warm aiscusnon . . Public Gthkameu ik the Rkgbsi ' s Park . —The Cammissioners of Woods and Forests have erected a gymnasium on the ground at the foot of Primrosehill , which will be open to the use of the public under certain regulations . Fasle ItEpiaropA Morbsr . —East week wecopied anscco-intofafriple murder which was reported to have taken place at Foot ' s Cray , in Kent , the report appeared in the « M orning Chronicle , '' Morn-2 ° * IF ^ Al ' Morning Post , ' on Friday morning . The Observer' of Sunday says . ' : — 'From theexceedingly tragic characterjof the details , the repert , as might be expected , excited a great sensation . Anxious to procure the most accurate and copious
particulars , a centieman was immediately dispatched tothephce . where the dreadful deed was said to have been committed . On ha arrival at Foot ' s Cray , he was surprised to find that not only was tre who ' estory afabrication , but that the simple villagers , tvmoved from the sphere of the daily press , bad not even heard the report of the atrocious crime allege i m have been perpetrated almost at their own artts . 'I hey one and all expressed the greatest surprise at the circumstance of any one having represented their peaceful and innocent locality to have been the scene of so great an enormity . On inquiry it was ascertained that there are j . o such persons in the village as Ellen Lawson and her two children ; neither , is there any inn with the sign of'The The
Plough . ' whole story , so circumstantially deecrib d . owes its existence to the inventive faculties of the writer . A more heartless hoax was never practised on the public . It is difficult to conceive what could have been the objects of the . person who has bceu guilty of thus outraging the feelings of the e t re community . The police , as well as the public , were deceived by the minuteness with , which the painful details were given respectinff the murder . Na fe ^ er than fire gentlemen from London visited the place , in tin course of the day , for the purpose of learning the particulars , and were as much surprised as cur reporter in finding tbe Tillage of Foot ' s Cray m lU usual state of perfect calm , instead of being in * the state of utmost consternation / in which tbe inventor of the audacious hoax represented it to be .
Oae of the persons who went to make inquiries was mUlt > d a tecond time by a gentleman he met in the neighbourhood of Foot's Cray , who told him that the crime had actually been committed , but that it was at the village of Wilmington , a place three or four miSesdistant . and at which there is an inn with the 8 i * n of' The Plough . ' Thither the party went , but found that ( he second report was as groundless as the first . Va-ions other persons left tomi with , the view of procpedinc to Foot ' s Cray , to learn the state of ihatu-rs ; bat ascertained , at different points of the journey , that the story was a piece of pure invention from beginning to end . The public will be glad , to learn that every effort will be-made in the proper quarter to discover the author , of the fabrication , and confident hopes are entertained that they will be successful . No pamshment ' could be raffi-

LANCASHIRE . Thb Operative Factor * DawoATKBot Lancashire , assembled at Manchester , on Sunday , came to a resolution in accordance with tha announcements of their intentiens to stop working . There were twenty-four towns or districts 'represented , and three resolutions were come to : —I . To send a deputation to the masters of Ashton to endeavour to induce them to withdraw their notice of reduction of wages . 2 . That in the event of this deputation being unsuccessful , to strike labour throughout the whole of the districts on the 21 st inst . 3 . That four delegates he appointed to proceed te London to represent to government the state of the cotton trade , and urge noon them the necessity of relaxing tbe rates of
discount now charged by the Bank of England , and thereby afford greater facilities to trade .

Gray , rector of Haslingden , whoii also a magistrate , had committed suicide by cutting his throat .

