An Inquest was held at three o'clock yesterdav, at the Grange Inn, in Carey-stfeet e on the body of Henry Hoadley, farmer, in LuiSfield, in Surrey, who died suddenly last Saturday afternoon, in the Tap of the Angel Inn, back of St. Clement's, Strand, Ateernoxy (TELL, Esq. Coroner. -The - first Witness examined, was Mr. WilliaM Fisher; ,vho keeps the Angel Inn Tap ;. he staled that last, Saturday, the 31st, jrattuary, about four o'clock in' the afternoon, the deceased was brought into his tap e room,.by tw o men : h e a pp eare d to hin t to - he very much e in liquor. ThertWo "men said, they found the, deceased sitting on the step of the doer -of Mr. Jcnes, fruiterer, at-the corner of the Angel Inn gate Way. The. Witness aermitted him to be seated on a bench, near,. the, entrance Of. the tap— roomi'andrfitiding he' leaned forward; and was in clined to fall, :and there being,no table beforeehini,. he , had hint removed to another,part of the ro ome where - there was a table. On being seated there,* immediately siid down on the -floor, where he Jay; on hiifaee i snoring, and, :to - all appearance, sound . asleep. Deceased. lay in that situation, to the best of Witness's recolletti o n e about two hours, when Mr. Turton, a farrier, - who' waS in. company with two or three persons in the tap-roan - 1, lifted him up, and I think the Man is cly Upon .which Mr. Fisher ran e for . assistance, and - sent for Dr. Stanton, of the Strand, who came, and examined the deCeased. Witness beinplarerted, and called away, did not knoW what pssed, till about half an hOur afterwards, when he ->vas inform-. ed the man Was dead a ed . was i - ,2c1 by tho,e pre sent to- search his pockets ; he did so, and: found a ten pound Bank of England Note, No. 6968—dated the i:eth -day of November, - 1806 ; one *lintel, in gold.; six. shili!ngs and si - .inence, in . silver,; three pence in halfpeece ; a ';ilv'cr watch, a pocket-knife, a podketChandLrchie';', 'and a pair of :gloves. Mr.' Fisher's evidence being clbsed, Mr.,John Stanton, surgeon, of ,the Strand,. being sworn, said, that last Saturday, about six o'clock in the evening, a person came from Mr. Fishery of the Angel Inn Tap,: desiring' to come, as there was a man dying there. Mr. Stanton being at .that time very busy, sent his Assistant, who at tempted•to bleed the deceased 'in the arm. Mr. Stan ton came a few. minutes after Wards, and opened the temporal artery, hat no blool issued; and the . Man appeared to i.im to b e quite dead.; he exa mined. the head and body, Very minutely, btu dis covered .no Of violewee; nor did he perceive any smell which could, lead hint to think the de ceased had been in liquor. Being interrogated by, the Coroner; as to his opinion of the cause of the death, he answered, it was a fit of apoplexy. Mr, Thomas floadley, of Cheddiugstone, in Kent, elder hrother to the deceased, said, that the deceased was subject to an asthma from a child, and would be, at times, for twelve or fourteen hours, in a siate of suffocation ; and that it .was at first brought on by a ,fright. On being questioned as' to the fright, he said, his brother having gone to call his, father - to dinner, a man called for a gun to shoot him ; from which time he - never enim'ed a good state of braid). The evidence being closed, the Jury 'returned a , verdiel of--:Died Ly the visitation of God, through an apoplexy. • The Coroner granted his general warrarttfor the removal of the body, whiCh was carried away last night, in a caravan, to Linsfield, in Surry; The deceased was a very respectable farmer, about 45 years of age, and has left a wife and seven children ; the eldest fourteen years old, and the ' youngest only seven weeks. He left his home last ! Saturday morning, and came to the Three Tuns, at . Croydon, - front - which place he set out at twelv e o'clock the same day, .and' came to town, in com patty with a Mr. King, a neighbouring farmer. H e I had left his horse in the Borough, and intended to return home the same night. :The watch -paper, in the case of his watch, led to the discovery of 'his name, &c. The Overseers of St. Clement's are en , titled to much praise, for the pains which they took on Sunday, to discover his friends, and their- pre caution in breaking the- melancholy news to his fa, mily, in the most humaee manner. • The premises of Mr. Hammett, No. 21 , in High • street, Lambeth, Linen-draper, were broke open on Sunday night