OrCT:

When the, vault of Sir Michael Nuwell, at Marvnan, was
opened on Thursday se'naight, preparatory In receiving the re-
mains ••f Lady Nowell, the spectators were astonished to floc;
the worthy knight's coffin torned upon its sine-L-om• was this tit
first time ; for, on opening the vault on a former siccasion, i
was found similarly displaced. We have heard of like instances
in other vaults.; and these:extraordinary eirctunstances are us,.
ally accounted for, by the vulgar, in the most extraordb,a..
way. Others, Somewhat more reasonahls, endeavnur to ni
count for theist on the snikposition of temporary inundation :
thongh no apaearances of wrier remain, or crevice by w filo
it could have entered or
.gone off. But we are persuaded that
tl•se things are done by the mischievous waggery of vtorl;men,
vt left alone to close the vault, and who enjos by ani ici pa-
tion the astonishment they shall OCCal..iolll ss hen the effects,ol
their knavery are discovered.
