The prisoner begged that he might be sent to Tothillfields
prison.
Mr. White asked him why he in particular wished to he sent
to Tothillfields prison?
The prisoner said that it would be more convenient for his
mother, as he wished her to visit him, and she lived in the
neighbourhood.
hr. White said that would make no difference, as at present
he could not allow any person to visit hint, except under parti-
cular circumstances.

Prisoner.—Then, I cannot be sent to Tothillfields ?

Mr. White replied in the negative.
The prisoner again put a question relative to the reward
offered in the proclamation, as to who was entitled to it, and
receivgd a similar answer to that to his first application.
The prisoner said that he did not wish to say any thing. more
at present, but would consider what was best to be done In
pri-
son.

Mr. White told him that would be his best plan.
The van having now drawn up into the outer yard, the pri-
soners were all brouKht out of the cell. A vast crowd had as-
sembled by this time, in order to catch a glimpse of the prisoner,
and it was with some difficulty that the police could keep the
people off.

FATAL DUEL.—On Thursday night, the 16th of August, an
hostile message was delivered from G. F. Johnson, Esq., mer-
chant, of Fremantle, to W. N. Clark, Esq., solicitor, of the
same place ; in consequence a meeting took place the following
morning at seven o'clock, at the back of Richmond-house, each
party accompanied by a friend; and with feelings of deep regret
we state, that at the first fire Mr. Johnson tell, mortally wound-
ed. The unfortunate gentleman was immediately conveyed
into Richmond-house, attended by surgeon Harrison, and
shortly after by surgeon Langly, who came express. A litter
being provided, Mr. Johnson was conveyed to his own house,
where he lingered until the following morning, when he ex-
pired, universally regretted. Mr. Clark remained in the prison
till the ensuing ituarter session, which was held before the lieu.
W. H. Mackie, Esq., as chairman, and a bench of magistrates, on
the Ist of September, at Fremantle. Bills of indictment
against W. N. Clark, W. T. Graham, and T. N. foul, Es-qrs.,
for the wilful murder of G. F. JOhnson, Esq., in a duel, on the
morning of the 17th of. August last, were preferred to the grand
jury, who made a return of " Manslaughter" against all the
parties. The following day the three gentlemen stationed
themselves at the bar, and the trial proceeded. • -
Mr. Leroux examined, stated that he was for some time
aware that a difference existed between Mr. Clark and Mr.
Johnson; that on Thursday, the 16th of August,-witness was
standing with the deceased and several persons, when Mr.
Clark walked up, and addressing himself to-Mr; Johnson, said,
" You are a scoundrel and a blackguard, and were it not from
motives of. prudence I would give you a sound thrashing!7
Witness was aware that a duel would be the consequence. Was
not far from the ground at the time of the fight.
The remaining part of the evidence related td the sending of
the message, and the fact of the duel in consequence.
The jury after some hesitation brought in a verdict of Not
Guilty, thus acquitting all the prisoners.—Western Australian,
9th January.

TAME FISTI.—We have seen various fish ponds, with
the fish comparatively tame, throughout the country ;
but we have seen none so curious and interesting as that
belonging to Colonel Macdowal in Wigtonshire. Lately,
when in that part of the country, we were induced to
visit this pond as being one of the curiosities of the
place, and were certainly amply repaid for our trouble.
The pond is situated.on the sea shore, and is cut out of
the rock in a circular form, and connected with the sea
by means of a tunnel constructed so as to admit of the
ebbing and flowing of the tide, without, in any degree,
communicating its agitation ; the 'water in the pond is
thus, as it were, renewed every tide, and .is kept in a
'healthy state for the fish. The pond may be about fifty
feet in diameter,—at low water, about ten feet, and at
.high water, about twenty-five feet deep. The fish are
procured from the sea, and consist of cod, haddocks,
flognders, and the various sea-fish to be found on that
coast—we also observed several salmon. The fish in a
very few days become perfectly tame, and have not the
-least objection to be handled by visitors—They are fed
regularly by the keeper with the common limpet, and.at
feeding time resemble more a flock of dornestic.poultry
around their accustomed henwife than anything we have
seen ;. it is certainly amusing to see the flounder •rising
from the bottom and squeezing in his twisted mouth
among the others to receive his share of the proN i ;ion.
The pond is kept up at very little expense, and the pro-
prietor can have the finest fresh fish served up all day s
of the year. The fish being so very tame as to admit.of
their being handled,„the keeper can take, out the very
fish which is wanted, without any thing more to do than
put down his hand.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
