CORONER'S INQUEST.

An Inquest was taken on Tuesday last, and
continued till the following‘day, before ThOMAS
DE LASAUX, Esq. one of the' Coroners for Kent,
at St.. Lawrence, in the Isle of Thanet, on the
body of Eleanor Trittoii, the unfortunate woman
found dead under some mysterious•circumstances,
as stated in our last.

The first witness examined was Thomas Wood, who deposed
that he lived at St. Stephen's, near Canterbury, and that on
Monday morning last, about six o'clock, he found the body of
the deceaied in the highway leading from Canterbury to Rams-
gate. • • •
Mr. John Curling, of Ozengell, was next examined, and de-
posed to the permission given to the deceased, who had lived
with him'for upwards of five years as cook, to go out tbr a holi-
day on the Sunday ; and that on being infonned on the follow-
ing morning that she was lying dead in the road near the turnip
field of Mr. Garret, he went there and saw her body, and direct-
ed it to be. removed to St. LawrenCe workhouse ; that he then
proceeded towards Sandwich, where on the road at Ebb's Fleet-
gate, he learned that a gig had passed through there aboutinine
on the preceding evening from Sandwich, and that a person of
the name of Pain was in it; and on further inquiry, that Elea-
nor Tritton, the deceased, and the said gig with Pain in it, had
also passed the Red Lion public-house at Stonar on' the same
. evening
•- .

John- Tipper, the landlord of the Red Lion public-house
above-mentioned, deposed, that the prisoner Pain stopped at his.
house on Sunday evening, about nine o'clock, in a single horse
chaise, and had a glass of English gin, observing that he had
overtaken a young woman and requested her to ride, which she
refused ' • and he, (Tipper) thinking it late for a young woman
to be walking alone went out and heard some person approach-
ing, who, having nearly reached his house, a woman dressed in
black, and in every respect resembling the deceased, said " •Is
there any person here waiting for me from Ozengell ?" to which
he, eplied No." She then said she should walk on, and pro-
ceeded accordingly. Soon after-which the said John Pain left
his house in the chaise, and was apparently very sober.
William Gibbons, .the keeper of Ebb's Fleet-gate, deposed,
that the prisoner passed through 'the gate on Sunday afternoon,
in a single horse chaise, in which, besides himself, who Was
driving it, there was a gentleman, and that about nine in the.
evening of the same day the said chaise, also driven by Pain, re-
tained through the gate, he only being in it; at the same time
a young woman dressed in dark clothes was walking by the
side of t?ie chaise, and appeared, to.be in convervsation with the
person who drove it.
John Castle, of the parish of'Saint Lawrence, servant in hus-
bandry, deposed, that on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 23th, the
deceased left the house of Mr. John Curling, of Ozengell ; that
the said Eleanor Tritton not returning at her usual hour (9
o'clock), he went out to meet her toaccompany her home ; that he
had !proceeded about three quarters of a mile, when he met a
chaise, and that the person who accompained him (J.Mummery)
called out " Ozengell," the name of the farm where the deceased
lived servant; that thereupon the said EleanorTritton, whom
he knew by her voice, replied, " Castle, ibr Heaven's sake take
me out," meaning out of the chaise in which she was riding;
that then, the person who was driving, whipped the horse,
which immediatqy sprang, forward at an increased rate; that
lie then turned round, and followed the chaise as fast as he
could; that on turning the corner from the Sandwich into
the Canterbury road, the deceased said, " for Goa's sake take
me out," and she appeared attempting to throw herself into his
arms, but she was prevented from doing so by the man
who was in the chaise pulling her back':—she then said " Lord
have mercy upon us :—come on, Castle."—Witness continued
following the shaise on the road leading towards Ramsgate,
but could not overtake it : and on its turning out of the present
turnpike road. into the old Sandwich-road, and from thence
toward Chilton, he then lost sight of it. Witness then pro-
ceeded towards Ramsgate, and having arrived there, •he per.
ceived the chaise coming from the .Barracks,• and followed it
into the town ; the nearer witness got to it, the more the driver
whipped. The chaise then turned up Broad-street, and came
down by the new chapel, then turned up the High-street,
through Chatham-street, into the. Margate road, where witness
lost sight of it. Witness then went home to Oiengell, and told
his fellow servant what had passed; and witness and the• said
John Mummery took a lantern and searched in the field for the
deceased, but could not find her : they then went home to bed,
at about two o'clock in the morning; he got up again about-
five, and then his master .was called by the said J. Mummery,
who, in his presence informed him that the cook was missing.
—That thereupon his master took his horse and Proceeded
towards Margate, having directed Mummery and hims.ellto
take the Ramsgate road, which they did, having previously ap-.
pointed to meet at the Spread Eagle, Ramsgate, after they had
made the necessary search. That they met there, and witness
communicated to his master, as did also • Mummery, that the
cook was dead, and stated where she was. Witness bad exa-
mined the body of the deceased and found it was the said Elea-
nor Tritton. That when he saw the chaise in Ramsgate • there
was only one person in it ; the deceased was not in it. • ,
John Mummery deposed that, in companv.with Castle,. he
followed the chaise till he lost sight of it on the Turnpike-road
leading from Canterbury to Ramsgate, near Mr. Garrett's. fir
trees ; Castle being about four .rods before him. In other par-
ticulars his evidence was corroborative of that of Castle.

