the meantime Catherall pressed down upon his neck
with his foot to prevent him from calling out for assist-

received, that blood gushed out from both his ears.
These facts were clearly proved, and the prisoners bad nothing.*

The Jury. without limitation, returned a verdict of Gritty.
IletheraU was again put to the bar on a second in.

The prosecutor said he was a confectioner, acid hada

Daring the shole of the proceedings he behaved
with the most hardened impudence, and said that the
several individuals bad pet ured themselves. Though
grossly ignorant, he affected fine language, and swag-

VAN DIE‘IAN'S LAND.

JEFFRiF.S. THE BUSH-RANGER.

We ha►e received a file of Hobart Town payers to

the 17th r f February. The following are further par-
ticulsirs of j. Mies, the notorious bush-ratiger, whose
apprehension we announced on Wednesday :
"I shall now conclude the history of the monster
Jeffries. A few days ago, the wretch, with one com-
panion, tome op to a balk hut, where a party that was
in pursuit of him, consisting of two soldiers, a stockman,
and three volunteers (two of them currency lad.) were
resting themselves. Jeffries fired into the hut, and
wounded a soldier slightly. Soon after one of the
soldiers came upon Hopkins (an accomplice of Jeffries)
and found him asleep and without arms ; he surrendered,
and was brought in.
" Yesterday morning a party of 12 men were resting
in a hutosben a man was observed by a black aboriginal
native boy, at a aunt distance behind a gum-tree. The
alarm was given, and he was instantly surrounded: it
proved to beJeffries. He begged for quarter,threw down
his arms (a musket and pistol) and was taken prisoner.
Ile was seized by a prisoner for life, named William
Parson!, who will of course receive the promised re-
wards. He was brought into town about seven o'clock
last night. it is quite impossible for me to express in
adequate terms, or to do common justice to the feelings
tL at w ele shewn by all descrip ions of people, on the
approach of the monster to the town. No one, I believe,
ever witnessed such a scene. It clearly chews that Jef-
ft les stanes done,unequalled and unparalleled among the
human race. Men, women, and children, free ancfpri-
sone, s, joined in their person .1 execrations, against this
monster. The town was literally gutted of its inhabi-
tants ; there must have been upwards of 500 persons
crowding round the cart that brought this inhuman
wretch to the gaol. Their shouting reached the re-
motest parts of the town. It was with the greatest
difficulty imaginable the people were prevented from
tearing him to pieces. Prisoners of all descriptions
joined in the execrations expressed by others.
" I should tell you, chit when Hopkins was escorted
through the streets on Saturday, Mrs. Feutril, the grand-
mother of the enurcleied infant, mistook a constable that
was wi h him for Jeffries, and rushing from her hou:e,
in a parrsysm of rage, stabbed him with a fork, but,

fortunately for her, kn was only slightly hounded.
Since Jeffs its has been taken, he has coolly conlessed
all the murders laid to his charge, with many horribly
aggravating circumstances; the worst of which is (with
the exception of the infanticide) that being rather pressed
for food, lots were cast which of his two companions

should tne—it fell upon Russrll-.4ut as the man was
armed, lief could not effect his purpose till the poor
u retch fell asleep from fatigue, when lie was murdered,
and his flesh sewed the sutrivors for food for a few
days, until they stole a sheep. On being asked what
he then did with the remainder of Russell's corpse, he
replied, that it was cut into steaks, and flied np with
the mutton.
" The list of the monster's murders stands thus :—lst. Tibbs
man. 2d. Theists's*. ad. Mr. Sutherland's man. 4th. One of

his companions. kb. Raker, a constable. 6th. Russell. 7th.
Wounded Tibbs. 6110. Ditto a soldisr—all within 21 days !
" There were snail prisoners for life at the apprehension of
Jeffries ; and it i• hoped that those who were instrumental in taking
hint will recalls • as an inducement to others to venture
their lives in btia seelt inbunsan wretches to condign punish-
ment. The Jimfire left this only a few hours before this monster
WM brought in. It is to be hoped be will not remain here fora year
before h• is disposed of. Heise man of inunense strength.
" Jetties declares the only thing be is sorry for is the murder of
the infant."

We adverted in our last to the circumstance of mes-
sengers having been dispitched from the Burmese lines
at Melloon to the capital, immediately after the con-
ferences. The following deposition is corroborate of
the statement. The deponent, we understand, was the
Gomashta in charge of the granaries at Melloon, whose
son being wounded durin the attack, he remained
behind, and was coasequeuiy brought into the British
camp:
" DEPOSITION OF RAJAH SAHA NOURATHA.

turn of the first messenger, one of the Secretaries was
also dispatched to ascertain the cause: till the 15th day

" Memia B. replied, remain quiet; and if they conk* them-
selves to mere firing, don't let us return it. Next day, thf English
fire became too hot for men to endure, and many began to retire.
" I had charge of the grain, and knew well, therefore, bow Many
men there were. The Sabin bag, ere this. melted down an his
bars of gold and silver, to pay Lis troops."
