The persons who frequent public-houses about
Paddington, and the Edgware-road, hare, for some
time past, been annoyed by a coachman of the name
of Prwey, who used to make a practice of taking
share of the liquors standing before customers,
without waiting for an invitation. Being known as
a fighting man, and of no common stature, he prae-
ti.est his tricks with impunity, until Monday last.
when a bait was laid for him, at a public-house at
Paddington, which he frequen'ed. Some persons,
who were drinking together, called for halt a pint
of gin ; and, on i:s being placed before them, Pcsa.
try, without hesitation, drank the greater part of it.
s.:..vyet, of the name of Kemp, resented the insult.
and, after a few words, he and the intruder with-
drew to the fields, where a battle took place. At
the commencement of the fi;ht, Kemp shitted from
his opponent's blows ; but, at a convenient oppor-
tunity, he went in, and beat him in a style that ex-
cited the admiration of the speaators. He was
carried off the ground senseless.
A woman nam.al Aiim Petite; who resided in
Parker-street, Bloomsbury, having been missing
for some time, search was made for several days
without elle& Her chamber-door beiag fastened
on the inside, it was suggested by the neighbours
that she might have made away with herself; ac-
cordingly, a constable '4% is procured, and the room-
dour forced, when, shocking to relate, she was dis-
covered extended upon the &tor. with her face
downwards, quite dead ; upon turning her, .he pre-
sented a most dreadful sight, neatly the whole of
the flesh on her lace being eaten off, as is snaps-awl,
by the rats. It is imagined she got intoxicated,
and was suffocated. An Inquest was held yeitesday

On Sunday afternoon, a Gentleman, at the Glnu-
cecter I tote!, Piccadilly, in a •••ititlvn fit of dee:inge-
st:tern, atteirn?tcl to cut his ; immediate
surd al assistance lacing obtained. his recovery is
confidently elpeeted.
Mr. 3 kbIES WIGMORE; sea. a TelseEtAle r
at Y-noyle. in Hants, was found muroered on Thu
dny morning last, on the toad betwent Stockbrid ,e
and Wit chester, about a nitir ane :1 half front Li e
forrner place. He had beet, to Winchester wife a
load of cheese,for the lament, was returning, or ler se-
back on Wedn isday evening, when it is ,uopus ,1 he
was stopped by footpads. and that, on his refusln4lo
deliver his money. they bred at him, a ball Laving
passed throtigN his body, which. from its dire Eli, •1,
was evidently fired by some person on first. The
body had lain some hones on the roa !, and was
quite cold Fiiir Olen dise.vered, iy a shepherd,
early in the moriimg. His le rse u at a little ds-
tance in a field. The body was remove to Stock-
bridge. wl,erz an inquest was taken by the Coroner.
Vet diet - 1T !Ad Merder, by some person unknown.
On sat it lay the body was removed to lino le, and
buried there. Mr. WIGIIMIC has left a widow and
nine childten to lament his fate. There is yet no
elite to discover ti r perpe :tents of this deed. They
did not ;feel their perpose of robbery, as Mr. Wig-
s/ones pot:wits' was all found on him.
The murder of Mr. Bt.insur having excited uni-
versal curiosity and solicitude; and much having
been said with respee to the proisability, nr improe
()Ability, that Mr. PATCH is the guilty person, we
think it but just th.tt the public opinion, on so deli.
tate a point, should at least be suspended, till the
decision of a judicial court he known. In support
of our sentiment, we would remind our Readers of
the case of I.li BRUN ; but. as every one may not
be in possession of the narrative, we here detail it
as particularly as our limits will admit:—
" On the etith November, 1(09, Lady Mazel, a
respectable personage residing at Paris. was found
cruelly murdered, in her own room. From many
concurrent circumstances, almost amounting to ac-
tual proof, the murder was charged upon lie Brun,
her old and most confidential domestic, and so ap-
parent was his guilt, either as the murderer, or an ac-
cessary, that all farther search or enquiry seas deemed
unnecessaty ; consequently, the unfortunate man
was brought to the reek, in order to force him
to discover his accomplices[ and, on the 23cl
of Feht nary, Keen. he underwent the dreadful ope-
rati rl,sicted in denying the charge ; and, on
the I ct •••cli, he died in prison, of an injury re-
ceived desist the enenre. A few reeks after, a
c'an of the name o' zi'erry was aporehended on
suspicion rf the nmrdi-r. He had been in Lady
Mezat.'s service. hr • discharged on a discovery
that he had rolAsed is Lady to a considerable
amount. Various tab appearing on evidence
tending to substantiate his guilt, on the 211 of
July he was put to the torture, when he confessed
that he was the murderer. and gave such a cir-
cumstantial account of the manner in which he
p.rpetrat-d the horrid deed, as entirely to ac-
c,_ Balm. and cleat up every mystery.—
letetecbate., after bis er nfemien, he was • xe-
cuted, and died declering he bar: no accomt • "
We do net mean ;o co tanned Ai the ache:..:t s
of Me. PAT"ii we h not the tn-n. If
he cannot stiff/ : ton in.. ; het, if ineneere. we 1.2 r
that the pnbli • nOrni n be an prejudiced against
him, that it will be vary difficult ere: to estabilei
his cr 'dit." '; •
