SINGULAR CASE.—A man, named Constante
Ambrogi, an Italian, a manufacturer of images, at-
tended at this office, to ask the advice of the Ma-
gistrates under the following circumstances:—He
stated that about a month since, his brother, who
was also an Italian, while suffering under the pain
occasioned by a bad tooth, went to the house of a
dentist, near Long-acre, to whom he applied to
have it extracted; Mr. Purland, in consequence,
proceeded to perform the operation, and the young
man returned home. The same evening he felt
such excruciating pain, that a surgeon in Holborn
was sent for, who, on examining his mouth, said
that a splinter of the tooth remained in the jaw, and
with an instrument he removed a piece of bone,
which he said was the splinter of which he spoke.
From thenceforth the young man became worse,
and on the twelfth day died, as complainant be-
lieved, of mortification, from his jaw having been
broken—a conclusion to which his friends came, in
consequence of the surgeon having declared that to
be his belief about three hours before he expired.
Mr. MINSIIULL asked whether any examination
had been made by the parish searchers ? The wife
of Ambrogi said that the searchers had come to
make inquiries respecting the death of the deceased
and were told that he had died of a broken jaw'
under the circumstances already described ; they
however, mode no further remark, and, on receiving
the usual gratuity, went away.
Mr. MINSHULL remarked that this was extremely
inexcusable, and that the searchers ought to have math
such a report as would have led to the summoning
of a Coroner's Inquest ; as that had not been done
at the time, however, he questioned whether i,
might not now be too late for such a proceeding.
Ambrogi had taken a cast from his brother's jaw
after his death, from which it was obvious that the
jaw must have been broken.
Ambrogi having stated that he had applied to the
Magistrate in consequence of the recommendation
of his solicitor, _ _ _

Mr. MINSItULL desired him again to apply to that
gentleman, and ascertain whether the Inquest might
not yet be held; and added, that if he would at-
tend at the office this day, he would give him any
assistance in his power.
APPREHENSION OF HETHERINGTON, THE PRO-
PRIEIOR OF THE POOR MAN'S GUARDIAN.—Ste-
vens, the Bow-street officer, on Monday reported to
T. HALLS, Esq., and Dr. ROBINSON, the sitting
Magistrates, that in consequence of instructions re-
ceived from the Stamp-office, he had been in search
of Hetherington, who had been convicted at thi-
office ior being the printer of the Poor Man's
Guardian, and for having sold it without a
stamp. He had been summoned to the office to
'how cause why this conviction should not takt
place, arid had not thought proper to attend ;
a warrant was in consequence issued for his
apprehension, and, with a good deal of difficulty,
Stephens ascertained that he had gone northward,
and thinking that he would be most likely at Bir-
mingham, from his having taken him there on a
former occasion, he set off fur that place, and in hi,
way thither had stopped at Coventry on Saturday
morning. On the same evening, about half-past
seven o'clock, he saw Hetherington descend from
one of the Birmingham coaches, and took him into

:Against might," as he calls it, this man has already
undergorie twelve months' incareerarion.
