She expected something to be given to support her flot of the house , but Lancaster smuggled an Grder ,

manner , ilr . T . B . Smith , of Hull , was requested to t ote the chair , which he did amid the hearty cheers of iho audience . Mr . S . opened tho business of the evaniug with a few appropriate remarks , congratulating the company upon the return of a day so celebrated amongst a large portion of them , and remarking , upon tho pleasing ppiri t of nnity which was evinced in the fact of a Protestant being called upon to preside at a Catholic festival . He then introduced ilr . John Andrew , who , in a long speech , advocated the principles of Total Abstinence . The meeting was afterwards delighted , and we hafaecii fied by able and animated addresia ? , delivewif by Messrs . Parker , Spence , Johnson , Creaser , and Murray . A few remarks wcro also offered by Sir . G .
Hewit . In the intervals between the speeches , a choice selection of sacred music was performed by an efficient choir , accompanied on the piano by a ycuug lady . The selection consisted of * The marvellous work , " " Avc Maria , " " In native worth " ( from the Creati&uj , ** Laudate , " '' 0 lovely peace , " a duet , and the " Coronation Anthem " Votes of thauks were given to the Rev . Mr . Walmsley , and the Committee , for the use of the room—to the ladies and gentlemen who had conducted the music , and also to those who had superintended tho general arrangement * , and to the Chairman , for his able conduct in the chair . Several signed the pledge ; and thus terminated one of the most delighttul evenings it was ever our good fortune to enjoy .

Cross-fcxaniined—I left the house on the Tuesday following . She lived until tbe Saturday , bnt she dirt not go about her household work . She was net a passionate , bot-tempsred woman . I am hot-tempered when in liquor . I hare been before tho magistrates for thrashing my wife , but sbe caused me to do it . When 1 left the old woman ' s I wtnt back to i » y wife . I never saw boys or children teasing her- Mr . Bliburn was one of the surgeons who attended her . Re-examined—I know Dr . Woollan—he is a physician .
Ann Brunt—I am the wife of Job Brunt We teside at the Dun Pottery , near Mrs . Scorer ' s . 08 tbe evening , in question Mrs . Scorer came to our hottae , about eight o ' clock . Sbe was then bleeding from the head . Sbe nutavtl some persona t ^ me . The next guestlon asied was , who these personsiire / ~ TT ^ f [ This question was objected to , and the objection -waa held -ralia . ] Before Airs . Sc-jrer came , a man cime for assisUnce . Crow-examined—S ^ e remained at my house about a quarter ef an hour . 1 did not know much about her temper . By tbe Judge—When in my house she cried out Tery much in pain .
Henry Womnck—I am n constable at Rotherh&m , and apprehended Hepforth on tbo morning of the afch of February , at his mother ' s house at Mexbro ' . I told him he was charged with the nvun ' . er of Ann Scorer . He said sbe came out cf the door with a gun in her hand , a man with her with a piece of wood ; I screwed the gun out of her hand , and struck her with it , and tie man struck me over the head . Prisoner showed me the place , and there vras a lump on it . I found Eistwood a ' . so at his father ' s house , at Mexbro" . I charged him with the same offence , and he said " I
never tonched her . " I said . ' * were you ou the premises with Hey worth ? ' He made mo no anawer . Crora-exannned—He said he ttmck her . By the Judge—I am sure he said struck her with it . George Marshall—I am deputy-constable of Rotherham . I acumpanied the previous witness to apprehend Eastwood and Hepworth . In llepworth ' s mother ' s house I found a gtin barrel . When Hepworth came downstairs , I showed it to him , and said . " Do you know this thing ? " He replied , " Yes , that is what 1 struck the old woman ' with , and I rtceived a violent blow myself at the same time . "
Witness produced the barrel and stock found in Mrs . Scorer's house . The barrel is bent Cross-examined—Womack w ^ is present daring this conversation , and must have heard it . Re examined—Winnack was close at band , and might have heard it Mr . John Otter Biythman—I saw Mrs . Scorer on the 29 th of January . 1 found . a wound on the head about three inches long , which had been cut down to tbe bone , both arrcs were vtry much bruised and black , both her knees wcra also bruised—ther-j was a slight discolouration on tbe eyes . Sbe complained of pain in the heatl , gTcat weakness , and she shivered very much . Her pulse trss low and weak at the time . I continued to attend her until her death , twice a day . I did tbe
best for her according to my ability . I first apprehended danger about tbe fifth day . She died on tbe 9 th of February . I afterwards examined the body . I first examined the bead , and fonnd the cnt I have described down 'to tbe bone , and the bone itself chipped . I removed the hairy scalp , and fotnd other two bruises . —one on the front of her head , and another more considerable behind . I opened the head , and found on tbe right side about three ounces of coagulated blood , extending in a line fiom the outward wound dowp to the ba * e of the brain . The pressure of tbe blood on the dura matar bad produced an indentation ' of the brain . I attribute her death to this cirtemnstance , produced by external violence . The w « und was f uch as might have been caused by tbe end of a gun stock .
Cross-examined—I made a strict examination of the brain , which occupied an hour . A portion of the extravasation of blood would take place at the time the blows were inflicted . My assistant was first called in—be has Veen a year and a halt from a druggist ' s shop . Stupor usually follows oppression of tke brain , but not invariably eo . John Wood was called , but bis eTidence was corroborative of that formerly given . At the close of tbe cade for the prosecution , Mr . Roebuck and Mr . Wilkins addressed the Jury in eloquent speeches , and called several witnesses who gave the prisoners excellent characters as peaceable , inoffensive men . The Learned Judge said tbe charge of murder was certainly not sustained , and then summed up in reference to tbe charge of manslaughter .
The Jury returned a Terdict of Guilty of roanslaujbter against Hepworth , and found Eastwood guily of aiding and abetting . Tbe sentenoe has sot reached us .

