THE KING V. A. SOURER.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL prayed the judgment of
the Court upon Arthur Bouker, brought up to receive
sentence, having been found guilty of. having unlaw- •
fully removed certain field-gates to the King's high-
way, near Stoney Stratford, in a part where mail
coaches and carriages were obliged tp pass. It ap-
peared from the evidence, that after twelve o'clock
at night, the defendant took off different field-gates,
and laid them in the road, at a part where they would
be likely to interfere with the wheels of mail coaches
coming that way. In fact, one did obstruct the mail
roach, and one of the horses was injured. It did
not appear what was the defendant's motive, He did
not explain to the Cana in this instance, but merely
alleged that he was in liquor when be committed the
mibchief.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, it had been a corn-
man practice of late to take off field-gates, and lay
• ht.in in the way of the mail coaches. The defendant
took off the gates, and deliberately laid theta in the
roai, within a ft*
_yards of each other. The Post-
master considerettit his duty to-check a practice so
injurious to passengers, and accordingly prosecuted
the defendant, who had never explained his extracts,.

CORK, JANUARY 21.—Early on Saturday a rapid'
thaw commenced, by which means the greater part
of this City has been completely inundated, the
houses have generally at least four or five feet water
on the ground door, and boats are plying in the
streets. A Welsh vessel in the river was forced away
by the current. The Captain and five- sailors, ex-1
pecting nothing but her destruction against Patrick's-
bridge, got into a small boat from her stern, but she
immediately filled and went down with them: the
Captain and two lads sunk to rise no more, and the
others were 'with difficulty saved : the vessel drove
against the portcullis of the bridge but did not sink..
Two women and the mate, who remained on board,
got safe on the bridge.

A Gentleman, rather sharp in his character~ who
had lost one of a beautiful pair of carria;e horses,
experienced 'each difficllty in replacing him, One
'day that his coachman returned-from a long hunt,
he cried—'s Well, John, 'have. you sueoee&dr
