LOiN DON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1828.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken be-
fore THOMAS STIRLING, Esq., at the Ship, Gray's-
inn-lane, on the bodies of Charles Green, aged 27
years, and Eliza Green, his daughter, aged two years.
The Jury proceeded to the house, No. 45, Gray's.
inn-lane, to view the bodies. They presented the
most appalling spectacle possible. The body of the
father lay wbh his head nearly severed from his body,
and his murdered child by his side excited a thrill of
horror amongst the jury.
Mr. Benjamin Burton, surgeon, Holborn, had
known the deceased a great number of years. He
was a native of Wittington, in Yorkshire,, and for-
merly had occupied a very nice farm, but led a very
debauched life, and through dissipation neglected
his business ; the consequence was, he got involved
in difficulties ; a number of writs were sued out
against him ; and he moved from county to county
for the purpose of evading the law. Deceased dis-
posed of the whole of his craps and farming-stock,
and came up to London for the purpose of procuring
a situation. The wife of the deceased, who had for-
merly-been his housekeeper, and who was in the fam ily-
way of the deceased child by him before he married her,
died about last Christmas. Witness saw the deceased
for the last time alive at the Pewter Platter, in Wood-
street, Cheapside, when he informed witness that he
was in the expectation of getting a situation as guard
to a stage-coach. He had then the produce of the
sale of his effects, or at least the remainder of it, in
his possession ; but he was keeping company with a
number of dissolute young men, on whom he spent
his money in entertaining them, they having deluded
him into a hope that they could obtain for him the
situation he required, but which was never realized.
CORONER—Had you any opportunity of observing
the state of his mind? Witness—Yes, Sir; he at
all times appeared overjoyed at the idea of getting
the situation, but at other times he was in a melan-
choly and desponding mood, as if occasioned by dis-
appointment. . . .

The Coroner summed up the evidence, and ob-
-Bervcd that he had seldom heard of such a deed of
blood, half so bad or of such a horrifying description.
—Verdict, Insanity.

DARING BURGLARY.

On Wednesday evening, a little before eight
o'clock, as Cox, one of the conductors of the Bow-
street patrol, and Medlycott and Wells, two of his
party, were on duty in Great Ormond-street, Queen-
square, they observed a young and genteelly-dressed
man pass on the opposite side, with a large bar, on
his shoulder, filled to the mouth. Just before him
walked another man of very respectable appearance.
Medlycott observed to his brother officers, that he
thought there was something wrong there, and at
once walked over and followed the men. He went
up to the one with the bag, and put his hand upon
it, with a view to ascertain what sort of goods it
was filled with, when the bearer, feeling the pres-
sure, turned round, and, without saying a word,
dropped the bag, and ran off at full speed.
The person who was walking before him
also ran off in a different direction. The man who
had carried the bag ran into Queen-square, at the
northern extremity of which there is no thorough-
fare, and finding this, he leaped over the palings into
the plantation in the centre of the square. Med-
lycott was at his heels, but missed him, and lost him
for a time amongst the trees. He, however, routed
him from his hiding place, and a chace of several mi-
nutes followed, the fugitive slipping in and out
amongst the trees and the shrubbery with uncom-
mon activity, several times squatting on the ground
until Medlycott roused him. At length he made
towards Guildford-street, to reach which, however,
he had to climb over three separate iron railings,
and had succeeded in scaling two
,of them,_ and
was about to attempt the third, when Med-
lycott caught him. He made a desperate resist-
ance, but Medlycott drew his cutlass, and threatened
to cut him down, and he then surrendered. He
was taken to a public-house and, searched, and in
his coat-pockets was found a pair of fashionably-
made Wellington boots, the soles of which were
wet and muddy, and had evidently been very re-
cently worn. The man had on his feet a pair of
light slippers, extremely well calculated for pacing
the roof of a house, or the interior, without being
heard. Medlycott also found a garnet shirt-pin
stuck upon a green-grocer's bill. The contents of
the bag were examined, and found to consist of
shirts, ladies' dresses of a very elegant and ex-
pensive kind, a silk cloak, and gentlemen's wear-
ing apparel. The man being secured, the officers
made inquiries, and soon ascertained that the
house of a gentleman named Follitt, No. 16,
Great Ormond-street, had been entered and
robbed. The house next door, No. 15, had
been empty for some time, and it appeared that the
thieves entered that by a skeleton key, and proceed-
ed to the top of tile house, got out of the attic win-
dow, and thus made their way to Mr. Follitt's pre-
mises. The property found on the man having
been recognised by the maid-servant, he was taken
to Eagle-street watch-house, and given in charge to
the night constable, with particular directions that
he should be well secured.

