Early on the morning of the 22d instant, a barn
belonging to Mr, Hopkins, a butcher in Kenilworth,
near Warwick, was broke open, and robbed cf about
twelve bags of wheat.—Wednesday morning last,
Oxlip two o'clotk, a barn in the occupation of Mr.
.Richards, farmer,. in the same village, was broke
open' and robbed of about fourteen bags of oats and
eight of pies;.which were taken away in a waggon
drawn:by Vitae horses. At five o'clock the rubbery
was discovered and the alarm given, when it was ob-
served that the time on one of the wheels had lately
been repaired, and the nails projected more than the
old ones. This circumstance enabled the waggon to
be traced without difficulty, which it was to a fatnt-
house between Warwick and Birmingham. The wag-
gon was being unloaded, when the owner of the grain
arrived with some of his neighbours, who immediately
secured the property, together with the robbers. The
former was brought back in triumph in the same
waggon that took it out in the morning, and the rob-
ben have beetle committed to Warwick Jail. They
prove to be a farmer and his sons, the owners of the
waggon and horses.
At a late hour on Thursday night, as Mr. A.
Mentz, of Shadwell, was going across Spafields, he
was suddenly knocked down, within twenty yards of 1
the Loyal Volunteer public-house, two ruffians im-
mediately rushed upon him, and putting a hand-
kerchief in his mouth, took from his person a silver
watch, and a steel purse containing two guineas in
gold and seven shillings in silver, and then left him
with the handkerchief in his mouth, and ran up Cop-
pice-row.
The house of Mr. Thomas Price, Mile End, was
entered by thieves on Thursday night, and robbed
of several articles of wearing apparel. An iron crow
and a dark lanthorn were found, which they left
'behind.
The house of Mr Walgore, Spitalfields, Was broken
into the same night by some ruffians, who forced
open the area-gate, and succeeded in getting in at the
kitchen window. They ascended to the drawing-
room on the first floor, and broke open a beanfet,
where the family plate was usually deposited, but
happily the servant did not wash it alter dinner, and
fearful it would be seen, she carried it into her bed-1
room, and the thieves were obliged tote content with
a time-piece and other trifling articles, with which
'they decamped. •
Colonizes leranzer..LSaturday night an inquisition
was taken before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. Coronet,
at the Buffalee's Head, New Road, Mary-la.bonne,
opposite the lafirmary, on the body of Jacob Swe:-
. denbourg, a foreigner.
William Frederick Goodyer, house surgeon to the
Mary-la-bostae Workhouse, deposed, that the de-
ceased had been living for some weeks in the conva-
lescent ward of the house. On Thursday morning
be was called by the nurse to attend the deceased ;
he was informed that be had received a violent blow
with a large sticks he examined him and found that
be was quite dead. On his left hand, over the sinews,
was the mark of a blow. He was of opinion that the de-
ceased died in a fainting fit, caused partly by pain
and a diseased state of the heart. It was not com-
mon for a blow on that part to produce immediate
death; but Its believed the deceased's death was
caused by the blow $ his Wide being week. the mo-
tion of hit heart was suspended by excessive fainting,
which nature could not overcome.
Elizabeth Allen, nurse of the convalescent ward,
deposed, that on 'Thursday morning, about eight
o'clock, the deceased was in bed, and a man named
Hurst in the next bed to him ; she was serving the
paupers with their breakfasts, and heard ,blow given
by some weapon; she saw the deceased faint ; she
went to assist him, he appeared to be dying; she did
not know on • what part he bad receiveditbe blow;
she went for Mr. Goodyer, the swivels $ when hk
came they found the deceased was quite dead. He
was well in health on the preceding evening, and ate
a hearty supper.• She could not account for his death,
it vas maimed by the blew be received.
She semen named Hurst quarrelling with the
deceased; be threatened-him and swore aChint, and
said be would cut of his head $ the MOM she heard
immediately afterwards, but did not see Huai whom
it was given. The deceated was saying flis prayers,
and IMP cause of provocation for the Wet.
William Reynolds, a pauper, deposed, that on
Thursday morning, about eight o'clock. a man
named um* who lay in the nest bed to the de-
ceased, began abusing him in a violent Manner g he
swore at hs and threatened to beat him &one of the
paupen told him to bold his noise, et lit:would report
hits she said «D—n him, I will cut Wt the
bead." Horst took op a large olive stick, and struck
the deceased with it ; he immediately fainted, and
before the =came to his assistance, be was dead.
He was a h inoffensive map sad save no pro-
Vocation to Hurst.
