On Tuesday last a singular occurrence happened
at Chipping Sodhury, Gloucestershire.—A wo-
man, named Hannah Palmer, observing' in the
Bristol Mercury of the sth'ult. in a Letter signed
C. •an account of, a young Lady, who had been
seduced from her friends, and died suddenly in
London, became very unhappy
.in her mind, and
wrote to a person, of this City, entreating that he,
or Mr. C. would come to her, as she had some-
thing important disclOse. They accordingly
complied with her reciuesr, and she informed them
that she was in the deepest distress and horror of
mind ; that her father had died on the 4th of
Deeember. last ; and that on the 26th following,
she dragged the body down the stairs, pl&ced It
on a wheel-barrow, and conveyed it in the bight
to the garden behind the house,- where she dug a
grave and buried it with her own hands. In_
formation of the transadion was irntnediatel.

sent to Mr. Joyner, of Berkeley. the
,Coroner.
The body was taken up and
~examined by' two
eminent Surgeons, who leposcd that it. was, ;heir
opinion the deceased died 'a icattiral deaih.
After a cool, patient, and, impartial inveiti-
gation, which occupied upwards' -of ten hon.iS,-
conclutleti by , the truly rewalable Coroner, in a
manner which does him the greatest honour,...as a
man and a christian, the Jury returned a verdid.--
That the deceased died by the ViSitation of God :
but
,a detestation of the extreme brutality of this
unnatural and unfeeling daughter, still remained
strongly impressed_on their minds. •
The circumstances of thin extraordinary case
furnish a fresh instance of the power ofoonsCience,
even in the most
_depravea minds ;, for surely,
though this unhappy woman has been cleared from
any charge Of violence to her father while living,
the. inhumanity shewn to his remains has been
such, that the Reader will shudder -at the recital.

On Saturday night, between nine and ten
o'clock, 'Thomas Bennett, the Bath and Wotton.
under-Edgetcarrier, was knocked down 'On Wick-
war Commoft, and robbed of twelve pounds and
upwards: fortunately, however, a woman who
was in Bennett's cart, :observed that the robbers
were two men whom ,they saw the same evening
at the George Inn, Sudbury, at which place they
were taken into custody on Tuesday morning, and
committed by His Grace the Duke of Beaufort, to
Gloucester Castle. -

Thursday last a gormandizer, named Frankey,
of the parish of Ilitton, Gloucestershire, ate at
the White Horse, in Keynsham, ten pounds of
boiled bullock's lir, er, a sixpenny loaf, and drank
two quarts of beer, the course of half an hour
