past the gardens in the neighbour- 
hood .of Hampstead had been 
plundered of vast quantities of 
their season’s growth. The gar- 
den of Mr. Wilson, of Frognell, 
had been particularly marked out 
as an object of depredation, and 
been stripped of its choicest fruits. 
Exertions, however, being: made 
to detect the offenders, an elderly 
man was ohserved by the garden-= 
er of Mr. Wilson, entering the 
premises between one and two 
o’clock this morning, when the 
latter perceiving him busily em- 
ployed in removing fruit from the 
trees, advanced towards him arm- 
ed with a musket and bayonet. 
Upon his appearance the man at- 
tempted to escape fromtheground, 
but being closely pressed, he ene 
gaged in a struggle with the gar- 
dener, when the latter inflicted 
upon his body a bayonet’ wound 
which brought him to the earth, 
and he expired in about twenty 
‘minutes. .
