Impressive Caution.
On Sunday morning last the potatoe house of Mr.Bromfield, at Minesteed Mills, near Lyndhurst, was broken open by a person of Minesteed, by the name of Kennison; who, on entering the door way, received the contents of a gun in both knees. The report soon brought Mr.Bromfield and family to the spot, where they discovered the unhappy man who had fallen just without the premises : he was conveyed to his home and surgical assistance immediately procured, but after languishing until Tuesday, he expired. The gun, which had executed such summary punishment on this unfortunate man, was fixed on two forked sticks, and to the trigger was tied a piece of string, which was fastened by a nail to the bottom part of the door. It was sufficiently long to admit the door's being quite opened and it was intended that, by its communication with the trigger, the gun should be discharged. Mr.Bromfield has lost potatoes before from the same house, and about a fortnight ago fixed the gun in the manner above described. The door was fastened by a padlock which the unfortunate man forced and met his fate.- A coroner's inquest was taken on the body, and the Jury returned a verdict of - Accidental Death.
Tuesday se'nnight a caravan, with about 23 convicts, from London, on their way to Gosport, stopped a few minutes at the Red Lion Inn, in Fareham. The waiter, when the act of serving them some gin, for which they had called, was robbed of a gold chain and seals, value �6. They were immediately charged with the theft, but they handed it to each other with such dexterity, that they absolutely succeeded in secreting and carrying off the property, to the grief of the loser, and indignation of many who assembled around the caravan on the occasion !
On Wednesday last four of the respited convicts at the last assizes for this county, were removed from the county gaol, and put on board the Laurel hulk, at Gosport, for transportation, to New South Wales; the other respited convicts are to be imprisoned in the house of correction.
