BROMLEY.

Jas. Leech, a man in the employ of Mr.P. H. Dyke,
one of the magistrates for Kent, attended before Sir
C. Farnaby, the Rev. T. Scott, and Mr. Goodhart,
to answer an information laid under the Assessed-tax
Act, charging him with being upon certain lands
belonging to Mr. Fox and Sir John Lubbock, with
a dog and gun, in pursuit of game, without having a
certificate, for which offence he had • forfeited a
penalty of 201.
Mr. Fox, a brewer, and the owner of some land at
Farnborough, deposed that on the day named in the
information he was in ohe of his fields and he heard
a shot fired, and a few minutes afterwards he observed
a dog apparently hunting for game. Shortly after-
wards he saw the defendant, who had a double-barrel
gun, go from the field into a plantation which ad-
joined it, belonging to Sir John Lublx.ck, and the
defendant asked him if he had seen the rabbit he shot
at. Witness told him he had no business to shoot on
his land, and defendant denied that he had done so,
adding that he had leave to shoot upon Sir John
Lubbock's property. Witness had since, how-
ever, written, to Sir John, and ascertained that the
defendant's statement was not true.
Sir C. FARNABY observed that the mere consent
was not sufficient. It had been stated over and over
again that there must be an express command or
authority.

The defendant denied that he had shot upon Mr.
Fox's land, and said that with regard to Sir John
Lubbock's, he had the permission of that gentleman
to shoot all the rabbits he could, on account of the
depredations and mischief they committed upon the
crops.
Mr. Dyke here said he should wish to put the
Bench in possession of what he knew upon that
matter, and he was accordingly sworn. He then
stated that the defendant was jointly employed by him-
self and Dr. Taste to look over their property, and
as they had been planting very largely, he had in-
structions to destroy all the rabbits he could, on ac-
count of the injury they did the crops He had
asked Sir John Lubbock, whose property adjoined
theirs, whether he desired to preserve the game ; and,
as he was a large planter also, he very readily agreed
that he had no desire to do so, and expressed his wil-
lingness to concur with them in destroying the rab-
bits with which they were so much infested, and
which, as the Bench were well aware, did so much
damage to the crops. He had, therefore, given the
defendant orders to destroy all the rabbits he could,
and he was sure that Sir John Lubbock was no party
to the present proceeding, as his servants and the de-
fendant had frequently acted.together to effect the very
object which was now soughLtolbe.complained of.
The Rev. Mr. ScoiT,o'heitilielliat where land was
planted, rabbits, no doubtO cat deal of mischief.
Mr. Dyke said they "wpie'i**xj.ttn with them, and
they occasioned very great injury:
Sir C. FARNABY asked the complainant whether he
saw Leach actually shoot upon his land ?—The com-
plainant replied that he did not, but he saw his dogs
hunting about in pursuit of game, and he contended
that was sufficient.
Sir C. FARNABY expressed his opinion that, under
the circumstances, they could not convict, and he at
the same time observed that if the complainant had
any plantations he would no doubt be very &ad to
have the rabbits killed.
The other magistrates concurred in the'view taken
of the matter by Sir C. Farnaby, and the informa-
tion was accordingly dismissed.
UNION-HALL.
Thomas Beavan, a youth, the son of a very respect-
able man, was charged before Mr. Cottingham with
stealing a watch, the property of William Eve.
It appeared the prisoner went into the complainant's
shop and had hi. 4 shoes repaired. He took• an opportu-
nity of walking into the room adjoining the shop and
took a watch off the mantel-piece. Having given the
watch to a little girl to pawn, she was stopped, and this
led to the apprehension of the prisoner.
The prisoner's father gave a melancholy account
of the incorrigible habits of his son, who, he said,
was convicted at a late sessions for felony ; but on
account of his youth he was only sentenced to
21 days' imprisonment. The punishment, however, had
not the slightest effect in shaking his evil propensities,and
although he had a good home and every comfort, yet
he was in the habit of staying out and committing all
kinds of excesses.
Mr. COTTINGHAM said that he should now commit the
prisoner, and that on his trial the record of his formercon-
viction could be produced, which would probably cause
the Judge to sentence him to transportation, but instead
of being sent abroad, he would be sent to the establishment
in the Isle of Wight, and there taught a trade, by which
he would be enabled to obtain his bread in an honest way.
He was then committed.

FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.
Yesterday the inquest was for the third time resumed
before Mr. Carter, on the body of Edward Everest, a
wate man, who lost his life on the 25th ult., by his boat
coming in collision with the Waterman steamer No. 6.
The evidence previously given was very conflicting.
The body of William Morgan, a seaman, who perished
with the deceased, has not been recovered.
Ralph Sutton, waterman (who had been at the time
standinz on the new Tunnel-pier), saw the steamer and
the skiff about fifteen yards apart ; the steamer, going
at the rate of seven or eight miles an hour, stopped im-
mediately she struck the skiff. The captain was on the
paddle-box, and witness did not think he could prevent
the accident. A schooner was aground by the lower
Tunnel-pier, which caused the accident
Robert Wilson, a waterman, said, he did not see the
occurrence, but he came to speak as to the situation of
the schooner, and the effect of the eddy caused by it.
Mr. C. Hay, a juror, and a member of the Court of
Assistants of the incorporated Watermen and Lighter-
men's Company, said, " Oh, if this man saw noth_i-ag of
the accident there is no occasion to hear him."

The CORONER—This witness is here to speak of facts,
and those facts are for the future consideration of the

jury.
The witness then went on to confirm the last witness's
evidence.

The CORONER said, perhaps the jury were satisfied an
eddy was caused by the schooner, and it would be for
them to say what effect that had in causing the collisi(
Mr. Hay observed, that there were legal gentlemen
present, and they would do as they thought fit. Every-
body knew an eddy was caused by the schooner.
Mr. Clarkson said it was not his intention to lead the
jury. All he wished wc.s, to suggest what might be a
saving of time, and not to ask advice from the gentle.
man who had made the remark.

Mr. Hay said there had been remarks made which had
been insulting to the whole jury ; and he bad under •
stood the foreman had undertaken to speak to the Co-
roner on the subject, and he was surprised he had not

done so.
Mr. Clarkson appealed to the Coroner whether any re-
mark of his could be construed into an insult?

The CORONER— Certainly not, Sir. It will be impos-
sible, gentlemen; to carry on the inquiry if this state of
things is to continue.
Mr. Clarkson then handed to the Coroner the names
of the persons on board the steamer, and left it to him
whether he would call them or not, as he had deter-
mined, after what had taken place on the last day, to
offer no evidence himself. The captain, who was pre-
sent, would not probably be called, but the mate and the
man at the wheel, who were under his control, were
competent to be heard.
The CORONER was of opinion that those under the
captain's control might be heard, but the captain could
not be sworn, though he might make any voluntary state-
ment.

Mr. Ilay—Suppose the mate chose to do anything
without the captain's authority, would the captain then
be responsible ?
Tho CORONER said, if the mate took charge of the ves-
sel during the unavoidable absence of the captain, and
anything involving loss of life took place, the mate would
be responsible.
Samuel Brisco, the mate of the steamer Waterman No
6, said she was going at the rate of ten miles an hour,
but, if she was going at the half-speed, the accident
could not have been avoided.

HER MAJESTY'S STAG HOUNDS.— The meet ‘3ll
Wednesday, which took place about two miles fib
the residence of Mr. Cox, at Hillingdon, near Uxbridge;
was attended by nearly 100, including a sprinkling 0`
the officers of the regiments at Windsor and liounsloeh
and many of the sporting gentlemen of the neighbour
hood. It was fully expected that Prince Albert wall
have honoured the meet with his presence. Ills Rejt
Highness, however, who will not hunt with the Queet?'
buckhounds this week, shot over the royal preserves °
Windsor Great Park. An untried hind, upon being 110.'
carted at Pole-hill, went away at a tremendous spa°
straight ahead to Bone Farm, and thence toward
row at racing speed, where it made for Pinner, doublizt
to the right on the Harrow station, and crossing till
Birmingham Railway near Stanmore. After a splenal
run, and perhaps one of the fastest on record, of el°
hour and three minutes, the hind was taken near 31'
Tilbury's farm, at Pinner, and there housed. Upwarl
of fifty, notwithstanding the severe pace throughout tbo
run, were up at the take. the meet to-day will be ,
