CROYDON.

SINGULAR CASE.JS:II. Riciard Lacey, a gentleman
of fortune, residing at Chelsham, and George Standen,
his groom, attended before Messrs. Reid, Adams,
Lucas, Sutherland, and Barclay, the presiding magis-
trates, the latter to answer a charge of having un-
lawfully shot at and wounded a setter dog, the pro-
perty of Mr. W. Russell, a farmer at Chelsham, and
the former with aiding and abetting his servant to
commit the act, for which offence, by an Act of Par-
liament passed in the 7th and Bth years of the reign
of George IV., they had incurred a penalty of 405.,
besides the value of the dog.
Mr. Richards, solicitor, of Croydon, attended to
support the complaint.
It appeared, from the testimony of several wit-
nesses, that on Tuesday, the 20th of August, about
eight o'clock in the evening, the complainant's setter
(log strayed .into Mr. Lacey's premises, and he was
heard to give instructions to the other defendant to get
the gun and shoot him, and directly afterwards the report

of a gun was heard, and the animal was seen to run
limping away, and it eventually appeared that he had
been very seriously injured, so much so as to render
him utterly useless for the present shooting season.
Mr. Russell, in answer to questions from the Bench,
said the dog was a very excellent one, and at this
period was worth at least 101.
Mr. ADAMS inquired whether the animal was at all
mischievous, or whether there was any reason for the
defendant's attempt to destroy him? Mr. Russell said
he was a remarkably quiet, inoffensive dog, and he
could not conceive what motive there could be, except
that of mischief, to destroy him.
The defendant, St'anden, in answer to the charge,
admitted that he Acot the dog, and said the reason he
did so was because he thought he was a dog who had
frequently come howling about the premises at night.
Mr. Lacey said the family had been very much an-
noyed by the dog's noise, and he certainly gave di-
rections that means should be taken to get rid of him,
but he denied, positively, that he told Standen to
shoot him. _ _ _

Mr. ADAMS said he supposed he only told him to
keep the dog quiet, and he had certainly taken effec •
tual means to endeavour to do so.—(A laugh.)
The Magistrates, after a short deliberation, ex-
pressed an opinion that the charge had been made out,
and they adjudged Mr. Lacey to pay a fine of 405.,
with 31., the value of the dog, and 12s. costs. The
other defendant, who appeared only to have acted
under the orders of his master, they fined 20s.
Mr. Lacey said he should not pay the fine.
The Bench replied that if he did not, he would be
committed for fourteen days.
Mr. Lacey said very well, he would go to prison.
In a short time, however, he appeared to think
better of it, and he requested the Magistrates to allow
the matter to stand over for a few days to give him
an opportunity of producing evidence to show that
the dog was not so much injured as was represented,
and the Bench granted his application, upon the un-
derstanding that if he failed in doing what he sug-
gested, the original decision would be enforced.
The same defendants were then charged upon
another information with having unlawfully killed a
terrier dog, the property of Mr. John Brown.
It appeared in this case that the dog in question
was missed from Mr. Brown's premises on the morn-
ing of Wednesday, week, and the same day it was
seen in Mr. Lacey s, caught by the leg in a large rat-
trap, and shortly afterwards the animal was shot by
the defendant Standen, and then buried in the dung-
hill. A search-warrant was obtained, which was
executed by a constable named Tappan ; and on his
questioning the defendants, they at first denied all
knowledge of the dog, but when he found it in the
dung,-Mr. Lacey said to Standen, " Never mind,
George, don't be afraid, they cannot hurt us."
Mr. Lacey, in answer to the complaint, with great
earnestness declared upon his word that he knew
nothing about the dog being shot, and said he was
ready to take his oath of it, if the Bench would allow
him. lie wished the Magistrates to question his
servant, and he said he would clear him.
The Magistrates said they had no right to ques-
tion a defendant, but Standen was at liberty to make
any statement he pleased.
Standen then, evidently much to the astonishment
of Mr. Lacey, said the truth was that his master
knew all about it, for that when he told him the dog
was in the trap he gave him the gun and told him to
shoot it.
The Magistrates said they had no doubt that this
statement was correct, and they expressed their sur-
prise that a person in the station of Mr. Lacey should
have pledged his word, and have offered to swear to
the truth of which he knew to be false.
Mr. Lacey still asserted that he knew nothing about
the dog being shot.
Mr. ADAMS said he did not believe him, and he
thought his conduct had been very disgraceful.
The other Magistrates said that they quite con-
curred in what had been stated by Mr. Adams, and
they only regretted that the evidence was not suffi-
cient to warrant them in convicting him, without the
statement of his co-defendant upon which they could
not act, and they should certainly in that case have
inflicted the full penalty.
The information against Mr. Lacey was then dis-
missed, and the other defendant was fined in the
mitigate -1 penalty of 20s.
CHARGE or ARSON.—A man named John Nay
was examined on Saturday, before J. W. Suther-
land, Esq-., and other Justices sitting in Petty
Session, upon a charge of having wilfully and ma-
liciously set fire to and destroyed a stack of hay, at
the parish of Sutton, the property of Francis Gosling,
Esq., the banker. It appeared that the fire took place
about four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon and be-
fore it was got under, upwards of ten loads of hay
were entirely consumed. The evidence against the
prisoner was that, just before the fire broke out, he
was seen by a little boy, named Chapman, sitting
upon a gate close to the stack, and on his looking
rounel!it minute or two afterwards the prisoner was
gone, and he then heard a " whiz," and at the
same moment the stack burst into flames. The
prisoner was met by a young woman, coming
in a direction from the stack, and it appeared
that he gave an alarm, and assisted to extinguish the