Mr. Algernon Sidney Peake, surgeon, of Ramsgate, 'depos-
ed; that he had examined the Cody of the deceased, and found
no external bruises sufficient.to have- caused her death; and
that he had every reason to believe that the deceased came to her
death, by the itipture.of a blood vessel in her head; and he
was led to that conclusion by the swollen appearance of her fea-
tures, and her mouth being full of blood.

The CORONER summed up the evidence in a
most able manner, and the Jury, after a careful
consideration, brought in a verdict of Manslaugh-
ter against John Pain; who was immediately com-
mitted under the Coroner's warrant, for trial, to
Maidstone gaol ; whither he was escorted by two
peace officers, and passed through Canterbury on
Wednesday in one of the night coaches.—( Ken-
tish Gazette, Nov. 30.)

Thursday, and returned to-day.—A select circle of the Nobility
had the honour of being entertained at the Palace on Monday
evening, among whom were the Marquess of Londonderry, the
Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Egremont, and Lord Melbourne.
—The weather, since his Majesty's arrival, has been variable,
and in general inclement and damp ; during the favourable in-
tervals, his Majesty has taken promenades in the Palace gar-
dens. His Majesty continues in the happiest enjoyment of
health and spirits.—The following is
.a Copy of the Note sent
to each of the Gentlemen of the Committee who were to have
presented the Address to his Majesty

'" Brighton, Nov. 26,1821.
" T. Attree begs to communicate ,to the Gentlemen of the
Deputation who would have presented the Address to his Ma-
jesty, had it been received in person, the AnsWer which he
(Mr. Attree) has received from Sir Benjamin Bloomfield on
the sebject:—

That owing to the inconvenience, and precedent which it
would establish, his Majesty is obliged, reluctantly, to deny
himself the satisfaction of receiving the Address in person. It
becomes, therefore, Sir Benjamin Bloomfield's duty to point
out the channel of the Secretary of State for the Home Depart.
anent as the legitimate source.'
" Thii unavoidable arrangement does not, however, diminish
the sense his Majesty entertains, of the affectionate welcome
which has manifested itself through the town."

There was, a few days ago, a gentleman re-
siding in this town who had been married four
times, and by each marriage he had four chil-
dren.: his first wife was eighteen, his second
twenty-eight, his third thirty-eight, and his.fourth
,fort,y-eight. He was on his first matrimonial
trip, twenty-four years of age, on his second
thirty-four, on his third forty-four, and on his
fourth fifty-four. lie is now sixty-four, and his
last wife has been dead four years. This strange
coincidence has induced him lately to keep the
fourth day in the week, and in the 'fourth month
of every year he travels. He dines at' four
o'clock every day, and considers it an unlucky
omen if his senses are not reposing in " balmy
sleep" atfour o'clock in the morning.--(Brighton

POETRY.

GREECE.

Is it but the hollow wind

Thro' the dreary seabeach soundirig—
Is it but the hunted hind

Thro' the leafy desert bounding ?
'Tis the tread of Grecian men,

Rushing-thro' the twilight pale ;
'Tis the echo of the glen
To their trumpet's brazen

What has lit that-sanguine star,
Sitting on-the mountain's brow ? •
'Tis the fiery sign of war
To the warrior tribes below.
Where was born the sudden flash,
Darting upwards from the shore ?
Answer—sword and target's clash
Answer—Freedom's halloiv'd roar...!

Onward comes the mighty column,
Winding by the silver sea ;
To its chaunt severe and solemn,
Athen's hymn of liberty !
Now they climb the Spartan mountain,
Now they sweep th' Arcadian vale,
Now beside the Argive fountain,
Glitters in the morn their mail !

Like a storm the march advances,
With a deep and gathering sound ;
Nov above the throng of lances
See the ancient flags unbound !
Bearing each a glorious name,
Each-a summons to the soul,
Each a guiding lightning flame.—
Soon the thunderbolt shall roll!
Not a spot that host are treading,
But has been a hero's grave ;
But has seen a tyrant bleeding,
But has seen a ransom'd slave !
Moslem, fly ! thy hour is come,
For the sword shall smite the chain
In that shout has pial'd thy doom,
Greece shall be nerself again !
