defendant to put in what
might be called heavy bail for a person in his station.
He should require him to find two sureties for his ap-
pearance in 1001. each, and himself in 2001.
The defendant is the same person who was conspi-
cuous in a recent case in which Mr. Protheroe, M.P.,
was concerned

the boards into the court, the air was tainted all over

the neighbourhood, and the locality was as offensive
to the eye as it was to the smell. Some of the filth

had begi=n removed since the service of the summons

on Friday; hut the nuisance was still so great that
it was pre-judicial to the public health; and he would
put in two certificates from Mr. Anningson and Mr.
Liddle, two qualified medical practitioners, to that
effect. Under those circumstances, the trustees had
directed him to ask for an order to compel the
defendant to abate the nuisance, to cleanse the
place, and to purify it by lime washing. Mr.
Smith added, that Mr. Baker, the Coroner for M.d,
dlesex, had made very strong representations relating
to the evil, in consequence of the numerous inquests
he had held on persons who had died of fever in the
vicinity.

Mr. YARDLEY said he knew that Mr. Baker had
tno- t properly interfered in the case, and expressed an
opinion, that if he (the Magistrate) merely ordered
the cesspool to be cleansed, purified, and whitewashed,
according to the terms of a clause in the Act, that
would not effect the object sought for. He might
order the removal or abatement of the nuisance.

Mr. Smith said a new place ought to be erected
and properly covered over. The cr.vners of the tene-
tnents had the opportunity of communicating with
the common sewer, which is only a few yards from
the cesspool.
The detendant—That shall be done, air.

Mr. YARDLEY-If you don't do it you will sub-
ject
yourself to an immense expense, for the parish
officers can call upon me for an order every week, and
you will have to pay the costs.
The medical certificates, describing the nuisance
to be very prejudicial to the public' health, having
been put in,
Mr. John Liddle, surgeon, and one of the medical
officers of the Whitechapel Unic', said the locality of
Hayes-court was densely populated by the poorer
classes, and the smell from the foul cesspool was highly
offensive that morning, and detrimental to the health
of the neighbourhood. He had attended several fever
patients in the court, and the deaths had been nume-
rous. '1 he foul cesspool was close to one of the
houses in Hayes-court, and the staircase formed a
shaft to direct the effluvia into the rooms up stairs.
Nothing short of the entire removal of the cesspool
would ever cure the evil.
The defendant said the house mentioned by Mr.
'Addle did not belong to him.
Mr. YARDLEY said that was an additional reason
why the abominable nuisance should be removed.
The defendant said, the cesspool belonging to him
was not the sole cause of the fever and deaths in the
neighbourhood.
Mr. Smith said, there were others adjoining, but

they were in comparatively a decent state-.
The defendant said, when a drain was made to
communicate with the sewers, there would be no fur-

