named William Whiting tor a breach of the Game

rabbit in it, and another "tiled" in the withy bed.
He went to tell his master, and on returning found
the rabbit jiad been taken, and the trap it was in
"tiled." He watelled till 10 o'eloaki wheti defen-
dant came and picked up the traps. He said to
him, "Well, William, you be a takin ov 'em up
then?" and William replied, "Es I be; I was a

Isquitsr.—On Wednesday, W. H. Atkinsofi, Esq.,
eoroner, held an inquest on the body of a young fenny*,
named ilaokel Toms, who died suddenly on the previous
day. From the evidence of deceased's mother it
appeared that on Tuesday her daughter came home
about 12 o'clock, and after resting about an hour, *ow
plained of a bad headadhe, and went to bed. In the
morning as she Still Complained of the same pain she
told her not to get up. Wittiesd set* her every few
minutes up to about 20 minutes to one o'clock, dud had
not left her more than five minutes when on going
upstairs she found her dead. She had been moaning
previously, but was quite sensible up to the last time
witness saw her. Had examined the body since death,
there were no bruises or marks of violence. Deceased
was 14 years at age last February.—Decima Tabor,
corroborated the above evidence, and also stated that
the NAT wad greatly discoloured, She persuaded
deceased's mother to go for a &after, who sail she
would as soon as she had given the children their
dinner. Her mother was with her nearly all the
morning, and did not leave her for more than ten
minutes at a time. —French, Daniell Lys, surgeon,
stated about two o'clock on the previous day he was
sent to see the deceased and found her dead. He
examined the body but could not find any sign of
external violence. Having enquired the symptoms, so
far as he could ascertain he believed she was suffering
from a flow of blood to the head, where he thought it
probable a bleod Vogel had given way producing • fit
which caused death. It was impthisible to give •
positive reason or cause of death but all the syuiptoms
pointed to such a ooncluaion.—Verdict, "Death from.
natural calms."
