An elopement has occurred in our neighbourhood within these few days. The parties are respectably connected, and the frail rib is the mother of two children. The seducer is a young man. - Southampton H.
James Figgins, John Yates, and James and George Mead, were yesterday committed for trial at the next Assizes: the two former charged with stealing, and the two latter with receiving, knowing it to have been stolen, a large quantity of corn, the property of Mr.George King of this town. James Mead has for a number of years carried on the business of coal-merchant and boat-master in Devizes, and has amassed property to the amount of �2000 and upwards, he has a wife and 8 children. George Mead is one of his sons, Figgins and Yates are two assistant porters in our market. At an early hour on Thursday morning last, Figgins and Yates were observed carrying some corn in the direction from Mr.King's, across the Market-place. Some time afterward information of the circumstance was given to Mr.King, who immediately obtained search warrants, and Mr.Shakespeare (one of the Constables) proceeded to put them into execution. He found nothing, however, either at the house of Figgins or Yates; but after some inquiries was induced to search the house of Mr.Mead. Here he quickly discovered in a bin some corn (beans and a perculiar kind of Russian pease) which corresponded with the sample he brought from Mr.King's granary. On asking him how he came by it, Mead replied, that his son had purchased it; at the same time expressing his fears that it might not have been obtained honestly; adding , that he had frequently forbad his son from bringing any more corn there. In searching further, Mr.Shakspeare found some sacks mark'd with Mr.King's name; and on opening another bin he found 6 bushels more of the above description of corn. In the bed-room he also found a quantity of peas. On being again questioned, the father said he had bought them in Bristol; the son said he had bought them in Bath; but at length the son acknowledged having purchased some of them of Figgins and Yates. They were both then taken into custody. On the following day, it was ascertained that Mead had two boats up the river; Mr.Shakspeare followed them within 6 miles of London, and found on board, 4 sacks of beans and peas mixed with chaff, and other sack marked with Mr.King's name. Altogether upwards of 30 bushels of corn have been recovered. One of the witnesses against the prisoners, is a young man in the employ of Mr.Harrison, who saw Figgins and Yates enter the granary of Mr.King, and afterwards leave it with sacks on their shoulders - Yates also confessed "that they stole the corn and sold it to Mead." Mead pleaded hard to be admitted to bail, offering his own bond in �2,000; but the evidence against him was irresistible, and our excellent Chief Magistrate felt it his duty to commit him (with the others) for trial.
As a young gentleman named House was walking down Endless-street, Salisbury, about ten o'clock on the evening of Saturday last, he was suddenly assaulted and robbed of his watch and purse. The prisoner was secured on the following morning : he is commonly known by the name of Jemmy Prigg. When before the Magistrates, he sent for a respectable butcher to give him a character. The Mayor enquired of the butcher what he knew of the prisoner ? The reply was - "He worked occasionally for me; and on a late occasion I gave him a dinner; when he went away, I missed a silver spoon." He was fully committed for trial.
Last year, a mare belonging to Mr.Legge, of Hawkley, Hants, brought forth twin foals, which died soon after. This year she foaled two more, which are living and likely to do well. What renders the circumstance more extraordinary is, that the four colts were born within 12 months.
One of those melancholy terminations of human existence, which from not only being sudden and unexpected, but from being involved in impenetrable mystery gives so much great poignancy to the sufferings of the surviving relatives, occurred on Saturday morning at the Castle Inn, Southampton. A Mr.Charles Lewis Moller, a gentleman of independent fortune arrived Friday evening at this inn, from Blackheath, with his wife and two daughters. The young ladies, little accustomed to travelling, felt great reluctance at the idea of sleeping in a room by themselves, and entreated their mother to sleep with them, which Mr.Moller acquiesced in, and went to his room in perfect health and spirits. At about four on Saturday morning his chamber window was opened, and the gentleman fell from it into the street, and received such contusions as produced his death in an hour. A Coroner's Inquest has been held on the body, and by the deposition of the unhappy widow, it appears her husband was sometimes in the habit of walking in his sleep, more especially when fatigued by travelling; but there were some positive circumstances elicited, which convinced the Jury the gentleman must have been awake; and as he was a man of sound mind, and under no circumstances that could lead to suicide, the Jury returned a verdict of 'Accidental Death,' without being able to arrive at any further conclusion.
The parsonage barn at Bramshaw was on Sunday night the 10th inst., destroyed by fire, together with another barn adjoining, a stable, some cow-pens, and a quantity of straw. There is great reason to believe that the fire was occasioned by some incendiary.
On Monday night some unfeeling wretch maimed 2 cart-horse, and killed a sheep, the property of Mr.Bridge, of Portesham farm. A reward of 20gs is offered for a discovery of the offender.
Wednesday the farm-house occupied by Mr.R.Hix, at Walcombe, near Wells, the property of J.P.Tudway, esq. M.P., took fire, and in the course of three hours was laid in ruins. Mr.Hix fortunately saved the greater part of his household furniture, cheese, &c., which was, however, insured. The flames burst forth from the thatch, to which it is supposed the fire was communicated by mouldering soot from the chimney.
Family Propensities - At the Petty Sessions, at Wellington, on Wednesday last, John Wilkins, of Chaffcombe, was committed to the Wilton House of Correction, for trial at the next Sessions, for uttering base coin. He was tried and convicted for a similar offence at the Bridgewater Sessions, in July, 1821, and sentenced to twelve months imprisonment. His daughter-in-law is now in the same prison for uttering base coin at Taunton, on Saturday se'nnight. - The husband of this woman was discharged on the 16th ult., having been convicted of robbing a man of a gold ring, for which he was sentenced to seven months hard labour. Two other sons are now in gaol at Dorchester, on a charge of horse-stealing; and his wife, some time since, was searched in Taunton, when a quantity of base coin, and several notes of the late insolvent firm of "Brickdale and Co." were found on her person.

Freehold Investment

It Comprehends Ten Farms,
Including 1,733A 2R 21P of convertible & useful Land.
Adapted more especially to Dairy Farms, and yet very congenial to Wheat and Barley. The estate is almost within a ring fence (save only one Farm) and which were let to a respectable tenantry about twelve months since, when (it will be remembered) Agricultural pursuits had not put on that healthy appearance, which the contemplated Corn Bill must necessarily in due course of time produce.
The Present Low Rental is
�1,373 16s 8d per ann.
But the Leases are all determinable in 3 years, when the property is capable of considerable augmentation. The Farms are very eligibly circumstanced in respect to Tithe and Poor Rates, and the
Land Tax Is Redeemed.
There are some admirable young Coppices, with an infinity of Growing Timber, and the Estate abounds with Game. This property is with great confidence submitted to the consideration of capitalists.
Particulars will be ready 28 days prior to the Sale; and then had at the principal Inns at Cirencester, Bath, Cheltenham, and Malmesbury; of Mr.W.Andrews, White Lodge, Braydon; of Messrs.Welford and Son, Marlborough; Mr.Hayward, Land Surveyor, Devizes; at the Offices of Messrs.Hanrott and Metcalfe, Lincoln's Inn; the Mart; and at Messrs.Robins, Covent Garden, London; where plans of the Estate may be seen.
