BRUTAL OUTRAGE AND METRDER.

Tuesday, an Inquest was taken at the Bull public•
house, at Burling, before J. N. DUDLOW, Esq. Co..
roner, on view of the body of Ellen Nl‘earthy, a poor
old woman, aged 65, who was most cruelly and in-
humanly beat an I abused by a set of young men, on,
the evening of the Sunday preceding, and Iron, which
barbarous treatment she survived but a few honi
From the evidence adduced on the Inquest, it ap-
peared that-the deceased and her husband had been
drinking at the Bull public-house on Sunday after-
noon, and on their return to Mr. Addison's (u here
they were hopping, and had been so employed 1:r
the last twenty years), a shod distance from the pub-
-Ik-horse, they observed fifteen or sixteen young men
standing by the stream. They had also been drink•
ing at the public-house, and had declared that they
would have a row Frith the deceased and her hus-
band, who, when they approached them, were seized
by these fellows; the former was knocked down in
the hedge and struck on her temples, they then
kicked her and hit her with their fists. Whit.: this
was going on, some of them took the old man up
bodily, and carried him and threw him into a ditch
some distance off, saying----,, We have done [or the
old —, and we will now do as we like with the
old —." They' continued to abuse the poor old
woman, and proceeded to acts too horrible and dis-
gusting.to name. At this juncture a man, named
Flint, who also worked for ,Nlr. Addison, came slang,
and the fellows made off. He took the old man out
of the ditch ; the deceased he found lying in the road
quite senseless and speechless. The old man took her
up, and endeavoured to carry her home, but his
strength failed him ; he laid her in a hedge in a field
adjoining, where she expired a few hours after-
wards. He knew one of the men who was ringleader
in the affair, his name he said was Adds, but hone of
the rest he could recognize. The deceased, it ap-
peared, at the commencement of the transaction, was
somewhat in liquor, but able to proceed from the
public-house homeward without any assistance. Air.
George Perfect, surgeon, who examined the body of
the deceased, deposed, that she had several bruises
about the body and head. He opened the head, and
found that the scalp was detached from the bone in
several places, particularly on each temple, and over
the left eye, from the effects of external violence. On
removing part of the skull, he found nearly half a
pound of coagulated blood upon the brain, from a
rupture of the principal blood vessel, which was the
cause of the deceased's death. She died from apo-
plexy, but whether the rupture of the blood vessel
was occasioned frornintoxication, or from any vio-
lence or bruises which die received, he could not po-
sitively say. He thought the external violence which
caused the bruises was sufficient to rupture the ves-
sel. After the evidence had been gone through, the
Coroner proceeded to address the Jury, who, after
some deliberation, pronounced a verdict of *Aid
Murder against Thomas Adds, and other persons un-
known. Adds has since been taken, and committed
to the county jail, under the Coroner's warrant ; the
others have, for the present, eluded the haud-uf jus.

Tuesday night, a room in the Prince of Sara Co-
burg public-house, in the Kent-road, was feloniously
entered, and_ a quantity of money, plate, and other
valuable property, stolen therefrom.
