EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.--On Tuesday an in-
quest was held at the Compasses, in Brick-lane, \Vhitechapel,
on Samuel Josephs, an aged Jew miser, who was found dead
on Monday morning. The Jury proceeded to view the body,

she let the house where he then lay dead to deceased, and ho
and his sister had since lived there. He was a shoemaker.
Was much deformed, and of dwarf-like appearance, but was
of sound intellect as far as she knew. His sister, who lived
with him, was of unsound mind, but was perfectly harmless,
and it was her opinion that she had not done any mischief to
the deceased, as she was most attached to him. The deceased

frequently saw him take two quartern loaves and joints of meat
but still he was wretchedly penurious. She then proceeded
to state that for the ten years deceased and his sister lived in
the house, they had not once even opened the shutters, and it
was to her astonishing how they could so long exist in such
filth and wretchedness. On Monday morning she was going
down the court, when the sister called after her, and asked her
to go to Mr. Gabriel, in Fashion-street, and tell him her
brother was dead. \Witness at first did not believe it, as she
had heard him speak to the sister between two and three that
morning, but on looking over the shoulder of the sister, she
saw deceased lying on a box, and perceived he was dead. The
jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death."

A GENTLEMAN HORSE STEALER.—At the
West Kent Quarter Sessions, held last week, Thomas Parker,
a man of respectable appearance, and who formerly moved in
good society, was indicted for stealing one gelding pony, the
property of John Lee, of Mereworth. , The prisoner said
lothing in his defence, and the Jury shortly consulted and re-
urned a verdict of guilty. A second . indictment was then
preferred against the
prisoner for stealing a mare, the pro-
,,city of his first cousin, Mr. John Parker, of Cuxton. On
this count a verdict of guilty was also recorded. lle was
.entenced to be transported for 20 years, 10 years for each
offence. The prisoner, who shed tears, bowed respectfully to
the Court and retired.—Kentish Observer.
''ICE WEATIIER.—An American thus described it.

then it friz again."