ther cause of complaint.
Mr. Liddle--Providing there is plenty of water to
carry off the soil. There should be waterclosets pro-
perly fitted up in every house, with water tanks over
them. The expense is very trifling, and the advan-
tages great.
Mr. YARDLEY—I must prevent a ..recurrence of
such a dreadful :state of things. I shall make an
order for the cleansing of the cesspool ; and, if it is
not done immediately, it will be effected by the
parish, at the defendant's expense, and I shall then
make an order for its removal altogether.
The defendant asked if he was to suffer for the
other owners ?
Mr. YARDLEY—Each of you are liable under the
Act of Parliament. I recommend you all to join
and pay the expenses among you. If you do not,
the parish officers may take out a summons, and in-
clude every owner in it.
Sandy Smith, aged 19, rated as an ordinary seaman
on board the Lady Flora, East Indiaman, iust ar-
rived from the East Indies, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with feloniously wounding XVilliam
Ewart, able seaman, with.intent to do him grievous
bodily harm.
The prosecutor, a tall, able seaman, who, in con-
sequence of great loss of blood, was in an exceed-
ingly weak state, deposed that on Saturday night,
after landing troops, the ship was moored off Graves-
end, and he turned into his hammock and .soon fell
asleep. He was roused up by a great noise in the
forecastle, and found it was caused by the prisoner,
who was making a disturbance. lie told him to be
quiet, and he refused to do so. Witness got out of
his hammock, slapped the prisoner's face, and hove
him down on his chest. The prisoner got up again,
and made more noise than ever, and acted like a
madman. He gave him another ;lap on the side of
the head, and hove him on his chest a second time,
and begged of him to be quiet. The prisoner got
up, made a butt at him with his head, which he
forced into his chest, and at the same time stabbed
witness in the groin. He felt the blood running
down his legs, and he called out to the crew to put
the prisoner in irons.
Mr. Hurst, a Custom-house officer, was on the deck
of the Lady Flora on Saturday night, and heard a
disturbance below. He was informed a man was
stabbed, and he went below and took a large clasp
knife, suspended to a piece of string from the pri-
soner. There .vas blood upon it and it was warm.
The knife is a formidable weapon, the blade of
which was stained with blood to the depth of two
' inches.
The MAGISTRATE asked if all the crew wore such
knives, and he was answered in the affirmative. They
wore them constantly while at work.
Mr. William Baits; urgeon of Brunswick-street, '
Poplar, stated that he was first called upon to see the
prosecutor on Sunday morning. The wound, which
had been already dressed, was an inch and half in
length, and inflicted in a very dangerous place. Its
depth he could not ascertain. It might prove very
serious. The haemorrhage had been very great.
The prisoner, who is a mild looking young man,
a native of Scotland, seemed to be much cast down.
He said he really did not know what he was about.
Mr. YARDLEY—This is a very bad case. I must
send you for trial to Maidstone for felonious stabbing
your shipmate.
Joseph Painter, late carman to Mr. Lewis Woolf,
wholestOe potter, igh-street, Wapping, was brought
up on remand, charged with embezzling various sums
of money he had received for and account of his
master.
The prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Woolf
for thirteen years, and during that time he had for-
given hi:n no fewer than eighteen times. On Tues-
day, the 24th of August, Mr. Woolf sent the prisoner
Out with his horse and cart with goods for three dif-
ferent customers. The prisoner never returned, but, four
days afterwards, Mr. Woolf received from him a
Post-office order for 21. A police-constable, named
?otter, 212 IC, was then employed to apprehend the
prisoner, and he traced him from Rochester, where he
posted the letter, to Strood fair, thence to Gravesend,
and afterwards to London, where he took him into
custody.
Three tradesmen, named Conway, Elliott, and
Martin deposed to paying over to the prisoner the
respective sums of 51. 3s. Bd., 41. 195., and 21., on the
24th and 25th of August.
The prisoner had nut accounted to his master for
either of these sums, as he ought to have done, and,
with the exception of 2/. sent from Rochester, and 1/.
paid by the prisoner's wife, he had squandered the
rest away.
Mr. YARDLEY committed. the prisoner for trial.

