Sir Charles Taylor's Game Case

PETERSFIELD.—SIR CHARLES TAYLOR'S GAME CASE.—The excitement in the neighbourhood of Petersfield and the surrounding district, respecting the above case, continues unabated, notwithstanding the defence set up in the House of Commons by Lord G. Bentinck and a few others, denying the accusation altogether. The informer, Frederick Bridger, who was hired to sell the game to the fisherman, Bridger, of Petersfield, was at the time in the employee of Thomas Butler, Esq., of Down Land House, in the parish of Bramshott, who was so disgusted at the villanous transaction, that he dismissed the informer immediately from his service, neither will any person in the locality employ him since the circumstance has been made public. Within the last fortnight the informer has suddenly disappeared from his home, and the opinion is that he is sent away to stifle the injury so ably prosecuted by the hon. member for Athlone, J. Collett, Esq,. Another case of a similar character occurred a few years since, when the victim was William Pestle, the individual who is now driving the mail cart conveying the mail bags between Liphook and Fareham.—Hampshire Independent.
