Wilberforce, was committed for trial by the York magis-

years of age, residing in Hope-street, in that city. The
prisoner, it appeared, had been irritated against the
deceased because the latter refused to let him have the
keys to get out a cart and an ass belonging to his father.
The deceased, having been several times violently struck
by his son, was seized with a succession of epileptic fits,
from which he never rallied.

DESTRJJCTION of. COVENT GARDEN THEA.TRE.--OD
Saturday, Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster,
resumed his official inquiry as to the late destruction of
Covent-garden theatre. M A
r. nderson (the Wizard), Mr.
Smirk' and others. were examined.
Albano, Mr. Sydney
The principal points were, however, contained in Mr.
Anderson's evidence, who stated that he was in the carpen-
ter's shop at one o'clock in the Tuesday afternoon, to
inspect a portable stage he had preparing, to exhibit his
pantomime at Glasgow and other places. There was no
dispute with him and his employes, but there was one, he
believed, between Palmer, the gas fitter, and Sloman. He
said, in reference to the statement of a workman, that about
ten o'clock his son took a lighted candle to the foot of the
ladder leading to the carpenter's shop to show him the way,
that there was a string,rent order that under no pretence
whatever should a candle be used. A #reman'a lamp was
always ordered to be used. He did not believe the gas had
anything to do with the fire, but could not account for it.
The inquiry was adjourned.
