His fall had been broken by outside, a.it .

otherwise is probable
he would have been killedoua the spot;
say that his thigh-bone was broken,'
the knee, and dislocation of the fot,lon the right side; on
tke left side, the foot most eaten "sively burnt, and the knee
dreadfully lacerated ; his arms cut by the glass, and his head
and face much cut and burnt. The gentleman is Mr.Heath-
cote, of the firm of Heathcote and Holman, solicitors, Cole-
man-street, London, who was here on professional business in
the Bankruptcy Court. He was immediately conveyed to
the Infirmary, where he remains in a very dangerous state,
under the skilful care of Mr. N. Smith and Mr. Greig. From
a fragment of the Times newspaper, partly burnt, being
near the bedside, it is imagined the accident arose front Mr.
Heathcote's reading in bed. The most remarkable circum-
stance is, that only one pane of glass, and that not a very
large one, was broken by Mr. Ireatlicote jumping through
the window.—Sherborne Journal.
FAVERSHAM, MARCH 24.—About seven o'clock on
Monday evening an express arrived at Faversham with
the alarming intelligence that the corn stacks at
Queen Court, Ospringe, were on fire. The market
bell was immediately rung to give the alarm, and the
Kent and Norwich engines proceeded with all possible
dispatch, and afterwards one from Mr. Hall's powder-
works, to the scene of the conflagration. The Ospringe
stream running close past thelhrm, there was a plen-
tiful supply .of water. The rieh and the peer united
adoi
in their efforts to save the property. The damage was
happily confined to the destruction of one wheat
' the whole of the stacks and
p
stack and a hay-stack. There were several other stacks,

after working a short time, sustained some damage, and
took considerable time to repair. The engines continued
working nearly the whole night, before the fire was
sufficiently extinguished. A boy named Brenchley has
been apprehended, and will be examined this day, on
suspicion of having wilfully set the stack on fire—Kentish
Observer.

A SAILOR'S PRANKs.,--A few days a man named
Webster, a sailor, was fined Bs. 6d. with costs, by the
Magistrates of Falmouth, for assaulting a constable.
The Recorder, Mr. Merivale, was riding through the
town on a pony with a very long tail. Webster took
hold of the tail and held on. The worshipful magistrate
tried to reach him with his whip, but the length of the
tail prevented him. The policeman came to the rescue
of the magistrate, but was attacked by the.jolly tar, who
hit him and knocked him with great violence.—Sher-
borne Journal.
A SIGN OF THE Timis.—During the last week no
less than forty-five snares, some with hares in them,
were found upon the estate of Tollerton, immediately
adjoining the property of Earl Minvers at Cotgrave.
There is a clue to the offenders, who are threatened
' with being prosecuted with the utmost rigour of the
law as soon as legal evidence is obtained for that pur-
' pose. Every precaution having been adopted, by notice
and otherwise, to render: them wilful trespassers, it may
be well.to inform persons. who follow such pursuits, that
it is not requisite to encounter them personally, but only
1 to identify' them in order to bring actions.—lVottingharn
