INQUEST NEAR CIIESTERFIELD.—ConsiderabIe
ex-
citement was caused in Chesterfield, on Saturday
morning week, by a rumour that a gentleman
had been that morning found lying on the Mans-
field road, between Hasland and Sormanton, in
a dying state, having evidently been thrown out
of his gig. On investigation, it turned out that
such was the fact, and immediate inquir:es
were made at the different inns, &c., in Chester-
field, to ascertain whether any one answering the de-
scription had called at any of them on the previous
evening. From those inquiries it transpired that the
unfortunate gentleman was Mr. George String,
aged 36, a coach-proprietor of Nottingham. Everf-
thing calculated to restore consciousness was done,
but he never rallied, and died the same evening. An
inquest was held, at which the Jury returned a ver-
dict of " Died from apoplexy, aggravated by the fall
from the gig."
NEW TAXING OFFICES.—Several houses on the
eastern and south-eastern side of Staple Inn are now
in the course of removal, preparatory to, the erection
of new buildings, for the accommodation of the taxing
officers appointed under the recent Bill. The object in
selecting this site has been to centralise the Chancery
offices as much as possible. An entrance is proposed
to be made to the new buildings from Quality Court.
The lessee of Drury-lane has determined to keep
that theatre optn only four nights during the present
week, in consequence of the preparation of and for
bringing out Purcell's King Arthur, the talents of
Stanfield have been secured to illustrate that dramatic
opera.