last bet Ween the hours of 7 and 9 o'clock, in the absence of the family, and robbed of above I 000 yards of muslins of different sorts ; 200 pairs of hose, 5 $ yards of bombaieen, and 'a variety of. other articles, in all valued at more than 4001. The parties suspeaed of committing the robbery are three' men, who took goods away in a hackney, coach that was waiting a short distance from the premises. Early the same morning the dwelling-house of Mr. Batten, at No; 4, Canterbury-place, Lambeth, was found to have been broke open, and all the portable articles iii the lower part of the house - takea , wwayi among which wee a very large quantity. of damp linen, knives, forks, spoons,/ kitchen utensils, Sze. with which the villains got clear of, Another . burglary was committed in Kent -street, the Same night, - .at a corn-chandler's, and property to the amount of i 01. and upwards taken away. On Monday evening a young man, of genteel appearance,' who, we understand, was recently a clerk in an extensive mercantile establishment, made an attempt to put, a period to his existence, by shooting ,himself, near the Half-way House, at Knightsbridge. He had discharged a pistol at his head, -which • providentially made only a• slight wound;. and he was prevented froM any further at tempt of a-13imilar nature. The young man had recently gope,intp business for himself, but did not succeed, and he became, in 'consequence, deranged in his intellects. He was taken to the house of his brOther in Portland -street. Wednesday. the body ola man was seen' floating near Rochester Bridge, by a person who - was passing along it, and who gave' immediate intimation of the circumstance to some watermen. The watermen proceeded directly to the place where the body was seen, ,and soon returned • with it. Th e un f ortu n ate person was dressed in a very respedable manner, and had every appearance of a Gentleman. •Up wards of 20 guineas and some silver were found in his pockets, but not any thing that could lead to a discovefy of his name or connexions. LA II REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FELL 3. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. • -1 Mr. WILSON said; tat he was instructed by Mr. i Ans'ell, one ofthe SheriS of the county and city of Norwich, to api,ly,to the Court for leave to •file a 1 criminal inf , )rnfation itzninst a Mr. Charles Hardy, , l a grocer of that city... Oti the 3d of.NoveMber last, I wh le the Eigaion - for N'orW ich Was lm6c:ceding, • i se a veral riots were (x_:ited in the Market-place, 1 and - Mr. Ans- was called upon, in his official ~ , I capacity, to quell the disturbance. Accordingly; 1 attended by Constables, he proceeded - to the spot, where be found a considerable mob, and learnt, that a Gentleman had been dragged from hishors'e by the populace. The Sheriff direelly took into cuS tody, one man who seemed to be particularly active in creating this confusion, and was proceeding to the I -Guilatill, to commit him for his misconduct, i when he was opposed by . Mr. 'Hardy, •WhO Iplaced himself immediately in Mr.'Ansell's, path; held up his fist in .his face, in a. menacing pasture, abused hirn•most.grossly, and called upon the popu lace not to suffer the petsbn taken by the Sheriff to be ! coaduded to the Guildhall, .and a rescue in. conse quence was effeded. . The man ran away towards a lane leading from the Market-plate,. whither Mr. Anseil followed 'him. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the lane, he was again met by Mr. Hardy aui the mob, •ind the person - of whom they were in pursuit escaped. Upon this.the Sheriff- seized upon another rioter, but when he attempted to carry him ' away; Mr. Hardy again interfered, and, with the most voCiferous abuse, swore-that he would ungown the Stientf,: and, at the saeletime, rushing upon him,. tore his robes from his , shcrilders. The man taken into custody the last time was likewise rescued, and Mr. Ansel! vv.:ls:obliged to return to te Guild hall without being able to' quelli.4he disturbance raised arid supported by Mr. Hardy: ' Lord ELLtNBOROUGH.—" . You say, Mr. Wilson, that this affair took place on the 3d of November : Why (lid you not apply in the last term .? The Court expects persons who are to receive its extraordinary' interposition to Come in the first instance, or the matter must be left to the ordinary tribunal, unless sufficient .ground of delay be shewn." Mr. WlLsos.