-ROMSEY MARKET-STOCKBRIDGE MARKET. [Freya the their:hire T t legr o ph.l WRIT OF AD QUOD DAAINUNI. The inquiry on his Majesty's Writ of rof grind domin" took plate on Tvesday last, at the White Hart Inn, Winchester, Wine Me 'Todd. the Deruty Undereheriff, and a meet respectable Joty. Tbe late occurrence of this antique preceediag had previously ex.. otteteoesiderable interest, even beyond the pale of its immediate operation, and the public curiestity woe in. no small degree increased when it was known that things were not to pass of so quietly as vas at inn enticirated. The circumstances under which it was Limed are briefly these I-- At the request of a respectable meeting of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Itomery, Lord Palmerston, as Lord of the awe, and proprietor of the Al arket there, presented a petition 'tat the King's Attorney.(iencral, requesting that his Majesty would toll pleased, by virtue of his !twat prerogative, to grant that the day forrhuisllng Bonney Ithetet tin all other respects unchanged) might be altered from Saturday to Thursday, for the benefit and 4.4s.,tewitsate of the torn itself and the greater prosperity of the tarot's.' - fluebefore the Crown can exert its prerogative in things uthetinn the right of the anbject, it is necessary to ascertain owner at no such exertion will be to the damage or prejudice of his Majesty, or any other, or ((in title case) of the neighbouring m.arforts or hilts To this end the wisdom of our forefathers, in thine maild'elot times when " the 'twittery of man tunneth not to c.t.n:rary," devised the writ of Ad quad datenana—a salutary itoceeding,•caioulated at once to protect the people and the crown —' k bleeneth hint that gives and him that takes." At the in. quirt' which it is the Sheriff's duty to institute as soon as cenveni. en.ly may he after the receipt of the writ, all persona who think nest they 'hall be injured by the proposed measure, whatever it my he, flee entitled to attend with their complaints, and it is for the Jury messy what damage, if ally, the complainants are likely to sustain. The writ is thee returned by the Sheriff, together with the verdict of his Jury. into Chancery, and the advice which is gives to his Majesty as to the rejection or granting of the petition eves founded on what appears by those preliminary pro. andiaga. In the prevent ease the Court opened soon after eleven co clock, in the large room at the White Hart. which was almost immediately filled. The following gentlemen were summoned on the jury : Henry Knight, of St. John's, gentleman, Foreman ; Robert Krught, of the same, gentleman; J. Benham, of the same, 111i1 /11 . 3 Win. Menton. of St. Peter Colebrook, miller; Wm. Key not 9beeton, of the same, silk throwster ; R. Rogers, of St. Thomas. draper ; H. Dialler, of the same, saddler ; %Von. !tur een, a Week. gentleman; Abiah Hull, of Kiae's Worthy, gentleman ; Jas. Voting, of St. Peter Colebrook, wooletarder ; J. Voung, of St. Thomas, gentleman ; J. Venthant, of St. Maurice, schoolmaster ; George Finder, of St. Mary Kalendar, turveyer. The thirteen .Titrymen above enumerated having been sworn, and the Writ read, the Sheriff briefly charged them as to the duty for which they were impanelled, and Ms. Rotates rose to address them on the pert of the inhabitants of Ramey, bet was interrupted by Mr. Canme (specially vet iced as Counsel for Lord Groo ve :or, the Lord of the 31asior of litockbridge), who claimed the • right of makitig the first address to the Jury, which was allowed. The Leaned Gentleman then stated his case, as rinereeentative of the manor of Stockbridge. The market day of that place is Thursday. the very day to which It was pro posed matter that of finnisey, from which Stockbridge is distant marabout ten miles. The alteration, he contended, must therefore week sereriderable injury. By reference to an old document in .we Datthy'of Lancaster Mice, it appeared that the Stockbridge motet had been held fro* time immemorial on the Thursday. From the &anew of the inhabitants it had often been discontinued. Its Saw Tenet al was in Mee. If it were exposed to the dangerous riealshipef Rooney it would be quite destroyed, though it had now great advantages far the support of a market, there haying been of file years more corn grown around it, and an increase of its porn •ucn. The Learned Counsel called eight witnesses in support of oursallat Mr. Hoene, then addrresed the Jury en the part of the town of Romer". The origin of this important measure was not, he said, woh•Lard Pahrersum himself; he was a mere instrument acting in tbe mete of the inhabitants and neighbourhood of Romney. They Callta ta him, and said as/ mice that it would