CORONER'S INQUEST.
An inquest was held before THOMAS STIRLfI4O, Eq. on the
body of William Battue, at the Cricket-Ground public house, who
was found drowned in the Regent's Canal.
Mr. Bayley, of 53, Earl-street, Lisson-grove, stated that on
Thunsloy last the witness was on the banks of the canal, and per-
ceival something floating on the surface ; nothing but the crown of
the bead was perceptible; On body of the deceased came within
yard of the bank, on which lie pulled him on short. The body ap-
peared to have been some days in the water.
Mrs. Parka stated that she knew the deceased, and that he was
a sober and orderly young man, who lit the lamps in the Alpha
'Cottages division.
Juror.—Was it his duty to go to light lamps in the place where
be was found ?
Witness.—Certainly not ; there are no lamps where the deceased
was found.
Thomas Battue, brother of the deceased, saw hint at the corner
of Windham-place, on the morning of Sunday. Observed him
ray different since his marriage, and certainly believes that he was
jealous. Had hinted something of that kind to witness several
times since his marriage, which was only sic months since.
CoaosEß.—Yray do you think that he did the fatal act M a lit
of dery gement, or front jealousy ?
Witness—Sir, I really think that he committed the unfortunate
affair through jealousy.
Mary Battue, wife of the deceased, stated, that on the Saturday
lie came home as usual, and gave her` his money. Ile (the de.
ceased) went to bed at the usual hour. he was in the habit of
calling him; she did SO; but he refused to go to his usual occupation,
and la in bed until nine o'clock on the Sunday. VVitimus begged of
him to eat some breakfast, which he refused ; and went out, leasing
the last shilling he had in his picket.
The witness, who was a very interesting young woman. not more
than nineteen years of age (the deceased not more than twenty)
, here burst into a flood of tears, mid was carried to an adjoining

apartment.
The Jury, tiller a consultation for nearly an hour, returned
their verdict, " That the deceased was found drnirresi, but by
what means he cane into the w►ter the Jury cannot tind out, but
they suppose from jcal ousy."

SUSPICION or .11uttorn.—Yesterday a Corona's
quzst was held at the Alfred's Head, London.road, before TitomAS
bIIELT(I3I. Esq., on the body of a ncw-born bastard male child. I
of Elizabeth Taylor. After hearing the evidence, the Jury re-
turned a verelict—" That Elizabeth Taylor was unintentionally de-
livered of the deceased child while sitting on the privy ; that the
child fell from her into the privy, and was afterwards found
therein ; but whether it was born alive cie not, no evidence
appears."
A dreadful storm, accompanied by thunder. lightning,

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday a poor woman who keep. an oyster-stall in Derby-
West, Parliament-street, appeared before the sitting Magistrate.
E2IIIIiND MA KKKK wn, Esq., and stated, that at a late hour on
the pewooffing night three young men, very genteelly dressed, who
appeared to have been enjoying themselves rather freely over the
bottle, approached her stall, and under the exhilarating influence
of the jolly god to whom they had been sacrificing, proceeded,
" by way of lark," to kiss and pull her about, and take other little
liberties of the like nature. One of them playfully. snatched the
shawl from bet shoulders, and her efforts to regain it produced a
struggle with all three. She, however, succeeded at length In her
object, and the party left her in high glee and good humour.
When they were gone she replaced her shawl on her *adders, and
shortly afterwards, im moving about to clew away her stall, she
felt a weight swinging by one corner of her aWsrl, which on exa-
mination she discovered whlsiery handsome watch, the append-
ages of which had apparn-11f'1 entangled with the fringe of her
shawl in her struggle withieggyiter, and thus had been drawn from
his pocket. She now prodiaffiThe watch, and said her object in ap.
'dying to the Magistrate was, that the best means might be adopted
of restoring it to the owner, who probably might suppose that be
had been robbed.
The Magistrate said he would cause inquiry to be made In search
of the owner, and told the poor woman that she should be re.
warded for her honesty and the trouble she had taken.
Wiiliam Johnson appeared on a summons to answer a
charge against Mears. Johnson and Brice, paviors, of 31ilbank-
street, Westminster, under the Mutiny Act, for not furnishing a
cart and horses, pursuant to notice, to assist in removing the bag-
gage of the 3d battalion of the Ist Grenadier regiment of Foot
Guards. from the King's Mews Barracks, to Sutton, on their route
to Brighton, on Thursday, the 12th instant.
Mr. Robert Watt, constable of :it. Margaret's, Westminster,
having been sworn, deposed that in pursuance of a warrant ad-
*owed to him by W.A. A. %Wong, Esq. the Magistrate of this
office, directing him to Impress carriages fur the conveyance of the
bag: age of the 34, battalion of the Grenadier Regiment of Foot
Guards, on their route from the King's Mews Barracks, he, on
%Wednesday, the 11th inst. left a notice at the counting-house of
the defendants, calling upon them to have in attendance at the
barracks at time o'clock on the following morning, a cart and two
horses, with a man to drive the sat.ie. Ile attended at the barracks
himself in the mornieg, and at four o'clock no one of the carts
which he had summoned being in attendance, lie was obliged to
impress the first he could find in the streets. The defendant's cart
solved a ti w minutes before 5 o'clock, just as the last cart was
loading, and consequently was too late for the service on which it
had been required. The 1114,01 of the battalion was delayed two
hours by this negligence uo the part of those whose carts should
have been in aneuilance.
Mr. Johnson said the non-attendance of the cart ordered was
owing wholly to the circumstance of the carman having overslept
himself in consequence of excessive fatigue from the preceding
day's work.
The dctcodants were convicted in the lowest penalty, 4th.
