VEXATIONS OF GAME LAWS.

( From the Manchester Guardian.)

We give, in another part of our paper, a report of some pro.
ceedlngs before the Magistrates at Bolton, exhibiting in a pretty
clear light some of the vexations arising out of the Game Laws,
and also the sort of conduct which Esquires and Justices of
the Peace think themselves warranted in adopting, in reference
to cases arising out of those abominable Laws. It seems that
two gentlemen residing in this neighbourhood, having obtained
permission to course in the neighbourhood of Bolton, went
over for that purpose. Whilst engaged in their sport, they
are seen by one of Mr. Halton's keepers, who applies for and
obtains a sight of the certificate of one of them : he also ascertains
that they have obtained permission to course from the party
entitled to give it, and we may reasonably presume be was, at the
same time, informed that they were both qualified to kill game.
Yet Mr. Hulton, who had no more to do with the property on which
these gentlemen were sporting, than theKhaa of Timmy, allows, or
directs his keeper to lay an information against them for sporting
without being duly qualified; and the defendants, with their at-
torney and witnesses, are dragged to Bolton to meet the charge,
and the expense, probably, not less than that of paying the pe-
nalties sought to be recovered from them. They there distinctly
prove that they are duly qualified, and the charges are, of course,
dismissed. Then comes the great injustice of the proceeding. In
a case like this, where Mr. Hutton or Mr. Hulton's keeper chose
to interfere so unnecessarily and impertinently with a matter with
which he had nothing to do—ln a case where the slightest in-
quiry would have shewn the qualification of the defendants—in
a case where those defendants, without the slightest fault of
their own, had been subjected to great expense—one would have
thought the Magistrates would, if it were in his power, grant costs
against the informer to the uttermost farthing. But the defend-
ants in this case get no costs, and are compelled to sit down with
the loss of their money and their time. We do not exactly know
whether the refusal of costs in this case is to be attributed to the
law, or to the Magistrate who administered it ; but whether owing
to the one or the other, we do not hesitate to say that it was
gross and shameful.

The following is the case above alluded to :
BOLTON PETTY SESSIONS.

Gams Cash.—S. HALL. T. &mow, and J. fiaatow, all of
Manchesser, appeared to answer to three separate informations for
having tr.ed three dugs in the township of Westhoughton, on the
Bth inst. with intent to destroy game.
Mr. J. K. WATKINS appeared in support of the informations ;
and Mr. Law, of Manchester, in support of the defendants.
W. Partington, one of Mr. Hulton's gamekeepers, deposed, that
he saw the three defendants on the Bth inst. in Westhoughton, each
leading a greyhound; they were coursing ; and slipped the dugs
whenever a hare was started. Witness saw three hares killed ;
and gathered up by the parties. Witness spoke to them.
On his cross-examination by Mr. Law. Pardngton stated that
the defendants were upon the lands of Mr. Pendlebury ; and
aftei some hesitation he admitted that he had been to Mr. Pen-
dlebury, and ascertained that that gentleman had given them leave
to course upon his farm. Witneu also acknowledged that, on the
day in question, he saw a game certificate, with the name of Sa-
muel Hall on it.

Mr. LAW submitted that his clients were coursing; but Mr.
Hall and Mr. Timothy Barlow were both qualified persons, and
George Barlow was acting in the capacity of servant, which ex-
cluded him from the penalties of the Act of Parliament. Mr.
Law then called Mr. Cairns, a respectable builder of Manchester,
A% be proved that Mr. Hall was possessed of property to the value
~f nearly £3OO per annum ; one part of which was a freehold es-
tate in Cheshire, which was worth £l5O per annum.
Mr. Cairns, on his cross examination, said that he koew that
there was no mortgage ou the property; and that Mr. Hall re-
ceived the rents. Mr. Hall's certificate was produced, and the case
dismissed.

Mr. Timothy Barlow was neat charged ; and Mr. Jeffrey, of
Manchester, having proved that be was possessed of freehold pep-
petty in Manchester and Fliston, worth upwards of 1001. per an-
num, clear of all incumbrances, this case also was dismissed.
George barrow was then called, and Mr. Hall proved that tl •
defendant was hired to assist Mr. Hall and Mr. Timothy Barlow
.% hen they were coursing, and received at the rate of 25. 6d. per
day for his cervices.
After 1 few recent decisions in the higher Courts had been re-
ferred to by the respective Solicitors, to ascertain whether the de-
fendant e true properly within the meaning of the Act as a servant,
Colonel }'etcher war of opinion that he did, and he was discharged.
Mr. Law applied for costs, but Colonel Fletcher peremptorily
refused to allow them.

