Yesterday an inquest was held by the coroner for this borough on the body
of Mr. Wm. WARD, only child of Mr. WARD, an opulent brazier of this place,
who in the forenoon was found by his father hanging in the brewhouse quite
dead. Verdict, Lunacy. - The deceased was a bachelor, aged 46 years.

A fatal fever prevails much at this time in many fenny and low situations.
At Whittlesea, near Peterborough, on Sunday last, the affecting sight
presented itself, in one house, of the father and mother of a family both
lying dead; and their three orphan children were at the same time in such
a state of extreme illness as left little hope of the recovery of any of
them. The deceased pair were named Thomas and Mary LATTIMORE: the man had
been for some years a creditable labourer and householder in Whittlesea.

A young man of Donington, near Boston, was lately ordered by the Magistrate 
to sit in the stocks six hours for being drunk on the sabbath, and for 
abusing the landlady of the Vine public-house in that place; which sentence 
was indicted on him on Thursday the 14th inst.

A few evenings ago some villains broke into the brewhouse of Mr. PEPPER, 
at the Red Cow Inn, Donington, and let off a brewing of ale.

Committed to Oakham gaol, on Tuesday last, (by the Rev. Heneage? FINCH,)
John WELDON, for violently assaulting Mrs. PECK, wife of Mr. PECK, of the
Boot public house, Greetham.

William PAGE, who escaped from Oakham gaol in March last, was committed to
Warwick gaol last week, in the name of William SMITH, on suspicion of
having stolen eight sheep, the property of Mr. Edw. HERBERT, at Churchdown,
Gloucestershire.
