to bittlegate, so as to fall within the jurisdiction of the
Corooer for tbe county, in consequence of the Coroner for
the oohs of Grantham bring from home.

It appeared that the deceased arrived in Ponton ea the
denday evening, sad list his eccrutrie condom attracted the
'whet of different persons. la Hie course of the evening be
joined • party of Ranters, sad about nine o'clock Mr. rawer
was called to wiliest his desseasour. Coscrivieg his sited to
be Is a deranged 'este' or that he was tote:Weird, Mr. F.
gave seders that be should be taken into his stable, where he
seas locked up, together with another stranger who shortly
afterwards epplieJ fur a night's lodging. Early the next
moraine Mr. F.'s *reveal went to liberate the two men, and
on opening the door was much terrified at the sight of a per-
Doe lying weltering is his blood. He instantly gave the
alarm; •pos which his master, with the constable, proceed-
ed to the stable, and found the deceased lyieg quite dead,
having made an incision of great depth arrow the Inside of
his left arm is the middle joint, from which a real quantity
of blood had issued, and baying a resew firstly grasped its his
right Wed.
The saber straower, who was in the same stable with the
deceased, elated that, although exceedingly deaf, be was
awakened by a di!mal scream about midnight, somewhat
like the bark of
.as dog, and supposing it nothing more, he
went again to aleep, aid did not discover that the deceased
bad killed himself maid ?tidy un the Monday morning
The lecy, after • full isivestiptios, being satisfied of his
innocence, and being convinced also that the sir ed la-
boured under mental derangs meat, and that io such state be
had committed epos himself the rash act above stated,
whereof he died, gave a verdict to that effect.
The deceased was apparently about 30 years of age, about
ye (ea eight inches high, ern! well proportioned. His
dress was like that of a common labourer in this neighbour-
hood, having on a corduroy jacket and troweers, a red waist-
coat, a rotted bat. a new pair of half-boots, sod a cleats shirt,
with another is Its hat. la his pockets be bad but a small
chop comb, a few halfpence, and a tobacco-box. Nothing
could be discovered about biro whereby his name or parish
could be ascertained.

ten, before C. Hamm, Gent. Coroner. on view of the body
of a maa unknown, who was found dead in the divisioe
drain between the abuse parish aad the adjoining one of
Frampton, with his fret in the water, sod ►is bead sad liar
upper part of his body reclining on the bank. From his
general appearance, sad the concurrent circumstances elicit-
ed on the inquiry, it is feared that this ualoriunale being
was reduced to lb. very lowest stage of wretchedness, sad
perished through absulate want. Oa examination of ►is
pockets sot a sneale coin of any hind was found bet several
pawnbrokers' duplicates from Poplar, near London, in which
It appeared that his name was Rartol, or Rama. He wan
wee nearly arm the spot where he'waa found, from Thum
day last up in the time he was discovered, namely, &lathy
night, tykes ►e appeared only just dead; and, what is most
remarkable, he had silver applied for support, or craved
charity, at say of it.. adjuioing houses during the whole of
that time.

Tbe verdict recorded .t«-Foored dead; het how or 4,
what manse he ram to his death Ito evideare to the Jurors
doth appear.
