A youth named Laagley, the son of the late hang-
man, having been convicted at the Old Bailey f,,r theft,
was ordered to be privately whipped, and which sen-
tence is generally performed by the common hangman.
The present Jack Ketch and his deputy, however, pre-
sented a petition to the Court, stating that they felt a
repugnance in punishing the son of their predeces,or,
who had initiated them in the art and mystery of their
calling, and praying that it might be inflicted by some
other City Officer. Mr. Seijeant AKABIN, on reading
the petition, said, he would endeavour to prevent the
feelings of the applicants being disturbed.
Saturday evening, an inquisition was taken at the
London Hospital, Mile End Road, before J. W. Umwsn,
Esq. the Coroner, on view of the body of Wm. Guage,
a lad seventeen years of age. It appeared in evidence
that the deceased, on Monday se'nnight, owing to
some dispute, challenged another youth, named Joseph
Palmer, to fight with him: in consequence of which they
met on Tuesday evening, in Heart Grounds, Bethnal
Green, each accompanied by their associates, young and
grown persons. A ring was made, when both stripped,
and after lighting three-quarters of an hour, the de-
ceased, from exhaustion, was obliged to give in. He
complained immediately after of violent pains in his
head, and on being taken home became quite insets ible,
in which state he remained until the following day. A
medical Gentleman was then called in, who recom-
mended his being sent to the hospital. This was im-
mediately done, and he expired a few hours after
his arrival. On dissection, a great quantity of extra-
vasated blood was found lodged in and about the mem-
branes of the brain, and the surgeon attributed it to
external violence, and which caused his death. The
Coroner, in summing up, said, that the present state of
society was much to be regretted, when persons who
had come to years of discretion could stand by and
two youths of the age of the deceased and his
adversary to fight three-quarters of an hour. Thecase,
in his opinion, was that of " Manslaughter," and as
the law made those persons who had taken an active
part in the fight equally principals, the verdict of the
Jury should extend to the seconds who had akted 03
this occasion. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict
of" Manslaughter" against Joseph Palmer, as principal,
and Kendall, Spring, and Tasker, as seconds.

MARRIED.

Monday sennight, at Manchester, John Wagstaffe, aged 60. to
Jane Martin, aged 73, both of Stockport. It is a remarkable cir-
cunutance that this couple of youthful lovers were joined together
in the holy bands of matrimony some seven and twenty years do.
Some time after this event, the former husked of the fair one
turned from the wars (in which she supposed be had found a
glorious grave), and wan,
his bride. She was accordingly given
up to him • for many years they lived comfortably togtthcr, and
the disappointed swain took to himself another rib. la cosh-sear
time she died, and soon after, Martin was gathered t kis fathers,
and the youthful couple, thus left to follow the bent of their OWIII
inclination, have now gone through the ceremony a second time, to
the mutual satisfaction of both parties. They have a son living, the
offspring of the former marriage, whose age is 26.