A razor was fonnd in his hand . No reason can be assigned for the rash act . Deceased was about sixty vears of age .
Irish Pauper Immigration—The stiwnfcqf Irish immigration into Liverpool has again set-in . at a fearful rate . Last month the total number of arrivals was 10 . 369 persons . Within the last fertnight they hare been on the increase ; the numbers arrived being 8639 persons landed up to the 17 th inst , or 511 per day against 345 in the previous month . Since the 15 th of January , when Mr Bowling , the high constable , first kept a record of the daily arrivals , 282 , 675 immferants have arrived m Liverpool , of whom , with the exception of those who have proceeded to America , and the few who have returned
at our expense to their own country , the hulk are scattered about the country . Maschbster . —Thb SwraDLHto Case—Charles Walter Fifeclarence . an account of whose impostures was given in tbe Star , a short time ¦ since , in having obtained foods from Manchester tradesmen , by falsely representing himself to be 'the Hon . Charles ; Walter Fitxelarenee , captain of the 11 th Hassan , ' was brought up for trial on Monday , at the Manchester Barongh Sessions , on the charge of false pretences , and pleaded guilty . He was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment in Lancaster Castle .
Liverpool . —The Conkectioh of Marine Store Dealers with Crime . —Monday a case came on for hearing at the police court , which unfortunately showed the intimate connection which some , at least , of the marine store dealers of that town hare with the felonies which are being constantly perpetrated within the precincts of the borough . Two wretched-looking children , apparently in the last stage of disease , who gave' their names as Michael Keegan and Honor Keegan , brother and sister , were brought before MrKushton , on a charge of having been concerned in therobbery of a variety of agricultural produce , and Richard Saville was , at the same time , brought up and , charged , as a marine store dealer , residing at No . IS ,. Sparling-street , with
having received the same , knawing it to be stolen . Some idea of the extent of the robberies—for they were effected at various times and from several warehouses—maybe learned from the foHo wing detail of them , which . was handed to the court . A barrel of oats , a barrel of wheat , a portion of a bag of split pew , a barrel of Indian corn , end seven bags of Indian wheat . The children were seen to enter Saville ' s premises on Saturday , with about eleven pounds of India * corn in a bag , and though no portion of the remainder of the stolen property was as yet discoverable , yet there was : very little donbt upon the mind of the officer that all of itbad fonnd its way to Saville ' s store . The warehousemen , who gave evidence as to the quantity missed from the premises of their employers , stated that entrance had been effected in most instances by breaking the padlocks on the onter doors , and then cutting away the boarded partitions which separated the rooms { rem
the staircases . Mr Ruahton ordered the prisoners to be remanded , and in doing so informed Mr Dowling and the officers that no expense eught to be spared in unravelling the whole of the circumstances connected with the present most important case to the Etreanti ' e community . It was essential to the p ^ iee themselves that they should leave no stone unturned to ascertain all the particulars , connected with it . It appeared pretty plain that if they could now succeed in cutting off the source , they wonld also succeed in cutting off the effect of tbe crime in the borough , for here were two wretched children about to be made into confirmed thieves by the villainy of their seniors in understanding aswell as in years . Saville , he understood , was the successor of a man , in the same street , who had been carrying on a similar nefarious game to the present , but he must be checked , exposed , and , if proof was forthcoming , punished .
YORKSHIRE . Mr Coitoei ? . —A correspondent ef the Stoetport Advertiser asserts that , ' ia the event of Mr Cobden ' s electing to sit for the West Riding of Yorkshire , it is intended to contest the seat for Stockport on the Conservative interest , by an influential free-trader of Conservative opinions . ' BieAiir axd thb Scotch Law of Marriage . — A curious case of bigamy came before the Huddersfleld magistrates last week . Mr Jonas Hellawell , the nan of a respectable tradesman in Hudderafield , was sent in his yonth to study medicine in Glasgow . He completed his studies in 1835 : ' During the latter part of the time he was residing in Glasgow he lodged at the house of a Mr Nicol . who had two daughters , the
eldest of whom proved enceiate ,. and Mr Hellawell was the reputed father of the child . When this circumstance was discovered , Mr Hellawell removed to other apartments , but continued to visit Miss Nicol regularly afterwards . ' A consultation was held by the family , to know what must be done with respect to Miss Nicol ' s situation , when it was decided that her brother John should invite Mr Hellawell to take coffee with him one evening ; which he did . Tins was in 1833 . At this meeting there were present Mr and Mrs Nicol , their two daughters , their son John , and . Mr Hellawell . The old gentleman began to speak Of Margaret's being likely soon to become a mother , when , it is alleged , Mr Hellawell remarked , ' . Oh , Mr Nicol , we are married ; are we not ,
Margaret V To which she replied , * Yes / * Then , ' said Mr Nicol , ' we trill say no more about it . ' It is said he neither asked when , nor where , nor how . Since that period Mr Nicol and his son are dead ; and now , after a period of fifteen years , a charge of bigamy is brought against Mr Hellawell because he has refused to advance money for the maintenance and education ofthe ' child , now nearly fifteen years old . In 1838 Mr Hellawell established himself as a practising surgeon in Huddersfield ; , in 1841 he married a lady of some fortune in that town , and which marriage took place openly and publicly in the parish church , and was proclaimed to the world in all the local
newspapers . ' . By this marriage Mr Hellawell has a boy about four years old , but his wife'died in March , 1815 . The prosecutrix states that she had no idea that he had got married nntil about- eight months since ; she states that during this long period she never received a letter from Mr Hellawell ; but had herself frequently written to him . —A professienal gentleman from Glasgow appeared before the bench to expound the Scotch , law of marriage , which he divided into regular and irregular marriages . This , he stated , was an irregular marriage ; but ; according to the laws of Scotland , stood good . When the whole evidence had been summed up , and the defence made , the bench stated that their decision was to hold Mr
Hellewall to bail , himself in a surety of £ o 0 , and two others of £ 25 , to answer the charge at the York assizes . The decision was received by the audience with no little surprise .

