Boor STEALING.—The wife of a poor man named Adams,
lately deceased, applied to the Magistrate for the assistance of an
Officer, to recover the body of her husband, which was stolen away
from her house in Trafalgar-street, Walworth, a feu tights ago.—
She stated, that her husband had been fur some time afflicted with
• complaint, which baffled the skill of his medical attendants, and
hisdeath took place on Monday last. The day after his decease,
one of the surgeons who attended him requested that he might be
permitted to open the body, fur the purpose of ascertaining the real
state of the diseme, saying it was one of a very peculiar nature, and
that it would greatly benefit the " Profession" to discover the
diseased organ. Upon that inspection, the surgeon pereei.- d that
the heart of the deceased was affected in a most sinqular manner ;
and this circumstance became generally known about the neigh-'
bourhuorl, where many of the resurrection-men lice. The body
baying been put into a coffin, and placed in a back room on the
first floor, the relations were all summoned to the funeral, which
was fixed for Saturday last ; but, to their horror, they discovered
that the corpse, together with the shroud, had been stolen, during
the night, and no trace remained behind except the empty coffin.
Mr. Cit.ssimults observed, that if the persons concerned in this
disgraceful robbery were apprehended, and the fact of the shroud
having been stolen along with the body proved, he (the Magis-
trate) would have no hesitation in committing the parties for
burgla.
People, ry
the officer, was then directed to go in search of the body
of the deceased, which he succeeded in finding on the dissecting
table of an Anatomist at the West-end of the town. It was im-
mediately delivered up to him, and he restored it to the relatives,
who manifested their gratitude for the recovery. The body.
stealer, have not yet been discovered.

On Friday an inquest was held at Stsnsted, Herts, on
G. Cox. The deceased was a miller. and it appeared that he bail
been grinding his k.tife at the grinding.stone, which was turned by
a rope front the dressing roll. Ile had taken the rope from the pulley
of the grinthdone,aml was in the act of removing it, when it caught
the heel of one of his shoes, and in endeavouring to save
himself from falling, the deceased seised the rope, and wax drawn
up. In this situation he caught hold of n cat-gut line, but in the
evolution of the roller he was bound round the sante, his head
hanging down, and entry the toiler turned, his head was
dashed against the floor of the room shore. The deceased's head
was almost beaten to a mummy, h.ch his arms, and also his thighs,
were broken, and he was otherwise must dreadfully mutilated. He
has left a wife and two ehiklren.

At A RIR INO Ilct raut:xre.--.tfew days since, at
Moresby. near Whiiehaven, while a child was playing by the road
side, it was trampled down and much bruised hv a fat cow, which
had become furious when driving to market. The child's sister,
who saw the attack of the enraged animal, immediately ran to its
rescue, but the cow no sooner saw this than she gave chase to the
girl, who in her flight took up a mason's pick, which she threw at
her pursuer, and it moat fortunately alighted on her mck, thepoint
penetrating to the spiral marrow. The beast instantly fell, and
thus, in at almost miraculous manner, the child and its sister were
preserved from the Airy of their dangerous enerny—Carlisle
