An inquest was held, on Monday last, at Burbage, before W.Adye, esq., on the body of Wm.Kingstone, a lad about 12 years of age. It appeared in evidence, that the deceased had been at plough near the Kennet and Avon Canal, which passes through the Marquess of Ailesbury's demense; that the report of a gun, proceeding from the canal, frightened the horses; and that the poor boy was struck in the back by the plough, which occasioned his death on the spot. There was no moral doubt, but that the gun was fired at a hare sitting on the bank, from one of two boats passing at the time, as the marks of several shots were found in a hare's form just below where the deceased had been at plough. Unfortunatley, however, there was not the slightest evidence adduced to prove by whom, or whence the gun was discharged. The boatmen, it is well known, are in the habit of shooting at any thing as they pass on the canal; and the Coroner observed, that if there had been legal evidence to fix the firing on any particular person, in the manner supposed, and that person was unqualified, he should give it as his opinion, that the jury would be warranted in returning a verdict of manslaughter. Under the present circumstances, their verdict was - "Killed by a plough, in consequence of the horses taking fright at the report of a gun, discharged by some person unknown."

Mr.Ayde also held an inquest at Wroughton, on the body of Robert Lightfield, who had been found dead in his house. - Verdict - "Died by the visitation of God." Also, at Froxfield, on the body of Robert Yeates, found dead. The deceased has been unwell for some time previously. Verdict - "Died by the visitation of God."

An inquest has been held at the George Inn, at Donyatt, near Ilminster, on Giles Trott, aged 27, who, early on Sunday morning, the 11th inst was found drowned below a bridge, called Town-bridge, near the church. - The deceased had always been a very passionate fellow, if at all thwarted , and on the preceeding evening he had some angry words with his mother, and came into the public house in a great rage, vowing he would never return home again, looking extremely wild and frantic, and he went off alone in that manner. His hat seemed to have been placed by himself on a bank near the bridge, and then it was believed he must have thrown himself into the river where there is a deep pool, and in which he was drowned. - Verdict, lunacy. It was mentioned at the inquest that the grandfather of the deceased was killed by a tree falling on him, that his brother was killed by a thrashing machine, and one of the jurors stated that this was the fifth of the family on whom her recollected an inquest to have been held.

Execution.
Saturday John Carter, who was convicted at the last assizes for this county of setting fire to a barn and premises the property of James and Henry Spicer, of Lambourn, was executed on top of the county gaol. The fate of this unhappy man, we hope, will act as a warning to those misguided wretches who, by wantonly destroying the property of others, - and that property generally the produce of the land, - fancy they are about to benefit themselves : no idea can be more erroneous and no alternative more destructive to the interests of the labouring classes. Carter was in his 27th year, and has left a wife and two infant children to mourn his untimely and disgraceful end. Previous to his trial, and subsequent to his condemnation, he acknowledged being the author of the crime of which he was convicted, and also of the fire at the Red Lion at Lambourn; but persisted in saying he was drawn into it by others. He listened with devout attention to the exhortations of the Rev.Mr.Young (who officiated for the Chaplain), and although brought up in a state of the grossest ignorance, he manifested a desire, by penitence and confession, and eagerness for spiritual information, to obtain that mercy from the Almighty which was beyond his reach in this world. - He passed his nights in tranquillity, and in an interview with his wife last week, and with his father and brother-in-law yesterday, he shewed no symptoms of anguish or despair, although he could not avoid shedding tears when with the former. This morning he received the sacrament, and continued engaged in prayer till a few minutes before 12, when the executioner entered the chapel in order to pinion him; after which, having first very composedly shaken hands with the prisoners who attended him, he was conducted towards the drop. There was scarcely any alteration in his appearance from the day he was tried. He continued praying until he reached the scaffold, which he ascended without the least indication of dread. The last preparations were instantly effected, and in almost the same moment the drop fell, and the wretched man died without a struggle. - Reading Mercury.

Honest Spirit of the Poor in By-gone Days.
The parish of Thurloxton, near Taunton, who now pays nearly £100 per annum, poor-rates, has been within the recollection of many of its respectable inhabitants, without a single pauper on the books. At that period, the farmers fearing they might be called on to assist the more necessitous finances of a neighbouring parish, determined to keep up the chartered pauperism by the ingenious expedient of sending the overseer round the parish to select a person on whom they might impose relief. The overseer first made the offer to one of his own workmen, named Taylor, but with very ill success, as he indignantly declared, that if such an insult were repeated, he would never work for his master again. The rebuffed officer then had recourse to another individual, Betty Day, a widow; but knowing Betty was of a somewhat warm temperament, he almost dreaded to communicate the nature of his mission; but one day seeing her, as he thought, in an excellent humour, he intimated that the parish had allowed her a shilling a week. Betty's wrath at these words, was highly kindled, and in an exasperated tone she exclaimed, "What ! Do you think that I will disgrace myself and family by receiving parish pay ?" The overseer beginning to despair of succeeding in his object, resolved on trying the effect of a little stratagem, and assured her that the offer of the parish arose by no means from any disrespect towards her, but that it was only, because as a wife, widow, and servant, she had behaved herself in so exemplary manner, that the vestry had made her a weekly present to buy her a little snuff ! - Betty at this was pacified; her countenance relaxed into a smile, and in the mildest way imaginable she said, "That's quite a different thing : tell the gentlemen I am much obliged to them."

