Meatran.—On Wednesday last an laspaest was
taken by Mr. Todd, at Tidwortb, on view a the body
of Robert Baker, gamekeeper to T. A. Smith. Esq-
who early on the morning of Monday last, was shot
by a gang of poachers, six or seven of whom were
assembled at Asbdown-copplee. for the purpose of kil-
ling pheasants. it appeared by the evidence adduced
before the Coroner, that it was the usual practice of
Mr. Smith's gamekeepers to keep • look out for
poachers during the full of the moon ; and that seven
of them bad assembled for that purpose at Ashdown
Cover, about twelve o'clock bn Sunday evening, and
had sot been there above an boor before they beard
the report of a gun ; and on proctoring to the quarter
from which it came, they discovered three men stand-
ing under the wood, and immediately after two more
joined them from out of the wood ; whereupon Baker
and his associates made up to thets,and inquired what
they did there; upon which several of the poachers
with horrid imprecations threatened to shoot the first
man who dared to apprehend any of them. Baker,
however, shortly after laid hold of one them, when a
poacher, who had no gun, snatched one from the
bands of another, saying to him, " D—u thee. thou
dost not do thy duty." and presenting it deliberately
at Baker's breast, fired it off, and killed bins instantly.'
At this moment another poacher snapped his gun all
another keeper. but luckily it missed fire. After
beating the keepers in a most desperate manner, the
poachers decamped., taking with them a gun belonging
to one of the keepers, but leaving behind them three
hats and two guns, which with the very liberalreward
offered by Mr. Smith, will It is anxiously hoped and
expected, lead to the discovery of the perpetrators
this most sanguinary business.—Verdict—Wilful mar-
der against dome person or personsunknown.--VomP

Ah old fellow, of the name of Isaac Jones, who was
been for many years a pest to the perish officers of Fresh-
ford, was sent home to them about twelie months ago,
in consequence of their refusing to relieve him, whilst
living out of his own parish, from the' conviction that be
was an impostor. He is' naturally filthy and abusive,
and on Monday last the parish officers came to the de-
termination to strip him from bead to foot for the pur-
pose of well cleansing bins and destroying his tittered
garments, which, with its cargo of vermin, he took con-
siderable pride in wearing. The thoughts of having
his coat burnt which had stack closely to his hack for
the last 15 years, put hies into a serious state of agita•
tion, and when be was told it was upon the fire, he be-
came almost frantic. His breeches was next thrown
upon the fire, when he eagerly exclaimed, that some
halfpence were in one of the pockets; the mistress of
the house took them off, in their burning state, and on
examining the pockets, to her Fre a astoni.innent, she
found a leather bag, containing several others of a
smaller sire, in each of which the money was found,
amountiag. to 14 seven shilling pieces, and 11. 11s. in
silver. his now strongly suspected that the coat had
bank notes concealed about it, from the very, great dis•
tress the wretched being evinced on hearing it was
burnt, and even now the parish officers cannot pacify
him. He never took off his clothes, bat always slept in
them, sad • thus did he become at last quite filthy offen-
sive, which led to the detection of his impositions. He
is quite blind. and one of the greatest reprobates that
ever disgraced the name of man; ;he has been imposing
lon the p.trisb of Freshford for the last twenty years.
