rale; be noticed some object lying by the side of the
mosmettal water within the beckons, and curiosity
nempted him to proceed to the spot, when he found
a het lying on the bank of the pond, which he knew
to have helmeted to Mr. George Bedborougb, a pa-
th:me of independent means, aged shoat fifty, who
till yesterday resided in the " Crescent" at Windsor. Con-
tinuing his search, Gregory found the body of Mr. Bed-
borough lying immersed in the water about twelve feet from

war found on the left side, near the region of the heart,