Esq . QC . J POACHING . CharUa Speight , Zi , John Icwwon , and Own * Dodaon , were indicted for baTing , on the 8 th of NoTomber , during the hours of night , unlawfully entered certain enclosed lands , the property of Cbas . Waterton , Esq , of Waltou Hall , in the occupation of Mr . Wordswortb , at Walton . In the West-Riding , j armed with guns , for tbe purpose of taking anA destroying game . Mr . Momteith and Mr . Pickering apt > eared for tbe prosecution ; Mr . Roebuck and ilr . Wiluiss defended tbe prisoners .
On tbe night mentioned in tho indictment ths preserves of tbe prdsecutor , who resides near Wakefleld , were entered , betwe en twelve and one o ' clock , by four men , three of whom wero armed with guns , and the other had with him a dog and a bludgeon . The head ke-per , accompanied by three watchers , was going his round , and they saw four men in Suay clot * , where , after watching secretly for some time , they saw Speight go and take up two nets , which were laid against the fence and tbe gate . On seeing tlris , tho keeper went towards him . when Speight called out that , if he did not stand off , ho 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 , dating the watchers to follow them , and presented their guns . The "watchers , finding themselves unequal to cope witb the poachers , allowed them to escape . Speight was well known to tho keeper ; but the proof ot identity against the others was very slight—they being only spoken to by one of the watchers aa being amoDgst the party . Another circumstance against Speight was that , when apprehended at his house the same morning , hia clothes were found besides tbe fireplace quite wet ¦
In summing up , the Learned Queens Counsbl informed tbe Jury , that , in order to convict , they must be satisfied that the prisoners were all of the party , inasmuch as Speight was Indicted for having been in the grounds with tbe other prisoners , who Lad not been satisfactorily identified . The Jury accordingly , under tho direction of the Cratt , retnrned a verdict of Not Guilty . « K Ch » rU $ Sprfyhl was then charged , on another indletuient , for having committed the same oftence , t'Jgethfer with otbu persons unknown . The same evidence was adduced , and he was found Guilty , and sentenced to be impiibonod and kept to hard labour for twelve months .

EDLET V . FOOTIT AND OTHERS . Messrs . Cresswell and Pashley were for the plaintiff ; Mr . DUNDAS and Siv G . Lewin for the defendants . The action was in trespass , and the declaration charged the defendants with having illegally entered the house ana workshop of the plaintiff , on the 16 tb and 17 th of April , and tak ^ n therefrom divers goods and chattels belonging to him ; the defendants suffered judgment to pass by default ; tbe only question , therefore , was to the amsimient of damages .
Mr . Cresswkll , in stating the case , observed that the plaintiff was a joiners' tool manufacturer at Sheffield , and at the time in question he carried on business to a considerable extent , and had a stock of unfinished tools and materials , worth to him from , £ 130 to £ 140 . The defendant was Mr . Footit , an attorney at Sheffield , and tbe others were persons acting under his directions . In tbe month of April , iu list year , Mr . Footit and his colleagues entered , under a pretsndfd process of law , tho house of tbo plaintiff , took possession of his stock of tools , finished and unfinished , and sold them .

Edley to two building societies , for whica the latter gave him a cognovit on his goads In default of his
payment Mr . Footit becoming liable , he entered the plaintiff ' s premises under this cognovit , and seized and sold tho goods , but this instrument was afterwards set aside * by a Judge at Chambers on the ground of irregularity . This being the case , be would not justify tbo trespass , but be would show them that the goods were Bold for about £ 57 , and that Mr . Footit bad acted in on bonest , bona-fide manner throughout the transaction , with no desire to h > jure or oppress the plaintiff .
Witnesses were then called in support of the statements made by the Learned Counsel , when * Mr . Cresswell replied , and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages , £ 100 .
