Butler FickcJ, OF New Cumberland,
was arrested a few days since on charge
OF adultery. The warrant was issued on
Information made by James Smith, who is
\ brothcr-in-law Of the accused. Butler
was taken before q justice and a warrant
issued for the woman in the case. While
the constable was absent for the purpose
OF serving this warrant, Butler stepped out
the door and took leg bail. He skipped
across the fields ut \ lively rate, and nj.
though the Squire sent one or two persons
in pursuit, it was no use, and the prisoner
made good his escape. The Squire nniici-
pating that Fickes would land in Toronto,
sent word to that place, to arrest and hold
him, but Fickes got wind Of the word that
had been sent after him. and skipped.
When the constable went to. arrest the
woman he found she had also left for more
congcnial tlilnes. Smith, who swore out the
warrant, alleges that the accused parties
have been living together since March,
lSS2, and have meyer been legally married,

annoying him and his family for some
time past, and he accepted this mode OF
procedure as the best means to get rid Of
him, y
