Mr. Rush has been long known as an extensive fartair,
to which he added formerly that of auctioneer. He had:
farm at Felmingham under Mr. Jenny, and another wlliol
his own property, but mortgaged to Mr. Jerinf'
between the parties on account,
the property being taken from
premises, distresses were put on the farms ; and ultimate'
Mr. Jenny obtained possession of the Stanfield-hall Fail', O-. Buzzard,

£477 10s. 10d. Rush's lease of the farm at Felminglo Worrall, Gan

it up ; but he refused, and a distress was issued. He re;

'cash, a few days after the distress was put in at
field, called his creditors together, and offered them l'ed
6d. in the pound. One creditor stood out, and refesice
the composition, and he (Rush) was made a bankruPt for
believe on his own petition. The bankrupt appeared
his final examination in August last.
It is stated that a mortgage for £5,000, due to the
ceased gentleman, ought to have been paid off on Thurscl°Y_
the 30th of November ult., on the second day after thern
atrocities took place. We learn that on Sunday week' la
the afternoon, the prisoner went to Stanfield-hall ane,°"ce
the late Mr. Jermy—and that his object was to 1010
that ill-fated gentleman to allow the mortgage to rere
for three years more. This request was, we believe, re'
fused, and very high words ensued.