be a great benefit to the inhabitants of Riallat y if the market day could be on a Thurs o*, instead of the Saturday, as before. The markets of Andover,' Lentrington, and Winchester are all on Saturdays, Southampton on Fridge, and Saliaburroo Tuesday. At this request, Lord Pal. snerston, with that ' , tidiness to do his utmost for the public good whichever characterises his conduct, consented 19 present a memo rial to his elnjesty's Attorney• General that it might be as the people embed. The market of Stockbridge, it was said, was of very ancient date ; but it seemed that an unfortunate fatality hod at- Wiled it Trom the period of its first formation down to the present rime. We only beard of it by fits, as it was revived by a few inha. Wattle from time to time. lit 1794 an attempt wax made by a very stemeretts and respectable body of men to sustain the market at Kipeltbridge, but it only lasted for about twelve months. In fact' Vale has been no market at all. For the last teen, years it had boas only the shadow of a shade. An attempt was now made to reettecinve it, and the same effect was produced as would fellow the op-onions of milvanissn on a dead rat, or half-animated members elf a .pool expiring frog. (Laughter.) It was merely an eareris silent oft th e part of those in Stockbridge. and their newly-awed twaelett w ill soon die away as it had often died before. Now, would it be for the benefit of the people that this Stockbridge market, which had only peeped out as it were once in an age, should set aside a measure which would really work to to the general good -tit. Keynes then called his witnesses on the part of Romney. Me. Vent tit replied. The DEPtrtir-SHERITIP then recapitulated the evidence throughnet, with few comments. observing that the Jury were Italy anupe•ent to weigh the condictieg ergence which had been produced before them, and that he had no denim they would decide ceinstiriniously and justly, according to the tenor of the writ. the Jury retired into an adjoining room to consider of their ver dict, which, after a fro minutes deltheratino, they returned, through thole fbremin, as follows That it will not be to the damage or' prepadici of our said Lord the King, or any other. If our said Lord the King should grant to Henry John Viscount Palmerston in the said on; ranted, and to his heirs and assigns for ever Lords of the 21lesor of Itorneee Infra, in the said county of Southampton, license to have, hold, and enjoy, on Thursday in every week in setted of Saturday, an open and public market, within the town of Array Infra, in the mid country, for buying and selling all and all manner of cattle and pigs, tole grain, hay and other agricul. ulna poultice, and alkali, fish, fowl, vegetables, fruits, herbs, and mks peovisions of victual for mankind, hardware and other goods, wafts and merchandises and such like commodities, usually bought and ld n arkets„ together with reasonable toils, and also with oodbige, pimp, and all liberties, remedies, emoluments, and in. cidetwel, to the same market belonging. and heretofore immemori ailg raceived and taken by the Lord of the Manor of Romney Infra, *bias . the pariah of Ramsey Infra, in the county of Southampton aS id, on Saturday in every week, and therefore due, and of *At accustomed ; and that the said market should hereafter cont inual at the hour of eleven of the clock in the forenoon, and end at timehour of two in the afternoon. And the Jurors aforesaid, *pew their oath aforesaid, do say that it will rot be to the damage se prejudice of our said Lout the King. or to any other, or to the iiielpof the neighbouring markets or fairs." Tllialler an investigation of six hours, ended this eventful pied ; but it is a question whither the Lord of the Manor of tweet ge will rest quiet under his defeat, as there are other steps in *law which it is rumoured his Lordship's advisers will reenin diandelliwhir adoption. There was a eery large party to dinner at Ow White Hart in the evening; and we understand that Rnmsey CORONA /j J' /NQ UES TS. • et GROSS xrnt.tcr OF A WATCITMAL—On Saturday evening a Coroner's Inquest was held at the Axe Lin, Aldermanbury, on the body of John Lovely. Edward Ellerton, a watchman, deposed that on Thursday night, about ten o'clock. he found the deceased lying at the corner of Wood-street, Cheapside. in a state of insensibility, apparently from exhaustion, and surrounded by several persona, one of whom said that he lived in Spitallielda. He called another watchman to his assistance, and they conveyed hint to the next beat in Wood street, where they left him. Samuel Clarke, the watchman of that beat, deposed, that when the deceased was brought to kim, he conveyed