was found in a detiched cow-house upon his farm, under some
trusses of hay, w jib his head and skull most dreadfully shat-
tered by the contents of a gun. The inquiry lasted from
Saturday till Wednesday morning last.
Thomas Worster had worked for deceased nine )cars; that
about 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon he was in a field ad-
joining the cowhouse. Saw deceased and his son William in
the turnip field about half-past three. Deceased's sun came
to him, and said he and his father had dressed the sheep in the
cow house, turned them into the rickyard adjoining, and fed
them, and that he (WGrster) need not go to them. About a
quarter of an hour after the son came to him agkin, and said
the sheep would not lie, and he had turned them out in the
field ; it was witness's place to look after the sheep ; on the
following day (Friday), about seven o'clock in the evening,
the son came to witness's house, and said, " If I can't get
some one to swear that they saw my father and I part at the
top of the turnip field lam done." Witness replied, " Lord
have mercy upon me, you don't say so."
Edgar Odey, surgeon, examined the body of the deceased,
and found a great portion of the skull carried away ; that a
hole appeared at the back part of the hat about the size of
half-a-crown ; that he found several shots and a pasteboard
eun pellet in the skull ; that he had no doubt the injuries
were produced by the discharge of some fire-arms; that the
muzzle must have been within a foot of deceased's head : that
it was impossible for deceased to have inflicted the wound.

William Judge--Was an intimate acquaintance of deceased's
sun, William. On Thursday afternoon, about a quarter-past
few-, he was returning from Wing to Burcott. Met deceased's
son, William, in Burcott. He said he was going to Wing,
and asked witness to turn back, which he did ; they first went
to the Queen's Head public-house at Wing. Had two pints
of beer. Did not stay more than five minutes. Next went
to the Cock public-house in the same place. Had a glass of
rum each. Stopped there about five minutes. Then both
returned back to Burcott ; from the latter place to Wing is
about one mile. Witness assisted in searching for deceased.
The cowhouse was the last place proposed by deceased's son
William to be searched. Deceased and his son frequently
quarrelled. The latter was very liberal. Often stayed at
pubic-houses till two or three o'clock in the morning, and
danced with females of ill-fame.

bury ; that on Friday last be was requested to attend at bur-
cot, for the purpose of investigating the affair; that after mak•

CAUTION TO COFFEE-HOUSE AND HOTEL
KEEPERS. —Coffee-house keepers cannot be too much on their
guard at present against some fellows, having the appearAnce
of gentlemen, who arc making a practice of visiting the most
respect.ble of ,these houses for the purpose of picking up
papers, publications, or any other article which they can coo-
vcniently appropriate. One of that fraternity, a fellow named
Jones, went the other day into Pamphilon's Coffee-house, and
was caught in the act of helping himself to suite of the news-
papers ; the proprietor contented himself with kicking the
paltry thief out of the house ; but we would recommend that
in future any one caught in such a contemptible act should be
prosecuted.

The Carbridle Gazette of the 29th ult. states that
it was believed is Vienna that the Archduke Stephen would
marry the Graod Duchess Mary, daughter of the Emperor
Nicholas. The Duchess Louisa, consort of Duke Maximilian,
of Bavaria, gave birth to a Princess on the 25th ❑lt.
