D< Bullock, orgun' builder of; Jackson, discovered that liis store had liecn patcrod, his suf> robbed, aud tho contents, li0i000 in drafts, notes and checks, sovbinil hundred dollars in currency, and a gold xvatch had_ been Rtoleh..- Tho tiafo had been opened by acipiiring tho com bination, and the l>urf{lurs in leav ing had faHtcnod tho door again and left the establishment undis turbed.; -I In looking. up. a possible clue Mr Bullock discovered that A. M. Hawley, a young marrjodmari who had been employed by him for three years as an hgont, and who had recently been assigned to duty at Port Huron, had boon soon in Jackson the night of tho.burglary. Hawley had becft - oarouaipg for some time . previously iu Port Huron and had fallen under the influenco of an individual well known to the police of nearly every, city in the Union as " Lady" Lee. Together the two went to Detroit on-the night of tlio 22rid of July and at once left for Jackson on the 10 p. m. train, Hawley so much under the influence of liquor that the depot officers reluctantly re frained from arresting him. "Lady" Lee and Hawley reached JackBon about oue o'clock at night, and then managed to rob. the safe-as detailed, and taking the early morn- ill^ traini were again in Detroit at half-past eight. They made no do- lay there, but proceeded at once to Canada, halting for a few days at Chatham. From that place Lee ex pressed the plundered notes and drafts to A. J. Lee, Prescott, Canada. Meantime Bullock was beating about as bestrhe could until, on the 2nd of August, lie received a letter from Richard ,H. Lee, brother of " L*dy " Lee, and asso ciated with him in various" ways, which . letter afforded a clue that wasj vigorously and successfully follolvved till it resulted in'a pwsonal interview, at which R. H. Lee de manded $8,000 for the return -of the stolon property, together with the-" promise of immunity from 'judicial proceedings.

Bullock would give to him, but none other, 2,000 for the missing property. Hawley went over, and was Tin mediately arrested. Bullock had made no conditions about it. 3*he property was recovered, and Hawtey, making a clean breast of the affair, was, after a while, set at, large*on bail, to hereafter staud trial. The Lees obtained the thousand dollars and nestled down snugly in Canada. In October an attempt was made to get " Lady " Lee to Michigan pending the complications in the extradition trpaty. ' He-was arrested at Prescott, and was being taken to Port Huron on a Grand Trunk train. At Stratford a friend of Lee's saw him while the train halted, and, suspecting the contem plated rase, telegraphed' to Sarnia that Bome American officers were kidnapping a Canadian prisoner. The result- was that the party were stopped at Sarnia and Lee commit ted to the jail thei'e to await an in vestigation. Finally it was discov ered that, under the laws of the Dominion,^a pnrty bringing stolen property into Canada, knowing that it is stolen, is^subject in evei-y respect to the penalties incurred by Teceriving stolen property stolen in the Dominion. Under this law " Lud}"' Lee was. taken to Sund- wuch jailand has been in eontiDe- ment there since an early day -in November. Lee was tried at the Essex Assizes, before -' Judge Leg- gett, on the charge of importing into Canada stolen property, being the drafts, notes, checks, gold watch and other property stolen from Mr. Bullock. Completion of 'the trial was-postponed for a few days. Partnersuip Registration. ] The London Free Press sounds a- word of alarm to "all persons inte- ested in business partnership. | Ac cording to bur western contempor ary; somo persons are now-engaged in that section blackmailing /busi ness, men who have been deVelict in the registration of partnership. By the Partnership Registration Act.^f 1869 it, is, enjoined bn the members of a partnership to regis ter a declaration bf co-partnership within,six months after the forma tion of it, if formed since t;he pass ing, of the Act; or if formed before that period (1-809), within Bix months after the passing: of the Re gistration Act^-uncler a penalty of 200. But there is a limitation .to the time'during which the penalty can be enforced under private prose cution, that limit being one year after the expiration of the six months referred to. [Thus, any partnership that was formed nine teen months ago, and which has not been yet registered according ito law is still free from prosecution at the bands of private individuals fori default. At the same time, it being the law that co-partnerships should bo registered, all persons .being^parties thereto should not" ioned by this Montenegrins at the expense of Turkey. JAS.

H5th, a dreadful uiut-der was com mitted near Sutton Bingham,'by a baud of notorious poachers. It appears that about midnight three men named Hutchingsi two of whom had only recently been liber ated from prison und another noted character, .were- seen in a lane at Netherton, with a'.hbrse and cart. Constables Cox and Stacey, who had seen the men Pearlier in the evening, and suspected that they had- been poaching, spoke to them. The party were evidently prepared for nil emergencies, for immediately one of theih took a life-p'reserver or some other deadly weapon from' the cart, and with one blow felled Cox to the ground. Death must have been instantane ous. -They then beat him about the head in a.frightful manner. Stacey defended himself with his staff, but he was- overpowered, and was felled to the ground. He, too, was bea- ton Rbout unmercifully, but wits not actually killed,. Mr. Marsh, of Daryille, was attracted to the spot, but before bo'arrived at the scene of the murder, the men had decamp ed.^ He had a horse saddled and rode into Yeovil and informed Sergeant Hblwel! of the murder. As number of policemen were at once despatched, to Netherton, and they have since beeri scouriug"~the neighborhood, but the Hutchihgs' cannot be found. T;he dead body of Cox was removed to the new Inn, East Coker, arid Stacey was conveyed to the Yeovil Hospital, where he received every attention. Cox, who had been stationed at East Coker for some years, was one of the smartest men in tbe force. He was a tall, - powerful man, and would doubtless have been a match for more than one of the poachers had he not been taken at a disadvantage. He was an in telligent, respectable man, and his untimely end will be much .regret ted. - He leaves a widow.and four children. A Dream.' - A correspondent mentions a singular circumstance in connection with the murder, and says he has the best authority for stating that it is quite reliable. It is as-follows.-: Mrs..Cox,'the., wife of the murdered man, says her'hus band was very restless on Wednes day night, andwhen he awoke on Thursday morning he remarked : " I've had a bad night. I dreamt I had a fight with the gipsies, and that they gave me a terrible mark just here " placing one of his mnds on-the part of his head "which .-was most injured during the fatal affray. . When: Dr. Garland went to break1 the news to Mrs Cox, he intimated that her husband). was very ill, whereupon she at once exclaimed : " " Oh ! I know he's killed";", andfthen related what is stated above r ' CLERK 4TH DIVISION COURT, Counts- of IlaLTox. Ooayeyaacsr, - Commissioner in, Q. 3. <' Firo lasara&CQ Agent, : .
