CORONERS' INQUESTS.

Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken at
the sign of the Red Lion, Crown-court, Pall-mall,
before Mr. HIGGs, on view of the body of Henry
Terry, a fine little boy, six years of age, who came
by his death under the following shocking circum-
stances :

Charlotte Collier deposed, that she was servant
to Mrs. Terry, fruiterer, No. 11, Crown-court. On
Saturday night last, about eight o'clock, she poured
about a gallon of boiling water into a pail as usual, for
the purpose of washing the deceased and his little
sister, a child three years of age, as soon as it had
suffiicien►ly cooled. The deceased at this time
wanted to go into the shop to his mother, who was
engaged there with a customer, which witness pre-
vented, and desired him to sit down in his chair,
which he accordingly did; but while witness was
busy in taking off the boots of his little sister, he
suddenly jumped up, and running towards the pail,
lost his balance, and fell backwards into it in a
sitting posture. The little sufferer cried out," Save
me—save me, Charlotte," but got up almost in-
stantly of his own accord. The shrieks of the child
bought his mother to his assistance, who tore off
his clothes, and witness ram for a doctor.
Mr. James Horn, assistant to Mr. Walker, sur-
geon, of Piccadilly, attended the ►leceased, and
found on examination the lower part of his back ex-
tensively scalded. Witness applied the usual reme-
dies, and lie went on favourably for three days, but
subsequently he became seriously affected, and ex-
pired on Tuesday.—A verdict of " Accidental death"
was recorded.

Yesterday morning a jury assembled at the Can-
terbury Arms, Upper Marsh, Lambeth, and were
empannelled by Mr. CARTER, Coroner for Surrey, to
inquire touching the death of Mr. William Cook, the
landlord of the above house, who committed suicide
by hanging himself on Saturday last.—Verdict—
" That the deceased put a period to his existence by
hanging himself while under the influence of tempo-
rary insanity."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 21.
CALVERT V. SLATTER.

This was an action to recover damages for a loss
sustained by the plaintiff in consequence of a mis-
representation made by the defendant respecting the
business of a butcher's shop belonging to him.
The defendant having in May, 1828, advertised
for the disposal of the good-will and fixtures of his
butcher's shop, in Windmill-street, Finsbury-square,
the plaintiff entered into a treaty with hint for the
purchase, and the defendant having represented that
his business was to the extent of 12 or 13 sheep,
and a side and a half of beef a-week, the plaintiff
agreed to give him 801. for the good-will and fix-
tures. That sum was paid, and the plaintiff took
possession of the shop. He, however, in a short
time found that the business was not such as it had
been represented to be, and that the retail sale was
not more than four or five sheep and one side of
beef a week. Having continued at the shop until
November, 1828, he then disposed of the business
for .50/.
For the defence witnesses were called to prove
that the business was conducted badly by the plain-
th. __esaterday a Court of Directors was held at tiff, and that the meat sold by him was of an indif-
fernt quality, and the person who purchased the

Now let us see how the people feel towards
those who act kindly and honestly by them.
Some time since a house was attacked in the
neighbourhood of Miltown ; the owner served a
notice on the High Constable for 151., the da-
mage he alleged he had sustained ; but when
Mr. Davoren, the brother of the worthy Divine
we have been alluding to, heard of the notice
he repaired to the premises, and finding the da-
mage done not to exceed 15s. he protested
against the notice, and so far succeeded in say,
ing the neighbouring poor from a species of legal
plunder. How was this felt by the pea-
santry ? Why that hundreds of them went, in
a day or two after, to Mr. Davoren's farm and
gratuitously cut down his hay, corn, &c. refusing
to accept of even some necessary refreshment.
Pity that such a people should be reviled or
trodden upon, or dealt by, otherwise than by that
grateful feeling they are so ready to reciprocate.
The contrast so eloquently delineated by the
Rev. John Murphy, in speaking of the Rev.
Mr. Blood ; in contra-distinction of the Rev. ,

On Saturday evening last the coach called the
Yarmouth Mail and Telegraph, which runs from the
White Horse, Fetter-lane, left that inn about seven o'clock.,
full insi.le and out, and a large quantity of luggage on
the roof and in the hind boot. On the coach arriving
at Ilford it changed horses, and then proceeded on to a
village called Chadwell, about two miles from the former
place, when, according to usual custom, LEE, the coach-
man, pulled up ; when on going behind the coach he dis-
covered that the boot had been broken open, and all the
contents, consisting of two carpet bags, a portmanteau, a
small box, a gentleman's cloak, and a lady's pelisse, had
been carried off by the robbers. The horse patrol had,
about ten minutes before the coach came up, passed
through the village, and upon the discovery of the rob-
bery, the horsekeeper was dispatched on horseback after
him, and almost immediately they both returned, and the
circumstance being communicated to him, he said that he
had observed a horse and cart, in which were four or five
men, lurking on the road, midway between the two places,
and had bade them good night, but no answer was re-
turned. It was therefore placed beyond a doubt that
these were the gang who had perpetrated the robbery, and
thereupon the patrol without delay galloped off on the
road towards London in search of the thieves, when, on
reaching a field half-way between Ilford and Chadwell, lie
observed several men standing together, apparently talking.
He rode towards them, at the same time calling to them,
but they made no answer, and ran off towards a hedge,
which they jumped over, into another field, followed by
the patrol, but on coming up to a second hedge, he could
proceed no further, as there was no possibility of getting
over, and the mea thereby were enabled to effect their
escape. The patrol, finding all further pursuit at an end,
returned across the field he first saw the men standing in,
when, on reaching the spot where they stood, his horse
shied at something lying on the grass; he instantly dis-
mounted, when, to his astonishment, he discovered the
whole of the stolen property, with the exception of the
cloak and pelisse, which the thieves had abandoned in
their flight. The patrol instantly procured assistance and
removed them to a place of security, and next morning
delivered them up to Mr. CLIFFORD, the book-keeper at
the White Horse, Fetter-lane, and received a reward for
the promptitude with which he had acted.

