to get up. The poacher, as soon a ok,* ast ... dock, said said to the one with him, a'"Givt c at
other barrel, and I'll shoot the other h -.” The
other poacher said " No," but instantly raised his
gun and shot Beech. The poachers were about two
yards from Beech, and four yards from 3.laddock
when they fired. The stars were out and the moon,
but it was a little bit foggy. After the men were
shot the poachers ran away, and I w.?3et to try and
meet them. I saw them get over a hedge into a
field joining the one I was in. When I got over the
hedge I saw no more of them. I their went to the
now dead men, and Maddock said "I'm shot, and
poor old Shootcock (Beech) is dead." I lifted Beech's
head up and found he was dead. Ith en went into
a field and gave the alarm, and Basbrd came up
and his dog, and he chased a poacher's dog. Bas-
ford tried to kill him, but in a short time the dog
got up and ran away. Beech and Maddock were
lying in a small field next the cover when I found
them. The dog that ran away was a black one,
with white on his neck and head. He seemed to be
a lurcher.
At this stage of the proceedings the inquiry was
adjourned until Friday, the 10th of December.

THE CHARGE OF COL. HORNE.

The following letters have been addressed to the
Editor of the Times :
Sir,—ln a case last Monday before the magis-
trates at Winchester, between Col. Horne and 111 r.
Roe, you will find that a.young lady has been most
inconsiderately compromised by him, who is not in
any way, I assure you, connected either by ties of
relationship or guardianship, for the purpose of
getting up " his case," that I, as her mother, feel
it my duty to clear up three points that have been
totally misrepresented, merely to exonerate, in a
degree, the accused from the charges brought
against him—viz., that of the manner in which my
daughter became acquainted with Col. Horne, his
subsequent visit to my house, and the apparent
clandestine correspondence. The Colonel INTS fir, t
introduced under circumstances that will ever be
remembered with gratitude—he saved my child
'Aonoin almost inevitable watery_ grave. As for
the visit to my holise, it was - entirely with. my
knowledge and sanction. Mr. Roe knows welil that
he was in the house himself during the whole
time; lastly, there was nothing clandestine in the
correspondence. lam sorry to say that she, is so
persecuted by her father-in-law, and her letters as
well as feelings so outraged that I suggested the
idea of receiving the next through the aid of a ser-
vant's name ; t that letter was intercepted, ille-
gally taken from the post-office and kept; it has
not even yet reached its destination, but retained
by her worthy stepfather to read in a court—it ap-
pears to have been forgotten--on Monday to ex-
plain the illegal means that were resorted to to
obtain another's property; it is a complete theft, but
the thief will never have the chance to do so again.
I have been informed, and my own reason tells
me, that the questions to which the prosecutor ,was
i subjected were highly improper and very unfair,
and without one spark of feeling or charity to the
victim of the " got-up case ;" neither could they
possibly have reference to writing disgraceful ano-
nymous letters, or inciting the insubordination of
soldiers to mutiny.
The allusions made about "protection" under Mr.
Roe's " roof" is absurd, and what he has never pre-
tended to offer. The very young lady alluded to,
with her mother, are the principal agents in keep-
ing a " roof" over his head. His sort of " protec-
tion" will no longer be required. There is a mys-
tery in the case.
With your permission, Sir, I will add, that had
Mr. Roe " got up a case " of insanity to help him
out of this scrape, I could have furnished many in-
stances, with witnesses, that would have borne out
the said " case." It certainly would have been
more manly and less cowardly than to entangle in
such a cruel way a defenceless girl.
Hoping I have not
.taken up too much space in
your columns,
I shall ever remain, Sir, yours most obliged, and
respectfully,

7ANE ROE.
P.S. I enclose the two replies which were re-
ferred to in court, but not produced, for your in-
sertion or otherwise, as you may think proper.
P.S. My own and the enclosed have already ap-
peared in the Hampshire papers, but I am ,anxious
they should appear in yours. I have enclosed for
your insertion the two following letters, which arc
the replies alluded to in the court, but not pro-
duced :

"Winchester Barracks.
"My dear Miss Cleaveland,—l :feel much in-
debted to you for your considerate kindness in
makiig me aware of Mr. Roe's threats towards
you, that he would be fully capable of doing any-
thing to save himself, even were it by throwing
aspersions upon the character of a young lady by
insinuations or otherwise. It is a great pity you
r arc placed in contact with such" a man. He must
be a cowardly indeed to talk of getting up a
case to defend himself with at the expense of his
daughter-in-law, though I am quite at a loss to
understand how your name can be brought in ques-
tion as connected in any way with a ' conspiracy to
take my life.' I have no doubt but what it is much
grief that makes your mother such an invalid.
Feeling deeply indebted to you for your condescen-
sion in writing,
" Believe me to remain, my dear Miss Cleaveland
yours ever faithfully,

" ARTHUR HORNE.
" Colonel 13th Light Infantry."

