Oa Wednesday, Richard Garvs, of Reels?, town, a Lai
right years of age. was brought to the County Intimacy,
in con•evence of.his having, two hours previou-ly, got a
small plumb-stone iuto his windpipe: he was in the act o:
cracking it between his tett!), when it slipped back aar.
and by a sudden respiration, was drawn into the passage ? .
the bangs, which produced a tendency to suffocation ; It
as the stone remained lengthways in the windpipe, lie :vas
able to breathe at intervals without much dtlficillty. I
this state lie was brought to the IMirtuary, where !;:.
Orogen and Surgeon Thwaites happened immediately at-c..
• de to arrive, anti were the instrunaenta under Provident—,
of saving the boy's life. In a fit of coughing the stone irot
across the passage which produced a total stranguhtjo:l,
and not an instant was to be lost in performing the oper rtioa
of bronehotomv, which consists in 'fulfillg an incision
through the skin, and then an opening into the windpipe
below the obstruction, so as to edmit the passage of art to
the lungs ; and although Mr. Thwaites lost not a moment
in performing the operation, yet before it could be finished
the boy was apparently dead ; he, however was so fortunate
as to bring about the act of respiration, the heart began td
brat, the circulation of the blood followed, and animation
was restored ; in a short time the stone was extracted, an
the bay now remains in the hospital in as fair a way of
recovery as such an operation would admit of —(Lime,

• In Memory of
REBECCA ROGERS,
Who died August -23, MS,
Aged 44 years.
A House sh- bath, it's made of such good Fashion,
Tile Tenant ne'er shall pay for Reparation,
Nor will her Landlord ever raise her Rent,
Or turn her out of door for non-payment ;

To such a house, who would not Tenant be?
On Friday ae'nnight a singular fact occurred at Stant
Clement's Church, Hasting•-- r female. who had scar, et.y
recovered from her accouchement, was churelied, her chilli
christened, and her husband buried. Tire various duties
were perfumed by the Itev.Mr. Ash, Curate of Hasting 4.—
Sussex Advertiser.
An investigation, which occupied nearly three days.
was made betore the magistrates, relative to the last is
and testainen' of Mr. Marriott, of Colston Basset, in this
county, of RUM notoriety,antl whose death was recorded
is
this paper afe 4' weeks since. It appeared, in the course of
investigation, that the deceased made a will sometintv
disposing of his property as therein directed ; but aftur
death, a second testament was broug'.• forward, purpor:ime
to have been executed about two or truce weeks previous lo
the testator's death ; bnt from the great imbecility natter
which Mr. Marriott laboured at that period, a suspicion
arose as to whether the latter instrument had not been
FORGED; one of the younger Marriotts, and the three salt.
scribing witnesaes thereto, namely, -- Farnham and
Ty:er, of Whatton, and -- Green, of Lung Bea-
nington, and several others, were closely and strictly ex•
amined before Henry Martin, Esq. a King's Counsel, and
late M. P. for Kinsale, in Ireland; the Rev. Thos. Beam
mons, of East Bridgford, and the Rey. Robert Lowe, of
Bingham, all Justices of the Peace for this county. It ap-
pears that sufficient was not elicited to warrant their com•
moment on that charge, bat they are held to bail for their
appearance at the Heat assizes, to answer to that of a rod-
sitiracy to obtain their object.—(A'ollinghuna &rime.)