fire. On -his being questioned by Mr. Gosling's
gardener, he said that he was the first at the fire, and
on the gardener telling him that could not be for that
the gate was locked, and that he had been obliged to
bet
over it, and fell-down in doing so, and that at this
time there was no one near the stack, the prisoner re-
plied, 4( There you have done me I'll allow—you
have beat me there." After a very careful inquiry
the Magistrate said there was a very strong case of
suspicion, hut they did n't think the evidence suffi-
cient to warrent them in committing the prisoner to
take his trial. He would therefore be discharged,
but they should require him to enter into his own re-
cognizance to appear on a future occasion to answer
any complaint that might he preferred against him.

Oakes, Tickner, and Spencer, presiding at the Town-
hall, High-street, for the purpose of disposing of

Mr. OAKES informed his brother Magistrates that
he had been waited upon early that morning by the
friends of the unfortunate young gentleman, in the
hope that he might be liberated, as he had to mount
guard at an early hour on that day, and if he was not
in attendance, the consequences might prove most
nious to him. He, therefore, consulted with the

Mr. TicioiEß—But N7llefe is the bail-book ? Was
there no security given fora Tann'g liberation from the

Mr. OAKES—WeII, we fine the accused ss. for the
offence, and if the officer will go down to the Falcon
Tavern and present my compliments to Mr. French,
stating file amount of the fine, it will be paid.
The officer acted according to his directions, and in
a few minutes returned with the silver.
THE POOR MAN'S LAW.--"A poor donkey-driver
was charged with driving his ass without a badge
empowering him to do so.
Mr. OAKES observed that if the laws were made
they must be attended to, and the least they could
fine the prisoner was the amount of expenses he had
incurred, viz., 7s. 6d., w hick the poor fellow reluctantly
paid out of his hard-got earnings, and was then
allowed to depart.

THE LATE TRIAL OF BELANEY
FOR THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Having observed a long article in the Times
of last Saturday, on the above subject, we beg to sug-
gest to you and your readers, that that most useful
kind of knowledge (medical jurisprudence) by which
doctors and other scientific persons are enabled to
state the properties of poison to juries, as in the case
of Belaney, is totally distinct, and has no reference
whatever to the origin or cause of disease, and its
treatment—for instance, telling a jury that the knife,
as in the case of Dalmas, was drawn in a particular
way across the throat, and that it could not have been
so drawn by the deceased herself, is undoubtedly most
useful for the purposes of justice; but such know.
ledge has nothing whatever to do with the cause or
cure of any disease, nor does it bear the least analogy
to it
In our opinion, poisons, or anti-medicinal prepara-
tions, should be prohibited by law; they can never
tend to the cure of any disease ; they only serve to
mystify the otherwise simple science of medicine.
We are, Sir, your obedient servants.