Collision it Ska . —Thb SmuRR VxuarjAW ) and the MufSBVA . —The following are the particulars of a fearful collision which took place between the Vanguard steamer , and tbe Minerva last < night ,. off Gorsewell Point ; ' Vanguard steam ship , 16 th Oct . 2 am . —The Vanguard , with upwards of twenty cabin and as many steerage passengers , having a light cargo , when ( opposite Gorsewell Light ; about 11 p . m ., going to the rate of 12 } knots an hour , the night being very clear , with little wind and . a calm sea , a steamer was seen-ahead , our course being at the time about S . W . In a few minutes after the
ateamer hove in sight , which proved to be the Minerva , from Dublin , she was observed making her course straight forour starboard . A collision seemed inevitable , while the crew of the Vanguard did all in their power to avert the coming danger . It would be impossible to describe , the feelings . that filled the breasts of those oa deck at the time . On the two vessels first meeting the bowsprit of the Minerva went through the starboard bow of the Vanguard ; and , again , on passing , came . a tremendous crash on the same side of' the vessel , causing the utmost consternation to all on board : Dke passengers , including three or four ladies , had mostly
retired to bed at the time of the collision , but were speedily on deck habited in their night dresses . Application was madefor the boats of the Minerva but no answer , was returned from that , vessel . From the commencement ofthe rencontre the people ofthe Vanguard , particularly the black youths from below , were the most anxious to quit the ship , which was thought a bad omen regarding our condition . Although very much crashed we made no water , the damage done being about three feet above water ; nevertheless onr captain deemed it prudent . to return to the Clyde . A minute was drawn ont . and signed by a majority of the passengers , expressive of their approval of the conduct of the captain and ¦
crew . ..-. > .-Nairn . —A new breakwater has been built at the port of Nairn .. The erection is of wood and stone , and jute oat seaward loir 1 , 200 feet , with a slight angle at its onter end . It cost £ 3 , 000 , and has been prodnotive of the greatest benefit to the shipping interests of Nairn . The port has a northern exposure ; - and before the erection of the breakwater , vessels lying in the bay , or at the month of the river , were subject to great peril in north and north-east winds . No other winds raise a sea , and the hew pier affords a complete shelter from the storms formerly dreaded . Fonca oj inn Sea dubiso THuasiur ' a Gale—The force of the waves at the Bell Rock during the late gale from the south-east , as indicated br the marine dynamometer ( records ef which are daily registered ) , was 2 , 87 ilbs ., or upwards of \\ ton per superficial foot , being the greatest result , obtained since October , 1844 , when a nearly similar force was indicated ; .

