About three o'clock on Saturday morning; Mt. W.
Lynes, resident at a house adjoining the Punch Bowl
Public-house, Coventry, kept by Mr. Buhhrtt, a..s
alarmed by the barking of his flog, and on groin . up
to the window, which looks into Mr. B.'s yard, .an
man with a lighted candle in his hand mining out of
Mr. B.'s kitchen, and enter the cellar, and soon after
hand something to his companions. Mr. Lynes im
mediately went down stairs in his shirt, armed
himself with a mop stail, and iurtrad of going doe u
the yard directly upon them, went round to the bridge,
in order to render his coming in contact With the
thieves more certain. On his arrival near them, one
of the villains exclaimed—" D—n your eyes, what do
you want-." To which Lynes answered—"thie of
nu, am! one I'll have before I go." On this he a.l-
- amid a shower of stones and bi irk bits, which
erre thrown at him by the villains, and proceeded
fearlessly to the wall which separates Mr. ll.'s yard
from the brook, in order to secure the person he SAW
enter the cellar. '1 he robber, Who was armed with a
carving knife, rut Mr. Lynes dreadfully across the
arm, who retaliated by knocking him into the brook
with his staff, and then jumped in after him : here a
dreadful contest ensued, which etas rendered still more
minuet by the approach of another of the thieve-4
I who instantly jumped upon Mr. L's back. The con•
54* turiice was the un.ortunate matt was dreadfully cut
and heat, but he couragt misty stuck to his MAU, and
with the assistance of Mr. J. Byres, (who fortunately
came up, and who had been previously engaged with
ow' of the party, but who afterwards escaped) brou.l.t
the villain (rions, name is Bradshaw) in custody to
his house. We are truly sorry to say, that Mr. L.
Ikea b.eu severely wounded in the face; and he re-
: c dved s dreadful cut on the arm, which it is feared
will deprive hie' of its use ; his fingers are cut; and
from the appealanee of his shirt three distinct 'stabs
were made at his body, but fortunately the murderous
intention was defeated. Mr. Eyres received a severe
cut across the chin, and which, had it been aimed a
quarter ofan inch lowrr, would probably hare deprived
him of his life. Ihe villains had the same night pre-
viously stolen eleven fowls from the premises of Mrs.
Hamer, at the Malt Slsovt4 public-bouse, which were
&firmer& futtod in a bag in an adjoiuing field. ',bey
took frotii Mr. Bobbett's premises about 30s. in half
pett...e, three pair of shoes, and a decanter of wire.
The till. containing apart of the money, has been since
found, and we are informed that another person be-
lon4ing to the gang has been apprehended.
On Wednesday, the 13. b instant, an inquisition Was
held at Bed:Harley Heath, Warwickshire, on the body
of John Butler, elm the preeding day was taken out
of a draw well, wherein he was suffocated by foul air. It
appeared in evidence, that on the Monday the de-
ceased was down in the well cleansing it fur several
hours, that on his being drawn up be set fire to a
bolting of straw and let it drop down the well. on
which there was a report sutficient to shake the win-
dows in the house adjoining. Hr attempted to descend
in a few hours aft. rwards, but found the smoke over-
p ewer him, and left the work till the next morning,
when on his descending to the bolt of the well, le
said, " her: is not so much smoke here as above."
in a few seconds a 'ma. was heard, James Brookes
L was let down, and found the deceased leaning
against the side of the well in a state of insensibility!
becoming himself overpowered, he called out to Le
wound up ; he descended a second time, but bef ore i.e
could place a rope round the deceased, he was oppressto
and obliged to be drawn up again, and remained ft r
some time wholly insensible. Butler was not got nut
for half an hour and was tiro quite dead. Vertlic
