THE ROYAL HUNT.-011 Monday last, his
Majesty's hounds met at Salt Hill, where a fine deer was
turned out, which ran at a spanking pace towards Stoke.
Leaving Stoke, he ran through, Langley Park to Iver Heath ;
here'he stopped and laid himself down in a ditch. From
here, he was driven by a•dog, which coursed him about a
mile ; being again left to himself, he leisurely proceeded to-
wards Iver. Reaching Iver, he took it into his head to
jump in to a garden, where a woman was hanginglher clothes
out, who, on seeing the " trespasser," cried out, " Oh Lord!
Oh Lord ! . the Stag ! what shall Ido ?" But the stag no
sooner jumped in on one side than he jumped •out on the
other ; running through three more gardens, when he
entered Mr. aPE I. A ND'S pleasure grounds, and taking a
short survey, lie ran back, entered the yard, tried to clear
a wall about eight feet high, but failing in the attempt, he
turned himself round and seeing a door open he very deli -
berately walked up stairs into the '" hay loft • Here he
was kept till the hounds came up. He was then driven down
stairs, and turned; out, ran down the village for a short dis-
tance, and then made a most amazing leap at some pales,
which he cleared. Here he again found himself in a gar-
den with about 40 foot people at his haunches. After
running a circle of about Ufa mile, he again jumped into
a garden, ran across, and then leaped into the road. After
-again running for about half an hour in 'a
-round-about
manner, be was taken alive in Delaford Park. A better
hunt for the " foot people" was hardly ever witnessed.
The 'deer ran a distance of six or seven. miles, and was never
once out of sight. —Bucks gimmick.
KELSO, NOV. B.—The Lothian fox hounds
have now hunted in this district for nearly two weeks,
flurinti which time the weather has been on the whole
favourable, the attendance of sportsmen numerous, and
Grace the Duke of BuccLaucn joined in the runs on
Monday
sport
oriaya without any very brilliant runs, good. His
n, d
Tuesday last; and almost all the neighbouring
gentry who used to attend the Mellerstain Hunt ,turn out
to the new pack. The spotting scenes are in consequence
uncommonly attractive.— Caledonian. Mercury.

SUPPOSED CIIILD MURDER.—On Monday
last the body of a new-born male child was discovered in a
privy at the back of a house in Shelton. A woman named
ANN BAILEY', suspected to be the mother, was accordingly
taken into enstody. Au inquest was held on the follow-
ing day at the Red Lion Inn, before Joule DENT, Esq.
when the following evidence was brought forward. WM.
BAILEY (uncle. to ANN BAILEY, the piisoner) deposed,
that On Sunday eVening•his niece complained of pain in her
bowels; she took some syrup of rhubarb, and said it re-
lieved her ; after witness had retired to bed at night, he
heard his niece go out of doors ; she remained out a con,
siderable time, afterwards returned into the house,, and re-
tired to bed till the following morning. CATHERINE
Tint, a neighbour, had entertained suspicions of ANN
BAILEY'S pregnancy, and was induced to examine tht
privy, where she found the body, of a new-born malt
child, immersed in the filth, and' covered with ashes.
The latter part of this witness's evidence was cor-
roborated. by a man named Moon, who assisted it,
taking the body oUt •of the, privy. Mr. HARDING,
surgeon, on Monday was called in to examine the infant,
which the prisoner acknowledged to be her's. This gen-
tleman then gave it as his, opinion that the child Was still-
born. After the eeidence, Mr. DENT addressed the Jury.
He explained the law as to the case before them, observing,
that though it appeared, from the evidence of Mr. Hano-
i:4o, that the child was not born alive, yet the offence of
concealing its bilth was so fully proved against the pri-
soner, that it became their duty to make her a public ex-
ample: This could only be done by returning a verdict of
wilful 'nuttier against her. If they did not return a ver-
dict to that effect, the prisoner must be immediately set m
liberty, and the ends of justice defeated. The Jury con-
sulted a few minutes, and returned a verdict of Wilfu,
Murder against the supposed mother, who was accordingh
committed to S6fford gaol, on the Coroner's warrant.—
