CAUGHT AT LA fruiterer, named Thomas Fooks,
who in May last, indulged too freely at the shrine of'
BarChus, and thus pat himself within the grim clutches
of the law, as drunk and disorderly, but who abscon-
ded at that time, thought perhaps at this season of the
year he might return and see "the old folks at home."
Acting upon this suggestion, he returned a few days
ago. but in May last a summon& had been issued
against hoc, to which, however, Fooks did not appear,
and since then • warrant bad been issued for his appe-
hension, and Ito, shortly after putting in his appearance
here, he was pounced upon by P.C. Hanham, on Tees-
day,and conveyed to "durance vile" where he passed the
night. On Wednesday he was brought before the
borough magistrates, and mulcted in the penalty of El,

' INQurxr.—An inquest was held at Long-road, on
Friday, before Dr. Wybrents, coroner, on the body of •
young woman, about 19 years of age, named Mary Ann
TOMS the daughter of • blacksmith. It appears that
the deceased prematurely gave birth to a child on
llonday, bet died shortly afterwards, although Doctor
Stuckey was in attendance. and did everything in his
power to preserve the fast-flowing ribb of life, but all
attempts were useless. A post-mortem examination of
the body as, made, but there were no appearances of
anything likely to canoe death. The Jun returned a.
verdict of" Died by Um visitation of God."

look at the child, it was asleep with its utether. About
six or mean o'clock on Saturday morning witness took

good•for-nothing hussy, you have killed the child," to
