THE ALLEGED MURDER NEAR
NOTTINGHAM.
NOTTINGHAM, TUESDAY.—The prosecution of the inquiry
into the mysterious circumstances connected with the death
of William Robinson, whose body was found in a mangled
state on, Popplewick Forest, took place to-day, before Mr.
C. Swann, coroner, and a respectable jury. The facts deve-
loped, though leading the jury to return a verdict different
to what was anticipated, are not so satisfactory as could be
wished, as the principal witness on the occasion, Henry
Shepherd, who accompanied Robinson from Nottingham,
has evidently been telling untruths, owing to some cause
not easily to be defined. Perhaps he was too mnch in
liquor to recollect what occurred, supposing he was entirely
free from causing, by any means, the death of Robinson;
and if not, his dissimulation renders the case still more
mysterious.

-After giving the history of his proceedings on Saturday,
prior to meeting Robinson in Nottingham, and setting out
with him for Mansfield, he related several particulars dif-
ferent to what he had stated on the previous day, and denied
that any quarrel had taken place between himself and
Robinson.
Jane Widnall, wife of Robert Widnall, said, that about
half-past nine o'clock on Saturday night last, she saw a
waggon drawn by three horses going along on the Mansfield-
road, and heard a man say, " What are you reproaching me
for ?" and another man replied, "I am not reproaching you;"
and then the first man said, "If you aggravate me any more,
I will get off the waggon and walk," and the man then got
off the waggon and unfastened his dog, after which he got
upon the waggon again, and they drove on. It was about
half a mile before they got to Sherwood-lodge-farm.
The principal witness affectiotr the verdict was Dr.
thotnab of Nottingham, who s.id—l have this
day examined the body with Mr. Frost, and externally we
found the back part of the right ear considerably lacerated;
there was also a bruise above and below the ear about the
size of half-a-crown. On the left side of the face we ob-
served three bruises, varying from two to three inches in
length; slight ecchymosis on the under surface of the left
eye • there was a number of scratches on the forepart of the
right shoulder, as likewise one or two bruises. The second
id third fingers of the left band were broken at their first
joints; the hands were clenched. On the right and
left side of the abdomen I observed considerable ecchy-
mosis extending down each side of the fore and inner
surface of the thighs to the peritoneum. There was a con-
tused grazed wound, three or four inches in length, on
the forepart of the right thigh, running in an oblique
direction, and commencing from about three or four inches
from the bend of the body. He then described the internal
injuries. The second, third, fourth, fixth, sixth, and seventh
ribs, on the right side, were broken, and other parts affected.
He thought the fracture of the ribs might be caused by' ome
great force, produced either from before or behind the body ;
a severe crush would produce such, a carriage-wheel would
have the same effect; but there was no external mark on
the surface of the body; they might be produced by being
jammed between two boclies, such as being squeezed between
the wheels and body of a waggon. There was a mark of a
wheel on the right thigh and the right side of the belly. I
am of opinion that some great pressure upon the abdominal
viscera has caused death, and that the deceased has been run
over. I do not think it possible the deceased could have
walked from the spot where his jacket and whip were found
to the spot where his body was afterwards found—a distance
of upwards of half a mile. I should think the deceased
would faint away immediately after receiving the injury, and
that he could not have moved many yards.
No other evidence could be brought directly to bear upon
the case to show how the deceased received the injury on the
face and the marks on his shoulders • and, although the evi-
dence was not conclusive, the jury, after a long consultation,
returned as their verdict, "That the deceased has been acci-
dentally run over and killed by some carriage or carriages
unknown passing along the highway."

TUE CROPS.—PROSPECTS OF AN EARLY HARVEST.—
The continued fine weather has caused a rapid change in the
appearance of the wheats upon the light lands near this
town. One farmer contemplates beginning to cut one of his
fields of wheat in the course of a week, if the weather con-.
tinues favourable. In several places fields of oats are reaped.
The wheat crop promises to be an abundant one, but of bar-
ley and oats there is not expected to be an average crop.
Beans are expected generally to be very deficient, and ih some
places peas are not worth harvesting, while in other localities
a half crop is expected.—lpswich Empress.
