but the evidence of impartial country gentlemen who
'saw the race, proved distinctly that the American horse
broke into a gallop, in the last mile, and did not turn

W Alan's horse broke from the trot, he was turned round,

On Friday night, the Bth of this month, or early nit
Saturday morning, the vault of the lato Thames Jones,
Esq. el Llautysitio-hall, in the county of Denbigh, was
broken into by seven 'Sr eight men, with au attorney and
ettracent from a neighbutuitta town at their head; the
_coffins containing the body of the deceased forced open,
then taken outside, turned upside down, and the corpse
tumbled upon tile ground. The beefy having been in-
terred on the 12th of December, 1820, was of course in
a state of great decay, as appeared by the stains and smell
left upon the glass as late as Sunday evening, notwith-
standing the heavy rain of that city and the day before,
• when the place was viewed by the clergymen of the
parish and the churchwardens. The only moose
ar-
signed for this outrage is, that a perste), supposing binutlf
Interested in a will, had dreamt that one was deposited
tinder the head of the deceased. Upon this vision of a
disordered mind, strange as it may appear, an attorney
star found weak enmesh and wicked enough to commit

mention ;tames at Kemal' ; but as legal measures are in-
stituted against the parties (who are all well known),we
hope soon to have it in our power to give them to the
world. 'lite exact state in which the body was returned
to the vault is as lea as yet ascertained, but it is believed
that the coffins were left unclosed.
