BRIDGWATER. FATAL ACCIDENT.—An inquest
was held on Tuesday evening, at the Town hall, before
the coroner, J. E. Poole, jun., Esq., on the body of
Charlesnn Merry, late landlord of the Bull and Butcher
Inn,
nd
evidenceejlatncalipoplyeaareecdidefnrotilloccthuerred the following ciretunstances:—Mr. Merry bad some
under
potatoes to get up in a field a little beyond the western
turnpike gate, and went there in company of Richard
Quick, on Tuesday morning, about half-past six o'clock,
for the purpose of digging them. Re carried a double-
barrel gun with him, and after entering the field be
placed caps on the nipples, went into the next field, and
was heard to fire off one of the barrels. He then returned
and placed the gun in a ditch under some brambles. A
little after one o'clock, Mr. Merry having eaten his
dinner, a man called Frederick Tabred, who had been
field, went up to him, and told him
working in the next
he had raised five birds in the field where he had been
working, and that they had gone into an adioining
ground. Mr. Merry said he had a gun and would have
a shot at them. He then rose, went tq his coat and
thence to the ditch, where ho had placed his gun. In
a moment after Tabred heard the report of a gun, and
on going to the -spot, found the deceased lying on his
face and hands, and afterwards found his gun in some
brambles, about a yard and a half from him. One of its
barrels had been recently discharged. Tabred, assisted
by some other men, placed the unfortunate man in a
cart, and irnmediatekv• conveyed him to,the Marquis of
Wellington Inn, kept by the deceased's brother. Death
appeared to have been instantaneous. The jury returned
a verdict of Accidental death. Mr. Merry, who has left'
a widow and child to deplore his loss, bad but recently
taken the Bull and Butcher Inn, %here his respectable
management and marked civility had gained for him the
good opinion of an extended connexion, and among
whom his untimely death is sincerely regretted.-- Wes-
