BRUTAL OUTRAGE AND METRDER.  Tuesday, an Inquest was taken at the Bull public• house, at Burling, before J. N. DUDLOW, Esq. Co.. roner, on view of the body of Ellen Nl‘earthy, a poor old woman, aged 65, who was most cruelly and inhumanly beat an I abused by a set of young men, on, the evening of the Sunday preceding, and Iron, which barbarous treatment she survived but a few honi From the evidence adduced on the Inquest, it appeared that-the deceased and her husband had been drinking at the Bull public-house on Sunday afternoon, and on their return to Mr. Addison's (u here they were hopping, and had been so employed 1:r the last twenty years), a shod distance from the pub-Ik-horse, they observed fifteen or sixteen young men standing by the stream. They had also been drink• ing at the public-house, and had declared that they would have a row Frith the deceased and her husband, who, when they approached them, were seized by these fellows; the former was knocked down in the hedge and struck on her temples, they then kicked her and hit her with their fists. Whit.: this was going on, some of them took the old man up bodily, and carried him and threw him into a ditch some distance off, saying----,, We have done [or the old —, and we will now do as we like with the old —." They' continued to abuse the poor old woman, and proceeded to acts too horrible and disgusting.to name. At this juncture a man, named Flint, who also worked for ,Nlr. Addison, came slang, and the fellows made off. He took the old man out of the ditch ; the deceased he found lying in the road quite senseless and speechless. The old man took her up, and endeavoured to carry her home, but his strength failed him ; he laid her in a hedge in a field adjoining, where she expired a few hours afterwards. He knew one of the men who was ringleader in the affair, his name he said was Adds, but hone of the rest he could recognize. The deceased, it appeared, at the commencement of the transaction, was somewhat in liquor, but able to proceed from the public-house homeward without any assistance. Air. George Perfect, surgeon, who examined the body of the deceased, deposed, that she had several bruises about the body and head. He opened the head, and found that the scalp was detached from the bone in several places, particularly on each temple, and over the left eye, from the effects of external violence. On removing part of the skull, he found nearly half a pound of coagulated blood upon the brain, from a rupture of the principal blood vessel, which was the cause of the deceased's death. She died from apoplexy, but whether the rupture of the blood vessel was occasioned frornintoxication, or from any violence or bruises which die received, he could not positively say. He thought the external violence which caused the bruises was sufficient to rupture the vessel. After the evidence had been gone through, the Coroner proceeded to address the Jury, who, after some deliberation, pronounced a verdict of *Aid Murder against Thomas Adds, and other persons unknown. Adds has since been taken, and committed to the county jail, under the Coroner's warrant ; the others have, for the present, eluded the haud-uf jus. dm—Maidstone journal.  Tuesday night, a room in the Prince of Sara Coburg public-house, in the Kent-road, was feloniously entered, and_ a quantity of money, plate, and other valuable property, stolen therefrom.  ♦RR.
