TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBE

MOORS AND FORESTS.

On the Coignafearn moors, from the 12th of August
to the Ist September, Mr. Elwes, Major Hall, Mr.
Lawson, and Mr. Scratton have shot 640 brace of
grouse and a red deer. In the same number of days
Mr. Bruce of Kennet and A. Houblon, Esq., have
bagged at Cromdale 782 head of grouse, 62 black-
game, 10 wild-ducks, 14 snipe, and 31 hares. Sir
Charles Burton, Bart., Mr. Littledale, and Mr.
Nicholson have bagged at Upper Killin, from the
12th of August till the 3d September, 661 brace of
grouse and 133 bares. Mr. North and friends, at
Dallas, in twelve days, shot 400 brace. On the Kirdel
moors, J. Marsland, Esq., and friends had shot, up to
the 4th Sept., 1,543 head of game, of which 727
were grouse. Up to the 2d Sept., Mr. Crawford and
party, at Dalnaspidal, bagged 3,065 head of grouse ;
to the same date Mr. Finnie and party had shot 1,160
brace of grouse. Sir H. Wilmot and party, at Carr-
Bridge, had killed, on Ist September over 1,000 brace
of grouse, and 50 brace black-game, besides roe,
hares, and wild-fowl. Three guns first week, four
guns since.
The sport in the deer forests has been good ;
number of beautiful heads have been added to former
collations. One of the finest was shot on the sth inst.,
at Strathconon, by J. M. Balfour, Esq. The deer
weighed, when cleaned, 19 stone; the head is the
best of the season ; the length of each horn is 30 in-
ches, the span inside of the horns 30 inches, and the
thickness of each, 71- inches.

Lord Edward Thynne, who is visiting the Earl of
Malmesbury at Achnacarry, when out deer-stalking
in Gulrain, on the Ist inst., shot a magnificent golden
eagle, while soaring over his head at fully a hundred
yards high. His Lordship used a rifle. The eagle
measured six feet and a half from tip to tip of the
wings, and weighed eight and a half pounds. This
a probably the only instance of an eagle having been
killed flying with a single ball. It was a shot worthy
of Hawkeye.--Inverness Courier.

it was; and, as it was only 4,-1. for the conveyance of
each passenger, she had asked him for the change as
she had described.
Mr. ARNOLD (to defendant)—Do you wish to ask
the lady any questions ? Defendant—lt says " Pour-
' pence from Sloane-street to the Bank," but doesn't
say anything about the Bank to Sloane-street.--.
(Laughter.) She got in at Ludgate-hill. (To com-
plainant)—You did, did'nt you ?
Complainant—Yes • I have said so.
Mr. ARNOLD (addressing the defendant)—What
have you to say ? Defendant—l'm not guilty. My
fare was 6cl. It doesn't say on the omnibus "To or
from the Bank, 4d. ;" but only says " From Sloane-
street to the Bank, 4d.," and the lady rode the other
way.

Mr. ARNOLD—And what does it say is the fare
from the Bank to Sloane-street ? Defendant—lt
doesn't say ; there's no fare for that.—(Laughter.)
Mr. ARNOLD—Then the proprietor is liable to a
penalty for not having painted inside the carriage the
fare from the Bank to Sloane-street.
Defendant—l don't know anything about that.
Mr. ARNOLD—This is about as impudent a defence
as I ever heard set up. The meaning of the words
" from Sloane-street to the Bank" is clearly either
way. If it were not so the proprietor would be
liable to a penalty for not putting up a proper table
of fares in his carriage. An 3 body would understand
the words which are painted in the carriage to mean
4d. "to or from," and considering this to be a gross
imposition, I shall inflict the full penalty of 205. and
costs.