Between 12 and 1 o'clock on Tuesday night last, as a man named Wm.Maton, was proceeding with a cart laden with coals through Catherine-street, Salisbury, the cart coming in contact with the Herald coach, was overturned, and the wheel striking the young man violently on the head, occasioned his death in an hour after the accident. A coroner's inquest has been held on the body, and a verdict of accidental death returned, with a deodand of 2s, on the coach, and 2s on the cart.

The First Situation for Trade
In Devizes,
with immediate possession.

To be Sold by Auction, by Mr.Crockett & Son, at the Auction Rooms, on Monday the 25th of March, 1833, at five o'clock in the afternoon, subject to such conditions as will then be produced, all that spacious and most commanding Dwelling-House and Shop lately in the occupation of Mr.Holder, deceased : comprising good Shop, Dining, Drawing, and 5 Sleeping-rooms, with an extensive dry Garret; also, an excellent underground Kitchen, Cellars, and domestic Offices. The whole held by Lease from the Mayor and Burgesses of Devizes, for an unexpired term of 65 years, subject to a quit rent of 27s 4d per annum.

The Auctioneers conceive they are fully justified in the assertion they have made at the head of this advertisement. Were they called on to give an opinion as to the most eligible situation for business in Devizes, this is the spot on which they would fix : indeed its commanding situation is such for any retail trade, as cannot fail to ensure a comfortable competency to that person who may be so fortunate as to become the purchaser. It only requires the display of a little taste, to render this a handsome, as well as a spacious front : they would here merely hint, as among the many improvements, the removal of the antiquated shop-windows for those of a modern style, which would metamorphose the appearance of the whole building, to an extent not easily conceived. It also possesses the peculiar advantage of two fronts, one facing the Market-place, comprehending the width of 43 feet; the other in the Little Brittox, generally admitted to be the greatest thoroughfare in Devizes.

The Proprietor of this Property has preferred public competition as the more preferable mode of disposal, from the circumstance of the numerous applicants he has had, both for purchasing and tenancy.

The Rooms will be well aired on the above occasion; the Auctioneers will feel a pleasure in being enabled to congratulate the fortunate purchaser.

For viewing, and for further particulars, apply to the Auctioneers.

At a Meeting of the Committee appointed to superintend the arrangements of Labourer's Friend Society, held at Devizes, on the 19th March inst.

T.H.S.B.Estcourt, Esq., in the Chair;
It was resolved,
1st. - That some gentleman in each parish within the district of this Society, be requested to make a return to the Secretary or the number of Acres let to the Poor; the quantity let to each tenant; the amount of rent; and the number of tenants in his parish; on or before the 28th inst.; and that the next meeting of the Committee do take place on that day, at the Town Hall, Devizes, at 11 o'clock.

2d. - That the principal Proprietors and Occupiers of Land within a convenient distance of Devizes, be requested to give this Society their countenance and support, and that the following letter be addressed by the Secretary to the principal Proprietors and Occupiers of Land in this neighbourhood :

Devizes , March 19, 1833.
Sir - The distressed condition of the labouring poor in this country - the alarming increase of the poors rates - and the degeneracy of manners inseparable from a state of pauperism, render it necessary to adopt some measures by which the progress of these national evils may be checked. Amongst the remedies which have been suggested, we venture to recommend as cheap, practicable, and efficacious, the system of Allotting Land on small portions to the poor.

From the examination of the numerous and well attested facts, we are convinced that wherever this Allotment System has been fairly tried, there has been both a considerable diminution of the Poors Rates, and also a visible increase of industry, sobriety, and contentment amongst the labouring population.

We earnestly request therefore that you would consent to provide a small quantity of land in those parishes where your property is situated, for the use and benefit of the labouring classes; and to Let the Land at the rent which the neighbouring farmers usually give for the same, in proportions of a quarter or half an acre to each person, and upon such other conditions as you may deem most advisable.

In conclusion, we beg respectfully to invite you to communicate your sentiments, respecting the practicability and advantages of this plan to our honorary Secretary , Major Olivier, in order that if those sentiments should be unfavourable, we may attentively consider and profit by your objections: and that if they should fortunately harmonize with your own, we may have the honor of co-operating with you in the charitable work of improving the condition of the distressed population around us. - We have the honor to be Sir,

Your most obedient Servants,
(Signed on behalf of the Committee,)
T.H.S.B.Estcourt, Esq., Chairman.