him to King's Arms buildings, and placed him .41 the step of a door, where he was sheltered from the rain, and left him there, and went to the watch house, where he sat for about an hour. lie then went on his beat ; and after walking about three quarters of an hour, lie found the deceased lying on his fare. Some time afterwards, he returned to the watchhouse and informed the night cans:able of the circum stance, who immediately imatened to the spot, and found the de ceased in the same situation, where he had lain exposed to the in , clemency of the weather upwards of three hours ; he was then cold and insensible; they conveyed him to the watchlimse, where he expired shortly after his arrival. A Juryman—So then, after leaving the unfortunate man exposed to the weather, you went and sat yourself quietly down by the fire side at the watchhouse, and remained there an hour ? The witness reluctantly answered in the affirmative. Juror—l hope this will be a lesson to you not to leave a man whom you find in the street insensible, whether from drunkenness or illness, exposed to the night air. It was your duty to have taken him to the watchhouse, and placed him by the fire. The Coroner was of the same opinion, and the witness ex peaked his regret that he had not done so. James Grover, the night constable, said, that hearing the de emed was in a very dangerous state, he sent for medical assistance, but before it arrived he expired. On searching him he found 245. in his pocket. There was a dog with him, who followed him to the watchhouse, and witness wrote an account of what happened on a piece of paper, and tied it round the dog's neck, and the animal immediately ran of, followed by him, and at length stopped at a house in Spitaltields, where he found the deceased's wife and family anxiously awaiting his arrival, anti to whom he communicated the melancholy it,telligence of his death. Mr. Charles Lellie, a surgeon, said he was called in to attend the deceased, whom he found lying dead in the watchhouse; he ap peared to have been dead about half an hour. He could not tell, from the appearance of the body, whether he died from intoxication or from Old. The son of the deceased and several other witnesses were then examined, from whose evidence it appeared that the deceased was a Chelsea pensioner, and had on that morning been to receive his money ; that he had drank some beer with them, but was no in. toxicated ; and that they left hint near his own house in Spital fields, about eight o'clock. but none of them saw him afterwards, or could account for his being in Chespside. The CoxoNEa, in summing up, made some remarks upon the conduct of the watchman (Clarke), which he said was highly dis graceful, as there could be no doubt, if he had conveyed the deceased to the watchhouse when he had the charge of him, his life might have been aired. The Jury. after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of— " Died by the visitation of God." AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.—OD Saturday greening an inquisition was taken at the London Hospital, before .1.

COURT OF KINW:THENCII. GUILDHALL, SATURDAY, JAN. 7. The LOaD CHIEF JrstrlCE, pursuant to !toilers sat this morn ing at Nisi Primo. and tried a vast number of undefended causes ; but they were all destitute of interest. most of them being upon bills of exchange. One cause was specially called on at the re quest of Mr. Chitty, previous notice of his intention having been given ; and the Learned Counsel observed, that he called it on for the mere purpose of having the plsintiffnonsuitcd. It was, he said, an action by Charles flosanquet, Eaq. against Mr. Barton, the defendant, on a bond which he had entered into jointly with two other persons ; the subscribing witness to the bond was one John Chas. Peters, the pm of one of the obligors in the bond, and hediail refused to come .orwani and give evidence. The plaintiff was therefore compelled to submit to a nonsuit, so as to be enabled to sue the witness Peters, or proceed against him by attachment, for refusing to attend on his subnons. The witness Peters was then called on his subpoena. but he did not answer ; and the plaintiff was therefore nonsuited, in conse quence of not being able to prove the execution of the bund by the defendant. WINTER HOME CIRCUIT. KENT ASSIZES, 31 - 117 r —rows, FRIDAY, .1.6. 6. edbre Mr. Justice LITT LEDAI.E.I Richard Groombridge was Indicted, under I..ird Lilenborough's Act, for feloniously cutting and staboing Stephen Holmes with • certain sharp instrument, at blsiclstone, on the 2d of October, with Intent to murder him. Other counts charged the intent to be to disable, and to do the prosecutor some grievous bodily harm. Mr. MARSHA)! conducted the prosecution, and Mr. CLatit sox the defence. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner and the prosecutor were both butchers' apprenticei, of Maidstone. On the evening of the fki of October, the prosecutor had been employed by a Mrs. Aid. ridge to watch the grave of her husband, who had been interred In Maidstone church-yard that day. He remained on his post until ten o'clock, when he retired to the Globe, an adjacent public house, to procure some refreshment before he resumed his vigils fur the night. In the house he found the prisoner, in a state of intoxication, quarrelling with another young man. The landlord required prosecutor's assistance to turn the prisoner out of the house. He immediately stripped off his coat, and puttied the pri soner with some violence out of the house, and the door was fastened against him. In his retreat the prisoner dropped some halfpence out of his pocket, and also missed his hat. Shortly after he was shut out the prisoner knocked at the door and demanded his money and hat. The landlord picked up the halfpence, and opening the door, gave them to him, and recommended that he should go home bly, lest he should get into trouble. Ile, however, remained ece knocking as at the dour, when the prosecutor, who had returned to the house, came out for the purpose of remonstrating with, and advising him to go home quietly. He went up to him. wheu the prisoner aimed a blow at him with something which appeared like a knife. The prosecutor threw up . his left Arm to avoid the blow, which he received on the back of his hand, and instantly perceive d that he was cut. He then struck the prisoner a blow on the face ; and, in return, the prisoner struck at him twice with the same weapon, and paled him slightly on the left shoulder and arm. The prisoner then ran off, but was pursued and taken in half an hour. When in custody of the constable, he contrived to throw something from him whirl* could not be found • the wound on the prosecutor's hand was very slight, and got well with the applica tion of a little brandy, without the aid of a surgeon, and by an in. ternal administration of some rum and water. The prisoner denied the charge altogether. Several witnesses gave him an excellent character for quietness and humanity. Mr. Justice LITTLIDALI summed up the evidence, and di. reefed attention to the Manna charges contained in the several counts. The Jury, after a short deliberation, found the prisoner Nat Guilty. BATITaDAT, I 7A,t . . 7. John Barton was indicted for the wilful murder of Thomas Page, by stabbing him with a knife at Sandgate on the 18 th of No vember last. Mr. BOLLAND conducted the prosecution, and Mr. ANDnEws and Mr. CLaassow, the defence. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner and deceased were mariners, the former about 50 years of age, and the latter .11i, at the time of his death. On the 111th November last, the landlord of the *hip, at Sandgate, gave what is called a house-warming, to some of his customers, against whom were the prisoner and the de ceased. After supper, the prisoner, who was advanced in liquor, had • squabble with one of the guests named Gifford, and shortly afterwards went into the kitchen. Whilst sitting there, the de ceased came behind him and rubbed his face with his hands. The prisoner expressed some indignation at this liberty, and desired the deceased to leave Whitt tricks. The deceased left the kitchen, and in a few minutes after, returned with his hands blackened, and then besmeared the prisoner's face from behind, as before. The prisoner started up in an angry manner, drew a clasp knife from his pocket, which he opened, and pursued the deceased to the door, but the lat ter escaped. In two minutes after he returned, and approaching the prisoner, addressed him by the nick-name of " Bustack," and said " we mean to have a spree to-night." The prisoner, who had kept the knife open in his hand. immediately started up and ex claimed, " You are the man," rushed at the deceased, and stabbed him in the lower part of the belly. The deceased, unconscious . . THE BRITISH PRESS. *crowd at Mr. King's, In consequence of the run uron the bark, that lie could not get in. Mr. Merchant then went hack with him to King's, who, upon acting the check, expressed doubts of Its authenticity, but amid that if upon ieiptiry it turned out to be genuine, he would cash it, the pri-mner agreeing to take tome of his notes in payment. The prianner left the check, anti on inpuiry it turned out to be forged in the particulars above. mentioned. Lvt dence was given to show that the check was a forgery to the ex tent charged. The prisoner said nothing in his defence, but called a great many witnesses, who gave him an excellent character. Mr. Baton 111:14.0ex told the Jury there was no evidence, of the forgery, but left them to determine whether the pri soner had uttered the check knowing it to have been forged. The Jury, after a short deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of the uttering. There was a second indictment against the prisoner for a similar offence in utteting a forged check upon the firm of Edmeades and Co. bankers, Maidstone, but this 1,13 s not prosecuted. Sentence of Death was passed upon the pt ironer. The Assizes ended late on Saturday evening. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, SATURDAY, JAN. 7.

A tradesman who resides in lamb's Conduit-street appeared before the Lord 3layor, on Saturday, for the purpose of informing his Lordship that he hail been imposed on by • person who passed for a Spaniard, but whom, from circumstances which had lately taken place, he believed to be a Jew. A few days ago this person called at his shop, and, after much apparent dilfictilty, made himself intelligible. He stated that he had been in India, and that he had just arrived in this metropolis, and wanted some clothes, far which he was ready to pay in the coin of his country. He then produced five or six Spanish star pagodas, said he had a great number of that coin, and was desirous of getting rid of it for the current money of this country. The applicant looked at the coin, and perceive d they were good. He, however, for the purpose of making "assurance doubly sure," gent his wiFe to a jeweller in the neighbourhood to ascertain the value of the coin, and the Spanish customet remained in tie shop looking over some articles of dress. The intilligenre from the jeweller was, that the pagodas were genuine, anti worth about 7s. a piece' he advised the appli cant to give 6s. The Soapier& as soon as lie was informed that his order for clothes should be executed, pulled out pagodas to the amount of 151. and put them into the hands of the tradesman, who gave him clothes to the antount of 101. and St. in English money, after having duly compared the coin with what had been exhibited to the jeweller, a+ he thought. but it happened that the Spaniard bad contrived to put others in their place, and after he left the house it was discovered that all the coin he h ad paid to the tradesman was copper gilt, and not worth three pence. GUILDHALL. Eliza Matilda Morris, an elderly female, a reputed fortune. teller, residing in Great Sutton-street, Clerkenwell, and Sarah Barham ...rt, a woman of the same age, who has been many years housekeeper to Messrs. Wiltshire and Massey, Manchester were. housenten, 113, Cheapside, were charged with being concerned in an exter.sivo system of plunder on the property of the latter gentleman. Buchanan appeared much alarmed at her situation, and in the course of her examination suddenly lost her sense of hearing, as she declared, and it became necessary to accommodate her with a chair. lllr. Wiltshire stated that, about August last, he discovered that a number of pieces of Irish linen and cotton prints had been stolen. and be ',pelted to Harrison, the 31aretialman to assist in detecting the thieves. After watching all the shoptnen and portent by turn; for ecinie time without effect, the officer advised a thorough search through the servants' boxes, &e. in the house, which was accordingly made, except as to the prisoner Buchanan's trunks, in whom the greatest confidence had been placed. This search proved fruitless, but one of the shopmen and a porter were di/inns:mt. The goods however, still continued to disappear, sometimes twenty pieces in • week, till on Thursday afternoon, a woman called at their warehouse and stated that she had a lodger of the name of Morris, a fortune-teller, and seducer of servants, whom she sus pected to be in habit of receiving goods stolen from their premises. Upon this information a warrant wow obtained, and the prisoners taken into custody. Anthony Harrison, the Marshelman, deposed that he discovered nothing about the person or boxes of Buchanan to criminate her, whets he executed the warrant; but in a bureau at Mrs. Morris's, he found 66 duplicates, which he bad mat had time to inquire about; the few that he had seen were not part of the stolen property. Phillis Johnson, of 39, Great Sutton-street, the female who had given the Information, was then swots. She laid Morris came to lodge in her lise about the middle of November, and in a short time commuoicated to her in the mime of a conversation, that Mrs. Buchanan, • particular friend of hers, was a most kind and benevolent woman and had been the principal support