' At an early hour this morning the peasantry from the surroundingloc alities flocked inmulititudinous masses to the focus of attraction , and at the hour of twelve o ' clock the . hill , of .

The meeting was held on that part of the mountain which is nearest the Oroom road , and on its highest summit the people took their ' stand to proclaim their miseriesand make known their wants .

Mr Fetherstone presented himself before the hungry assemblager and told them that he as an individual could not take upon himself any responsibility beyond his' province . He would feel delighted to act in concert with the gentlemen ot the country and do all in his power to mitigate the wants of the poor . They were aware that the new ppor law provided that all the able-bodied paupers would enter the workhouse of each union ; and that the aged , the infirm , and the
deorepid would be set at large to be supported by out door relief under the authority of the new poor-law .: ¦ .

' When the cattle were driven into the little hamlet of Rockhill the people were all astoanded at such an unusual exhibition , and every
farmer-in the neighbourhood viewed it with alarm , each apprehensive . lest his own cattle might be taken ; The people we ' re again met by the Rev .

We learn from the parish priest of Miltown Malbay , the KevvMr MfMahon , that nearly all the lafwaring population ef his parish—whose existence even in the most plentiful seasons was a very , wretched one—are without employment . Eight hundred families have not , at the present moment , any visible means of support ; except 6 y secsnd digging the potatoe fields for the purpose of collecting a scanty' meal ; at which work thoy may be seen in groups of one or two hundreds' : ; : ; ,

Distress and Excitement in Mato . — An alarm was created in this town ( Castlebar ) last week , by the report that 50 , 000 people from the west had determined on entering Castlebar , to demand work or food . The report is now current that they will come in this week .. One thing . ascertain , the people are determined not to die for vfant , without making an effort to redress themselves . We have been furnished with a copy of a placard addressed to the'Men bf Cestello , '' calling upon them to meet in Ballaghaderrin , on Monday next ; the 18 th instant , to petition Parliament to grant means to support the people during this year , and to reclaim the waste lands of
Costello ; also for a Landlord and , Tenant Bill , giving the tenant the land . for a fair value , with a perpetuity while he pays his rent ; , and to remonstrate against the immediate payment of the late relief money .

STATE OP KASTUBK . A correspondent of the Cork Examiner , writing from Kanturk , under the date ef October 13 . gives a ' frightful account of the state of the poor in that neighbourhood . He says the 13 th being board-day , there were a good number of the guardians met . The hungry creatures became so clamorous for food , that the soldiers were obliged to be sent for . One of these poor fellows touched , either by intention or otherwise , one ofthe ex-officion He was immediately
put m irons . .. There were 400 . admitted this . day . < There was also a large concern taken that would . accommodate 300 more . In addition to this , the consumption of out-door relief for the week will be ' over forty ions of meal .: This will give an idea of our situation in Duhallow .. We are entering on a season of the most fearful foreboding ; the poor without clothes , food , or shelter ; no friend scarcely to feel for them except the , kind-hearted landlord , who orders them off his lands . ' and but of his sight , that he iriight not see nor hear from thein . ' '

Tommy Dbwnshire , ' the northern Captain Rock , is beginning to move .

' ¦¦ ¦ In another northern county- ; the same spirit of resistance is exhibited , as will be seen by the following extract'from tteMonaghan"Standard ' : — '' "
'There isat ' present a wide-spread desire' ainong the peasantry nnd farmers of this county to avoid , and if necessary to resist , the . payment of the : rates which have gust been struck , in the various unions by the respective boards of gnardians-rnot , however , that the people ' wish to escape the legitimate burden of the poor of the connfy , but because tbey conceive that the major part of the heavy rate is destined to repay the relief , such as it was , afforded to this part of the empire during the late national calamity . ' . , , ; ; It appears from the . Tipperary Vindicator , that the farmers in some parts of . theNenagh Union are still opposing the payment of the poor-rate , and that the collectors in the Templederry division have been hunted off , and , in some instances , ' compelled to eat the notices .

