WOLVERHAMPTON, JANUARY SI.

ADJOUENRD INQUUT ON 11111 BODY OD Ma. JOSZTH
Flinn Yft.—lt appears from the depositions taken be-
fore the Cotoner, held yesterday by adjournment from
Friday, that the deceased went with a companion to the
Peacock, which he left a little past nine o'clock, and was
not afterwards seen until lie was found at the time al-
ready stated, vie. in a ploughed field between Willer.
ball and Wednesfield, lying upon his left side, with his
head near the hedge row, having his waistcoat unbut-
toned. It was a hard frost, and the gtouad covered
with snow, and the footsteps of only isne person could
be traced from the foot road to the place where he was
found; and these steps were visible f,ir about 200 yards,
in which distance he had evidently been down seven or
eight times, and a drop or two of blood was observed:
there was blood about his nose and mouth, and on his
hat, but about no other part of his person.—Mr. Haw.
thorn, surgeon, examined the body, and said there were
several slight bruises upon the head and knees, but none
sufficient to cause death. On opening and dissecting
the head, it was found in a ve►y natural state, nor did
the body exhibit any mark to cause suspicion that he
died in consequence of any violence; and wet of opi-
nion, that his death was caused from the extreme seve-
rity of the weather. Mr. Fowke, surgeon, was also of
the same opinion. The Jury, after a long and attentive
investigation, returned their verdict—Found dead. and
bis death occasioned by the severity of the weather.—