SUNDAY TRAVELLING.

Mt. C. Phillips, churchwarden of Margaret Rora-
ing, attended at Dunmow to prosecute an information
against Messrs. Price and North, the proprietors of
the Circus, for travelling through that parish with
their waggons and properties, on Sunday, the 18th
instant. Mr. James Price being present, his case
was taken first. The Rev. William Shepherd, the
rector, deposed, that on the morning in question, while
he was performing Divine service in Leaden Roothir.g
Church, his attention was attracted by a loud
rumbling noise, which continued for several minutes,
of vehicles passing along, and noticed, through
the window; a waggon, appearing to he loaded
with planks ; on his way home he found, at the
King William public-house, five different vehicles,
three having on them " Price and North, Riding-
masters, London ;" one " Thomas Barthrop, of Lon-
don; and one the name of a brickmaker, from North-
ampton; he took the names down and went into the
house, begging to be introduced to either Mr. Price
or Mr. North. Not finding any person to answer to
those names, he asked for the party who had charge
of the vehicles, and on his remonstrating with them,
one of them attempted to vindicate Sunday travelling,
by violent and blasphemous (though not abusive)
argument. The horses were feeding, and one ve-
hicle, apparently the carriage for the individuals, had
a great drum behind; witness afterwards saw two of
the vehicles passing through Margaret Ro :thing, in
the evening, loaded with planks. Ryan, police con-
stable 88, corroborated Mr. Shepherd's testimony,
and said he saw the vehicles, and desired
the persons to go away before the after
noon service would commence. They did
not, because, as they afterwards said, they did not
wish to go into Chelmsford during the Sunday. The
conveyances had two horses abreast ; one carried a
large drum, musical instruments, and several men ;
saw them again at four o'clock. and they went on.
By consent of the bench, Mr. Price only attended to
answer the charge, as Mr. North was then (two o'clock)
present in the pavilion at the commencement of the
amusement. Mr. Price pleaded that he could not deny
the charge of travelling on the Sunday ; they always
endeavoured to avoid it, but in this instance were
unable to do so ; he had hoped that by putting up at
a lone way side inn they should disturb no one ; at
the same time he objected to the information, their
vehicles being described as waggons, which he respect.
fully contended they were not. They paid duty, he
sail, for the band carriage to the same amount as for
a gentleman's carriage. He was not aware of any Act
of Parliament being in force to prevent their travel.
ling on Sundays, and had never heard of such a prose-
cution before.—The bench were of opinion that the
vehicles carrying the planks were fully within the
meaning of the Act laid in the information as waggons.
and . they must convict. The Rev. Mr. Shepherd.
said that this was the first time he had brought a
matter of this kind before the bench, because he
had always succeeded in his object by persuasion,
arid remonstrance, and had been enabled thus
to uphold the majesty of the law. That,
he begged to submit, was his only aim,
and therefore the most lenient fine the justices
thought proper to impose he hoped would suffice ; at
the same time, in order to show the accused he had
no vindictive feeling, he should make no charge for
his attendance and expenses incurred in coming there,
and he should withdraw the information against the
other defendant, Mr. North.—Mr. Price, on finding
that the magistrates were about to decide on a con-
viction, again urged that their travelling vehicles
could not be described as waggons, when the bench
ordered the room to be cleared. On Mr. P. being
re-called, the chairman informed him that they had,
after mature consideration, determined upon the con-
viction, and 20s. fine, including costs.—Chelmsford
Chronicle.

