A Tea t• n i't T/cx LT,— Mr. John It"iggett, of tiray's I an lane, attended by Mr. French, the Barrister, appeared before the Magistrate with a charge against f'ainy, a street-keeper, lie longing to the Foundling limpital estate, for leaving got money under false pretences, upon what is genarigly termed a Tyburn ticket. from the statement of the Learned Counsel, corro'rotated by Mr. 'l , i' iggett, it appeared that four years ago a Isurglar entered the pre mises of the prosecutor, Scut in his retreat he was apprehended, with the ;miner upon him, by Wiggett, who called in I 'ariby, as a constnide, to his assistance. The thief was convicted capitally at the Old Bailey , . but until lately no application was mink to the ltecoren for the Tyburn ticket, which exempts the owner of it from serving net parochial office. Catthy applied for it some time ago, but the Recorder would onli grant it to the original prosecutor. The defendant induced Mr. Wiggett to imply for the ticket, the former paying the usual fee for obtaining it, which was dune, and the prosecutor was fnetlicr induced, not knowing the value of the i document. to transfer the u e to a Mr. hurler, who paid 41. to Cadby for it ; hut ever since e year 11118, by Act of Parliament, tacit tickets are not trarsfera e, although valuable to the original 19.1644.330 T, and which value was utskr.own to kViggett. The whole charge against Cadby was more for the recovery of the ticket, it heing aterreptitiously obteintd, and not of any value to Mr. Butler. although very convenient for Wiggett. tkoloy, it opt:tared, was at the espouse of getting a regular 'tramp at%sed to the document, in order to make the transfer legal ; but Mr. French argued, and which argument was tontinned by clue Magistrate—that such transfer was useless and ill-gal. The ticket vvus delivered up to Mr. Wiggett, upon his pn)ing a Ville*, the fix paid the rte. cooler's clerk by Cadby, who lost his tune to obtaining it, and the expense of the stamp fur the transf.r, as well as being obliged to retund the 41. received from Mr. Butler fur it. hist It 1,110R01!(;II-tiTREET.

