the formidable defalcation in the revenue disclosed by
the late official returns ; while the Home Secretary
is naturally anxious to be relieved in some degree from
the responsibility which rests on him to take measures
for the preservation of the public peace. The Cabinet
Council, which is summoned to meet on Tuesday, will
detarmine the period at which Parliament shall assem-
ble for the despatch of business.
ADULT DEAF AND DUMB SOClETY.—Yesterday'
evening a meeting of the subscribers and others of
the above society was' held at the institution in Bart-
lett's-buildings, Holborn, and which was respectably
attended ; J. Robertson, Esq., in the Chair. Mr.
J. G. Simpson, ' the Secretary, read the minutes. of
the late meeting, which were confirmed. Amongst
other topics, it was moved and seconded, and unani-
mously carried, that a printing press should be estab-
lished, which would give employment to a number of
hands, and be the means of increasing the funds of
the Society, which at present, from the .number of
claimants for assistance and support, is in a depressed
condition. The Rev. Messrs. Simson, Crouch,
Stewart, Chappell, and others, addressed the meeting,
and the various resolutions were carried unanimously.
ENLARGEMENT OF SMITHFIELD MARKET.—A peti-
tion to the Corporation has been got up, and is being
extensively signed by graziers, salesmen, and others
connected with the market, still further to enlarge it,
as notwithstanding the recent additions made during
the last few years, the present space is not found
sufficient, and great quantities of sheep and pigs are
every Monday obliged to be accommodated in the
yards of the different public-houses. The spot most
suitable for this enlargement is at the north end to-
wards Long•lane, where sufficient property might be
purchased at a reasonable rate, and so as to pay good
interest to the Corporation.

with him ? Mr. Little—lie afterwards sent his man
fur more starch, and I sent him 56 pounds weight I
more. I repeatedly called at his counting-house, but
I never could see him.

Alderman GIBBS—You have given him credit, it is
evident.
Mr. Little—He was to have paid one over the other.
James Hutchings said he fitted up the counting-
house for the prisoners, but not a farthing had he re-
ceived for it.
Alderman GIBBS regretted to say that the case of
the carpenter, who had thus thrown away his labour,
was merely one of debt.
The Solicitor for the prisoner—There is not a sin-
gle case against him. These tradesmen have all given

him credit.
Alderman Gthus—l consider there is quite enough
to justify me in remanding the prisoner until the
tradesmen have time to pioduce the necessary evidence.
• The prisoner was then remanded till Wednesday.

covered from the bio—ws he had received, went towards
the place where Bebhington had had the struggle with
Baker, but he did not find him, as he had gone
away; but he saw the body of Chesters lying there.
He saw four men just out of the wood, and one of
them looking through the hedge, but he could not
recognise any of them. He went across the
wood towards Wettenhall, and in the field
next to the wood he met Bebbington, who
was at that time bleeding very much from a
bad cut across bis head. They went to the public-
house at Wettenhall for assistance, and haring ob-
tained it they went for Chcsters, whom they found
lying on the ground, where Bebbington had last seen
him, before he was attacked by the poachers ; and
they carried him to the Boot and Slipper public-house.
Whilst the above conflicts were going on, John
Noden had a struggle with the. poacher armed with
the bludgeon ; and managed to fight him for a con-
siderable period with his stick. and ultimately
wrenched the bludgeon from him. 'They then
got into the hedge, and had a severe struggle, when
the poacher got uppermost, and jumped with his feet
upon Noden's belly, and then set off into the wood.
Noden was so much injured as not to he able to get up
for some time ; and when he did get up the men had
all gone away.
When Richard Chesters was taken to the Boot and
Slipper public-house, he was in a state of insensi-
bility ; and he died about half-past twelve o'clock on
that day.
On Wednesday an inquest was held at the Boot
and Slipper public-house, Wettenhall, before Henry
Churton, Esq., Coroner, on the body of Chesters.
Mr. Churton had the assistance, in pursuing the in-
quiry, of Mr. Tollemache, Air. Corbett, and Mr.
France, Magistrates of the county. Mr. Dumvile,
7,.;,,cit0r of Tarporley, attended on the part of the
rosecution. -
The evidence was chiefly corroborative of the state-
ment we have just narrated. The prisoners, Charles
llitchen' William Warburton, Richard Evans, and
Samuel Cousins, were severally identified without
difficulty by a variety of circumstances.
At the conclusion of the evidence, the prisoners
were cautioned that any statement they might make
would be used against them, when each of them
swore they had been at home the whole of the night
in question.
After a patient investigation, and a lucid summing
up by the Coroner, the Jury returned a verdict of
Wilful Murder against Charles Hitchen, William
Warburton, Samuel Cousins, Jos. Baker, and Richard
Evans ;" and the four prisoners in custody were im-
mediately committed on his warrant to- Chester Castle
to take their trial at the as,...izes for that offence ; and
were conveyed there the next morning by Mr. Baker
and his assistants.
It is expected that Baker will not be able long to
evade the search making for him.
