Hulm appeared to rrosecute; and Mr Price apoeared on behalf ot the defendants. The oases were taken separately against the defendants, so that each had the benefit of the others' evidence. This case excited considerable interest,—a number of respectable farmers being in the court. Cornelius Tuck, a watcher in the employ of Earl Cawdor, stated that about half-past ten o'clock on Christmas morning, he saw the flve defendants on the Downs benting for game, and accompanied by three dogs. They coursed three hares, one of which ran elope by where witness lay concealed. He also saw Mr Roach pick up a rabbit off the hedge and put it in his breast. When the defendants came up to where witness was, he showed himself. Mr Roach asked him not to say anything of the matter. M*- Roach stated that on the morning of Christmas- day, Thomas James and himself, acoompanied by his sheep dog. Watch, went, as was h s daily custom, lowards the Downs to see his sheep. On then way th'y went into a lield to Fee some p oughing that James had been doing on the previous day, as Janes had been practicing to compete at the ploughing-match, which comes off on the 12th inst.

Mr Roacb picked up a rnbbit that had recently been killed by a "veyHr," or other vermin, and put it in his breast, but neither of his dogs had in any way touched it. When Tuck came up to them, he said, Ifou have made a "muddle of it," and Mr Roach asked him what he meant, at the same time telling Tuck that he had been down looking after his sheep, and had net been hunting As Tuck walked with Roach by Linney House be asked Tuck to oome in to have some beer, which be declined to do, and went away. He (Roach) never asked Tuck to forgive him, and what Tuck had stated was false.