of herself and husband during a long illness ; that when she was unable to give give her money she would her pieces of cambric, prints and cottons, which she (Morris ) was in the habit of pledging, first tear ing each piece into proper lengths for garments, and taking care not to carry two pieces ofone pattern to the same shop ; and she felt perfectly safe from detection, because as goon as she reached home she burnt the duplicates ; and if site could sell the article in pledge before its year had run out, she had only to make the usual affida vit before a Magistrate, that she had lost or mislaid the duplicate, and then she got the property into her hands again. Morris never mentioned the name or address of Messes Wiltshire, or of their housekeeper, Buchanan, but spoke of them by their initial letters, as Alta. 11. and Mr. W. On Wedneeday night, however, she got a clue ; Mrs. Morris sent her daughter to fetch away • bundle from Messrs. Wiltshire, and the firm having removed from the Poultry to Cheapside, the girl came back and said she could not find the house; upon which her mother scolded her, and witness heard her say that if she bad looked up at the shutters she would no doubt have teen s board, notify ing where the business was then carried on. Next day she went in search of the board hermit; found such a one with a name beginning with W, in the Poultry; saw Mr. Mae . say, one of the partners, and stated the same particulars to him as she had now done to the Magistrate. At the time the officer made the search at Wiltshire's, Mrs. Buchanan came in great haste, in a coach, to Mrs. Morris's, as the latter informed her, and every thing belonging to those gentlemen was at once destroyed. Morrie, in her defence, slid that she had never destroyed • duplicate ; and she would defy the proof that she had ever pledged an article that did not belong to her. Her husband had been two years and a half in a dying state, and she was, in con. sequence. greatly distressed. She had mortgaged an annuity of ' 501. to Mr. Whitehead, of Burlington-gardens, and had received assistance from Mrs. Buchanan, but never in any other way that. by clothes and money. What the female witness had said was ' totally false, and the pretended information was given in conse— quence of a little tiff between them. Mrs. Buchanan only said that the last witness sad told very great lies. Mr. Alderman SCHOLEY remanded the prisoners for several ' days, to give time for inquiry amongst the pawnbrokers and in out various ether slims, to the amount of '2OOl. but wh:eh he was not at present able to establish. Thomas Little, a I ad, pay-clerk to Messrs. Swan and Edgar, deposed that he paid the 'Meaner the sums of 101. 4s. and 91. 10s. in sovereigns and silver. The priviner, who appeared a gond dent affected, declined mak ing any defence, when he was eoliamtted. UN lON-II A LI.. On Saturday, a gentleman, who gave his name Smith, presented himself before the Sitting Magistrate, and, mani fesfing great impatience fo be heard, rroceeded to make the &I lowing complaint :—Some weeks ago, lie siated;that a valuable superfine top coat was stolen out of his gig, while he was in the act of knocking at a friend's dour in Illackfriarn-road. Ile neither liesrd of nor POW his garment since, until that morning (Saturday), its 11.! was walking abng Itankside, he was surprised to see it upon the hack of a very respectable-looking man. At a distance he knew it to be the ime stolen from hint, but to make doubly sure, before he accused a man of having his coat, he (applicant) drew as near as possible and examined it minutely, the buttons, the seams, th collar, and cloth of which he could positively Swear to. flay. ing ascertained this point be) and doubt , he addressed tfie person wi.h his property on the imbjeet, lint received no satisfaction either one way or the other; however, as he was determ ined on followin g op the business, he took sonic pains and trouble in ascertaining the name and address of the individual, whom he learned was an opu lent man. residing in Lamlf eth. Tne Magistrate here interrupted the applicant, say ing, "Surely you dont't suspect him, then, or is tratirg year cost ?' Applicant—' No. Sir, I don't thmk the gentleman stole it; but I think and know he is the receiver of stoke property." The Magistrate—" Well, and _what do you want me to do for you ?" Applicant—" I hope. Sir. you will grant a warrant against the person of whom I con: plain.' Magistrate—" Indeed I shall do no such thing; the coat, If it was your's, which I think rather improbable, may hive grine through the hands of six or seven different persons before it rams into the possession of the individual against whom