proved his entire ignorance of their being in his house,
and his servant girl proved that she had concealed

A scene of desolation presented itself on the coast
near Appledore and Bideford, on Saturday morning
last. It was strewed with the wrecks of property
washed in by the tempestuous waves. A vessel be-
longing to Cornwall was made a complete wreck, and
her crew drowned, but her sails and rigging were pre •
served through the seal and activity of the mariners of
the place. A vessel, without any person •on board,
was also brought in ; and some men, belonging ta
Clovelley boat, were picked up at sea, but, by the hu-
mane exertions of the sailors were saved from inevit-
able death.--(l6id.)
Thursday, John Clason, the person who was con-
victed of perjury at the Circuit Court at Stifling, en
Monday, the 17tbinst. and sentenced to six months
imprisonment, fell from his seat in a fit, and expired

NQUUT AT KOCIISIPTER.+OII Monday se'ehight
the Coroner for the city of Rochester held an in-
quest (which was adjourned till Tuesday, and did no:
close till Thursday last), on the death of James Qitie,
a soldier, on whose account Thomas was in
custody on suspicion of having struck the deceased a
blow,,which was the occasion of his death. The lead-
ing facts in this intricate case were thus deposed to
by the following persons :
David Perry, a private in 71st Foot, stated that on
the 4th Sept, about 5 is the afternoon, he was going
np Chatham High-street, near the Woolpack public-
house, when he observed a sailor (before known to
him) named Thomas, strike the deceased with a piece
of iron over the right eye ; the deceased was going
towards the door of the house, and the sailor from it;
the deceased fell, but as deponent was fearful of hieing
beaten, he hastily proceeded on.
James Miller, Esq., Surgeon of the Hospital stated,
the deceased was brought to the Hospital ott the 4th
about eight in the evening, having received • a severe
blow over his right temple, and a bruise ovei his right
eye; that he lingered unto the 14th, on which day be
expired, having remained in a state of insensibility,
and that he died from the effects of such wounds.
Charles Thompson, a waiter at the Waterloo public
house, swore that the deceased was sitting in the W t.
terloo public-house in the evening of the 4th, abont
nine o'clock, and that the sailor who was in custody
was likewise there; after remaining drinking some
time, a quarrel ensued with the soldiers present, when
the sailor used threatening language towards the sol-
diers, aatl took up a piece of iron to strike some of
them. The deceased- was there, but had not been
struck; produced the iron, which was also identifiel
by Perry.
From. the evidence of three respectable persons, it
appeared a quarrel arose about 5 o'clock in. the even-
ing of the 4th, amongst some soldiers in the Wool-
pack, whet one man was struck, who it it believed was
Quin, but it was not supposed seriously an he ever:
away. It was proved there was no fighting or
seufile out of the house, as the soldiers, overpowerel,
made their escape, and upon means being taken to
quell the disturbance, they all separated. . That the
deceased aftrrwards walked up to his barracks at Cha
sham, in the early part of the evening, went to bed,
and was assitited by his comrades, and before eight was
removed to the Hospitals% Fort Pitt.
Parry was again examined ; he persisted it his for-
mer statement, sadadded, that be had prevititiely beard
Thomas threaten he would be the death of a soldier;
and after Quin's Zeath be apprehended him, when ha
confessed striking bins.
Vpon his cross-examinatiois, he stated be was close
by Thomas when be strutit.the aleceased by the Wool-
pack door, bat there was no scuffle nor any soNiersor
sailors near; be °paid- plainly dissent the piece of
iron ; he conla not, however, say how Tliiina% was
