e £ j expected soEOBthing to be given to support her « iiofthel » onsa , but Lancaster smuggled &a order , Smed by Mr .

The fallowing resolutions wer « very ably handled by several speakers and unanimously adopted : L Thai ihi" meeting views ¦ with contempt and
abhorrence , tiie bass conduct of the relieving officer , a c * asiDR » movher w be Beparvtad from her ciiUirea , because £ he has the misfortune to be poor ; and farther , they consider he is a tyrant of the very worst description , and incapable of honestly fulfilling the common duties of life , much more of doing justice in an office involving the happiness of all our iestime poor . " 2 . " That this meeting considers ths Poor La . * Amendment Act , Vo be one of the aos cruel , unjust , and unfeeling laws that ever was « aeted in an enlightened nation .

" He replied , " Yes , that is what 1 strnck the old woman with , and I received a violent blow myself at the same time . "
Witness produced the barrel and stock found in Mrs . Scorer ' s hous ^ . The barrel is bent CroiS-fxamined—Womack -was present during this eonver ^ atiun , and mast have heard it . Re examined—Womack was close at hand , and might have heard it . Mr . John Otter Blythman—I saw Mrs . Scorer on the 29 th of January . 1 found a wound on the heid about three inches long , which had been cut down to the bone , both arms were very much bruised and black , both her knetsa were also bruised—there was a slight uiseolonration on the eyes . She complained of pain in the bead , great weakness , and she shivered very much . Her pulse was low and weak at the time . 1 continued to attend her until h ^ r death , twice a day . I did the
best for her according to my ability . I first apprehended il&ngvr about tbe fifth day . She died on tbe 9 th of February . I afterwards examined the body . 1 first examined the huad , and found the cut I have described down to the bone , and the bone itself chipped . I removed the hairy scalp , and found other two bruises —one on the front of her head , and another more considerable behind . I opened the bead , and found on th . 8 right gida about three ounceB of coagulated Wood , extending in a line fiom the outward wound down to the base of the brain . The pressure of the blood on tke dura mater had produced an indentation of the brain . I attribute , her dtath to this circumstance , produced by external violence . The weuml was such as might have been caused by the end of a gun stock .
Cross-examined—I made & strict examination of the brain , which occupied an hour . A portion of tbe extravasation of biood would take place at the time the blows were inflicted . My assistant was first called in—he has been a year and a half from a druggist ' s shop . Stupor usually follows oppression of tke brain , bnt not invariably so . John Wood was called , but his evidence was corroborative of that formerly given . At the close of the case for the prosecution , Mr . Roebuck and Mr . Wilkins addressed the Jury in eloquent speeches , and called several witnes ses who gave the prftoners excellent characters as peaceable , inoffensive men . The Learned Jcdge said the charge of murder was certainly not « ustai » ed , and then summed up in reference to the charge of manslaughter .
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter against Hepworth , and found Eastwood gaily of aiding and abetting . Tbe sentence has not reached us .

Watertoa , Esq ., of Walton Hall , in tho occupation of Mr . Wordsworth , at Walton , in the West-Biding , | armed with guns , for the purpose of taking and destroying game . Mr . Monteith and Mr . Pickering appeared for the prosecution ; Mr . Roebuck and Mr . W ilk ins defended the prisoners .
On the night mentioned in the indictment the preserves of the prosecutor , who resides near WakofleUl , were entered , between twelve and one o ' clock , by four men , three of whom were armed with guns , and the other had with him a dog and a bludgeon . The head keeper , accompanied by three watchers , was going his round , and they saw four men in Suav clos « , where , after watching secretly for some time , they saw Speight go uid'talce up two nets , which were laid against the fence and the gate . On seeing this , the keeper went towards him , when Speight called out that , if he did not stand off , he would shoot him . The other three
men then joined Speight , and were asked by the gamekeeper if their guns were loaded , to which they replied that they were ready for anything . The men then left the field , daring the watchers to follow them , and presented their guns . The watchers , finding themselves unequal to cope with the poachers , allowed them to escape Speight was well known to the keeper ; but the proof of identity against the others was very slight—they being only spoken to by one of the watchers as being amongst the party . Another circumstance against Speight was that , when apprehended at his house the same morning , hiB clothes were found besides the fireplace quite wet
In summing np , the Learned Queen ' s Counshl Informed the Jury , that , in order to convict , they must be satisfied that the prisoners were all of the party , inasmuch aa Speight was indicted for having been in the grounds with the other prisoners , who had not been satisfactorily identified . The Jury accordingly , under the direction of the Court , returned a verdict of Not Guilty . C / utrles Speight waa then charged , on another indictment , for having committed the same offence , together with other persons unknown : The same evidence was adduced , and he was found Guilty , and sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve months .

EDLEY V . FOOTIT AND OTHERS . Messrs ; cresswell cnri Pashley ¦ were for the plaintiff ; Mr . DDHBAS and Sit ( J . LEW IN for the defendants . The action was in trespass , and the declaration charged tho defendants with having illegally entered the house and workshop of the plaintiff , on the 16 th and 17 th of April , and taken therefrom divers goods and chattels belonging to him ; tha defendants suffered judgment to pass by dtfault ; the only question , therefore , was to the assessment of damages .

I have also to inform you that Mr . George Maynard , of Cove , near Farnborough , carrier , naving witnessed the effect of Blair ' s Pills on me , and boing himself attacked with Gout , tried the Pills , and obtained immediate relief .
