Padbury and Carpenter, who were found guilty of night,
poaching with arms, to ten years' transportation. His Lord-
ship observed that it was a great mercy they did not finish
the work of brutal violence, as they would then have bad to
answer for the dreadful crime of murder, and have expiated
with their lives upon an ignominious scaffold, the terrible
result of going under a mistaken notion to take the game
which the law declared was the property of the owner of the
soil, as much as the furniture of a house was that of the oc-

cupier. He should therefore inflict such punishment as
would show these gangs that they could not traverse the
country committing these acts of brutal violence with Un-
punity. Both prisoners protested their innocence.

ASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.-
EXTRAORDINABC
On Tuesday at an inquest held before Mr. W. Carter, the
Coroner, one of the witnesses strongly objected to view
the body. The Coroner urged very strongly that she
must do so, er her evidence could not be received, as
she might, it fact, be deceived as to the identity of
the body. The witness having gone for this purpose,
the Coroner stated to the jury the following extra-
ordinary case which came before his father whilst he held the
office. Ills father held an inquest in the parish of Christ-
church, Blackfriars, on the body of a woman who had been
taken out of the river, it being supposed she had committed
suicide The mother and father swore positively that
the deceased was their daughter. The master in whose
service she had been was also equally positive as to her
being the individual. The inquest was about to close, when
one of Barclay's draymen passing by the house, and seeing
a crowd round the door, asked what it was about ? The
answer was, " Why, have y6ii not heard of the death of
Mary ----? ." She dead 1 why i saw her alive a little
while ago," replied the drayman. The drayman went to
look for the girl, and soon came back with a yang. woman,
whom the father and mother acknowledged to be their
daughter. The daughter thus discovered bore a stri.king
resemblance to the deceased person, and the jury, instead
of returning a verdict as to the death of the daughter whet
was present before them, had the only alternative of deciding
that the body upon whom the inquiry was held, was found
dead in the water, and there:was no evidence ,howi,?-ow ette
I came there.
