liefore T. SHELTOX, Esq. Coroner, at Gny's Hospital Cons-
miner-room; on the body Thomas Syers, fur the pur-
pose Of lavestigat lug the comae of his death, which was cum-
%nosily stated to have been accelerated by his being removed
by Parish Otheers and others fats one place to another
when in • state appraaelting dissolution.
The Coroner said, it ass Unfortunate that the deceased

Ina or Wictrr, Not 21 —*a Satirday last iii inquest
was takeu at the 4oildball of Heliport, before T. Saweit.t.,
EMI. Coroner of this Isle, and a most respectable Jury, as
the body of Edward Saunders, who was shot in • field at
Standees, on the preceding •ight.
It appeared iii evidence, that Mr. Hardley, who is occu-
pier of West Sanden farm, baring beets night after night plan-
dered of turnips, directed three of his servants to watch, to
endeavour to detect the depredators. Mr. Henry Hardley,
• young man about eighteen years of age, watched with
them, and unfortunately took with bins a gun : about twelve
o'clock two men entered the field with sacks which they
placed under the hedge, and deliberately proceeded to poll
turnips; after they had takes a considerable quantity, the
parties watching discovered themselves, and called on the
depredators to stop—the depredators ran away, the others
pursued, repeatedly requiring the pursued to slop. This not
heiag attended to, and u it appeared probable they would
escape, Mr. Henry Hardley fired, and the contents of hie gun
lodged is one of the mesh who proved to be the deceased,
Edward Saunders, a labourer, residing is Newport. Mr.
Hardley Immediately proceeded for medical aid, but this was
in vain—the deceased breathed his last in a few hours, at his
own house, to whieb he was removed.
After a patient and minute investigation, and an able
summing up from the Coroner, in which he expisined the
law tin the subject, the Jury deliberated a few mosnents,
and then returned a verdict of " ManelawAter against
Henry Headley.