EXPLOSION AT NEWARK.
.NE WA lIK, Moe nee-.
On Saturday last an inquest was held in this
borouo, by Mr. Burnaby, coroner, on the belies of
George Fox, Timothy Hervey, and Willi em Otter,
who died on the preceding day, in consequence of
injuries received from an explosion which took place
at Mr. Hervey's steam corn-mill on Thursday.
William Marriott, of Newark-upon-Trent, said—
I am in the employ of Mr. James Hervey, who has
lately been erecting a steam-mill at his wind mill at
the Spitals, in this town. Thursday last, the 2,1 of
September, was the first day of the Lew engine being
tried tor grinding. Two men, in the employ of the
engineere, Messrs. Carter mid harton, ef Gains-
borough, came to see the engine tried; also the de-
ceased l'itnothy Hervey, a nephew of Mr. James
Hervey. About three o'clock in the afternoen
Thursdev the two men, a hese names were W. Otter
and G. l'ox, were with the deceased Hervey in the
engine-house getting something to eat; the engine
was not then working, it had been stopped a sew
minutes. I and my mister had just lel the engine-
house, arid I was standing near the fireplace outside,
as was Mr. Wharton. lle was trying what pressure
of steam there was on, and I was asking him whether
there was enough to grind the stones, and he sail
" No." The index was at 25, when suddenly I heard
a noise like a cannon and a quantity of steam came
out of the fireplace. I could scarcely see for steam.
The door of the engine-house, which opens from the
outside, was forced to by the steam, and it was made
fast by the giving way of the brickwork, and shut the
deceased Hervey, Otter, and Fox in the engine-
house. In two or three minutes the door was burst
open, and they were got out. They were all then
alive and sensible, but most dreadfully scalded. I
helped to carry Hervey to my master's house. He
said to me, " I shall die ; my inside is scalded." Tbe
engine had been working in grinding corn on Thurs-
day for a about an hour before the accident happened,
and hail been at about the same degree of pressure
that it was when the accident happened. It was an
engine of 10• horse power. About twenty minutes
before the accident happened I saw one of the de-
ceased trying the water taps, and he said all was
right. The boiler door was shut at the time.
James Hervey, of Newark-upon-Treat, said—l
have lately been erecting a steam-engine at my wind-
mill, at the Spitals, in this town. The engine was
furnished by Messrs. Carter and Wharton, of Gains-
borough. It was to be of 10-horse power. I had
told them that I wanted to work two pair of stones
and a machine. The price was to be 3001., including
the making of the engine-house, and they were to
keep it in order fur a twelvemonth. We commenced
working the engine for the purposes of the mill, with
one pair of stones, on Thursday last. Messrs. Carter
and Wharton, with two of their men, were at the ee-
gine all the day whilst it was working. I went down
to the mill about two o'clock, and found Messrs.
Carter and Wharton and their two men, with my
nephew, there. The engine was then at work, and
the mill grinding. I heard a remark that there was
something wrong with the pump, and the engine
was stopped. At this time the three deceased,
Messrs. Carter and Wharton, and myself were in
the engine-house. The two men of Messrs. Carter
and Wharton were takine some refreshment, and my
nephew was looking on. I and Messrs. Carter and
Wharton came out and steed near the fire-place out-
side. The engine-house door was wile open. I age
looking at the boiler, and whilst I was looking it
seemed to rue that the front of the boiler gave way.
I was just pointing out to 'Messrs. Carter and IN-har-
ton that I thought seinethieg was g.ing wrong, and
an explo-ion instantly took place. I heard the door
of the engine-house !sang to, and after some difficulty
it was forced open, and one of the men •an out. I saw
my nephew brought out. They all seems das it they
lied been in boiling water, and were dreadfully
scalded ; they were alive and sensible. My nephew
was taken to my house, and lived until about five
the billowing morning, when he died.
Jo,eph Hughes, of the town of NottinOarn. engi.
neer, said yesterday afterneon carefully examined
the steam-engine and boiler at the mill of Mr. Jaques
Hervey, in this town. I leive had considerable ex-
perience fur many years in the making and working
of stea n • engines. 1 found a fracture thirteen inches
long and two inches wide in the flue. The flue-
plates were collapsed from end to end. There were
several other small fractures, ull caused by the
g ving way or one plate. The fracture was long
enough to cause a very large escape of steam. The
plate which gave way was defective in the material
of which it was composed. The external appearance
of the plate is very good, but by the fracture it is
now plainly to be seen that the material is bad.
There are very few instances of engineers making
their own plates; it is generally a distinct business.
It would be almost impossible to detect a defective
plate, except by proving the boiler, which is seldom
done by engineers. I have not measured the boiler,
but from the appearance I should think it is large
enough for an engine of 10 horse power. I have no
doubt whatever that the accident was caused by the
giving way of the plate in question. If the plate in
question had been good, I should not have hesitated
to have worked the engine from 401 b. to 451 b. to the
inch. 1 don't think that the accident happened from
under supply of water ; if that had been the case the
plate would have been discoloured, which is nut the
case.

