fork.. the turnkey, to distribute some soup, which 1
was made froni joints of meat, which t had for din-
ner, amongst those prisoners who stood most in need
of it, or day about ; about a month ago. I observed
the deceased lying on the floor of the ward ; the
other prisoners were present ; he complained of pains
in his limbs ; toe place whasar the prisoners are i,
very damp and cold, but being many of them to.
griller, they were kept warm; it was far Iri.m being
wh,ilesome ; the surgeon gave the deceased some•
pills and a larger quantity of gruel to cauie perspi
Cation ; the gruel was not for the deceased's particu-
lar ciimplaint ; at the deceased's request to interced:•
tot him to get hire his discharge, as lie was a pet:-
sinner of el renwich, and los pension became doe, I
nt t lett, r to Marlborough-strzet 015 cc on iLat head,
hut the request was not ;rante•d."
Here li'vrk, the turnkey, wad called in again to b-?
-cross-taainined.—The soup was not made patticu-
laily for the prisoner ; it was administered by auo•
ther man who had been discharged 1 car•'t say
'.hat day, but one day I gave it toliim myself, when
he was poorly. Whatever the Doctor enders I give.
Tile sick ward could hold more than was in it. I did
not hear Mr. Hai:boil /irder the deceased any thing
else beside the ptison 1110WAIICe. Them were only
three or four persons in the sick ward.
From the prevarication of this witness, the Coroner
threatened to conmr•t him, and said that the partial
manner in which he gave his evidence was highly re.
pr. irnsible.
I Joe the Confwen summed up the evidence. after
which hr said; that cases of this description, although
they occupied crutch time, yet they were exercising it
bounden duty due to their country and King, who
had an interest in the Life of all, even the lowest of
his butjects. They had heard the evidence adduced,
and it was for them to consider of their verdict.
The inve.tigatitin commenced at three o'clock in
the afternoon ; and alter the) Coroner and Jury mi-
nutely heating the evidence, they retired, and, after
a short consultation, returned the lollowing verdict
et half past nine o'clock : "..." The deceased came to
his death from the want of proper nourishment arid
medical aid..

IRQUIIbT ON CAPTAIN MORRIS FARSIFII.—An In-
qinsition has been taken at the Bear and Kummer,
Wells-street, Middlesex Hospital, on the body el
Captain Morris Fainter, wh., was killed by lalltnp
from a window in the King's Bench prison. The de-
ceased was a Captain in the Aimy, upon liali-pay,
and-having received an appointment in the service of
the Spanish Patriots, went, on Thursday %seek, to
take leave of some friends confined in the King's
Bench prison. The party drank four quarts of rum,
and were all intoxicated. When the deceased it to
go home, his friends locked the door of the room to
prevent him. Apprehensive that they meant to dc-
lain him all night, as they -had done twice betors, he
threw up the window, and threatened to jump out,
if they did not release him. Finding this of no avail,
he got upon the ledge, and whilst expostulating with
them, lost bis balance. He hung for some minutes
by his hands, but his friends were too much intoxica-
ted to be able to relieve him. He consequently fell
horn the twk pair, and had one thigh and one arm
broken ; and the .violetict with which his head came
in contact with the ground produced au eirusi in of
blood on the brain. He was take* up iis a state -te
insensibility, and conveyed to the Middlesex i-
tal, he died on Tuesday last. The Deputy
Marshal of the Bench prison attended the In
quest. He stated, that the !Tit nds of the deceased
had no intention-01 injuring him ; but from the gross
impropriety, of their conduct, the Marso4l li.d com•
nutted them to Horsemonger-lane jail, to one • onth's
solitary cAtfinement. 'File Jury returned the follow-
ing verdict ;—The deceased came to has death by ac-
cide.itally falling from a window in the King's Bench
pi isun, when in a state of intoxication.

A tall masculine Irish woman, was apprehended
a few days since by one of the Walcot-police °dicers,
at the request of a Lady living near Kensington-
place. She ailed for relict, arid •n bring refused,
made use of the most horrid imprecations. She as-
saulted the officer in a most Nat.ige-manner. She is
committed to Shepten Mallet jail.
Saturday Grow Appleby, a boy about 14, was
charged at the Surrey Sessions, with picking the
pocket of a Gentleman of his silk handkerchief.—
Smith stated, that on the 25th of July he was on
duty outside Vauxhall Garth: is, when he observed the
prisoner, who was well known to him, pick a Gentle.
man's pocket of his handkerchief. On seeing Smi h
he escaped under a coach. Smith pursued him, and
took him into conceiy. On searching him, he found
three handkerchiefs in the crown of his hat, but the,
Gentleman was gone ; the prisoner was committed,
and the handkerchiefs advertised, but no owner ap.
,geared; and the pri.ionees father dying, his death
being caused in a great measure by the dissolute
conduct of his son, the Magistrate, from motives of
!humanity, discharged him. This was on the mor-
ning of the 9th of August, at which time his father,
I was lying dead. On the same evening, however,
Slavish again saw him in the road fronting Astley's
Theatre, following his avocation. Smith again saw
him pick a Gentleman's pocket of his handkerchief,
which he put into the crown of his hat, and then ran
•
off. Smith pursued him ; and at some distance from
the Theatre overtook him. He remonstrated with
•him on his conduct, when the prisoner desired he
would not preach, observing, he might de his worst,
as he could only lug (traautteri) him. The Jury now
found him Guilty, and the Cunt sentenced him to
seven years transportation.

-POLIAE.

