THE BILIOUS PILLS, prepared by Y. NEIMERY
and SONS, are the discovery of • Physician of The first
eminence at the present time. In an extensive practice for some
years he has employed them in the most obstinate Bilious Cases
with unvarying success. They operate principally as a deobstraent
and purgative ; they promote a proper action of the liver in the se-
cretion of bile, or correct it when in a vitiated state. Obstructions
of the stomach and bowels arc grrduslly removed; and by giving
tune to the biliary ducts and strength to the system, they afford re-
lief to those who sue..er from nervous attacks, sick head-ache, giddi-
ness, indigestion, and gouty affection.
The Bilious Pills have the name "F. Newbery" engraved in
the government stamp on each Box, and are sold at No. U,
St. Paul's Church-yard, and by J. ganger, 150, Oxford-street,
London, and all Venders in the country, price 2r..

TO the very numerous Patrons and Friends of the ge-
nuine VEGETA rad.: SYRCP of DE VELNOS.—In
proportion as this excellent Medicine extends its beneficial effects
and increases its just reputation, the artifices of imposture are mul.
tiplied to profit by Public credulity. Mr. CAN BA M believes
those who know him will not attribute his anxiety to prevent the
effects of those impositions merely to interested motives. From
accurate experiment and authentic information be can affirm, that
all the Imitations of the Syrup of De Velnos are vehicles fur poi-
'mous metals. They discredit the genuine Medicine, disappoint
the afflicted, and often render mortal disorders that might be cured.
A person culling himself Pickersgill is now the worthy disciple of
these Impostors, and renews the same pretensions, with the same
truth and honour. Mr. Canham, to extinguish all possible doubt,
has often offered, and he now repeats the offer, of 1,0001. to any
man in England who will produce a Deed, or any circumstance
that will prove that the Recipe of Be Velnns has been made known
to any person in England, except the late Mr. Swainson and him-
self, and the proof shall be left to the judgment of Sir llenry Ilal.
ford, or any other liberal and respectable Physician. The virtues
of the genuine Vegetable Syrup an Scorbutic, Scrophulous, and
Syphilitic Complaints. Pains and Swellings of the Liver, Disen.sed
Skin and Glands, and all Disorders arising from Impure Blood, I
are too well known to need enumeration.
The genuine Illedieine has a label affixed to each bottle, with
the signature, " Thomas Canhasn," in the handwriting of the
Proprietor, by whom it is sold, as it was by Mr. Swainson, his
predecessor, at No. 52, Berner's-street, Oxford-street. at 13s. a

and every considerable town in the United .Kingdom; and the

CORONERS' INQUESTS.
Last week an inquest WlllFarit Lyndhurst, on the body of
John Bowles one of the keepers of the New Forest. who, on
Monday last, came to his death in con,equence of a blow he re-
ceived on the 9th instant, from one IVilliane Shelly, under the fol-
lowing circumstances :
In consequence of recent orders, the keepers of the New l'ireen
have been lately furnished with toils, and have employed much of
their time in endeavouring to take a quantity of red deer, to sup-
ply his Majesty's park at Windsor. After very great trouble, they
had at length, nn the 9th instant, succeeded in delving some of the
animals towards the trammels, and had called together a number of
assistants, whom they dispersed in parties, in such a manner as
they thought best for continuing the deer in the right direction.
Among those assistants was the above-named 11'iUiatn Shelly,
who formed one of the numerous party assembled for the 11144
purpose. After they had remained there a considerable tune,
the deceased tide up to them, and request d the whole u( the
party to remove to another statism which lie painted out.—
No notice was taken by any one, on which Mc deceased repeated
his request, and Shelly, who was then walling directly the coe-
teary way, replied, " I shan't come that way ; I aliaU go which
way I like." The deceased upon this said," be dit you
shall, and (with more oaths) 111 ride over you if you don't comae
this way." Shelly still refusing to comply, the deceased proceeded
to carry his threats into execution, by spurring on Isis horse and
riding towards Shelly, who with his arm turned the animal's head.
At the same time the deceased's whip, either accidentally or by
design, fell rather smartly across Shelly'* hat. The deceased itr.
methately afterwards seized Shelly by the collar, and exclaimed,
" 11—n your eyes, conic this way !" Shelly replied, " Let
me go, I have not interrupted you ; I'll be d--el if I move"
The deceased still kept his bold, and. repeating lass oaths,
proceeded to drag Shelly oil by the collar. On this She:ly
took from his right-hand coat pocket 3 short bolt, about a him
and a half in length funned of cane or stick, with a lump o'
lead at the tap, called a squirrel-liolt, which he held up toward*
the deceased, saying, " If you don't let nit go, I'll be 41--kt
if I don't knock you °tryout horse." The deceased, however, lull
persevered, and Shelly, after being drugged several yards, during
which he three or four times repeated his threat to use the bolt,
struck the deceased with it on the hack part of the head. It did no;
appear to be, a violent blow, " and," arid a witness, " I was nu-
pissed when someone observed that deceased's heal was bleeding."
The deceased then let go of Shelly, who retired to the side of the
road, when the deceased turned his horse, and rode at him again.
Shelly, on avoiding the horse, fell backwards, and on raisin:, hint-
self up on his scat, the deceased actin rode up, and struck- hint
once or twice across the neck with the butt end of his whip. Shel-
ly was again walking away, when deceased renewed the attack.
Each seized on the other's collar, and in the motile the demised
was drawn from his horse ; but, in consequence of Shelly leavihg
hold of his collar, his head and shoulders did not with:the ground.
The son of tier, ase.l then came tip and collared Shelly, soon afttr
which the affray ended. Shelly knew die deceased to be a keepe:,
as he then wore his keeper's dress. Whilst Shelly held the Wit
over the head of the deceased, some one cried out, " yais,
why don't you hit hint ?"
All the witnesses agreed in opinion that Shelly had no means of
Netting frame the deceased hat by striking Itim with the bolt.
After two surgeons, Messrs. Smith and id'esteott, who had
attended the deceased, and examined the body since his death. had
given their evidence, in which they described the effect of the blow
un his head, and declared their firm opinion that that alone was
the inmadiate cause of his decease, the Coroner Rammed up, and
at some length explained the various points of law &ethnic on tee
case, according to which, be stated it to be his opinion, that the
person who gave the blow (Shelly) had dearly been guilty of the
offence of Manslaughter, and that the .Jury would be jostitied art
returning their verdict to that edict. The jury, however, thought
otherwise, and after retiring for some tints to deliberate on die
evidence, found a verdict of" Justifiable Homicide."

So unsatisfactory was this verdict, that tile day after the inquest,
four Magistrates (the Bight lion. W. S. flourne, 4'. W. NI itche:;.
A. P. Buckley, and 6. Eyre, Esquire) tett-Tiered, and after a
minute investigation of the business. committed Shelly to SI us-
cheater gaol, to take Lis trial at the neat March Ass,sn, tar
" Manslaughter."
