Bedford Gaol and Penitentiary are very full ; and
there are now upwards of 40 prisoners confined under
the Game Laws. There is one from Woburn (Clare),
who has taken up his usual winter quarters for the list

intent to destroy game, &c. is punishable with transporta-
tion for seven years; but this sentence is seldom, it ever,
carried into effect.
MILITARY Ericrums.—During the rebellion in

Such a total apparent ignorance of the manual exercise, naturally
excited the chagrin of ibe Captain, and the astonishment of the
General, to whom the former only a few days before had been
