ATTEMPTED MURDER BY POACEIERS.  A determined attempt to murder has been made at Brinsworth, near Sheffield, by a notorious gang A poachers. The men, who hail from Carbrook and Attereliffe, have been in the habit of ranging the Tinsley district in search of game for several weeks past, and they have openly defied the gamekeepers, one of whom they often threatened to murder. On Sunday they tried to carry out this threat. At a quarter past one o'clock in the afternoon, the men—thirteen in number—assembled in Front of the tollgate-house, at Brinsworth, occupied by George Beaumont, assistant gamekeeper to Mr. H. Harrison, J.P., who has the right of shooting over the land in the neighbourhood. The poachers, who were armed with bludgeons and had several dogs with them, used many violent threats, and then commenced to throw stones into the house. The inmates—Beaumont, his wife, and two children—did not show themselves until the ruffians had grown tired of their pastime, when Beaumont left the house and followed the men down the road, sending his son meanwhile to Tinsley for the police. he men, after walking along the Brinsworth road for about 300 yards, struck into a footpath leading to Car. brook, but after going a short distance they turned round and attacked Beaumont ferociously. Four of the men seized him, wrenched a gun he held in his hand from his grasp, and beat him about the head and body with bludgeons until he fell stunned, exhausted, and almost covered with blood. Not satisfied with their savage work, the men added to it by kicking their victim on the face and body; and one of the gang, although he saw the gamekeeper was apparently lifeless, urged his coin: panions to renew the attack, saying, "If he is not done for, let us go bark and finish the The ruffians immediately made off, however, and the gamekeeper was f und lying on the footpath shortly af erwards by his wife, who had followed the men, fearing that they would do some injury to her husband. The neigbbouring residents soon heard of the occurrence, and assisted in removing Beaumont to his home. It was then found that he had sustained many very serious injuries, which have placed his life in je, pardy. Not only was his left arm broken in two pla es, but his head was covered with shocking wounds, one of which extended from the right eye to the tempt, and is about two inches in depth. his right eye is also so seriously injured that it is probable he will lose the sight of it, even if he recovers from his other injuries ; and his body is so badly bruise I that the poor fellow cannot stir without great pain.
