bighting; they wets well hammy at most of Ihe Police
01TH-es. part ictilarly at Mat thorough-sin et. The deceased
wars found dead in his b, d un Saturday evening abed(
seven o'clock; his arm was mortified from the shoulder
so the wrist; and his thumb seemed dislocated, his fea-
tures also were somewhat oli-dioried, and it was supposed
by the neiThlinurs that he had conic to Ina death by unfair
farads, in room ommore of the severity in which is was kept by
his ciife ; and from the recoil, clime that in a former illness
she had thrown a kettle or boiling water mu him whilst in

pons. -f h. circumstances were reptesculed to the parish-
officers, who ti-de cco ry possible inquiry preparatory to

who visited the deceased, it seemed that the snorteficatiou in
his arm mo.e from she ill .late of Ins blood, and that it was a
eery ualair..l, mid a very prevalent came. Accordingly no
Inquest was itc!d, And the Mull rag buried stsierday.
