ANGLING IN THE COQUET.—Perhaps not 1::.• the
memory of the very oldest local man has there been any-
thing like such an autumnal angling season in this far-
famed river since the recent Salmon Fisheries Act. The
river has swarmed with Salmon, and the disciples of " Old
Isaac" have had rare sport; as many as twelve salmon
have been killed to the rod, and there are few who have
thrown a line who have not been rewarded by an exciting
run and a full creel. On Monday, at Felton, Mr. W. Dob
son, of Thirston, the Coquet's prince of anglers, performed
a feat unparalleled, we believe, in piscatorial history. About
4 p.m., while angling on the Felton Casts, below the
bridge, he simultaneously hooked two fish with his well-
known "tiny" rod, only 18oz. in weight; and his skill was
put to the test—" he had a long pull and a hard pull," and
an exciting chase. However, by most dexterous manoeuv-
ring, he managed to land his prey, when ono proved to be
a 2

weighing 411bs, and measuring
bull trout, weighing %lbs. This
is a feat, we venture to say, which may not be rivalled once

FLOGGING GAROTTERS.--.Three prisoners, named
Daniel and David Bryant, and William Prendegist, who
were convicted at the last session of the Central Criminal
Court, and sentenced to be flogged, prior to their undergoig
terms of imprisonment and penal servitude, for robberies
in the streets accompanied by personal violence, underwent
the most unpleasant and painful portion of their punish-
ment on Saturday in Newgate. The flogging was inflicted
with a cat-o'-vino tails by Calcraft ; and the two Bryants,
who are stout, stalworth young men, although they howled
and made a great outcry while the flogging was being in-
flicted, did notappear to be very much affected by it. The
other culprit was a slim and apparently meek young man;
and although they were all sentenced to receive forty
stripes each. Mr. Gibson, the surgeon of the prison, who
was present and superintended the infliction of the punish-
ment, felt himself justified in ordering Calcnift to desist
after the prisoner had received twenty lashes only. After
the infliction of the flogging the three prisoners were
taken back to their cells, and when they are in a fit con-
dition they will be removed to undergo the remainder of
their sentence.