Bow-sTntrr.—Yesterday, &Jot B.frr.o alias Doh
Barney` John Peen, • If'illians Ryland, and lams Zing,
four of the most notorious pickpockas, were brought
to this Office by Jefferson and others of the patrole,
for picking pockets. Jefftrson stated, that he and
two others were in Soirthamptotostiett on Sunday
afternoon, during the procession .4. Mr. Raymond's
funeral. They obierved IN. four prisoncrs irr com-
pany with an• therm in not in cost'.dy, walking up
and down ; presently they got found an elderly Lady
and Gentleman who were standing atm in arm.—
They blistkd Aunt some time. and then set off into
tie Strand rather speedily. The constables directly
.o.ked them if they had lost any thing ? and the Lady
( Cameron) missed her pocket-hook. .14fferson
and Irk companions directly pursued, and went into
sescral public-houses in the Strand, and found them
(except Pullen) in a few _minutes, at a public-house
in a court lea.lirig into Burleigh street. Directly they
got into a private room to search them. Jefferson ob-
served Barnett put somethiLg under the table-cloth,
winch he found to be an old fashioned pocket-book,
containing £3 in Bank notes. Pullen was appre-
(raided in the Strand by Willson. Mts. Camelot,
identified her pocket-book ; and the prisoners were
fully eoonmitted to Neorgate for trial.
liaTrote-Gattoes.—A deplorable c.ose of distress
came before the Magistrates at this Office yesterday.
William Connor, of the parish of Nt. James, Cletken.
well, implored the interference of the Magistrates in
his behalf with the Parish Officers. He stated, that
he had been to Liverpool to gain employment on
board a merchant ship; that he had failed in his
object. and had returned to London ; he had spept
all he bad, and had even sold the shirt off his back
on his return home. On Saturday he applied for
relief to the Parish, and he had received sixpence,—
that morning he had again applied. and reef ived an-
other sisyenee. The wretched man intreated to be
sent to pi icon, or that any thing should be done with
nom for the present, as be had neither :roes to his
feet, clothes to his back, nor where to lay'his head.
In his peseta state, he was utterly helpless, for no
one would give him employment. Had he shoes and
a shirt, In: thought ke might be enabled to get on
b ate Indiatman. Mr. Jones, one of the Parish
Cl 4 era. who was present, admitted that the case Wai
deplorable,in thee:creme; but said the parish officers
wen: not in fault, as the Hoard for supplying clothing
would not meet till tbis day week.—,, And what,"
said the Magistrate, is this poor wretch to do
meanwhile I Is he to be left to die of cold and hun=.
ger, or to be brought up before me to-morrow, if
bound lying on the brick-kilns, as a disorderly person,
and be committed to prison ? For shame I Tell the
Parisi, °dicers, Mr. Jones, from me, that if they
neglect their duty so scandalously, I will resort to
the Act of ParliaMent, summons them before me,
and put the law into execution against them, to the
uttermost." He then ordered the man a shilling to
pay fur a lodging last night, and to be taken into the
house, cr some means devised, on this day, to put
him iu a condition to tarn his bread.—The unfortu-
nate man, it appeared, had been 19 years at sea,
sore'. 411 whiclt he had been in his Majesty's service.
He looked like misery personified.
Quesav-astuosts.—tleoebeth La, a miserable looking
old se,trien, 70 years of age, was brought to the
Office by one of the Chelsea constables, charged be.
tote the -hitting Magistrate (P. COLQUIIOIng, Esq.)
with. stealing a female child, belonging to John
Knowsley, a shoemaker, of Chelsea: The prisoner
fully committed for trial at the present Sessions
for Mid.ileses. There was another ctrarge agalist
her for stripping another child last week in West.
minster 01 a pair oi half boots and a frock ; but on
account of the absence or a principal witness, she was
remanded on the ratter Chargt- till to.rnorrow.

WORSIIIP-STllENT.—Yeatroay Wilranr Green, a silk
dyer :ow weaver in Spitaltields, was charged by the.
Overseers the Parish u 1 Shoreditch with having
cruelly beaten Mary Stevens. his apprentice girl,
wbo t► only about 14 years of age. Mr. Green was
ordered to retund the premium he received from the
Parish, and to give up the indenture, which be con-
sented to do.

Friday night, about nine o'clock, a West Country
Barge lying on the Thames, near Paul's S:airs,
Tli.itnes-street, was plundered of a large chest, con-
taining ltussia sheeting and various other Articles.
Friday morning a young fellow dressed in blae, of
genteel appearance., about five feet three inches in
',eight, marked with the small pox, knocked at the
door of Mr. SAwkins, a Gentleman residing in Bart-
lett's-buildinga, Holborn, the servant girl opened the
door, he presented a letter addressed to her master,
and asked if be was at home ? as he wanted an en.
surer to it. She replied that he was in bed, but s'.ie
wculd go up and inform him ; while she was gone
up stairs, be entered the parlour, opened a cupboard,
took a silver teapot and stand, and six silver spoons,
and escaped.

A daring burglary and robbery was committed or.
Bunchy night, at the house of Mr. Thacksted, in the
road leading to the Alpha Cottages, Mary-la-Bonne.
The robbers effected an entry by scaling a wall low.'
teen feet high, and then, by means of house-breaking
implements, they got in through the laundry. They
rifled three parlours, and took away a quantity of
plate, linen, &c. They drank three bottles et Ma-I
Jeira, and with two fowls and some ham regaled
themselves in the laundry. It is supposed the rob.
bers were disturbed, as a quantity of light articles
were packed up, whirls were left. The loss is esti.
mated at £l5O.
