George ' si-i-the-east , kept by a German , where they found some broken Seltzer-water bottles that had contained snuff , aud an immense number ofthe same description of bottles filled with Miuff of foreign manufacture . It appeared that the hampers had been broaght from the docks to tho place , the German professing to be a dealer in mineral waters , and , there is no doubt , had regularly passed the Customs as su ^ -fa , and the bottles fonnd with that liquid had been ptesed on the tops of the hampers , and by these means they fc-d succeeded iu deceiving the Custom searchers . The offi .- crs then seized the whole stock , and proceedings will be instituted for the recovery of penalties to a large amount .

"ii « t > "JiBBMR at Sbkcastie . -A female or tne name of Jane Graham , who resides with her parents at the South Shore , was brought up on th e 19 th mst ., charged with attempting to murder her child , an infant about seventeen months old . It appears that on the previous afternoon the prisoner was observed on the road near to Benton-hridffe . with the child in her arms , and was seen to

      throw tho child over tbe battlements : it fell into a trougn filled with water , when tbe parties * ho had witnessed tbo transaction hastened to tbe spot , and took the child to a cottage , where it was put into a warm bath , and other means of resuscitation resorted to , with success . After hearing tbe evidence the prisoner was committed tor trial . Murder at Maidenhead , Bebks .-A shocking murder was perpetrated last week at Boyn-hill , a village near Maidenhead . A labouring man , named John Cannon , residing at Boyne-hill , has for tho last two years taken as a lodger a relative of bis wife , named Isaac Lee . who has always shown certain indications of weak intellect . Ih 0 llUiatio having been left in the house with a little girl about four years of age , a granddaughter of John Cannon ' s , ho cruellv murdered the poor child it is supposed by knocking its he ad against the floor , and afterwards kicking it about the room . Lee was taken before the magistrates , and committed to take his trial at the next assizes .

      Mobbbb is Bebbtshihe . —On Saturday last Selina Ride was committed for tbe murder of her illegitimate offspring . The facts of the ease are these : —On the 3 rd of December last two men discovered the body of a child in the canal , near the Derbv railway station . They immediately got the body out of the water , and foun > l it to be that of a girl about three years of age , with a brick wrapped in a cotton handkerchief , securely fastened round the child's waist , apparently to secure tbe body being sunk . A coroner' inquest was held , and a verdict of wilful murder returned against some person or persons unknown . Nothing occurred to throw any lig ht on the subject until last week , when a woman was apprehended on suspicion ef having murdered the child . Her name is Selina Ride ; her husband is a wheelwright by trade , and worked with his father , at the village of Weston Underwood , near Derby , at which place the noman was apprehended . On Saturday She was brought up for final examination at the

      policeoffice , Derby , before the Mayor ; and after hearing a quantity of evidence , which went to show that the murdered child was hers , and to lead to grave suspicions that sho was instrumental ia effecting its death , she was committed for trial on the charge of wilful murder . Chcbch Robbebt . —Information has been given that tbe parish church of Kilgarran , near Cardigan , had been entered and robbed of a silver communion cup , very old . and bearing the latin inscription "PocidumecclesiadeKillgtrati . " Dabiso Incendurt Fires . —Information bus been received that the stables , out buildings , and farm belonging to L * dy Terwytt , at Girtton , Salop , had been set on fire , and , together > ith a ; hrge quantity of farm produce , a pony , and several other animals totally consumed . Also that a number of hay stacks , of Lee H » U | "ff ooltOD , had been set on fire and seventy tons of hay destroyed . There was no doubt but that both fires were the work of incendiaries , and £ 200 is offered for such information as wilj lead to their detection .

      Fearfux asd Extensive Fibes oh the Nobth-Western Railwat Embankments . —In many places between Rugby , Watford , and London , the turf , shrubs , trees , < fcc , on tbe slopes of tbe North Western line of railway , are either burnt or are burning with remarkable rapidity . On Monday more than 100 burning plots were observed blazing , destroying every thing in its course , and defying the utmost efforts * of a number of men who were employed to extinguish the fire . Fibe at Lord Poktmax ' s Country Seat . —A fire broke out on Sunday nftcrnoon in the mansion of Lord Portman ,

      at Orchard Portman , a rural village near Taunton . A portion of the builuing was in course of repair , a new wing being about to + e added , but the remaining portion of the premises were occupied by Mr . Andrews , as steward to Lord Portman during his residence in town . It is supposed the fir