William Hall, being swam, depneed that he had known the deenera for :littera' years. He was about sixty years of ale, and was living on his property at his residence, New-road, Idiegton, in which neighbourhood he had several freehold houses. On Sun. I morning last witness wee in bed at hit lodgings, next house to that' where the deceased lived, when he was awoke out of his sleep (the time beetle about three o'clock) by Mrs. Lord, a female who had ; ' been nursing the &ceased, calling out that " Mr. Hart was in the I , water-butt.' Witnes ► it:dandy got out of bed, and after alanniug ;asethes lodger (Telma Allen) out of hi. sleep, they proceeded, 1 together with !I r. Loraine() the deceased's back-yard, where they perceived his legs protruding from the water-butt, and Is bead. i foremost in it, which contained about four or nee feet deep of water. They released him from his dreadful situation, but be ap. !peered quite dead; no. withstanding, he sent for a surgeon, but it , wile useb.ee to apply remedies. The deceased west a widower, and had no children. Witness is connected with a religious sect in the neighbourhood, to which the deceased was introduced some time ago ; anti daring the period of his attendance, which was eery maw ; tai, at all Omit- meeting*. lie pourtrayed the strictest devotion, and I was much respected by all the members ; but tweedy the dec eased became afflicted with the rheumatic gout. which caused him to re ! stain at home, which interfered materially with the performance of his religious ditties. and viewed to prey upon Lis nand so as to base Mewed it considerably, and despair had full if b • Rend, which originally poeseseed ea s e and con ort ; and when. I ever einem met hint, lw would express a desire for death, raying he wan troubled with devils, and that Satan visited him every night. 1 Wit endeavoured to remove this miserable delusion, by render ing Rim every oweiolatory advice, and vignetting him to drive the', actinism front his imagination i but the deceased contended that! his intsginetion had not been imposed upon; that he had too: strong proofs that : he Devil himself had visited him, which ire was l lin the constant habit of doing every night. Witness frequently heard hitn talking to Satan during the night, as be could hear him 1 thromeh the partition, and requesting him to go away. The deceased described his Satanic Majesty and his visits as followe : ; That when he retired to bed his ettention would be attracted by distant founds, shortly after which Satan would make his appear ance at the window, through which he would enter the room, and advance towards the bed, while the deceased (as may be imagined) i lay trembling with tear. The Devil would then mount the bed : stead. and eat upon his stomach, and breathe down Ins throat with ! such violence, that it had the elfect of depriving him of his breath ; after this the deceased would say the Lord's Prayer, and beg of the Devil to leave him. After a short time he would rush through the ' window and disappeer. [Ennead heard the deceased frequently he. 1 prating the Lords ['Toyer, and 'speaking, as if to the Devil, during the right; indite (witness) used frequently to prey by him, and ; read the Bible. The deceased wed to drink a considerable quantity of water, sometimes . a quart at a time. Does not suspect any body threw him 0 own act, whether by aiteident or intention it was impoesible for him to any. He had two cuts over the forehead when taken out of the water-butt, and had en his great coat, shirt, breeches, and stockings. Mrs. Mary Lard, an elderly widow tat 7, deposed that she had been sequahited wi th the deceased fur the Lest tourteen years, dur ing part of %bleb time his mind appeared to be affected. In con. sequence of hie Wane be requested witness to attend at hie house, to prepare a few necessaries, to which she consented. He used to tell witness that the Devil was in the habit of calling on hint under the most flightful circumstances a ben he was alone, but remained away when any body was with hint. Witness remained with him during the whole of Saturday night last. The deceased went to bed, and witness tweesiosally las down outside the clothes iu her apparel to sleep. At a little before three o'clock in the morning she awoke out of a trifling sleep, and felt toe the deceased, who was then in bed ; she shortly afterwards awoke again, and on putting her hand across t h e bed, the deceased was miesing. She arose is ' the greatest alarm and ran into the yard, where, alter searching for him. she observed his legs protruding from the water-butt. She instantly alarmed the last witness, who came and took him out. Ile was quite dead. Henry Hall corroborated the above evidence. Them being no direct evidence to prove by what means ths de ceased got into the water-butt, The Jury returned a verdict.—" That the deceased was found drowned in a water-butt, having been previously iii a stem of tem porary derangement." Danene re L ACCIDIF:NT.—Yepterda a ft ernoon a Coroner's In quest was held at the Three Mariners, In Fore-eweet, Cripplegate, before Thomas Shelton, Esq. on the body of Richard Manville. Richard Ship deposed, that he lodged at Mr. nloweley's att. Fore street, where the deceased also lottg, who came home on Monday night very much intoxicated. Witness gave him a light, and he retired to his bed-room. About half an hour afterwards he heard something fall on the pavement. lie understood by sonic person it etas the deceased who had fallen from the attic window. Air.. Meseley stated, the deceased lodged at N I house about tare week.. NVitness had been retr, amf returned home about ten o'clock, and was int:timed by a female bring on the opposite side the deneeroits situation of the deceased ; but from the violence of his temper, she was afraid to pa to him. She afterwards heard the deceased had fallen from his bell-room window. Mary Ringwood deposed, she kept a vegetable-atoll opposite the 'totem where the deceased lived. She had observed him reclining his head on hie arm upon the parapet-wall, and mentioned it to the people of the house; about a quarter before eleven o'clock the deem-mil fell, anti in falling his feet struck her bonnet and cap h on' her head. His skull was fractuted in a dreadful manner , and is brains were scattered about, and his body bleeding profusely.

Several other witnesses were examined, but gave no additional I ' , rider. cr. The Coroner having summed up the nbove evidence, the Jory tett:rune a verdict of " Accidental Death." One of the Jurymen addressed the Coroner, and asked whose duty it was to appoint places to hold inquests ? The Coroner said, it was the duty of the Churchwardens, but that the Beadle gerivilly appointed a place. The Juryman said, his reason for asking the question was, that the body was brought in the first instance to this house, but the landlord mitteed to take the corpse in ; it was afterwards conveyed to the Green Dragon, kept by a widow woman, who took it in. and was at some trouble and a spensc in cleaning the room where the de ceased was deposited, and he trusted she might be awarded some thing fur her expenses. Ile at the same time expressed surprise -that the inquest wen not held at the Green Ivragoo, as h e eanee t e ee she was beg entitled to any emolument arising under such eireum. stances. One of the Churchwardens cuing present said, there was no fund for defraying such expenses ; the only thing the parisli could allow waits. to be apart by the Jail. The Coroner lamented the want of liberality eu the part of the parishes in eases of the proem nature, as, he said, in many in stances when accidents occurred, medi al gentlemen bad not only ' to give their assistance at the time, but also to attend the inquests ' without receiving any remunerotion whatever , and he (the Coroner) I conceived if something was aloweal in such eases it would lot be Funioiss 1 . /styli/U.—Yesterday afternoon an Inquest was held before Mr. CELL, Coroner for VVest 11l i l later, nt the Roll public house.

Ilc died on Tuesday evening, and yesterday witness opened the body, when he lound a rib on the left side fractured, and bruises nn the same side. There was some effusion in the chest, and tuarks of Inflammation on the lungs on the right side. These, no doubt, caused li;s death.