Divine we have been noticing, demonstrates
that the warm feeling, so frequently goaded into
action, is not levelled at the Established Church,
or those of its Pastors disposed to practice what
they preach. No, it is solely levelled at those
who, forgetful of the great end to which religion
leads, stray into the mazes of self-aggrandize-
ment and wordly pomp, treading on the people,
as worms crawling in their way, whenever a sense
of feeling manifests itself to oppose the accom-
plishment of these ends. Mr. Blood is a Pro-

iestant Divine, and Mr. Murphy a Catholic
Priest, both imbued with the spirit of peace.
Yet, for inculcating this holy doctrine, the Rev.
John Murphy has been reviled, and the people
he has been leading to a sense of their duty are,
notwithstanding the causes we have assigned for
exciting them to acts we deplore and condemn,
held up to the empire as barbarous, and without
the pale of civilized society, because a neighbour.
ing parish, the parish of Kiltoraght, is in a state
of disturbance. Let those who rule over the

property and direct the political energies of the
county, lead in the hallowed path of good feel-
ing and forbearance.

There were 160 cattle hi the market this
morning, consisting of farrow cows, from the neighbour-
hood, and sm.dl Highland stots, in very poor condition.
The former brought is. 6d. to Ss. 6d., and the latter
6d. to 9s. per stone tron. There were 1,560 sheep, and
240 lambs shown. Best black-faced ewes brought 13s.
and welders 21s. each. Lambs varied from 4s. to Bs.
Several fine lots of Aberdeenshire and Perthshire cattle
were in town this morning, purchased by Glasgow fleshers
at the Tryst, from 201. to 221., and weighing 45 stones,
beef and fat.-- Glasgow Chronicle.

The proceedings of Sunday, given in this
day's Post and Sentinel, are big with interest as
regards the peace of the district, and the charac-
ter of those disturbances which have, unfortu-
nately, taken place of late in the northern ba-
ronies of the county. Deeply as we deplore
combinations of any kind calculated to disturb
the public peace, or to hold the law, which is
the only legitimate shield to be looked to, in
open defiance, it becomes part and parcel of our
public duty to probe such things to the very
core, not as a plea of justification, for that we
condemn ; but to lay before the Government and
the country a fair expos 6 of causes and effects.
This duty we feel ourselves specially called upon
to discharge as Journalists naturally and politically
connected with this great county, and the more
immediately so from the known peaceable and
exemplary conduct of its peasantry during years
of difficulty and distress, even when Rock and
his predatory troops were spreading terror and
dismay through the greater portion of its sur-
rounding counties.
On many occasions it was painful to observe
that several of the outrages committed in Lime-
rick, during the years 21 and 22, were a species
of re-action on those who, ignorant of the cha-
racter of our people, goaded them into desperacy
and despair. The raking character of the Cour-
tenay agency at the time, is too recent in the re-
collection of these districts, to require a stronger
proof of the primary cause of the county Lime-
rick disturbances. In admonishing the people
against the course they were pursuing, the agent
was also cautioned against the precipice he stood
on ; but the fatality of his character bid defiance
to public opinion, and he accordingly fell ! We
have been no less sparing in our advice to Mr.
Synge, who has been within the last three years
too successfully making petty warfare upon the
feelings and religion of the tenantry living under
him, at Rath and Dysart ; but that gentleman,
whether from a belief that he was right, or a
wilful determination to attain his end, be the
means either right or wrong, has been deaf to
our suggestions, and hence we find him encamp-
ed within a fortress, surrounded by police, in-
stead of being guarded by the affections of his
tenantry. Yet it is but just to those he has
estranged, to find that, without resorting to his
military guards, he can walk and shoot upon the
neighbouring mountains as quietly and as safely
as when within his fortress.
Alluding to the outrage shamefully committed
on the Rev. Mr. Davoren, it is but right to ba-
lance the account between the Rev.-Parson and
his no-flock ; yes, strange as the term may sound
in the ears of our readers, it is no less true that
the Rev. Divine has no other connexion with
the parish he holds save and except his tithes.
Here he has a church, but it is a church with-
out a congregation—his clerk, wife, and chil-
dren, being the sole staff and corps of his church
militant. Yet, on the introduction of Mr.
Goulburn's Tithe Composition Bill this worthy
Divine took a short cut to the vestry-room, when
the parishioners say he took them by surprise ;
and although they protested in a court of law
against the illegality of the proceeding, they are
doomed to pay a heavy assessment for the spiri-
tual comfort of his man Roger ! ! Some time
since a stack of straw belonging to the Rev.
Gentleman was burned, as he says, maliciously,
but of which the parishioners are in doubt ; for
this Mr. Davoren asked 1.51.105. from the Grand
Jury, out of which he got 101., although the
straw and corn were bought by him, as we are
given to understand, for 131., of which he re
ceived 81. for the corn ! !
