REPRESENTATION OF RY E.—The writ was received
on Saturday, and was forthwith proclaimed. Scarcely •
rumour of opposition was is circulation, and nn doubt was
entertained of Mr. Curteis's unopposed return. He is soniof
the late member. The nomination was fixed for yesterday!
SUSPECTED MURDER.—An inquest was held on
Tuesday evening at the Windsor Castle Inn, near Bath, on
the body of a young man named David Gale, found on the
preceding Sunday morning in the river Avon, about.a mile
from Bath. The deceased, it appears, was a farmer residing
near Chippenham, Wilts, and left hishorne on Saturday the
11th of March, to attend the Bath market, but never after-
wards returned. Bills were distributed, offering a reward
for any information concerning him, but none .119.1 given
until after the body was found, when it sees ascertained that
thardolledeed had been, in the course of the Saturday after-
noon, at a disreputable house, and as he was supposed to
bare had a large sum of money upon hint, strong suspicions
were excited that he had met hie death unfairly. The evi•
dence at the inquest was almost solely confined to that of the
woman whom he accompanied home, and the inmates of the
house, who deposed that he was tipsy and left to go to the
railway office. A post mortem examination was made, and
the surgeon was of opinion that death resulted from drown-
ing. No signs of violence appearing on the body, the jury
returned a verdict of " Found drowned, but by what means
he rame into the water there is no evidence to show."
