PO AC IT ER S.—PR
ESTON, JAN. 13.--Yesterday
morning, about two o'clock, another of those deadly fights, which ars
now so common in every part of the country, took place in the
grounds near Claughton-hall, the seat of T. F. Brockles,
The keepers having received information that a party of poachers
were seen upon the road from Preston to Garstang, made prepa-
rations to protect the preserves. Having mustered to the number
of eleven, they kept watch until three o'clock in the morning,
when, as they supposed, they perceived a party of about ten or
twelve persons, following their unlawful practices. The keepers
immediately rushed upon them, and a terrible conflict ensued,
which some desperate blows were exchanged on both sides. In the
end, the keepers overpowered them, taking six into custody, and
captured fire guns. During the affray, 0115 of the
poachers fired
his fusee, and lodged its contents in the thigh of au assistant keeper
named Francis Whitehead. By this discharge the flesh was des—
perately mangled, and the hone splintered in various places...—.
When the men were all secured, an express wad sent off to Pros-
ton for surgical aid ; and to relieve the wounded man, Dr. Robin-
son, accompanied by Mr. Walker, of the Dispensary, arrived about
six o'clock, and fiiund it necessary to amputate the limb instantly.
The poachers were brought to Preston yesterday, and having un-,
dergone an examination before the Rev. R. Moore and Mr. Mar-
shall, were remanded for another hearing this day. They are all,
Preston men : their names are Peter Spencer, Thomas Varleyy
James Bleazard, William Mawdsley, John Barrow, and William
Morland. The remainder of the party escaped. Two of them
are badly wounded, and others received more or less injury before
they surrendered.—Preston Pilot.
