emelt was out, and afteilri'sis wits claimed by the
Surrey Militia, to which Regiment he had actuaily
belonged when he joined the Westminster.
In defence, he said distress inductd him to cob.
, mit the fraud.
The CHA IRMA:4 then said, the offence of which he
was found guilty, rendered him liable to transporta,
tion under a certain Act of Parliament, but there
was another Act of a more lenient tendency which
authorised the Court to punish by imprisonment; it
was fit that all Militiamen should know the law made
such an offence punishable by transportation; but
the Court now felt disposed to take the most lenient
course; therefore the sentence is, that he be impri,
sor.ed for six months, and be kept on the County
Jail allowance.
John Connell was found guilty of picking the
pocket of Blackman, Esq.—The Castausn, ad;
dressing the prisoner, said :-4, The Court is nth:

you be transported for seven years."—Prisone._mi

DREADFUL OCCURRENCENIF. O'RbetTA:.:ena
man of about twenty-four or twenty-five years of
age, tall and well made, arrived at Brighton from
Dieppe about a fortnight ago. He put up at the
King's Head Inn, Vest-street, where he continued. .
On Thursday night, he retired to bed
and twelve o'clock, and as late as between two and
three o'clock in the afternoon of yesterday, the ho.,
who had taken Mr. O'itl:AN's boots to clean t!re !t
before ascended with them to his bed-room.
tering the room a ghastly sight presented .It„lr._
Mr. (YRTAN was a corpse. Ilis back rested upon
small dressing-table to the right of the door ; laic feet
pressed the floor on one side, and his herd hung 0,„
the table on the other. He was naked to his sh:r.
Ilis body was changed to the hue of old parchment;
the neck was horribly swoln—the face also; bh,sed
had coagulated about the n: se, his b;e;st.
tered, and the skin of the right arm %vas scariii4
and shrivelled. 'llse chamber, a small one, had as.
sumed the complexion of a coal-hole; not a vestige
but the rings and the iron rod were lett of the bed
furniture. The bed was partially reduced to ashes,
and the outer edges of the matrass, at the sides and
foot of the bed, were reduced to cinder. The florr
at the left angle of the bedstead was damaged to
the joists.• Great confusion and close investigation
followed ; but the body of the deceased was left ur..
touched, for the inspection of the Coroner and his
Jury. An Inquisition has been held. By the depo.
sitions, no doubt remained that the deceased had left
his candle unextinguished, which had communicated
its flame to the bed, and produced the catastrophe
described. On the frame of the door there wee
mark of blood, and deceased's fingers were scorched
and bloody. Lt is supposed, that awakened by the
pain he suffered when the flames reached him, he
had been induced to make for the door, but suffo.
cated by the smoke, 'had been unable to open it.
The door was not locked, and until that night he
was observed to sleep with it open. Several letters
of the deceased were found, one from his father, by
which it appeared that he is a native of Cade, in
the county of Tipperary. Due information of this
shocking event has been sent to his friends, The W-
ing of the Coroner and Jury was as follows, sit.
" That the deceased was suffocated, in consequence
of being accidentally burnt by the bed furniture
taking fire in the bedroom in which the deceased
slept, owing to the candle. being placed and left to
near to the same by him, the deceased."
Sunday, a melancholy circumstance occurred en
the premises of Mr. flight, a farmer, at Chapel.
house, Poplar Marsh. His son, a youth ten years of
age, obtained, unperceived, a large pistol loaded wit's
powder and swan shot, which he took into the farm-
yard, where he was at play with a lad about his own
age, son to Mr. Boost, turnpike-keeper of the Isle of
Dogs Ferry-road, Poplar, and while in the course of
play he happened to pull the trigger, when the shot
unfortunately lodged in his playmate's hip, and tore
the 'flesh off the bone. He was instantly attended by
a surgeon, but inflammation ensued, and he died on
Wednesday.—An Inquisition was taken yesterday, at
the Gun Tavern, Blackwall, before Mr. UNWINI the
Coroner. Verdict, " Accidental Death."
Yesterday, as Mr. Bell, a master bricklayer, cf
Goodge-street, Tottenham-court-road, and two h.
homers, were erecting a scaffold to the house No. 30,
in Portland-street, by one of the cross poles breaking,
they were precipitated to the ground, a depth of 35
feet and upwards. Mr. Bell had his.leg broke, and
was otherwise dreadfully bruised. The two labourers,
one of whom has a v, ife and four children, had each
several bones broken, and were taken to the Middle.
sex Hospital without hope of recovery.