you stem to be anxious for a warrant for felony." Mr. Smith said that he was not desirous of having the person who held his coat apprehended as a thief; all he wanted was that he might be compelled to appear at this office by summons, or same such process, to explain the Manner in which became by the coat. The I%IAG IST RAT r. told the applicant that he would issue no process whatever against the person complained of. It was ridieu. loos, lie observed, to make such an application here. If, said the Magistrate, yon are perfectly convinced the coat is your own, and can bring forward evidence to that effect, you can proceed against the party by civil action for the recovery of your top-coat. Tie applicant, on leaving the office, evidently disappointed, re marked that he was fearful, should he commence a civil action for the recovery of the coat, the expenses attending such a mode of obtaining redress would be more than it WNS worth. A CHIMNEY-SWEEP SUFFOCATED. 1,4 An inquest was held at Clapham workhnove, on Satunity aftee. noon, before 31r. Franks, Coroner for that part of the D:teby Lancaster whirl' is situated in Surrey.. and a highly re , peemble Jury, touching the death of John Anderson, a little boy, id" years of age, whu was suffocated in a chimney the prec e di ng morning. The circumstance has excited considerable sensation in Clapham, and a report prevailed that there was a want of precaution on Th s part of a man named Ward, whose evidence will he Hound in not rendering the poor boy that assistance which he fright on discovering his perilous situation. it seems that nn Th um b y night the kitchen-ehmitey of Mr. Gain, a butcher. of Clapham, was discovered to be on fire, and after many efforts tl e fire was pm `out. A quantity of salt was thrown down the ch:rnner, and a piece of strong cloth, well wetted, was put over the top, t o pre. vent the flames from coming out. The cloth was not remov e d until the following morning after the accident, and the poor I s d` t life became sacrificed, it opinion, through the inattention of WATG, whom the Coroner and J ury highly censured. The examination of the witnesses lasted many hours, of whi c h the following is the substance : . . clriltion deposed. that the deceased was in his employ, having been with him about a year. On Friday morning at Kis o'clock the deceased and Andrew Ward went to sweep Mr. Gain' s chimney. A little after six Ward came to acquaint witness that the deceased was groaning in the chimney. Witness was in bed at the time, but instantly got up, and desired ward to return and render the lad what a,.istance he cont.'. Witness passed ti'ard oft the road, and on arriving at Mr. Gaina', found George }tallier was then in the chimney ; and on being asked if the deceased spoke, an. awered in the negative. witness having got on the outside of the chimney, commenced taking off some of the stones. Aker a few minutes had been thus occupied he anceieded in discover. ing the deceased, whom he took in his arms and curial down, laying . him on snme straw. A surgeon was sent for. Some water in the mean time was thrown in the poor boy', face, and some rags were burnt near him. The smoke from the linen went to his nose. When he was lying on the craw he groaned. This was after he had been oat of the chin_ ney about five minutes. The surgeon was some time heave he arrived. It is not an uncommon thing to Rend persons up chimney when it is on fire. Wimeas saw some fire in the chimney when he took the lad nut. In the opinion of witness had he bees present he could have saved the hay's life. If an alarm had bees immediately given when the boy was heard to groan in the chim_ ney, and proper means had been taken, he might hare been ra_ stored to animation. The flue was very hot. and most likely the lad fainted, and fell down, and there laid until he was taken out.— His health was generally very good. 'hr Samuel Solders, a surgeon residing at Clapham. stated that on Friday morning he received a message to go and see a boy who Was said to he dead in amsearance, at Mr. Gain's. Witness west with as much has as palate, and on arriving there saw the de. ceased lying on sonic straw, seemingly dead. From what 'One's collected the led must have been dead some time. His extremities were nearly cold, and his eyes assumed a deadly hue. Witness endeavoured to inflate the lungs, and had recourse to friction, and took a few ounces of blood from the Jugular vein. Ile remained with the deceased until eight o'clock. without perceiving any signs of returning annimation. He went the deceased when he was taken across the way to the workhouse. There did not appear to be any bruises on the deceased. Witness bad no doubt whatever but the boy died front suffocation. Ambrose Ward examined.