Thursday evening, the Isleworth coach, on its ar-
rival from London, was driven into the village for
the purpose of setting down, at their respective habi-
tations, two females, one an inside, the other an out.
side passenger. The coach having arrived at the
'house of the former, the driver got down, leaving the
reics upon the backs of the wheel horses, and before
the Lady could alight, the whistling of some mis-
chievous boy set the horses off: they ran through the
village with great speed, turning the sharp corners
of the streets with the same exactness as if they had
been under the guidance of the moft skilful coach-
man, but the vehicle was at last thrown over, and
the unfortunate female on the outside so dreadfully
injured, that she expired at one o'clock on the follow-
ing morning. One of the horses was also killed.

The inhabitants of the pleasant village of Hamp-
ton, have been recently kept in perpetual terror by a
gang of ruffians, who have scarcely permitted a night
to pass without committing a robbery of some kind
or other. Not only have dwelling-houses been en-
tered, but out-houses, stables, &c. have been plus-•
dered, and everything portable indiscriminately car-
ried off. Application having been nude at Bow-street,
two or three intelligent officers have been sent down
to look after these nocturnal desperadoes.
