There is no truth in the Nuremberg account of an
earthquake at Palermo. Letters from Palermo, dated
the 16th ult. and from all the principal Italian ports to
the 29th and 25th December, are entirely silent on the
subject of any new convulsion of nature in Sicily.
About two o'clock on Saturday. morning last, a
party of six poachers were observed in the grounds in
front of the hall of C. Swetenham, Esq. of Somerford-
Booths, by the gamekeepers of C. W. J. Shakerly, Esq.
of Somerlord-hall, who informed the keepers of Mr.
Swetenham. They went to the spot from whence the
firing proceeded, and soon came up with the poachers,
who appeared to be drawn up with their guns shoul-
dered to act on the defensive ; one of them, J.Eadley, of
Siddington, took deliberate aim at, and shot one of the
keepers In the right hand and thigh: the man thus
wounded, seised the per.en who fired, when a despe.
rate struggle took place, and both fell into the river
pane. Assistance being at hand, this poacher ano
nother, G. Oakes, of Slddington, were sccurc,i. They
were committed to Chester Castle. The mats who %VA
shot is not seriously injured.