—l am a jouraeyman sweep. On Friday morning a watchman desired me to go at five o'clock sad sweep a chimney at Mr. Gains's. I understood that the chimney hal been on fire the night before. The deceased accompanied me. I and the boy were let in the back way by Mr. Gaine's house. keeper. On entering the kitchen I perceived a large piece of carpet hanging over the fire-place. This I took down, and then saw a quantity of salt in the grate. I said to the boy—" John, don't you go up if there is any fire in the chimney." lie did not mind what I said, but went through it. I did not force hint up. After the boy had ascended, Mr. Gain, who had come down, told me that the chintney.te'p was covered up. The lad had a.cended then about five minutes. When he was in the chim. ney he asked for some water to be got ready by the time that he came down. I suppose he was then half way up. Some beer was got ready for him. lie made a sad groaning, and came down the chimney as far as the slant. I took off my jacket and went up. I called to him twice or thrice, and he answered. I could not get up to the slant. I was very much frightened,. and thought it best' to go home to acquaint my master in what situation the boy was. Mr. Gain's maid-servant was present when the lad groaned. I did not alarm any one ; but merely said that I would go home and fetch my master. On my way home, I met George Henley, and begged him to go and assist Jack, for I feared he was stork in the chimney. When the boy was lying on the straw 1 saw him open his eyes. The lad could not get out at the top. Hy the Jury—l knew it was dangerous to have a cloth at the top of the chimney. I did not know how to remove it, not being ac quainted with the way out. One of the Jurors—You ought to have gone up, and b? Deglett ing to do no the boy's lite hoe been saerificed.—Witness, I will never be guilty of the like again. you take the machine with you ?—No, Sir. Why did you not 7—l cannot tell. Let this be a warning to you, and never go to sweep a chimney that has been on fire without your master.—lt shall be so. Elizabeth Allen examined—l am servant to Mr. (lain. On Friday morning I got up about half-past six. When I went into the kitchen the boy was sip the chimney. He said, in my hearing, to the man below that the chimney was very warm. The deceased was crying and he asked foe some water; his master, who was then present, desired me to get him some bier, which I 'did, and the min pat it on the chimney-piece, until the boy should come down, be said. The boy cried very much indeed, and the man below told him eat to cry, but come down. There was a great rumbling in the chim ney, and I did not hear any more crying. The man pulled his clothes off and went up in haste, using an oath, and saying, that he would fetch the boy down. After he had been m the chimney about two minutes, he returned in L hurry, and said that he would fetch his master, as the lad was stuck in the chimney. I asked him if there was any danger, and he re plied that there was not—(Several of the Jurors here expressed great indignation at Ward's shameful misconduct.]—The Mall went aw ay, and left the poor lad in the chimney. Some of my master's men who were in the kitchen went to listen at the chimney on my saying that I thought the boy was ill, and they said they could hear him groan. One of the men went into the shop and Raid, " I think the lad is dying up the chimney."—tOne of the Jury here exclaimed • 6 good God, what neglect !I --My master was upstairs when the man listened at the fire-place. On his coming down and listening, he said, that he could not hear any thing. Some of the men thought the lad was asleep. My MUM wished somebody to go and take some stones from the chimney-top. A little boy had by this time arrived, and he ascended the chimney, Mr. Wilson came soon afterwards. and ran to the top of the house, accompanied by my master. Mr. Wilson presently brought the boy down into the kitchen. (The witness here bemme so affected that she could not proceed with her evidnce for several minute.] The lad was placed on some straw. Mr. Wilson cried very snitch at the accident, and called for some vinegar, with which he rubbed the boy's temples. The examination was here suspended a short time, in cons& quence of one of the jurors being told that a lire was raging at his house. It however turned one to be unt-ue, and he presently re turned. The report having originated through a neighbour's chim ney having taken fire. Witness is continuation. The Doctor sent word for us to prepare a warm bath to place the deceased in when he arrived. The bath was not ready when the surgeon came.