Defendant said he had not got the money, but upon
the magistrate ordering him 21 days' imprisonment
in default of paying the penalty and costs, he soon
produced the required amount.
The lady complained that in the confusion conse-
quent upon the defendant's conduct she left her para-
sol in the omnibus, which she had no doubt the de-
fendant had kept, as there was nobody in the carriage
at the time she left it.
Mr. ARNOLD offered to grant her a summons against
the defendant for detaining it.
The lady thanked the worthy magistrate, but de-
clined; she was content with his being punished for
the imposition he had practised.
LAMBETH.
Bridget Lynch, an elderly woman, and Mary
Lynch, her daughter, were brought before Mr. Elliot,
charged with stealing a silk handkerchief and a
pocket-book from the person of Thomas Moncrieff,
during service time, in St. George's Catholic Cathe-
dral, St. George's-fields, Southwark.
Mr. ELLIOT asked whether anything was know❑ of
the prisoners ?—The constable said he knew nothing
of either of them, but there had been numerous rob-
beries in the cathedral, which induced the authorities
to place constables on duty there every Sunday to de-
tect the thieves.
Mr. ELLIOT said, some inquiries must be made
about them, and to give the constable an opportunity
he should remand them until Wednesday next.
WORSHIP-STREET.
A young man of respectable appearance, who gave
the name of Philip Smith, and described himself as
an engineer, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyn-
court, charged with having stolen a hat-case and a
portmanteau, containing wearing apparel, the property
of Mr. Wm. Brown, a solicitor, at Ipswich.
The prosecutor stated that shortly before three
o'clock that morning he arrived at the Shoreditch
station of the Eastern Counties Railway, with the in-
tention of proceeding to Ipswich, and having placed
his luggage under the care of one of the porters, he
walked into the refreshment-room to await the de-
parture of the first train that started. While partak-
ing of some refreshment he observed the prisoner,
who engaged him in conversation, but after some
trivial observations, abruptly left the apartment, and
shortly after the porter in whose charge he had left
his luggage hastily entered and inquired whether he
had authorised any ona to take it away. Witness re-
plied in the negative, and accompanied the man back
to the platform, where he found the prisoner in cus-
tody. The prosecutor identified the hat•case and the
portmanteau produced by the officer, on each of
which his name and address was legibly written.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.
THAMES.
Mr. Benjamin Longridge Barnett, shipowner and
broker, of Gracechurch- street, City, and Snaresbrook,
Esser, was charged with causing the death of Fran-
cis Featherstone, a labourer, aged 60 years, lately
residing at 55, Queen Anne-street, Whitechapel. Mr.
Pelham defended the prisoner.
Police-constable Oliver, No. 186 K, said he was
on duty in the Whitechapel-road at a quarter be•
fore one o'clock on Sunday morning, when he heard
a noise opposite to the London Hospital, and cries
of " Stop him." He ran towards the spot, and saw
the prisoner, who had been driving a horse and
chaise, under detention. A man who had been run
over was taken to the hospital, and died almost im-
mediately. On the way to the station-house the
prisoner said he called out to the old man, and that he
could not avoid the accident. The prisoner was
driving down the road on his way from London to
Snaresbrook when the accident happened.
Mr. Pelham said that no one could regret the un-
fortunate occurrence more than Mr. Barnett.
Mr. YARDLEY—The case is a very proper one for
inquiry, and where human life is lost it is proper
that the party supposed to be the cause of the per-
son's death should be secured. As far as I can see,

this is an accident, but a coroner's jury may take a
different view of the case. If you have got bail I
will take one surety in the sum of GO/. for his ap-
pearance on another day.
Bail was immediately tendered and accepted.
Michael Doolan, a powerful young fellow, an Irish
costermonger, was brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with committing a violent assault on Judith
Burke, his countrywoman, who appeared in court
with her face terribly bruised and disfigured, and her
eyes blackened and almost closed up.
The prisoner, in defence, said that Judy Burke
threw herself upon him and tore his shirt to pieces.
Mr. YARDLEY said, if that was so it was no justi-
fication for the brutal, cowardly assault which had
been committed on the woman. Such savage doings
were not to be tolerated. He fined the prisoner 51.,
and in default of payment committed him to the
House of Correction for one month.
