MURDEROUS ASSAULT UPON GAMEKEEPERS NEAR DERBY.—A murderous assault has been committed on two assistant gamekeepers in the employ °E William Mundy, Esq., of Markeaton Hall, near Derby, named Joseph Dickenson and Joseph Dickenson, jun., father and son, the latter of whom received serious injuries. It appears that on the afternoon in question two young men, named Robert Brookhouse and Stoddard, sons of Derby tradesmen, left Derby with guns, Brook' house having a certificate to shoot. On reaching Mack' worth they turned into a " spinney," when two farmers; gave information of the fact to the two Dickensons. The elder Dickenson went up to Brookhouse and said to hilt,' "Young fellow, what are you doing here? You know you are doing wrong. What is your name ?" Brookhouse gave his name,.but the keeper said he did not believe it to be the right one, and he should not let him ge until he had told him. He was going toward') Brookhouse, when the latter cocked his gun aocl, said, " Stand back you or I will shoot you. Dickenson, however, closed with Brookhouse, who struck him on the arm with the gun. The father called to his s°l3 to come to his assistance, and on the latter coming up Brookhouse hit him several violent blows on the hello, which felled him senseless to the ground ; indeed, so heavY were the blows dealt that both the gun barrel and stock were broken. Brookhouse was taken into custody by Sergeant Parsons, and on taking the prisoner towards Derby tho officer met Mr. Mundy returnine, to Markeaton Hall in his carriage, and on hearing whatb had occurred, he gq out and sent his carriage back to Derby for medical assistance. Dr. Taylor subsequently saw Dickenson, jun., and found an extensive wound on the head, although not of a fatal character. The injuries inflicted were, however, such that the doctor thought might bring on erysipelas, when the consequences might be serious. Brookhouse, who is well known, is 23 years of age.
