time for more witnesses being examined, and for the
result of the Coroner's Inquest.
In the evening a Coroner's Inquest was held at
St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before THOMAS SHEL•
TON, Esq. on the body of the deceased ; and, after a
strict examination of the several persons who were
present at the disturbance, none of whom could prove
a single blow having been struck at the person of the
deceased, Mr. SHELTON addressed the Jury, observ-
ing, that, from the whole of the evidence adduced,
not only was there no proof to satisfy them that the
deceased had been murdered by any one ; but, on
the contrary, the whole of the evidence went to shew
that he had not come by his death otherwise than in
the common course of nature. The Jury immedi-
ately returned a verdict—bia iv the Vithation of GOD.
A Gentleman residing at Enfield, applied to Al-
derman C. Swint for a summons, to compel the
keeper of the Bell Ind Crown, Holborn, to make a
compensation for the unnecessary detention of a par-
cel sent by the coach from Treng, in Hertfordshire.
The parcel arrived on the 23d of December, and
eight days expired before the complainant received it
at Enfield. The Magistrate, on referring to the Act
of Parliament, found that it applied to the improper
delivery of parcels in London and Southwark only,
and as the parcel in question had been directed, to
Enfield, he was of opinion that he could not interfere.
The complainant was, however, informed, that if the
contents of the parcel had been fish, game, or any
perishable article, be might obtain redress for any loan
sustained, by application to the Court of Requests.
Bow-sraxrr.—Yesterday, John Langhorne, who
was employed under Capt. Daniels, the Paymaster
of the Army for the Kent district, who absconded
from that county, and was pursued to Lancaster,
and from there back to Derby, a short time since, was
brought to the Office, and underwent a long exami-
nation. It was proved that numerous forgeries to a i
' considerable extent have been committed, in which,
Captain Daniels' name, the Field. Officer of the Dis-
trict, the Adjutant of the Kent Local Militia, and a I
number of military officers' names have been forged,
and the prisoner is strongly suspected of being con-
cerned in forging them. Some of them were allowed
to be most eat3ellent imitations. Mi. LITCHFIELD, the
Solicitor to the Treasury, attended to conduct the
prosecution, and stated, that he was directed so to do
on the part of Government. Mr. Mins, the Sitting
Magistrate, asked the prisoner if he had any thing to
say in his defence ? He replied, he had note—He was
committed for trial.
UNION HALL—A man appeared before the Ma-
gistrate at this Office, for the purpose of exhibiting a
complaint against one of the nurses belonging to a
poor-house, charging her with- cruel treatment to-
wards a sick pauper, lately under her care, who is
since dead. It appeared that the inftirmant, who is
also a power in the same work-house, witnessed the
nurse's conduct. The deceased having done or said
something which offended her, she seized a poker, and
struck him a violent blow across the loins, and on his
remonstrating with her, she threw him do*n on the
bed, and flagellated him in the same manner she
would have done an infant. In three days after the

unfortunate man died. The informant did not mean
positively to assert that the treatment he had received
had accelerated his death, but he merely submitted
to the Magistrate whether this was not a case which
called for enquiry ? The Magistrate (Mr. Bums)
enquired whether the deceased was buried yet ? and
was informed he was not ; upon which he directed
that the parish officers should► be informed of the
circumstance, and that a Coroner's Inquest should
be held on the body.
ElLTUTlON.—Yesterday J. Bruce, for the murder
of J. Dean, at Milford, suffered at Execution Dock,
pursuant to his sentence at the late Admiralty Ses-
sion. ' He was to have been executed a fortnight
back, but was respited. He conducted himself with
a degree of propriety becoming his awful situation.