      ThR Cosdemsed Cokvicts at wiscbkstbh . —Tho neighbourhood of the County gaol has been throughout the day crowded by persons from all parts of the county , in expectation that the convicts Eyres and Komish , who were sentenced to death at the last assizes , would be executed as arranged . The scaffold was erected at the usual place of execution , and all the preliminaries had been effected for carrying out the sentence , when the governor received a comraanicaiion containing a respite for fourteen d . tys . This step has , we understand , resulted from an application that had been made to the Rome Office on tho convicts ' behalf , on the ground that they had been convicted chiefly on the testimony of one witness , aud that of a woman of bad repute . The application was referred to Mr . Justice Talfoard , and the result proves that the learned judge was not himself quite satisfied , from the fact that when he was on his way to Salisbury from this town , on the Sunday after the trial , he left his carriage on passing through Romsey , and , accompanied by a guide , visited the spot wbere the unfortunate man Soffe met with his death . The prisoners nersisted in their innocence .

      FatMi RMiiWAS Accibesj . —An accident , which resulted fatally , occurred on Monday on the Brighton , Chichester , and Portsmouth Railway . An old man named Scott , an agricultural labourer , while trespassing on the line , was struck by the 2 . 10 train from Brighton to Portsmouth , and instantaneously killed . The man , it appeared , was extremely deaf , and it is supposed did not hear the steam whistle which was sounded for some time previous to tbe occurrence of the accident . The coroner ' s jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death . " The Height of ImppdbkCB , —On Monday night , some audacious thief entered the house of Inspector Ledsam , of the Salford police , by means of skeleton keys , and contrived to steal Ss . in money , and three brooches . This makes the

      fourth time the same officer has had his house similarly entered during the past twelve months , and , what is more remarkah'e , the house is exactly opposite tbe principal entrance of the police office , distant from it something under a dozen yards—aud the inspector himself was on duty in the office at tbe very time 1 Mtsiehious Case . —On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held at Wadwortb , near Doncaster , before Mr , W . Marratt , coroner , and a respectable jury , on the body of a girl named Hannah Adams , aged nineteen years , who had come by her death under somewhat mysterious circumstances . The following declaration , made by the poor girl in the presence of a clergyman and magistrate , will explain the facts so far as they are known : —

      On Sunday , the 1 st of February , I was in the service of Mrs . Sheppard , of Balby . A little after seven o ' clock in the evening I had occasion to go Into the yard , when a man , to me unknown , got hold of me . I then made a noise , when another man , who was aim a stranger to me , put one hand over my month , and tbe other on the back of my head . They ( hen took me to a little gate in the { Tardea , through which they carried me to a lar # e gate in the croft below . They then threw me over that gate into a lane , when I screamed as I had done before until my mouth was stopped . After being thrown over the gate I got np and ran away , when they fol lowed and caught me Thej asked me if I had got any money , and I said , ' I had otAj 63 ., * which 1 gave to them . They then carried me along a lane hi to afield at the back of Mr . Dearden ' s house , wbere they threw me down , and one man held me while the other attempted o take liberties with me , I made all the resistance in my powerwhen one of them gat upon his knees , and poured «

      otne-, thing out of a bottle into my mouth , which eeemtd like boiling water—scalding my chin and burning my clothes . I was not able to get up , but they pulled me up and shook me about until I wai sick . I then became quite unconscious . ' and don't know what they did to me afterwards . When I came to myself they opened tho gate to let me out of tne field , when one of tbe men said to the other , * Let's cut her throat * I replied , ' For Qod ' a sake don't cut my throat , you have done plenty to me already . ' The other man said , « let her go , she ' s some poor hody'shairn . ' Tbe man who wanted to cat my throat then said , ' Go away with what thouhat't gotten / I went unc nsciously , without knowing which way I was going , until I not a little past Mr . Dearden ' s house on the turnpike road ; when , knowing that I should be looked out for at lfr « . Sheppard's , I walked home to Wadworth , where I arrived about halfpast twelve o ' clock at night , baring met Mrs . Sheppard > s man and the constable on ihe road .

