MAIDSTONE, AUGUST 25.

This morning at eleven o'clock were removed from
the County Jail, attended by the Under-Sheriff and
the usual retinue, to the place of execution on Pen-
nenden Heath, the three unfortunate malefactors con-
demned at the la:e Assizes, viz.
Thomas Lawley, alias Boaz Venner, for house-brcaking.
Isaac Crevey Lang, di.o George Wilson, for forgery; and
John Pecker, for highway robbery.

They appeared to conduct themselves in a manner
truly becoming in iiimeir situation ; and on their jour-
ney to the Heath a question was put to Pecker, by
his brother, requesting him to make an acknowledge-
ment of the crime for which he was on the eve of
suffering ; but the only answer that could be gained
from him was, " that he was not the man that rob-
bed and beat John Cock, aryd that he was not guilty."
—They arrived at the Heath at 12, when, after a
short time spent in prayer with the Chaplain, they
ascended the scaffold, and as soon as they were tied
up they were launched into eternity, which was at
2.5 minutes past 12 o'clock. They seemed to bear
up their spirits with a steady fortitude, and at the
same time appeared truly sensible of the untimely
fate which awaited them. While on the drop, they
did not address the multitude, which was not very
numerous or one another, which is generally the
custom with men in that situation, previous to being
turned off.

Lang and Pecker were very fine looking young
men. After the bodies had hung the usual time, they
were delivered to their respective friends for inter-
ment.

Boaz Venner has been twice cast for death, the
first time he received his Majesty's free pardon ; and
the second, he had a reprieve on condition of being
transported to Botany Bay for fourteen years, which
time he there served, and has not long returned there.
from ; and for the third offence he has now met with
the reward his past wicked life has so truly merited.

CORONER'S INQuzsrs.—Yesterday there were four
inquests held before C. Jemmett, Esq. Coroner for
Surrey.

The first was held at Chertsey, on the body of Mr.
Thomas Swain. It appeared, that he was returning
from Egham Races, in company with another gentle.
man, on horseback. Crossing a furrow in a field near
his own place of residence, in Chertsey Parish, Mr.
Swaine's horse stumbled and threw him, by which he
burit a blood-vessel, which produced his speedy dis.
solution.—The verdict, of course, was occidental death.

The second was held in Upper Kennington-lane,
upon the body of Mr. William Grisbrook, a gentle-
man upwards of 60 years of age, who died suddenly
on Wednesday morning last, about nine or ten o'-
clock. The evidence of Mrs. Margaret Staff, asar-
dener's wife, and Mr. John Revans,, a surgeon resid-
ing in the same place, went to prove, that, as the de-
ceased was taking his usual morning's walk, he was
seized with a sudden illness, fell down, Was lifted up
by the former witness, assisted by an unknown gen•
tleman' and brought into his own house, where he
died. According to the opinion of the professional
gentleman, the cause of his death was apoplexy...—
Verdict, deed ky the visitation of God.

The third inquest was held at the Ring's Head in
High-street, Lambeth, on the body of Richard Ben-
nett, a bey about 10 years old, son of poor people in
St. Ann's-street, Westminster, who fell off the battle-
ments of Westminster-bridge on Wednesday evening.
The misfortune was evidently occasioned by the boy's
own imprudence in having ventured into such a situ-
ation.—Verdict, accidental death.

The other inquisition was taken upon the body of
a male child, name unknown, which was found near
Cuper's-bridge, Lambeth, on Tuesday evening, be-
tween nine and ten o'clock, by a waterman of the
name of John Hagley, as he was shoving off his boat
from the causeway. It was proved by the surgeon.
who examined the body, that it was in the same state
as live• born chiltiren usually are; and in his opinion
it was not above 48 hours old. The head, arms, and
upper part of the body, were inclosed in a pillow-
case, at the bottom of which was a string, with a
stone at the end of about ten pounds weight.—Ver-
dict, wilful murder by lime person unknown.

On Monday an inquest was held at the Packet-
Boat, at Folkston, before THOMAS BAKER, Es 9.
Mayor and Coroner, on the body of a- young man,
named Henry Jordan, servant of Captain Thomas,
of Sandgate, who dibd on Sunday night of the hurt
he received by a gig running over him on Saturday
evening It appeared in evidence, that as Mr. Cavena,-
of the Royal Staff Corpi, and Mr. Turner, of the
95th Rifle Regiment, were returning from Driver, in
a gig, the horse took fright in descending the Folk-
stone hill, and set off at full speed, throwing the
gentlemen out ; the animal continued to gallop furi-
ously down Dover-strqt, and got entangled with the
paniers of an ass (in one of which sat a young child)
they were thrown with great violence in different di-
rections, and the child though much hurt on the head
by the fall, was not dangerously wounded. Imme-
diately after, the vehicle coming in contact with a lit-
tle boy on a poney, in the care of the abovementioned
Henry Jordan, who with the utmost presence of mind
extended his body to throw the child off the poney, on
the oppositu side, received a most violent contusion
in the chest and abdomen, by the horse and chaise
passing over his boar. He was taken to the Packet
Boat, and languished in great agony till eight o'clock
on Sunday evening. Verdict—Accidental Death.--
The circumstance of his death is the more to be la-
mented, as he evidently sacrificed his own life to pre-
serve the child of his master; who, although hurt,
is in a fair way of recovery. The gentlemen were
but little injured. The horse is forfeited to the Lord
of the Manor.
