[The prisoner here exclaimed, '- nou rrsay depend upon it, it my eyes drop out of my head, that 1 rwas nevet irt that gentlensan's house in mry lite." WitneKs contmined.-On that occa-sion the prisoner was conversing with a man naRled Scoveil, upon the subject of tte distance tirm titeltce ci AMaidstone. I was calleu into the tap-room toc decide the point. When I stated the exlct :idistattce between Beckenhtm asid Maidstone, the prisoner said, "I know a nmuch nearer road than the inain one."Scoveil remarked, that he suptiosed theprisoncr knew Maidstone well.

Thie pr'. soner sold x little bov, who hiaprened to be in the tap room, a pen- nywotth osf the powder, which hie measured out of the ihorn into a steel charger. He also disposed of a pair of sheep-shears to the boy's father.