      This statement was partially corroborated at the inquest , witnesses proving the disordered state of tbe girl ' s dress , and the appearance of vitriolic acid on her chin , and neck ; and it appeared from the testimony of one ofthe medical men that for the last fortnight the deceased had vomited portions of tbe mucons membrane and other viscera . The jury returned a verdict , " That the deceased had died from the effects of some mineral aeid on the stomach , but how administered there was cot sufficient evidence to show . " ' """ . . EccLBSiisncAi . Isqotbx at Hbbbfobd . —A commission

      has been issued by bis grace the Archbishop of Canterbury , addressed to the chancellor of tha diocese , the Rev , Canon Morgan , Rev . R . Lane Freer , and the Rev . John Yenn , authorising them , under the provisions of the Church Discipline Act , to inquire into and report upon several charges preferred against the Rev . Edward Thompson , D . B ., the vicar of Kington , with Huntington , Brilley , and Michael Church annexed . The charges have been brought forward by several ofthe reverend gentleman ' s parishioners , and the commissioners have arranged that ttw inquiry shall be opened at Hereford in the beginning of April . . . , ScM-flSBD MuBDKRg ix BAHHstBr . —On Wednegday moraine , aome . colliers whoreaidi on the premises formerly oc-

      cupied as the Woodman Inn , near Barnsley , started for their work ; when about twenty yards from their own doors , they found a female named Annie Lsycook , aged twentythree years , lying with her daughter Emily , aged ten months , in her arms , both of whom had their throats cut . The head of the cWld was nearly severed from its body . Deceased was married about three years ago to an excavator , named Thomas Smith , but in consequence of Smith having another wife , Laycock left him , and has since been cohabiting with a person named James Gledhill , a poacher . They resided in a batch of houses adjoining the Sheffield and Wakefield turnpike-road , about 200 yards from the place where the bodies were found . It is stated that he was in the habit of ill-using the poor woman . On Monday he was drinking at Barnsley , and when he went home he beat her so much that the neig hbours interfered , but not so as to prevent him from continuing his ill-treatment . Gledhill has been taken into custody .

      " CORMHO " A MMHSTRkTE BV A CLBRGTMiH . —A TOOSt CXiraordinary , novel , and exciting scene was witnessed at the Plordon station , on Saturday evening . When the five o ' clock train from Norwich arrived th-re , the passengers were much surprised at seeing the Rev . Mr . Moore , the curate of the parish , standing in the passage 01 the stationhouse , dressed in his canonicals . It was , however , soon understood that he was waiting there to " curse a neigh , bnuring magistrate , who was expected by the train , and who had given him some presumed offence . When the individual alluded to was giving up his ticket to the station master , the reverend gentleman thus addressed him : — " I inflict a curse upon this man . I curse you ; I curse your wife ; I curse your children ; I curse all you have—may your children be fatherless and vagabonds , and beg Jheir

      bread , " & e „ iic . ; and thus he went on until the « cursed man " drove off . We understand that the matter has been laid before the bishop ; and that the reverend gentleman , in default of finding sureties to keep the peace was committed on Sunday night to the castle , by Edward Howes , Esq!—Norwich Mercury . DlSTBBBANCSS AT THE GREAT WESTERN COTTON WORKS . — On Wednesday a case , which lasted the entire day , was heard in the Bristol County Court , arising out of a tumnltnous riot which occurred at the Great Western Cotton Works on the 29 th of February last . Mr . Nash appeared for the plaintiff , and Mr . Stone , ofthe western circuit , for the defendant . The action was broug ht to recover damages for an alleged assault and battery . The pleas for tlie defence were " Iht guilty and justification . " After hearing a

      great deal of very conflicting evidence , the jury ultimately returned a verdict for the defendant . The case created & great deal of interest , as , had this action been decided in favour of the workpeople , about fifty other actions would bave been brought against tbe managers . Mr . Ashworth on his way home was mobbed bj the people , and compelled to take temporary refuge in a public-house . Dangerous Pbacticb . —On Tuesday morning , Mr . Molyneanx , an officer of the customs at Plymouth , and his boat's crew were placed in a perilous position by the want of attention , it ia reared , on the part of an officer . Mr . Mo ! yneatix had been from Millbay to rrevonport , and was returning to Millbay ; on arriving between Drake ' s Island and the point at the Longroom Barracks , he saw a company of the 19 th Regiment in the act of firing at a target placed asusual at the point overhanging the sea . Mr . Molyneaux proceeded without any apprehension expecting that the bugle would be sounded and the customary notice for the

