FAIR PLAY,

/40"r!ght last a very desperate encounter took place between a
balit,ht"s gang of poachers who have long infested the neigh-
gat,""Kl and the gamekeepers of Mr. Edwin James, of Heron-
4_, hear Brentwood, in Essex. The keepers, three in
Iso'ber, and the constable of the parish, hastened to a

tx'n* coats sod preparing fur action. The keeper who first
th'llt up to them was struck by the leader of the gang with
I,ll', butt-end of a gun, and fell senseless upon the ground.
Ilchle, force of the blow, which it is feared has fractured the