nEMAKDS FOR OUT-nOOB RELIBP ., .. . : The Cork Examiner contains an account ofthe proceedings of the Kantiirk' board of guardians bri Tuesday ^ which shows that the district is in an alarmingstate .- ' . ., n ¦ > . ¦ ¦¦¦ ¦ -. . ¦ i- That journal , says : — ' From a representation to the authorities that a popular demonstration'was intended , and violence apprehended , if out-door relief were nut mated to the able-bodied , two companies of the 26 th , under Captain Parke , and a large police force under Mr Wade , were drawn tip inside the
entrance : gate .: J . Baily , Esq .,: R .

OPPOSITION TO THB PAYMENT Op RBNTSi ¦ . ln Mayo ,. and some other parts of the western province , there appears to be a regular scramble for the crops between the chief landlords ( who are generally weighed down by . embarrassments ) , the middlemen , and the farmerg ^ large . and small ; In all directions keepers arewatching . the crop s , to prevent their removal ; and the peasantry , upon the other hand , are exerting their ingenuity to makelaway with the produce , whilst the collectors of the poor-rate find it almost impossible to obtain anything for the support of the . desfiture .. . The result of all this
contention is , that little , cither of rents or rates , ' is paid . In one instance an agent—himself a man of ' station and property—has determined to abandon the agency of an estate in Mayo , the rental of which is £ 10 , 000 per annum , on account of the impossibility of col lectrag rents from the multitude of small occupiers . Of this extensive estate some thousands of acres are held by persons in the rank of gentry , who pay . a very small aoreablerent ; and who ; in ordinary years have derived large incomes from the lub-tenants ' Those ! parties , are paying their ' jrents pretty ; well * because , if arrears were allowed , to accumulate ' the sort of estate they possess would be lost by bjeet ' - inent . . .: ; ' , ' ¦ ' .

MAUSION-HOU 8 E . —Abmjctiok . — William Henry E & vanagb , of Brentwood Ball , Essex , aged 40 years , was brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of abduction . Nearly three months ago a respectable family , resident In the neighbourhood ot St Paul ' s , was thrown Into ' the greatest distress by the disappearance of the eldest daughter . Advertisements appeared in the newspapers upon the subject , and at length , it was ascertained that the girl bad been , betrayed and ruined by the defendant , who was unknown to her relation * , but had prevailed upon her to leave her father ' s house by promising to marry'her . The girt suddenly appeared before her father a few day * ago , and after having , in the most afftetlng manner , expressed her sorrow and contrition , said she had been abandoned by tbe man for whom she . bad made ' so great a sacrifice , and who had seat her the following letter , in which was inclosed the
lib ; ral present of £ 5 to comfort and support her . It appeared that Mr Kavanagh had paid his attentions to her under the name of Kent . * Dover , Sunday erenlng , . 'My dear , —Lizzie , —All has turned out as I feared . I have travelled 210 miles here , and when jou receive this I shall not be in England . Do not fret . I am too distracted to advise you . Ton had better , however , leave— - at once , and go to anywhere ( perhaps Gravesend ) as you will be alone , and where you can be econo . mlcal . You say I sent for you to come at once , and thus leave without any questioning . But do any other thing you may think best , but I am puzzled what to do myself , oxcept to get out of the way . I am only tno hflurs sail from Boulogne in France . I enclose you a part of little all , and know not what to do except to ask you to forget and forgive your unhappy H . < Do what you please with anything yon find left . '
The letter was addressed ' Mrs K » nt , No . — , ' Dukestreet , Portland-place , London . ' By the instrumentality of tbe bank-note . the real name and address of Mr Kavanagh was discovered . The father of the girl ascertained at the Bank that the note , which was numbered 18 , 419 , and bore date September 18 th , had been paid at the establishment on the 9 th lastant , to William Henry karsaagh , Esq ,, of the Adelaide Hotel ,: London-bridge . Application ' was made to Inspector Todhunter , who finding that all the girl ' s clothes had disappeared when she left the house , readily directed one of his m « n to apprehend and bring the offender to tho Mansion-house . It was 8 ooo found that Hr . Kavanagh ; instead of having left town for France , bad slept at the Adelaide Hotel on Sunday night , and that he bad contrived to get tbe letter
he addressed to Mrs Kent , and containing the £ 5 , put Into the ' Do ' verpoBt . office . The father of the girl stated that on ; tbe 27 th' 6 f July the prisoner took away his daughter from home , without his knowledge , and until Wednesday last she was not seen by any ef her family . The girl took with her most of her clothes , and tfeoy Were found at the lodging in . Duke-Btreet , Bud CCnvejed to" the « tallou-boase .

