'both hands, relieved honest,. Dobson from
-predicament.

1 - The hands of the latter, though sadly stiffened
by the tenacity with which they had been
clenched for so many hours, wore seen brandish-
ing the axe ; and he, apparently, made all prepa-
rations for giving the deadly blow—and deadly it
would have been, had be struck. 13irt, to the
Isurprise of Sleeper, he did not strike; and to his
• ,
(furtner consternation, Dobson swung the axe
upon his shoulder and marched away, whistling.
as he went, with as much apparent indifference
as the other had shown in coming to his relief.
It was now Sleeper's turn to make the rforest
vocal with his cries. In vain, he raved, and
cKlled, and threatened. Dobson walked on and
disappeared, leaving his friend as sad a prospect
for his breakfast as lie himself had for his supper.
To relieve the suspense of the read er, it is
right to add that Dobson returned and killedthe
bear in the course of the afternoon.

CASE OF ABDUCTION AT
LIVERPOOL. •
(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
This extraordinary, case was further investigated at liver-
pool on Friday. The Court opened at two o'clock. The
examination was taken before Mr. Rushton, the Police Ma-
gistrate.
The first witness called was John Rodgers, gate-keeper at
Roby—Recollected five persons coming to embark on the rail-
way train on the 19th of March. Miss Crellin, Mrs. Clayton,
M'Gill, Jones, and Quick, were amongst the number. Mists
Crellin appeared to be intoxicated. It was five minutes be-
fore ten in the morning. Asked Quick what was to do with
the lady. He said it was a funny way she had. He asked the
gentleman to put them in a carriage by, themselves, which he
did. Miss Crellin was assisted into the carriage by Jones and.
114 Gill. Saw Quick the Sunday but one following, in the
evening. He came to the Roby Station, to book for Liver-
pool. He said, " I think I shall want you this week." " What
for?" was asked. " Concerning the party who went from here
the other day," was the reply. He also. said the parties who
were friends to Miss Crellin, seemed to say they conveyed her
away in the night, and he wished hint to state the contrary.
Witness said he must give him notice, as he must put a man
in his place. He said lie would send a nete, and give him 21.
tor his trouble.
„Matthew Eckersley, porter at Parkside station on hie Man-
chester and Liverpool railway, remember ed the train arriving
on the,' morning of the 18th March, about five minutes to
eleven. Saw Quick. Jones, Mrs. Clayton, and Miss Crellin
walk dow." to the North Union station. They sat down in
I
witness's place for nearly half an hour. Miss Cnellin appeared
to be rather in a drunken state. He was smoking his pipe,
and she asked him to give her a pipe. He said to.her, " 0 yes,
by all means." He gave her a pipe, and she amok ed it for ten
minutes or a quarter of an hour, and became rather faint.
The man she called Jones, and the doctor walked out with her
for a little pure air. Ho handed them into the carriage, and
the train started immediately. The fare was paid by Quick.
Crosssexansined by Mr. Gaocorr —An hour elapsed before
',the train came up after the party arrived. The lady seorned tcs
enjoy her pipe very much. There was very little trouble let
getting Miss Crellin into the carriage. She seemed to b e very
che.erful—the same as drunken people are.
James Baines, coachman of the North Briton, which i tuts
from Lancaster to Shap, took a party with him on the 18t1 aof
March. They were Quick, M'Gill, Jones, Mrs. Clayton, )nd
Miss Crellin. Quick took the places in the name of Thai tsp.,
son. He paid for three inside and two out to Carlisle. Jo nes,
Mrs. Clayton, and Miss Crellin rode inside. They dines lat
the King's Arms, where they went from the railway. • At
the coach office Miss Crellin was swearing and making a meat
noise, and Quick said to M‘Gill, " Get inside and quieten the
old b— h." M'Gill then went inside and rode to Cann forth.
. The doctor went into the house, and the waiter brought some
1 brandy to those in the coach. They went on to Buxton,
i where they had glasses again. M'Gill then got outside.
!..00ked into the coach and saw Miss Crellin's head on Jones's
shasalder. She appeared to be asleep. Heard no names given
to any of the parties. Had three glasses of ale with them and
some brandy. The doctor said to M'Gill, "Bring oat the
bottle and let us all have a drink." M'Gill said. Mrss Crellin
had drunk it all. Asked the doctor if they were taking the
lady to an asylum? "No," said the doctor. " You would
not think the old lady was worth 66,000/." This was at Bur-
rough's-green. Quick said they were doctors in the army, and,
were on leave of absence; they had come over to Liverpool to
see the steeple-chase. The doctor called and paid for all on
the road except once. Miss Crellin and Mrs. Clayton got out
at a place called Hucks, seven miles from Shap. Assisted her
out. She appeared to be very tipsy, and could not walk herself.
T. Brownrigg, the post-boy at the Bush Inn, Carlisle, was
examined at length, and described the conduct of the parties
during the journey to Gretna Hall. He pulled up about two
miles from the Sark Bar. Looked into the carriage, and saw
that Jones had a glass bottle in his hand. Mrs. Clayton had
a wine-glass. Al/ along the road the party kept " stirkiing"
out with fits of laughter, the ladies more particularly. , Quick .
paid for the coach hire.
Cross-examined—They were let down between two or -Ririe -
miles from Gretna Hall, where Jelin Linton lived. Watched '

in South Frederick-street, Dublin. His father was neve r a •
soldier. He kept his carriage, and horses, and livery-serve .nts .

M'Gill got a share of it. Never knew Mr. Gill's father to

A number of other witnesses were examined, but they st a ted
no new facts. and the prisoners were remanded till the follow-
ing day, when some additional evidence was given, but not king
material was elicited.

Mr. RUSHTON said it was his intention to commit the pri.
soners for felony, and then there would be a fUrther ch aro
for conspiracy against them all.
Upon Copeland being told if he had anything
to say, Edenwas the time, the prisoner replied he had nothing to say.
The MAGISTRATE then said, that as the charge against:lira
was for obtaining money under false pretences, he vrouleit lake
bail, himself in 100/., and two sureties in 501. each.

Mr. GROCOTT hoped the Magistrate wou'd allow bail !to be
taken for Mr. Rogerson.
Mr. RUSHTON=NO; he is guilty of felony like the rest.
They are al, with the exception of Copelanci, guilty of felony.
