TIIE GREAT STACPOOLE CAUSE.—A singular
circumstance occur+ ed in this city (Lit Brick) at a
very early hour on Monday morning last. A gentle-
man, who married one of the co-heiro.ses ii the
Stacpoole rause, and who received 28,0001. in

her right under the decree, was arrested., with
his wife, on a writ; of Ne exoat Repko, at the
suit of the solicitor, Mr. Antony llogati, for his
costs, just as they wore stepping into a carriage,
as is generally stated, intending to go to France.
This seems very extraordinary, as we understand
Mr. Hogan established for the claimants neat
300,0001. in. interest alone, after several years'
expensive litigation. Mr. Hogan, we are informed,
intends to follow up his claim for costs against
the• rest of those parties who have acted so un•
gratefully and unjustly towards him.—( Limerick
Chroniole.)

SUDDEN DEATH.--Yesterday martinis!, as Mr.
ABRAHAM PrAwr, a respectable elderly malt,
was proceeding along Be!grave Mews, Pimlico,
he, was suddenly attacked with a violent fit of
coughing, which eventually broke one of the
internal blood-vessels. The poor man was heard
to, say, " what shall I do," tied after walk-
ing about' three paces, he fell down a life•
less corpse. Ile was instantly carried to the
Bricklayers' Arms, in the five-fields, w here two
medical Gentlemen promptly attended and pro-
nounced him dead. A 1 inquest was held on the
body last night, when the Jury returned a ver-
dict—" Died by the rupture of a bluotlyvessui."

SINGULAR OCCURRENCIL—The following re.
markable circumstance took Once under the oh.
serration of the gentleman who has favoured
us with the particulars :—Last week, when•
walking in the fields; he' saw a small hawk at.
tempting to soar aloft with souse prey in its
mouth, but evidently the weight of its captor,
.prevented its efforts, and dragged it towards
the earth. It was pursued by a hare, whichever as
it came within her react attacked it with her paws.
The .hare eventually
