NOP&MBEA 11.  afraid there was something unfair going forward; she thought she was doing the best to prevent any injury arising from it to herself, by taking the property to those it belonged to.—Shergold, an officer of St. George's, said, that the complainant bad kept a brothel a long time—had been imprisoned for assaulting Mrs. White, and had threatened to take away her life. On the night the robbery was stated by Mrs. Wire to have been committed, ,Mrs. White had numbers of persons to prove she was at home. And the man that brought the bundle to Mrs.Wbite's house, is a man who lives mostly at Mrs. Ware's.— The Magistrate examined several other witnesses, and took great pains to thoroughly investigate this case ; at the conclusion he discharged Mrs. White, and said, that he bad no doubt but there had existed a most base conspiracy between Mrs. Ware and her man to convict Mrs. White of a felony, and to make her case appear clear, she had sent the man with the property to Mrs. White's house. The Magistrate ordered the officer to apprehend the man, and to prefer an indictment for conspiracy against him and Mrs. *are.  HORRID Mortozns.....Extr.tct trout a private letter.

Mr. Chennell was found in his bed, with his head nearly severed fratn his body; the body of the Housekeeper was found in the kitchen. They were both far advanced in years, being upwards of GO. Great hopes are entettained that the perpetrators of these horrid deeds will be discovered; one man is ut custody on suspicion. Lord Middleton, with a mo►t laudable alacrity, attended on the spot the mowent he received iotelligence of this shocking catastrophe, to make personal inquiry into the circum• stances, and examine such persons as should be brought before him, or could gile any account of this horrid transaction."

EFTFCTS FROM FIRE• WORK&—Mr. Tidy, a respectable inhabitant ot Southgate, Middlesex, met his death on the sth of November in a very unespected and lamentable Ulan• ner, owing to the discharge of some squibs and crackers, which occa.iuned an Inquest to be held ou Fri. day last. From the statement of the witnesses, it appeared that Mr. Tidy had been out with his chaise, and had reached Southgate.on his return; that while walking by the s'de of his chaise, the discharge of some squills by a number of children who were playing with them on the green by the road.side facing the post-Afice, frightened Mrs Tidy's horse, which suddenly tuned round, and went off at fall gallop; and whether the carriage or the horse struck the deceased, could not be ascertained ; but be was, shortly afterwards discovered by the roaJ-aide in a state of insensibility. Being conveyed home, he was attended immediately by Mr. Hammond, surgeon, who found him insensible and labouring for breath : be died in about half an hour. Mr. Hammond apprehended his-death was occasioned by some sudden blow upon the aorta, which produced spasms and the rupture of some large artery ititernaliy. The pupil the eye was greatly dilated. The deceased was 42 years of age, and has kit a widow and five chil. dm. The Coroner, in substance, observed, that the letting off squibs and crackers in the vicinity of a public road was highly dangerous, cnd being in violation of the public tranquil ty, oas illegal, and when such a breach of law, after due caution; termi. nated fern, to an individual, he thought it constituted a criminal offence. The offender here cannot be identilied, and if he could, there might be diffi culty in imputing a charge cf criminality to a child, unaware of the volsequeni!es, and who might conceive himself trjoyirg a co:rimon and innocent diversion. This nits:lnch( ly the:ef:•re. pressed with the greatest weight upon the parochial authorities, who ought to have prevented such practices in their disttict, and he hoped this fatal event would operate as a warning and caution to them ; for in the recur. rence of a similar event, whatever might be the effects as to others, they wuuld subject themselves to a prosecution for gross, it nut criminal, negligence. Verdict—Accidental Death.
