One of thole disgraceful circumstances arising from
vulgar error, occurred in Canterbury, on Tuesday
morning last. James Braucher., a labouring man,
f:om the neighbourhood of Boughton Blean, accom-
panied his wife, a decently-dressed, and good- look-
ing woman, apparently ab-mt thirty years of age, into
lie Cattle 3larket, and first inquired for a salesman,

and being informed that his province was to sell
beasts zunl sheep only, he then engaged a pen, for
which- he paid the 'l'ollenger the usual demand of
sixpence, tied a rope round the waist of his wiAt, and
led her by it into the pen; when a young man, named
Thbmas Fuller, a waggoner, in the employ of Mr.
Berry, of Boughton Hill, who had also accompanied
the parties, became the purchaser of the wife inr the
sum of five shillings. The parties then retired Irom
the market, the buyer and seller, equally well setis-
fi:Al as the woman, with the transfer.
Wedr.asday, as the troops of the 16th Dragoons,
stationed at Truro, were returning from watering
" their horses, one of the animals, belonging to an ()la-
cer, became restive, and ran furiously down Pydar-
street, where, coming in contact with a child of about
four years of age, it came to the ground. The rider
was throws a considerable distance and materially
iiijuted, and the child a!most immediately expired.
Tae parents of the infant being in distressed circu m- I
stances, the owner of the horse very humanely sent
them five pounds.
