itntx:i were tied together, he took frlt with him; i; hung from the bet-
a,. over his bed, for him to lay !told of to enable him to sit up. Being
a !load sWitnener, it W:J supposed he eiritrived tittle hints. If to prevent

iVerinesslay morning, an Inquest was tt.ken at the Stag, in for.
set Street. Portntreu-square, on the body of Ann Prie,., servant to the
hisnop of St. Asapo. .lane Fowler, liou.sek.a-,•er to ths nishoo, kocer
the •Leyeased si, ee September last; she was of the most :mistily cha-
r...l.T. and very much liked by the family and scraints. About rite

• tic, and she threw otfa great deal from her stomach. Every possible
rare se. .s taken of her; on Sunday I..st she went out in a carriage for two
hours; on Monday the carriage was tinkled fey her and after
she got into it she was taken SO extremely ill, that she was obliged to be
carrad into the house and put to bed. Surgeon Parker was s.nt for;
but she died in great agony shortly after.—Q. Uatl pat any cause to
sn peat that the deceivid took any thing to raisin' herself ? A. Not in
the 1. ast.—rj. Was there any inquiry made how the corrosive subli-
mate camc to be in the Lou e: A. Yes; but we never could barn;
there was also inquiry made at every apothetwry's in the neighbour.
hood. btu to uo purpaae.—Mr. Parker. the surgeon. said. during his
at to alatte: she always said she picked it up in her bed-room, and. think-
ing it to he salts, she took it. Corrosive sublimate bears a great sin d-
lanty to salts., at that any person might mistake one the the other. He
orned the body, and had no doubt but her death WAS occasioned by
taking it; bat he had nu cause to suspect she was pregnant, or that she
took it knowingly. Hail. Probrt h, the laundry-maid. Pahl. on '1 ties:-
day, the ~:3•11 ult. she and the tisreas.d gut up at saven o'clock ; they
breakfwied togrther at halr-past eight, she was then very cheerful.
She brought something in her hand down stairs in a paper, which she
,aid was a dose of salt; she piek.sl up in the room in width site and th.:
oink slept• and she would take it. Attar she had taken it, she set the
cap and spoon down, and shortly after, finding herself unwell. she went
stairs into her room; in about five minutes after she called witness,
saying. lam afraid it is not salts I have taken." The Bishop put
questions to her, thinking she had poisoned herself; hut she declared
T.T the last she thought it was salts, and how it came in her room she
• did nut know. Here one of the J ary observod, that there was an apo-
thecary in the neighbourhood, whose scrvantartaid nsually served in
the ship ; and that on the above evening he saw her serving a young
woman answering the description of the deceased, and he thought it
right she should lie muninesi. She mu acconlingly sent for, and on
her esaunination stated, that she is maid of ail. work. and lives with Mr.
Evans, as surgeon and apothecary, at No. 7, Crawford-stmt. Her
master hats no apprentice no: assistant, and she tweasionolly serves. in
I:is absence, Salts, henna. and powders, which he leaves for her. She
might have served salts on the evening nwntioned. There were three
jars of wilts laid on a shelf, and she could not mistake; she did not
l.now what corrosive sublimate was. Here the Coroner iutimadverted
simngli. on Mr. E. permitting his female servant to serve in his shop,
and :aimed her nut to do so again. It being sill a mystery how the
corrosive sublimate came into the house, the Jury returned a verdict—
Died by unison, taken in mistake for salts.
A Serjeant Ilnuon, of the loth Royal Hussars, put a period to his
life, by plating a pistol to his mouth and discharging a laillet through
has brain, at the cavalry barracks. A matrimonial fracas is said
to have led to the irritation and madness that caused the dreadful
catastrophe.
Sunday, about seven-o'clock. as a party of five young men were sail-
ing in a pleasure-bat. between Greenwich and Woolwich, they ran
foul of a North Country vessel, by which the boat was ups t, alnd they
were all immersed in the River. Four of theta chmg to the boat, till
they were happily relieved by a wherry coming to their nivistance, and
were put ea shore; but unihrtunat,ly the other. a lad slant years
of age, named Bannister, sunk. and was drowned before any asidst tcc
-
arrived. 'life body was dragged for, but without soc7ess.
Saturlay sennight a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Coach,
son of Mr. Gooch. M.P. at Milford, near Codalining. ia Surrey.
rlngines from Guildford, &c. were obtained in slant 5 hours from
thelnesking out of the tire; hut the whole of the barns, out-houses, with
more than at load of corn, were destroyed. Thrrc is every reason to
believe the fire was occa•ioned by some incendiaries, and o reward of
50t1L has been Of:red for their apptelunsion. A person who seas con-
cerned in a depredation on the premises of Mr. Marshal, near the spot,
is in custody upon his own t.ontersion.
