FA TA T. A F R A V.—On the night of the 18th ult. a fatal
event occurred at Woodford, near Berkeley, in this minty, which
caused the death of a young man named Thomas Browning. It
appears, that he had been drinking with other young men, at dif-
ferent public-houses, the greater part of the day (Sunday), and had
made an exchnage of coats with one of his companions, named
Workman, who afterwards wished tc have his coat again, which
Browning refused ; and, after some dispute, Workman forcibly
took his coat from him. Another of the lads interfered, and a scats
ensued, in which Workman was thrown down ; when' on his
getting up, lie drew his knife, and plunged it into the body of
Brownins, who died next evening. An inquest was held next day
before II . Joyner Ellis, Esq. and a very respectable Jury, when a
'wallet of manslaughter was returned against Edward Workman,
who has absconded, and a reward is tiered for hie apyrelieuatoo.—

MELANCHOLY OCCUSIENCES.—It is with feelings of
regret we announce, that two inquests were held in this city on Fri-
day last, on the remains of two victims of self-destruction. The
one was held by Mr. Ellison, the Coroner, on the body of Wm.
Camidge, a gardener. residing in Walmgste, who died from tak-
ing a large quantity of arsenic, in treacle. It appeared in evidence
that the deceased attempted to donroy himself about six months
ago, and that when be got liquor he was completely deranged,
which wan the case on Thursday, the day he took the arsenic.
Vertlict—" That the deceased came to his death by taking poison,
during a temporary tit of insanity."—The other case happened on
the Friday morning, when Mr. Wm. Pinder, a respectable pub-
lieu. in Coppergate, retired into bis lodging-room, and shot him-
self with a pistol, which he had purchased of Mrs. Pratt, the pre.
vious day. 111 r. Cowling held an inquest in the afternoon, and the
verdict of the Jury was—" That he shot himself in a fit of lunacy."

SINPrOSED CHILD 31U1DER.-14111L Tuesday evening,
about nine o'clock, a very decently-dressed female was observed
running in a state of distraction from some ruins am the Maze
in the Borough, but the occasion could not be ascertained. }lady
yesterday morning some labourers who were palming the ruins
discovered the body of an infant moat dreadfully mutilated ; the
men immediately alarmed the neighbourhood, and from rumours
were led to believe that the child had been destroyed by the
woman who had been seen the preceding night, whilst others
stated that the body must have been placed there by individuals
connected with one of the Hospitals in the Borough, who had,
after the operation usual in such places, caused it to be disposed
of. The body was taken to the poor-house. Mr. Shelton, the
Coroner, was made acquainted with the circumstance, who has
issued a summons to hold an inquest on the body this day.
