marked with the King's mark,; and :aisoL;46lb..6i,

a Coroner's inquest was held at Isling;-
ton on the body of a young matt; carter to a corn—
dealer near the Angel Inn, who put an end to his
existence in Sunday 'Morning, by hanging himself
in 'his master's stable. The unfortunate deceased, it
appeared, 'had
,a sweetheart too many.: He had
paid his addresses to one favourite female for nine
years; -upon honourable terms, and he had induced
another young, woman to come up to London, from
his native village,. abthut fouryears ego, and become
servant in .his, master's house, where he prevailed
over her virtue under a promke of marriage, and
she was now pregnant. /n this predicament, and

A few days since an Inquest was taken at Long.

Esq. on the body of Joan Gwilliarn, who was dis-
covered-in-her house at Clodock, on Thursday, the

Saturda)', folio It appeared in evidence that
the decdased was 'an elderly person, and•resided in a
ho'nie by herself: it was supposed she generally liad ,
a large sum, of money by her, and this was no doubt
the inducement with slier cruel murderers for per-
petrating.the horrid deed. They'obtairied an en-
trance into the house during the 'night by retti.iving•
some of the tiles from the roof; and the door of the
old Lady's bed-room being fastened, and resisting
their efforts to break it open, they forced. up a part
of the floor of the tOorn 'immediately bver it, and
descended, through the' opening- into the:l)4ll.4onm,
when it. appeared; from the :situation- in wllich'the
unfortunate victim of their brutality was found, they
beat her with a large stick, till- they supposed sh
wai de.id. She remained. in that state tindiqcoVered
till Thursday morning, when she was litip(' by a
neighbour, lying near her bed, almost dead.
She
survived, however, till the Saturday to!lowing, when
she expired, without hi:•ing able to give anyaccount
of her murderers. The Jury returuel a verdict of
wilful Murder against some person or persons
unknown." Three persons are in custody on 'sus.-
picion—namely, a woman, her son, and a females
friend. •