      soldiery to suspend the firing until the vessels or boats passing within range should have got beyond reach of danger . Instead of this notice beimr gipon ou Mr . Molyneax ' a boat passing , the trumpeter simply waved his hand , but which was taken no notice of by the officer in command , and the soldiers at this juncture fired ; the result was that several balls dropped near the boat , one of them passing right between th « man at the stroke oar and Mr , Molyneaux , who was at the helm , and who were only sitting about three feet apart from each other , the ball dropped about one foot on the other side of the boat . The men , as might be expected , were very much alarmed , Mr . tMolyneaux immediately pulled towards tie shore , and proceeded to have an interview with the commanding officer , to whom he told tbe circumstance , and the dangerous position in which he had been placed . Mr . Molyneaux has since put himself into correspondence with the commanding officer of the district , Major-General the hon . Henry Murray .

      The Late Oothaqb In Cure.—It Appears The...

      The Late Oothaqb in Cure . —It appears there are two claimants to the name of "Pierao Creagh , " residents ofthe county of Clare , and that the Mr . Creagh recently fired at was not the gentleman who is a candidate for ft seat in parliament . The magistrates of Tipperary have applied to government for a reduction ofthe police force in the county . Death of J , S . Townsexd , Esq . —Jo John Sealy Townsend , a retired Master in Chancery , and ono of the distinguished ornaments of the Irish bar in the days of its greatest brilliancy , died at his residence , Kilvara . near Dublin , on the 18 th inst ., at the advanced age of eighty-seven . He was the contemporary and competitor of Flunkett , Outran , Siurin , Bushe , Pennefather , & c . The shortest and the Ugliest assizes known in the county ofTipperary for » long series of years , closed on Saturday without a conviction for murder , or indeed for any very terious crime .

      The Limerick papers state that there has not been a single labouring man or woman able to work unemployed in that part of tne country for several weeks past . Emigration nevertheless proceeds at as great a rate as ever , and the price of berths in emigrant ships has been considerably raised in all the Irish ports . Loan Eolisotos ' s imsa Power . —Tho President and Fellows of the King and Queen's College of Physicians attended upon the Lord Lieutenant for the purpose of presenting to him tbe usual address of congratulation upon his Excellency ' s arrival in Ireland . '' Centralisation" and tho abolition of tho Viceroyalty formed the leading topic in the address . They failed , however , to draw bis Excellency out on the question pf abolition , as he makes no allusion whatever to it in his reply .

      Lord Haas ' s return fob Coleraisr . —The Belfast papers publish at considerable length the proceedings at Coleraino on Monday . Mr .

      Execution Of Kalabeugo For Murder. Oxfor...

      EXECUTION OF KALABEUGO FOR MURDER . Oxford . —The execution of William Knlaborgo for tho murder of his uncle took place on Monday morning at the Oxford Castle , in the presence of upwards of 10 , 000 spectators , who conducted themselves with great propriety and decorum . The convict was attended by two Roman Catholic priests , Dr . Tandy , of Bmbury , and D-. Faa , of Lsndon , and appeared very penitent and resi gned to his fate . Ho was assisted to tho scaffold by two turnkeys , and Calcraft , the executioner , lost no time in making the necessary arrangements , so that a few minutes after ei ght o clock tho drop fell and the culprit ceased to exist . The following statement made fay the prioner , in which is a full confession of his guilt , has been handed over for publication by Dr . Tandy , to whom it was communicated : — "Substance of disclosures made by tho convict William Kalabergo , in the county prison , Oxford , at various times , respecting the murder of John K'daberzo , in the interval between his condemnation and execution .

      " For a long time he ( William Kalabergo ) had desired to come to England , but bis uncle would not consent , until his brother-in-law Bonetti persuaded him . The uncle then wrote for him to come , but on condition of his being obedient and attentive to his religious duties and careful to avoid bad company . But soon after his arrival in Banbury he began to repent having come to his uncle , for he found him exceedingly strict and often very cross . Ho used to be always scolding him , and particularly when they sat down to their meals . He even went as far as to threaten to turn him out into tbe street . This exasperated the nephew , and at length the Devil put it into his head that if he were to kill the old man he should at once get rid of the torment , and obtain possession of his property as his heir . In pursuance of this design he purchased a pistol , with money whielt he had stolen from his uncle ' s shop ;

