Two informers, from the neighbourhood of Bristol,
having laid several informations against the different
coach proprietorrof Oxford, for carrying more passer'.
gers than is allowed by law, at the time the Members
of the University were going down, and during the
election, lout o'clock on Wednesday afternoon last was
appointed by the Mayor of Oxford, for hearing the
parties, but after waiting some time, and no person ap-
pearing, the Mayor left the Court. It afterwards ap-
peared, that the men were proceeding towards the Half,
*hen they were recognized by a party of coachmen,
who, feeling indignant at having so many informations
laid against their employers, were determined to have
a lark. The informers, in order to avoid them, turned
down Brea er's-lane, from thence down • St. Ebbe's,
shere they were met by another party of coachmen, t,.
avoid whom they took to their heels, through St.
'Thomas's, followed by a number of men, women; and
children, from that parish, and were at last fairly run to
ground in Osney .Mill. They were then taken into the
turnpike road, where, after having been brushed down
by a chimney sweep, they were decked in the river, in
order, as he said, to clean them before they set out on
their journey. They were then started for Bristol, since
which they have not been heard ofi,
CABLISLI. Jung ft—Yesterday morning, the un-
fortunate man, Robert Noble, who was wounded in the
affair of the 6th, died.of the wounds. An inquest was
held on the body in the afternoon, when the Jury de-
clared that " the death of the deceased was accidental,
*rid arose from a that fired by the military." The wit-
nesses who were examined were the surgeon, who de-
dosed to the nature of the wound, and its consequences,
and whn likewise offered to swear to the dying
.decla.
ration of the deceased, that he had no concern in the
riot, and was returning quietly home when the accident
hippened ; but which the Coroner refused to receive as
evidence, on the grounds that the deposition was not
taken in the presence of a Magistrate, and that it was
act signed by the deceased—a Gentleman who swore to
the reading of the Riot Act—and the individual who,
on the previous inquests, swore to having seen Irvine, a
private of i.e 55th, :boot Noble. Other witnesses came
forward in prove that Noble had no concern in the
riot; but the Jury declared themselves petfectly satis-
fied of that fact, and their depositions sere not taken.
- Ftvkl‘atamlis POSONEL—MondAy. a woman named
Elisabeth Neale, called at the house ore labOuring man
named ridlton, with some veal for sale. Dalton put-
chased a joint of this veal, and dined on it, with his fa-
mily of four.children, on Tuesday. In the afternoon
they were all seized with violent pains in the stomach,
aihd all continue under the care of a surgeon, confined
to bed. 'she family of Samuel Beresford, in Heaton-
lane, dined on another j +int of the same calf, and were
all attacked in the same manner. Three of them are
confined to their beds, and the other three, although not
so violently affected, are still suffering from the effects
of this deadly food. Three other families, one in Hea-
tort-lane, one on Lancashire-hill, and one in Park street,
purchased veal from the same woman, and have all
been attacked, more or less violently, with similar symp.
tom,- Elisabeth Neale, the woman who sold the veal,
states that she bought it from a wholesale dealer named
Salt. It is supposed that the calf must have taken some-
thing w produce mortification, which led to such a me-
lancholy result. An event nearly similar to the above
took plkce in Cork the week before last. A man
named Shea had a heifer calf rearing, which died on
-Xredriesday week. Shea had it dressed at night for his
ly, who ate of it, as did some of the neighbours, to
the number of twelve persons. They were all taken ill
. that 'night, *nd Shea s son, a lad 19 years of age, died
died Saturday; a woman who partook of it died on the
Sunday, and the remaining ten are so ill that little
hopes are entertained of their recovery.--Steckport Adv.
