MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN ST. LUKE'S—Yesterday
afternoon an adjourned inquiry was concluded at the
Coach and Horses, Great Mitchell-street,4St. Luke's,
before Mr. W. Baker, respecting the death of Mr.
Samuel Wood, aged 69, a watchmaker, who was found
dead by the police, under mysterious circumstances, a
few days since. The jury, after a patient investigation,
returned an open verdict, viz., " That the deceased was
found dead, apparently from suspension, and that se-
veral wounds and bruises were found upon his body, but
how caused no satisfactory evidence hath appeared to
the jurors."
M ELTON MOWBRAY.— A sensation was created
here on Sunday by some foolish persons, who raised a
report that Goadby-hall, the residence of Roger Man-
ners, Esq.,
Charti had been attacked by a body of men calling
themselves sts, from Nottingham, and that the
whole of the windows were demolished. As the news
flew from one to another, and kept on gathering, it
grew into a formidable conspiracy formed for the pur-
pose of upsetting all aristocratical residences. Upon
making proper inquiry, it was found there was not a
shadow of truth in the statement; it all arose from two
or three rollicking fellows breaking a few panes in a
farm-house window in the night after Croxton Park
races.—Lincoln Mercury.
Before Mr. Justice Williams left Chester on
Monday last, he directed the execution of William
Bates and John Mawdesley, who were convicted on
Saturday, of the murder of William Wyatt, at Adling-
' ton to take place on Saturday, the 22d instant.—Stosk-