" Winchester Garr;son.
"My dear Miss Cleaveland,—Emboldencd by
your kind communication on the subject of the
threatening letters sent to me, may I ask you if you
can identify one of the two letters as the handwrit-
ing of Mr. Roe ?_

Your name shall not be in any way compro-
mised or even mentioned by me without your free
consent or the sanction of your guardians ; but
such base villany merits exposure, and I intend
laying the case before a competent tribunal, and for
that purpose shall immediately consult the law
officer of the Crown as to the proper course to be
pursued. _

" With kind remembrances to your mamma, and
apologising for the trouble I have given you, be-
lieve me, my dear Miss Cleaveland, to be very sin-
cerely yours,
" ARTHUR HORNE, Colonel-Commanding."

Sir,---In a charge I preferred against a Mr. Roe
on Monday last at Winchester, a lady, very highly
connected and with an irreproachable character,
has been most unjustifiably compromised by insinu-
ation as connected with the charge. Miss Cleave-
. land, the young lady in question, had nothing
whatever to do with the case. Mr. Roe not being,
as I understood from the beginning, in any way
her guardian, he had no right to expect that I
should make him acquainted with my intentions
towards her; but her step-father's base vindictive-
ness in trying to ruin (by insinuation and the con-
test of his defence) the fair fame of the lady, at
whose feet he knelt in the presence of her mother
imploring her to exert her influence with me to
save him, and thereby continue our supposed clan-
destine correspondence in his behalf, coupled with
his threat upon her refusal to " get up a case,"
he being at the time in possession of the letter
Mrs. Roe accuses him of stealing, obliges
me publicly to declare that, under the cir-
cumstances which really exist, I was justified in
addressing the lady as I did.
If Mr. Roe was innocent of the charge I was
about to prefer against him, what had he to be
saved from ? Miss Cleaveland' intercession could
only save him from the penalty of the law if guilty
of a breach of it. May I beg the favour of your
inserting this letter, as the affair is not yet quite
settled ? I have the honourAnT
to be, sir, your
.
obedient servant, nun HORNS. -
Colonel, 13th Light Infantry.
Aldershot, Nov. 29.
P.S.—Will you kindly correct an erroneous
statement made in your impression of yesterday ?
it is respecting Miss Cleaveland's having gone to-
wards the station with me. The truth is she was
coming up the High-street, accompanied by her
brother, and was going to request a surgeon to call
on a child in her neighbourhood in whom she had
been taking great interest, when I, in coining from
the court, happened to meet her, turned, and went
with them to their destination.
P.S.—ln the intercepted letter I signed myself
as " Your affectionate A--" not as published at
all. A. H.

THE INNER TEMPLE.—We understand that Mr.
George Bryant, late under treasurer of the Inner Temple,
received from the Masters of the Bench of that hon. society,
on his retirement from the office, a very high testimonial,
and a present of plate and money to the value of 200
guineas, in recollection of his long and faithful services.
The election of a new under treasurer took place on the
23th of November, when the office was conferred on Mr.
Chrees Edward Vaughan.
[ADvEETISEMENT.I—HeIIOway's Pills.—Colds, Catarrh,
Fever, Influenza.—Since dreary November has opened her
dismal calendar, the atmosphere has been exceedingly
frying to the strongest constitution. Few persons have
escaped without colds, which, though seldom attended with
immediate danger, often lay the foundation for the most
serious diseases. At their commencement the cure is ac-
complished with ease : reduce the existing fever and allay
irritation aid the patient is himself again. To secure this
desirable result. no pharmacopoeia bears on its pages any
medicine, or combination of medicines, comparable with
Holloway's antiphiogistic Pills, which, operating on the
blood, their influence with it goes the whole round of the
circulation, stimulating every organ and exciting the ex-
halants to perspire, which effectually removes the febrile
action.