— ,, The fact, my Lord; is, that the Sheriff was then engaged in the election for the city of Noryt it b, and immediately afterwards the elec tion for ,the county took place. In consequence of the. frequent riots which occurred, Ms - Ansell was very much employed, particularly as his brother Sheriff, from infirmity, was unable to perforin, his public .duty." . Lord ELLENBOROUGH.-;—" I think that reasonably accounts for your not coining earlier. Take a-Rule lo shew cause." 'Married, yet, as that term Might be differently 01 ) ::. plied, , she alight only mean to say, that a sort el 'form - of marriage might haVe passed between C l ' 3 parties, which. was not at all binding in Law. Suc h instances .weie unhappily too frequent ; he, there' tore, hoped, that except, the case of coverture were mdtie out by other documents beside the Defend ant's affidavit, the Court would refuse the applica' tion to cancel the bail:bond. Serjeant BEST observed, that supposing the whol of this scandalous affidavit true, the fad of her cot verture was inljo wise impaired by it. The answet even of Captain Carey to the Plaintiff's letter did not declare she was not his wife ; but only said, that he could not then ace* the draft. By . permittin g her to use his gam;•, and even calling her in his let ter Mrs. Carey, the matter was almost placed beyond, a doubt ; but the Counsel observed; lie could even bring in . evidence the deposition of the Chaplain of the Reginient, who married the panic's, if the Learn' ed Judges thought: it abscilutely. necessary. The Court not deeming any- thing farther neces" sary to establish the validity of her coverture, grant' • ed the application. • • • - • MR - . TAPLIN.—Lately died, in Queen-street, „, ware-road, Mr. Wm. TAI'LIN, Veterinary Surgeon , k Author of. the Gentleman's Stable Dire,Ctiory, mid various other publieations'; and which gave rise to that improvement in the -Veterinary Art 'which has since taken place through the medium of a pub lic Institution, and the ettOrts of ,inc!i% idual geuiO and industry.

About two years since, from tifmily ammtibn, leis facuities be caMe impaired; and froth that period hi, ..eaith'had been declining until hi; death. The following shocking catastrophe has befallen, Mrs. SIMISON, the wife of an Attorney, in Poland street, Oxford-street. This Lady was sitting_alone in the kitchen of her honse, dti MOndaynight, Wait ins the arrival of Mr. S. after her fatnily had - ietired to rest: At ,about twelve o'clock a Genticnian who lodged: in the house .was 'ilartued by a sa - .0.. as if something was burning, Which induced him to go down. - stairs; and, on his approachina the kifchen door, he discovered the 'unfortunate. Mrs. S. lying by the side of .the fire-place, with her garments completely burned to ashes, and the room also U . fire ;• the Gentleman alarrn'ed the - neighbours, but all assistance towards savin& the life of . the fortunate sufferer proved_ unavailing, although it v.' 35 the cause of momentary respite from death. The 'unfortunate Lady remained aliVe until tiv e o ' c l o ci‘ in the morning, in the most extreme agony, during ' which time she-‘,vas,sensible, and took leave of her. family, whom she had expressed a wish to .have in her sight. The deceas'ed was a handsome womau,i about forty years of age:, and has le.: a son and foal daughters. .. WHALER V. VIN§ITTART. This case came before the Court on a demurrer to thedeclaratioti in:the action brought by the Plaintiff against the Defendant, a:Magistrate, for an assault and false imprisonment. A dispute had arisen be tween the lessees of a turnpike -gate leading to Mar low, -and' the Plaintitf,' who - refused to pay the toll. Qtr thLi account Mr. Whaley was taken before the Defendant, Avho committed him to prison for two months. In support of the demurrer it was objetacti, that the Plaintiff had declared for an assault, when in fa& no assault - had been committed. Mr. HULTON, on behalf-of . tile Plaintiff, ,argued, that his Client, - in pleading the assault, was per-. feEtlY cOrrea, for the 'Magistrates bad caused Mr:' Whaley to he apprehended, and that fad implied in itself corporal touch, which was in law an assault.— , Another objection had likewise been made, viz. that the residence . :of the Plaintes Attorney was , not sufficiently precise, inasmuch as though he lived in - . ...:- ...--....._ Holborn, it was not stated to be either itt tke County '.
