Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, quite lifeless, in the turnpike.
road, in the parish of Marden, between Stilebtidge and Staplehurst,
oh his chaise and horse, as we stated, standing by the body. ?dr.
OTTAWAY had been to Rochester on professional business, on Sa-
turday, and passed through Stilebridge Turnpike-gate, between ten
and eleven at night, on his return home. From the appearance of
the gig, one of the shafts of which was broken, it is supposed that
the horse must have swerved from the road, and the carriage
coming in contact with some imdiment, the unfortunate Gentle-
man was thrown out by the shockpe. A violent contusion was found
4on the back part of the head, and the surgeon who first eiamined
the body, gave it as his opinion, that a violent concussion of the
brain took place, and that death was instantaneous. Monday, an
Inquest was held on view of the body, by J. N. Du:now, F.sq. Co-
roner, aid a respectable Jury of the Parishioners of Marden ;
%when, atter the examination of the Surgeon, and the person who
first discovered the deceased, a verdict was taken of " Accidental
°lath," and a deodand of Ss. levied on the carriage. Mr. Or•
t'iwsr was a man of most amiable disposition and gentlemanly
habits, eminent in his profession as a lawyer, and universally es-
teemed. He has lelt a widow and four children to lament his un-
timely ecith.