A Fist" won= CAPTURING.—The Bay of Luce,
Wigtownshire, whether from depth of water or other-
wise, has long been famed for the superiority of its
flounders. Fresh water lochs and rivers furnish different
kinds of trout ; and it is the same in the open sea, as
regards the distinctions between genera and species. In
Luce Bay there is a variety of flat fish, alike large and
tempting to the palate—say from five to t-ix or more
Founds, rivalling in delicacy the finest sole. Still that is no-
thing, compared to what we are about to relate on compe-
tent authority—the testimony of Mr. J. Irvine, tacksman
of the Balcarry fishery, kindly forwarded to us by our
antiquarian friend, Mr. Frain, of Castle Douglas, On
Monday, the 19th, the precise date of our last publica-
tion, a fish was caught in the beautiful bay named above,
of the flounder species, which measured from head to
tail four feet three inches ; in breadth twenty-two inches
from the tip of the one fin to the other ; and in depth of
chest or body six inches. and weighing 5 llbs ! Mr. Scott,
innkeeper, Auchencairn. not only saw the fish weighed and
measured, but he partook of a portion of it, which tie, in
common with others, considered excellent. Of the facts of
this case there can be no doubt, and the only difficulty con-
sists in accurate scientific classification. On consulting
Baron Cuvier's " Animal Kingdom," the highest
authority on such a subject, we have arrived at
the conclusion that the marine stranger described
must either have been a specimen of the halibut,
which attains to great size and weight in the northern
seas, but of which there are smaller species in
the Mediterranean, or a rombus, of the turbot genus,
which is also shaped and finned like a flounder. Pre-
vious to cutting up so rare an order in our own waters,
it is a pity it had not been previously presented for ex-
amination to some individual curious in natural history.
Since the above was written, we have received from
Glenluce five flounders, which together weighed 191bs.—
Dumfries Courier.
MR. PRITC ARD.—The Nouvelliste des Flanders
states that this gentleman inhabited Bruges some fifteen
years ago, in the corner house of the Puits aux-Oies,
and the Marais, and that he left there in debt to many
persons. This is, no doubt, an incorrect assertion.
A propos of debts, we may state, that a few days ago, a
Belgian, an officer in the Garde Civique, u as speaking in
very disrespectful terms, in a caki, of Queen Victoria and
the Duchess of Kent; and ass, rted that the latter illus-
trious personage owed considerable sums of money in
Brussels to persons who could never procure payment
from her. An Englishman present., who spoke French
well, being indignant at the speaker's insulting remarks
on our gracious Queen and her respected mother, told
him very plainly, to his teeth, that he was uttering
falsehoods, and defied him to give the names ~f the par-
ties to whom, as he asserted, her Royal Highness was
indebted. The calumniator was completely taken by
surprise, and after muttering, like a blagueur, " Vous etes
Anglais, et mj oi e suis Beige," left the cal. Our coun-
tryman remained there more than an hour afterwards, but
the other did not think proper to return.—Brussels
British Gazette.

One of the most important offices in•Gateshead in
the olden times was the keeper of Gateshead Park, and
about the year 1300 he was in the receipt of a salary of
three-half-pence a day. When to this office wa, added
that of keeper of the tower, which stood at the Gates-
head side of the bridge, an addition of a half-penny was
added to the income. It is, perhaps, worthy of remark,
that the Quakers were the first dissenters who located in
Gateshead. George Fox and his friends complained
bitterly of the conduct of the authorities of Newcastle.
They several times attempted to hold meetings within the
liberties of the town, but they were invariably conducted
to the blue stone (the stone placed in the pavement on
Tyne Bridge to mark the separation between the county
of Durham and Newcastle-upon-Tyne), and ordered not
to return at their peril. Brand states that their first
meeting-house was in Pipewellgate, and he mentions
having seen a grave-stone in a garden near the middle
glass-house, belonging to the sect, which leaves no doubt
they had also a place of burial for their dead. In 1674,
the Friends appear to have had a meeting-house near
the tolbooth, in the middle of the High• street, where
they remained until they removed to Pilgrim-street,
Newcastle, in 1699.—Newcastle Advertiser.

WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—CHANGE OF REGIMENTS.—
The 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards marched
from Windsor to Slough, en route to St. John's-wood
Barracks, this morning, at nine o'clock, under the com-
mand of Colonel Berkeley Drummond, and were relieved
by the Ist battalion, who arrived from the Tower at
noon, commanded by Colonel Moncrieff. The band of
the regiment will remain at Windsor until the depar-
ture of the Court, in about ten days.

BARTHOLOMEW FAIR.—On Friday a deputation of
the inhabitants of Smithfield, attended by Mr. Swan, the
solicitor to the numerous body of petitioners who at-
tended before the Lord Mayor on 'Wednesday, as re-
ported in this journal of Friday, waited upon the Mar-
ket.; committee, at Guildhall, for the
_purpose of urging