Mr . Hanbury , a friend of the complainant , said the defondant , upon being asked at the station-house whether the letter addressed to Mrs Kent , ; i » nd signed 'H , ' was In his handwriting , said at once that it was . ( the letter
was evidently laboured for the purpose of escaping detection . ) The defendant said he had writen it in a state of desperation . There must have been some subtlety in getting the letter posted at Dover . John Daris city policeman , 554 , stated that he called at the house in Duke-street , in which ar Kavanagh and the lady resided , and he brought away the articles of dress balonategto . the . lady .. The landlord of the house in Dukestreet , in which the defendant resided with the lady stated that She was Introduced as the wife of the defend anfc They had the drawing-room . The father ofthe girl said he had every reasons suppose that the defendant
was a ^ rnau of large proparty , and a member of some of tne clu > nouseB at tbe west end of the town . Tbe Lord Mayor : Well , Mr Kavanagh , do yoa wish to say anything upon , this subject ? The defendant shook bis head . The Lord'Maybr- ' Tour name is Kavanagh , I suppose ? " The ' defendant said nothing . The Lord Mayor : Are you a married or a single man ?—The defendant : A single man . The father of the girl said it had been ascertained that the deftndtmthaa lodged In the neighbourhood of his house , for the purpose of accomplishing his object , for three months . The Lord Mayer ; Defendant ; you con use your own d ' iscre iIoh as to offering anything in explanation . The
defendant : Those articles which it is presumed Ihavt stolen , were never out ot the possession of they buog lady . They belonged to her , and were censtantly in her possession .. I . must say that she was never without money . She has had £ 20 at a time in , her pocket ' and hasneverbeenwlthoutmoney up to the timeof her dis covery by her father ; I have been very roughly treated I have betn . confined all the night In the station-house " and dragged through the streets 'like a felon .