THE SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO THE
CAUCASUS

The Gazette de Teflis publishes the following details
of the scientific expedition to Mount Caucasus :
00 the 26th of June, our expedition left the warm mineral
waters for the moutitain Eibourouss, under the command of the
General oi Calialty Emm.-nuel, in person. It was accompanied
by J. Kupfer, the mineralogist ; all. Metsethrie„ the zoologist, and
keeper of the 31usruin of the Academy of Sciences at St. Peters-
burgh ; 31. Sedtz. the As•istant Professor of 31edicine ; M. Meyer,
the botanist of Dorpat ; and M. Vansnvitsch, an officer of the
mi es belonging to the establishment of Lnugansk.
After having unmounted all the difficulties which offered them-
selves to our journey, we arrived on the Bth of July, at the foot of
the Elbortm3, and we encamped on the river Malka. The baggage
was left at 1.5 verstes (about 10 English miles) trans the Elborouss ;
a piece of cannon was brought to within eight iterates (about lye
English miles) of the camp. The seam of the ascents and descents,
and the little width of the piths tr.ced along the steep sides of the
mountains dial not allow us to advance further otherwise' than on
foot, or on horseback gently ; but nowhere on the road, did we
meet with any part of It. not even in the musks, impassable, nor
generally did ,we encounter the naturist abot;elts which, according
to Elaproth. and other travellers, proteet the approaches of the
Elborouss,

The weather was not favourable to us; fogs and perpetua
rains rendered our journey very painful. On reaching the foot

of the Elborouss, we intended to wait for fine weather ; but, to
our great satisfaction, the sky became clear and bright the next
morning, and the two pinnacles of the Elborouss appeared to us
In all their majesty.

The academicians resolved to avail themselves of this weather so
favourable to their enterprise. We hastened to provide them with
whatever was necessary for this difficult walk—that is, with pointed
staves, cords, etc. They had an escort of some Circassian' and
Cossack volunteers. They left the camp at nine n'ctock in the
morning, and it was only towards evening that they reached the
first snows, where they made preparations for passing the night,
having only mounted about eight venter (about five English miles).
The next day, the 10th, they began their ascent, at three o'clock
in the morning. The frost favoured them greatly, and they ad-
vanced with success enough : but it became more and more pain-
ful, as the snow, beginning to fall, clogged their feet. They were
obliged to make frequent halts, and to part themselves into small
divisions. Remaining In the camp, we observed with the greatest
curiosity the slow progress of the travellers. Towards nine o'clock
in *e morning they had climbed to about mole than half way up
the mountain, and stopped to rest themselves behind the rocks,
which concealed them wholly from our sight. An hour afterwards
one man only appeared beyond the rocks, advancing with a firm
and measured step towards the summit of the Elborouss. It was
in vain that we waited to see him followed by the other travellers ;
nobody appeared—on the contrary, many began to return down
the mountain. All eyes were fired on him who accomplished so
daring an enterprise. Resting every five or six steps, he advanced
with the greatest courage ; just close to the summit he disappeared
among the rocks. The spectators long waited for his appearance
with interest and impatience • towards II he was seen suddenly
on the very top of the }novo:tn. A discharge of musketry, music,
songs,and cheerings of joy made the air reverberate at this sight. We
remained until the evening, uncertain who was the first of mortals
that bad escaladed the highest of the mountains of Caucasus, con-
sidered until this day as inaccessible. Oa the return of the tra-
vellers, we learned that this audacious adventurer, who had alone
dared to attempt the ascent of the Elborouss, and who had proved
its possibility, was a Kabardian, an old herdsman named Kiliar,
lame and deformed. He received the reward of the prise of 400
roubles, and five archines of cloth, which had been offered by
General Emmanuel.

One of the academicians, M. Lents, reached the height of 15,200
ft. The total elevation of the Elborousa above the level of the At-
lantic ocean, is reckoned to be 16,800 ft. that is nearly 5 verstes
(about theee and one-third British miles) in a vertical line. We
have seen in the neighbourhood of our camp, at the foot of the
Elberouu, fine falls of water from several rivers ; the finest be-
yond contradiction is that formed by the river Malka ; it falls with
incredible noise from a perpendicular height of nearly 20 sajenes.
No current of water is to be perceived; but the streams drop in
isolated masses one after another. At about Ave sajenes above this
cataract, there is a natural bridge. of stone, covered with herbs ;
and it is here that the road lies which leads to the Karatchaieff
and the mountains. In general, the prospects of this country are
very beautiful. We have found in the mountains, during our tra-
velling through them, some lead, plenty of coal and gypsum, some
porphyry, some jasper, some conglomarations, &c. The whole
chain of the Caucasus is of granitic."