John Bullock, of Costock, in the county of Not-
tingham, steam-boiler manufacturer, said—l have
examined the boiler of the engine of Mr. J. Hervey's
mill, in this town. I found a fracture in the plate
farthest from the fire. It was fractured very short ;
the material was bad and defective. There is nothing
in the external appearance of the plate which would
make me suppose it to be defective. After examining the
plate it seems to me there must have been a greater
pressure than 251 b. at the time the explosion took
place. I think the boiler ought to have been able to
have borne the pressure of 501 b., but the plate in
question would not have borne such a pressure. The
manufacture of steam-boilers is generally a distinct
business from that of the manufacture of steam-
engines. I always test my boilers before they are
used; but I think a--great .many manufacturers do
not. I think the defective plate in this boiler would
have been discovered had it been tested, but not at
the pressure of 2510. I saw nothing wrong. in the
manufacture of the boiler itself, and it would have
been very difficult for the manufacturer of the boiler
to have discovered the detici,ncy of the plate in
question. The giving way of the plate would in-
stantly cause the flue to collapse.'
Henry Wharton, of G iin,borough, steam-engine
manufacturer, was examined, and deposed to supply-
ing the steam-engine to Mr. Hervey. He was super-
intending the erection at the time the accident hap-
pened. lie does not manufacture his own boilers,
and he Lad the boiler in question of Messrs. Smith
and Sons, of G•iinsborough ; he had had many boilers
of them, and never found a ile.ective ore before. Ile
had ob,erved the ii.dex and it was at '25 just before
the accident happened. lie then described the cir-
cumstances at the moment of tee explosion in terms
similar to the first witness.
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a
verdict of " Accidental death," but recommended the
parties erecting engine-houses t,) have the door to
open from the outside, so that in case of an accident
the door may blow open, and not shut to in the in-
side, as it did in this case.
The bodies of Gorge Fox and Timothy- Hervey
were interred in Newark ChurA burial-ground on
Sunday morning, at half-past 10 o'clock, in the pre-
sence of hundreds of spectators. Fox resided in Not-
tingham, and has left a wife and seven children, all
unprovided for. Otter was a young man 19 years of
age, and came from Oxton, to which place his remains
were removed on Saturday night. Hervey was a
boy, only 121 years of age. Messrs. Carter and
Wharton paid all the expenses of the funerals of the
sufferers. Fox and Otter only survived 12 hours after
the accident ; they died in the hospital at Newark.

DARING HIGHWAY BOBBERY.-011 Sunday morn-
ing, Police-sergeant Bevan; 'l' 3, while patrolling near
Southall, on the Uxbridge-road, heard meaning cries
proceed from a field at the side of the high road, and on
proceeding to the spot he discovered, by the light of his
lantern, a man in a state of entire nudity, lying in the
grass, with a handkerchief tied across his mouth, his
arms tied behind him by a neckerchief, and his legs tied
together by a pair of braces, so that he could nut move
hand or foot. Upon being liberated, the unfortunate
man stated that his name was John James Fussbender,
a German, living in Osborn-street, Whitechapel; that
on -the previous evening he overtook three Irishmen,
with whom he entered into company. They walked to-
gether until they arrived near the field, when suddenly
ho was dragged into the field in which he was found,
where his assailants, having rubbed him of seventeen
sovereigns and a watch, prt ceeded to dispossess him of
his clothes. The villains then secured his arms behind
him with a piece of ccrd, and used his braces as a liga-
ture to tauten his legs together, when they turned him
over on his face; and walked off, taking with them a
carpet bag which he had with him, containing apparel
and tools. The poor fellow when discovered was half
dead with cold, having., as he believed, lain in that -tats
upwards of an hour. The robb ra are believed to be on
their way back to Ireland via Bristol.