      besides tula he stole at other times about fifteen shillings iu money . This was found by the police when tbey searched his pockets and effects . He also stole two gold watches , three silver ones , some silver spoons , and a few other articles , all of which he hid in a nowly-made grave in tbe burial-ground attached to the Catholic Church of St . John , at Banbury . He next cast bullets when his uncle was from home : no one assisted him in this , and no one saw him do it . When he aud his uncle left home on Friday morning , January 9 th , he had made up his mind to do the murder on that journey , bathe had not fixed on the spot for that purpose . He committed the murder b y quietly coming behind his uncle , putting the murzle ofthe pistol closl behind his ear , and firing off one of the barrels . The old man fell on the instant , as he supposes , without being in the slightest degree conscious whose hand caused his death ;

      no urea tus second barrel at bis victim , as . be lay upon the ground . He did not touch tlio body , but ran away immediately . He saw no one near at the time , nor afterwards , till he met the person on the road , whom be described to Mr . Samuelson . He got over a hedge into a field , and in doing so lost his hat ; he did not return to pick it up , but ran across the fields towards Banbury . Finding the great coat cumbersome , he took it off and put it in a ditch full of water —in the same ditch he hid the pistol . When he afterwards reached the high road , he took out of his pocket a paper containing percussion caps and scattered them on the road . He entered Banbury , by the bridge , and ran up the Highstreet and past bis uncle ' s door , to toe house of Dr . Tandy . He solemnly declares that no one else ever bad any knowledge of his intention to commit the murder , nor any connexion either with that or the robberies committed by bim . '? .. ; ,.. ;• . l ~ .

On the morning of the 7 th of Januaiy he saw him dead . The prisoner was criyng when he got to the cottage , but he expected to see her hurt a good deal more—A witness proved that the prisoner had arsenic in her possession . —Mr . H . Holman , a surgeon , said he had made a vast mortem examination ofthe body , but diacoveied ' caus £ from which death could have proceeded . At that time there was no suspicion of the deceased having

      been poisoned . -Dr . Taylor , who had examined the contents of the intestines , proved the presence of arsenic-Marv Bennett stated that when the body of the deceased was taken , up for examination , the prisoner said all she waa afraid of was that they should find pwson in him .-T , tlickman . a youne man about twenty , was then exa-S S Ihe had been in tbo habit of visiting the Ks ' ed and the ? ri 8 oncr . He had first gone to th . house while he was courting the prisoner ' s sister . He was often in the cottage while the deceased was absent , and the pnanner had more than once told him that she loved him , and ohe had often kissed him . After detailing many familiant es which bad taken place between the prisoner and himspif the witness acknowledged having had guilty

      intercourse with her . He denied ever having purchased arsenic , or having anv in his possession . —On cross-examination , the witness said that the prisoner had told him that she had got as much as £ 500 , and if she were to marry him she could keep him without his being obliged to work , The deceased had bought some arsenic to kill mice with the day before Christmas Day . The nig ht after the funeral of the deceased witness was called out of his bed to go and see the prisoner , awl lie went to the cottairn and staved tho remainder of the night with ner . They

      had some conversation about the death of her husband , and the prisoner said that if any poison was found in bis body he must have taken it himself .-After some further evidence , Mr . Baron Parke summed up , and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty . The learned judge passed the sentence of death in the usual form , without holding out any hopes of mercy . —The prisoner , who had been supported by the turnkeys while the sentence was being delivered , was then carried ou £ of tho dock . The young man Hickman was in court when tho sentence was given , and he heard his wretched paramour ordered for execution without

      betraying the slightest emotion

Tbe jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter . —Mr . Justice Talfourd , in passing sentence , observed that tho jury had come to a decision upon a mere possibility that this could have been manslaughter and not murder . In his opinion , all the circumstances tended to tho conclusion that the more serious crime had been committed , He should pass upon him the most severe sentence the law allowed-that he should be transported for life to a penal settlement .

      BURY ST . EDMONDS . Incendiarism . —John Plumb , 45 , was indicted for setting fire to a haystack , the property of William Denton , of Moulton , on the 15 th of November . —The prisoner was found Guilty , and sentenced to be transported for the term of bis . life .