Yesterday morning Medlycott went to the watch-
house for the purpose of taking the prisoner before a
Magistrate, when he was astonished to find that he
had effected his escape. It appeared that in one
corner of the room in which he was put by the con-
stable, there is a privy, and a spout from above, for
the admission of water for cleaning purposes. At the
top of this spout, the only obstruction to a free pass-
age to the open air was a half-inch deal board. The
prisoner climbed up by- the spout, pulled down the
deal board, and made his wary to the roof of a shed

in a cow-yard adjoining. He jumped into the yard,
removed the bar of the folding gates, and walked out.

COMMISSIONERS OF BANKRUPTS'-
COURT, BASINGHALL-STREET.

IN RE CHAIILES CONNOLLY, JEWELLER.

The second examination of this bankrupt, whose
case is one of an extraordinary description, and has
excited a great sensation at the west end of the
town, took place yesterday. The bankrupt is a very
young man, commenced business in Piccadilly with
very little capital, except a character for industry,
and punctuality in money transactions, and suddenly
obtained credit amongst the trade to the amount of
about 50,000/. When it was supposed that he was
advancing rapidly to wealth and distinction he stop-
ped payment and absconded. Ik, however, soon
returned, and yesterday he appeared in the 14th list
upon his second examination.
The bankrupt stated that he purchased a variety
of articles of jewellery from the 3d to the 10th of
September.
Mr. MosTAGu—Did you buy any
,iewellery from
Mr. Mainwaring ?—Yes.
With bills or cash ?—With hills.

To what amount ?-8,2:32/. Is.; I purchased
from him a diamond cross, ear-rings, and other arti-
cles, to sell again.
Did you buy any jewellery from Mr. Robertson ?
Yes, in the bzlinning of the same month.
What articles did you obtain of him ? I bought
with bills a pearl necklace for 400 guineas.
Did you purchase any other articles within the
same period ? Yes; I purchased of Mr. Fletcher a
diamond cross for 1301.

Any thing else at the same time ? Yes ; I pur-
chased several articles of jewellery of Mr. Bell, for
the sum of 330/.

Every thing upon credit? Yes, every article.

Did you pay no cash ? None.
And how did you dispose of those articles ? Have
you got any of them in your possession ? I have
none of them in my possession. I disposed of them
all immediately, together with several other articles
of a similar kind, to a person named De Yonge.
Who is Mr, De Yonge ? He is a well-known
dealer in the City-road.
For what sum did you dispose of all the property
you have spoken of as having sold from the 3d to the
10th of September ? For something, I think, between
7001. and 8001.

Can you speak exactly ? No. I never kept any
account of ready money transactions.
And you sold them immediately at that loss? I did.
For what purpose did yon thus precipitately dis-
pose of those articles ? I did it for the purpose of
paying hills which were eoming due.
You got cash for all ? For all.
And a few days before you left home ? Yes.
Was any person present when you made the sales,
except Mr. De Yonge ? Nobody.
Nor when you received the money ? Never.
Where is Mr. De Yonge now ? I cannot tell.
Since I have surrendered to the Commission, I have
been tt, De Yonge's house, and seen two women;
who said that he was gone from home; but they knew
not where. I believe that to be the case, and Ido
not know where he is to be found.
Where are your books ? In the hands of my ac-
countant.

On the morning of the 16th ult., the day of your
departure, had you not a bundle of bunk notes in
your hand at a livery-stables in Curzon•street 1' I had
some notes, amounting in the whole to about 701.
or 80/.

By the virtue of your oath, have you not now in
)our possession, or under your control, property to
the amount of 501. ? I have not.

Mr. MONTAGU said that the bankrupt had cer-
tainly answered explicitly.
The examination terminated.

The creditors do not, we understand, expect a
farthing in the pound. The whole of their property
disappeared, as if by magic.