SOUTH WARE . —Cha » ob aoaihst a Schooimabtsb —Mr John Munday , one of the masters of tbe Bermondsey parochial schools , was summoned for axercising undue severity towards John Block , a little boy seven years of age , one of his scholars . —The boy Iwing of too tender an age to be sworn , his mother was , therefore , called forward , and from , her statement of , the case it appeared , that on Friday last her child returned home from school crying , and on being . questioned , he described that he had ^ been very much beaten by the de . fendant . One side of his face and ear were very much swollen and red , and there was a slight wound behind tbe latter , as if he had been strack with considerable violence . He also exhibited marks of being flogged .
The defendant admitted that he punished him in the usual way , with a rod , but that he bad no recollection of having struck him in the face . ^ -He was then asked if he had witnesses to prove that he did not strike the child a blow , butherep' . ied in the negative , remarking that he thought he did not require any witnesses . The magistrate said hewas of opinion that unnecessary severity had been used , that if the correction of the rod only had been carried into effect there wonld not have been room for much complaint ; but when it was evident that the child had in addition to thai been struck with violence in the face , it was conduct on the part of a schoolmaster highly censurable . He ( the magistrate ) should , therefore , inflict a fine of forty shillings and costs on the defendant .
HAMMERSMITH . — Attbhh to hoel a Man raou A ScaFFOLU .-Michael Flannighan , an Irish labourer , charged with having anaulted Samuel Hart , the foreman of tbe bricklayers engaged in the erection of a new workhouse at Kensington . —It appeared that the prisoner was employed by Mr Burton . On Monday morning he came to his work at seven o ' clock instead of six o ' clock , and Mr Hart lest eight of him again from the works before eight o ' clock , not having been at work quite half an hour . From that time he was not again seen nntil one o ' clock , when , on tbe return of the workmen from their dinner , tho prisoner presented himself , and said he should take the whole of that day for a holiday . Mr Hart told him that he might take that day and the following days for holidays , as he had already
put a fresh man on ia his place . Mr Hart then ascended the ladders to the top scaffold , ft height of about forty feet , and about a quarter ef an hour afterwards the prisoner went to him there and demanded payment for an hoar ' s work he said he had done in the morning . Mr Hart told bim he must go to the office for it , but he refused to do so , and seized hold of Mr Hart by one of his arms and his throat , and threatened that he would thus hnrl him from the scaffold . A fearful straggle then took plaee between Mr Hart and the prisoner , the latter trying to force him towards tbe edge ef the scaffold . Mr Hart , however , by a great effort on his part , fell against a part of tbe back wall , where it was about twe feet above tbe scaffold ; and at that juncture the men ft em all parts of the building rushed to his assistance , and overpowered tho prisoner , who was instantly given into custody . —Mr Painter asked Mr Hart , whose evidence
was fully corroborated by two of the bricklayers , if he wished the case should go for trial . —Mr Hart said it would be a great inconvenience to him if it was sent for trial ; He would prefer leaving it in the hands of tbe court . —The prisoner , . in answer to the charge , said he was entitled to be paid for the hour he had worked which was all he asked Mr Hart ; but as to having had an idea of throwing the complaint off the scaffold , he would put It to the magistrate whether it was likely he would do so when he knew it was nearly forty feet high 1—Mr Payuter satd the case was a very serious one , and if tho prisoner were committed for trial , his punishment would ha very severe , it being an attempt to destroy life . As Mr Hart declined to prose * cute , hecauld only Inflict tbe verj inadequate punish , ment of a fine of £ 5 or two months' imprisonment , —The prisoner was committed in default of payment .

Beared in an unaccountable manner , and from circumstances that recently transpired it bec & me clearly msnifest that his aoa , whom he had always treated with tbe greatest kindness and affection , had been privy to its abstraction . About three weeks ago , the boy suddenly absconded from home ; but was shortly afterwards recovered : and witness resorted to the extreme measure
of chaining him up , to separate him effectually from the depraved associates with whom be was connected ; he contrived , however , to effect his escape by dropping into the street , and , having returned the next morning ; before the family were up , carried off a quantity of property . Witness at length lost all hope of his reclamation , and proceeded to a house of Infamous character , where he understood he was harboured , and gave him into custody . In consequence of some subsequent in . formation , he repaired to the shop of the prisoner Thorne , and questioned him as to whether he had not been in the habit of purchasing boot-fronts from a boy , at the rate of a shilling per pair , when their actual cost price was 2 i . 3 d , The prisoner , after some hesitation , admitted that for four or five months Past , a little boy had brought such goods to his house two or three times a week , but said that he h » d given more for them than the price specified by tho fitness ; and , on being asked if he had any then by hw acknowledged that he
had , and produced about thr e 8 pair , which witness identified , by a private mark , as his property . Tho witness then called in a policeman , who was waitin ? outside , at whoso appearance the pri « onor pulled oat several others , from a recess beneath the shop-window and a back room , which he confessed having sought in a similar manner . The period daring which the prisoner admitted having purchased the stolen propor ' . y exactly corresponded with the length of time his son had pursued dishonest courses , and the witness empha * tically observed , 'if the prisoner had not acted as a receiver , tbe poor boy would never have been a thief . ' A lad named Henry Hazel proved having accompanied the young ( r prisoner , who had some b ' oot-fronts in his possession , to Thome ' s shop , which he left' without item , and stated that he had sold them there . ' Mr Arnold said that he should certainly ' send tho case for trial , hit would , in the meantime , consent to an extension of tn ^ bail already put in for tbe elder prisoner ' s future OP " pearance .
