On Monday last Anthony Harris and Henry Sides (both of Oxford) were charged before the Justices assembled in Petty Sessions, at the New Inn, by Richard Chaundy, also of Oxford, seedsman, with having, on the 5th of December, broken open the gates of a garden, in his occupation, at Grampound, and taken therefrom a quantity of wood, his property. The complainant's witnesses proved that on the day mentioned in the information the two defendants broke open the gates of the garden, and took away from a yard ad- joining it, with a horse and cart, not only some wood which they had been authorised to remove by a brother of Harris, whose property it was, but also some which was the property of Chaundy, notwithstanding they were told at the time that they were possessing themselves of wood that did not belong to Harris. The defence set up was that they took it away because they were instructed to do so by the brother of Harris, and consequently under an idea of right. The Ma- gistrates, however, convicted them in damages 1l. 10s (that being the value of the wood to Mr. Chaundy) and 1l. 8s. 6d. costs, which they immediately paid, and were discharged.

WEST WARD ELECTION.- An election of a Councillor in the room of the late Mr. Crews Dudley, sen. took place on Monday last, and was severely contested by Mr. Richard Chaundy on the Liberal, and Mr. Allbutt on the Radical interest. Mr. Chaundy was supported to some extent by the Conservative party, but very many declined voting at all, and we hear that in St. Michael's parish alone upwards of thirty in this interest reamined unpolled; the consequence of this supineness was, that Mr. Chaundy was defeated by a small majority, and Mr. Albutt [sic] elected. The changes recently made in the Council have so operated on the respectable inhabitants that it is difficult to find persons, entertaining moderate hence it is others, holding extreme views, carry their elections.

Through Mr. Chaundy, the produce of the crops sold realised 54l. 19s. 3.; and there had been used in the house 100 sacks of turnips, valued at 12l. 10s.; 152 sacks of potatoes, 76l.; 16.5 cwt. of red carrots, 1l. 4s.; and 25 cwt. of parsnips, 1l. 11s 3d.; making a total of 146l. 4s. 6d.

ELECTION OF GUARDIANS. The election of Guardians, under the new Act, occupied the attention of the rate-payers in the 11 united parishes during the early part of the week, and in some instances was attended with much excitement and opposition. In St. Martin's parish it was anticipated that there would be a poll, in consequence of there being two candidates for the office, Mr. Richard Chaundy (seedsman) and Mr. C. Park (wine-merchant); but the friends of the latter assem- bled punctually at the hour appointed, and without waiting for the senior churchwarden, who had intimated his intention to nominate Mr. Chaundy, and was abount bringing the rate- book and minute-book required on the occasion, they car- ried the election of Mr. Park; so that when the churchwarden reached the vestry, he found that the business was over. ...

THE NEW CORN EXCHANGE. - The new Corn Exchange in the Market, though in an unfinished state, was used for the first time on Saturday last, and the readiness with which the farmers and dealers availed themselves of it was evi- denced by the fact that it was literally crowded, and that not even a stray farmer or dealer could be seen on carfax. The Mayor was present, and expressed his earnest wish to attend to any suggestions, or to make any fresh arrange- ments, which would conduce to the success of the market, or to the convenience of those who attend it. We under- stand that several of the shops have already been taken by Messrs. Druce, Mr. Wm. Ward, Mr. W. Thomson, Mr. Gurden, Mr. R. Chaundy, and others, so that there is every prospect that that portion of the market will present a more business-like appearance than it has for some time past. ...

ABINGDON FAT CATTLE SHOW ... The exhibition of roots was larger and better than usual, and reflected the greatest credit on all the exhibitors. The 25 untrimmed swedish turnips exhibited by Mr. W. Lay were of a superior character, and those sent by G. B. Morland, Esq. well deserved the second prize awarded to them. The mangold wurzel from Mr. R. Chaundy's seed, shown by J. B. Barrett, Esq., and which carried off the first prize, were as fine roots as it was possible to see; they were much admired, as were those sent by G. B. Morland, Esq., to which the judges awarded the second prize. Among the extra productions were some white mangold wurzel, cabbage, and early green top turnips, grown by Mr. Joseph Druce, on Ensham. The mangold were from seed supplied by Messrs. Sutton, of Reading, and the cabbage and turnips from seed obtained from Mr. Richard Chaundy, seedsman, of Oxford. These roots were particularly fine, well grown, and every thing that could be desired. Mr. W. Williams, of Barton Farm, also gave another proof of his success and skill in the cultivation of roots, by exhibiting a number of green globe turnips, planted July 14, after vetches. These were from seed supplied by Mr. R. Chaundy, and their size and quality appeared to astonish every one who saw them. ...

Inquests before Wm, Brunner, Esq. At the cape of Good Hope, on Tuesday last, on the body of Mr. Richard Chaundy, formerly of Queen-street, seeds- man, and an old and respected inhabitant of Oxford, aged 76, Whose body had been found in the River Cherwell that morning. The first witness examined was Jospeh Gadney, fisher- man, St. Clement's, who was in a punt at five o'clock that morning, going down the River Cherwell, towards Christ Church Meadow, when he found deceased near "Deep Martin." The spot was about 15 yards below the Christ Church ferry boat. He got the body into the punt, and afterwards found the coat, hat and stick near a tree, which has some bricks in it, about 50 yards further down the stream. P.S. Nix deposed to finding 3s. in the trousers pocket of deceased. Mary Chaundy Bugg, niece of the deceased, said the latter had been living with her, in Pembroke-street, lately. He had at times talked strangely. He went out the pre- vious evening at eight o'clock, stating that he was going to Folly Bridge, to have a glass of gin and water. Between seven and eight o'clock he had some money in his hands, and she believed five or six sovereigns, which she saw him put in the pocket of his trousers. Evidence confirmatory of the latter statement was given by Edward Steff, who had been in the service of deceased for 23 years, but as the money appeared to have been loose in Mr. Chaundy's pocket, it might have fallen into the river when the body was got out. Mr. H. Grant, butler of Christ Church, deposed to seeing and speaking to the deceased in the Broad Walk, between half-past eight and nine o'clock the previous evening. The Jury returned a verdict to the effect that deceased, not being of sound state of mind, had drowned himself intentionally.
