ly killed the Thursday preceding; by slipping front
the rope in ascending a • pit, at Well's-end col-
liery,-near Newcastle. It appeared by the e‘i-
dence of the Ousefter, that the deceased bad been
victims of theft own negligence. When the-pit-
men were going to ride, as they term it, they
fasten a loop to a crook, at the end of the rope,
by means of a catch.; but they' had carelessly
neglected to farce the loop past the catch, leaving
it, as it is supposed, to, their own Nveight to
fasten, when lifted from the bottom. 'the pit is
107 fathoms deep. Verdict—Accidental Death.

I'OLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-11017S r,,

Vesterday, Margaret' kabala S/71,2 r&i charged
with fraud And forgery, was brought up for re-,
examination.' The prosecutor, produced a large
bunch of keys which Were found in a box belong-
ing to the prisoner. He wished 'to know how
she,t;ecame possessed of their, and Eor what pur-
pose ; for this was a circumstance not less nr,7ste-
rious than the forgery, although he acknowledged
that none_of the keys belonged to His premises._
The priSoner replied, that she bad accideutally
collected them whilst employed at a hardware
shop in Covent-garden, and that they did not. be-
long to any locks that she knew of.

Mr,. Flint declared, that lie was much concern-
ed for the unfortunate situation of the .prisoner,
whim he should be sorry to pursue. to the full
extent of punishment -which the law might inflict,
From this feeling, he was desirous of dismissing
the capital part of the charge, by c.tlling upon her
merely to 'account fol. the embezzlement. The.
prisoner ought not-to escape without some pn-
nishment, for the sake of example ; but as this
could not he attained without putting her life in
peril, he preferred cousLuting to her discharge,
itt hope' she might turn her thoughts to reforma-
tion.

The Loam MA yon observed, -that be had the
option at a future time,, if further evidence tran-
spired, to proceed against her •
The prisoner Was then impressively admonish-
ed to discover the wisapplicati6n of the money,
on the promise of forgiveness; but she persisted
that she had not misapplied any, She Wils desir-
ed to consider the critical situation from which
she was set at large, through the humanity of the
prosecutor, as in the event of beißg brought to
trial, she would :rohahly have been cast for death.
She was then :iisenAged.
The young ui, an assistant-surgeon in the
artillery, charged on suspicion of robbing the,
Ship, in Lime-street, was again brought up ; and
the pr,;sucut or's witnesses being re -eKamined,..his
Lordship declared, that their evidence was not to
be credited The prisoner was therefore discharged,
on .the assurance of .his friends that he should ap--
pear, in case the prosecutor should indict him.