      LIVERPOOL . NiWUVGiiTEn at a Ooaz PiT . —fames Taylor , 20 , was indicted for the manslaughter of James Birchall , at Huyton , on the 6 th of December lwt . It appeared that at Huyton there ia a colliery , called the Halsnead Colliery , and , at the mouth of the bhaffc leading down to that colliery an engine was erected to draw up the coals and let down the workmen . It was the prisoner ' s duty to attend to the working of that engine . On the 6 th of December laatthedeceaswl , J . Birchall , and snotherm ^ n were descending ; the shaft into ! the coal-pit for the purpose ofmaking some repairs . The deceased , who was about to descend the shaft , placed his foot on the stirrup of tbe chain and swung

      himself a foot dowu the shaft , at the same time asking the prisoner , who was in the engine-house , which is about nine yards from the mouth of the shaft , if all was ready . The prisoner answered , " All right , " and the chain began to descend into the pit , but almost immediately after began rapidly to ascend , and carrying the deceased with it , struck him with great violence against the pulley over which the rope from the engine ran , and from which the chain was suspended , drawing him round the wheel and dashing him with great violence against the ground . The deceased was so much injured that he died very shortly afterwards . —The jury found the prisoner Guilty . —Sentence deferred .

      KINGSTON . Arson . —George Johnson , 22 , pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with feloniously setting Bre to a stack of tare haulm , the property of John Mills . —When the prisoner was before the magistrate it appeared that he made a statement to the effect that he and another man bad gone down to Godston to rob a certain house , and that they lay down in a barn and slept beyond the time when they could have committed the robbery , and out of spite at being prevented from carrying out his original intention he had set fire to the stack in question . He was sentenced to be transported for fifteen years . Breach of Promise . —Jennings v . CnocKsn . —This was

      an action to recover damages for a breach of promise of marriage . —Tho plaintiff in this action was a cook , and in the years 1848 and 1849 . she tilled a situation in thu capacity in tho family of a gentleman named Clark , residing at Peckhsm . The defendant , who was at that time not more than eighteen , was in the service of a butcher in tlie neighbourhood , and the parties , it appeared , became smitten with each oilier , and by the consent of the mistress of the plaintiff tho defendant w ; is allowed to visit her in the kitchen , aud was received by her and her fellow servants as a suitor , find on several occasions be intimated his intention to marry her , and said ho should set up in business for himself , and ono of the other servants in the establishment was to bo taken into their service when they were married . During the courtshi p tho defendant sent several valentines

      and other poetical epistles to the pbiintitf , but ns she unfortunately was unable to read a good deal of their intended effect was , doubtless , destroyed , —Evidence was given to provo these facts , and it appeared that tho defendant bad stated to one of the witnesses that an uncle had died and left him £ 1 , 000 , and after this coolness was observed on his part towards the plaintiff . It appeared that the latter was five or six years older than the defendant . —Mr . James said he was quite sure this action would never have been heard of if it had no- , been for the ailly boast of tbe defendant that his uncle had left him £ 1 , 000 , for which theve was not the least foundation , and the fact would no doubt have been proved if it had been capable of proof . The case , he submitted , was of a most trumpery character . What were tho facts ? A butcher ' s boy—for lie really was nothing

      elsein the course of his business falls in love with a lovel y cook ; which was to blame it was not for him to say , but cooks were proverbially susceptible . ( Laughter . ) Whether it was owing to the heat ofthe kitchen , or to the peculiar nature of their profession , he could not say ; but certainly thoy did continually hear of the affections of cooka for policemen and Life Guardsmen and persons of that stamp , and in the present instance it appeared to be a butcher ' s boy . ( A laugh . ) Ho contended that there bad been nothing but a little harmless flirtation , and all that the plaintiff had lost was her butcher ' s boy . ( Renewed laughter . ) He then referred to tho poetical epistles sent by the defendant , and observed that , inasmuch as the plaintiff could not read , sho could not havo been very much affected by them , and the

      learned counsel caused a . roar of laughter in court by referring to some of the letters . In one of them the defendant , after talking about '' foaming seas , " " loving hearts , " and such matters , concluded by stating , as a postscript , " In haste , as I am going to kill . " In another letter he gave an account of his" old mare'' having slipped " up" as he was riding very fast "down" a hill , and he said that if he had not " stuck to her" he must have been seriously injured ; but as it was , they both got up together , and he found nothing was the matter with either , so that he went off agiln as fast as ever . The learned counsel concluded by calling upon the jury , if they gave a verdict at all for the plaintiff , only to award very moderate damages , as any others must inevitably cause the utter ruin ofthe defendant . —The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages
