CHILD FOUND IN ULLSWATER LAKE. – On Thursday week the dead body of a male infant child was found in Lake Ullswater by a boy named HERD, who was fishing in a portion of the lake near Old Church, Watermillock. An inquest was held at the Brackenrigg Hotel on the following day, at which it was stated that the body was quite naked, and in about twelve inches of water, six feet from the shore. DR. MACGREGOR, who had made a post mortem examination of the body, was of opinion that the child had breathed and that it had been in the lake from three to seven days. An open verdict was returned. Since the inquest, the Penrith police have been investigating the case, and on Wednesday, a woman named ANNIE ELIZABETH TRIPPLETON was arrested at Hendingly Moor, near Leeds. She was charged with the wilful murder of the child, and also with concealment of birth. Prisoner was brought to Penrith on Wednesday, and will be examined before the magistrates to-day. ________________ Barb, Ontario, Canada

Saturday 22 Mar 1845 (p. 3, col. 3) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. CARRICK, Coroner.) At Greystoke, on the 7th instant, on view of the body of Caleb GREENHOW, husbandman, aged 23 years, who committed suicide on Wednesday evening. The deceased returned from Penrith on the previous Tuesday, very dejected, owing, as is supposed, to proceedings against him before the magistrates on that day, wherein an order in bastardy was made upon him. He rambled about in a most unsettled state of mind, from house to house, during the Wednesday, and expressed to several neighbours his intention to take away his life. Between eleven and twelve he left Joseph WILSON's. His conduct excited the suspicions of Mr. WILSON's servant girl, who followed him and used her endeavours to prevail on him to go home. He, however, passed his father's house, and on her again urging him to enter, he threatened to strike her, and drew from his pocket a rope. The girl became much alarmed, and ran back to call up his family. His father and brother returned with her, and heard a noise amongst the bushes, in a fence two or three hundred yards from the road. They hastened to the place, but too late to prevent the fatal deed, for deceased was found hanging from the branch of an ash tree. He was cut down immediately, and his corpse borne home. Verdict-"Suicide during temporary insanity." At Penrith, on the 10th instant, on the body of a male new-born child, whose body was found by two boys in a hole in the wall of a tunnel running underneath the road leading between Penrith town head and Edenhall. It was folded in a white coarse cotton sheet, and a good deal decomposed. Dr. WICKHAM made a post mortem examination, from which it appeared that the child had not breathed. Verdict-"Still born." On the 25th March [sic], in the Three Cannons' lane, Scotch-street, Carlisle, on the body of John SOWERBY, aged 66 years, who, on the preceding day, was seized with a vomiting of blood while walking along Scotch-street, and died in a very few minutes.-Verdict "Natural death." At Hall House, Threlkeld, on the same day, on the body of John BOWMAN, lead-ore miner, aged 57 years, who committed suicide by cutting his throat. About three weeks ago he started from home to go to his work at Greenside mine, his son accompanying him to the summit of the bridge, where he left him. It appears that the deceased had been shortly afterwards seized with a fit, had remained in a state of insensibility till noon of the following day, when he was found in a very exhausted state. He was removed home. Since then he has shown symptoms of insanity and very desponding. He walked out on the day of his death; his daughter went in search shortly after and found him lying by the side of a brook with his throat cut literally from ear to ear, and marks showing that he had made as many as six different incissions [sic] before he effected his tragical purpose.-Verdict "temporary insanity." At Cumwhitton, on the following day, on the body of Mr. John BROWN, jun., cattle dealer, who also took away his life by cutting his throat. The deceased had been paying his addresses to Miss ROUTLEDGE, of Fenton, for twelve months or so, but whether they were received or not did not distinctly appear; at all events she had not given him any encouragement of late, and attention on the part of other suitors had excited his jealousy. On Friday night he told his companion that he was going to visit Miss ROUTLEDGE that evening. There was not evidence to show that deceased had seen her on that occasion. On the following morning Mrs. ROUTLEDGE found him lying in the byre with his throat cut, and quite dead. Verdict "Insanity." At Brampton, on Wednesday, on the body of Mrs. Mary WILLAN, widow, who fell from her chair on Tuesday evening, and died instantly. Verdict accordingly. At Botcherby, on the 20th instant, on the body of John CARSON, gardener, aged 56 years, who fell down in the house of Thomas ROBINSON, Esq., and died immediately. Verdict-"Natural death." After the conclusion of the proceedings the coroner stated to the jury that in consequence of Dr. OLIVER having left Carlisle, he had appointed Mr. SABBAGE, the superintendent of police in Carlisle, to receive and forward all communications relating to the office, and begged that they would let it be known in the neighbourhood so that as little inconvenience as possible might be felt by the public. (Before Mr. LUMB, Coroner.) On Wednesday, the 12th instant, at Tallentire, near Cockermouth, on the body of a child named Christopher SMITH, aged three years, whose death was occasioned by his eating a piece of bread and butter, strewed with arsenic, which he found concealed behind the plates on the dresser, it having been placed there on the Sunday night previous, by the child's mother, for the purpose of killing vermin. The unsuspecting child ate the poisoned bread on Monday week, and lingered in great agony until the following day, when death put a period to its sufferings. The coroner explained to the jury the law on the case, and put it to them to say whether or not there was such culpable and careless negligence on the part of the mother as would amount to manslaughter. The jury, however, after retiring for a time, returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." The Jury then sent for the mother, and reprimanded her in severe, but suitable terms for the gross neglect of which she had been guilty, and expressed a hope that the melancholy result in this case would be a warning to all, as it showed the great danger of using deadly poison in such instances.-At St. Bees, on Saturday last, on the body of Ann DIXON, aged 72 years, who was unfortunately burned to death on the preceding day, by her clothes having become ignited, whilst sitting by her fireside. Verdict-"Accidental Death." (Before Mr. THOMPSON, Coroner for Westmoreland.) On Thursday week, the 13th instant, on the body of Thomas NICHOLSON, a maltster and innkeeper at Bolton, near Appleby, aged 27. Robert NICHOLSON, of Gilts, farmer, deposed that on the previous evening, about seven o'clock, a horse with a saddle and bridle on, but without a rider, had come down the road leading from Orton and stopped at his house. Shortly afterwards a person named Thomas HAYTON passing by, witness informed him of the circumstance, and requested him, should he learn who had lost the horse, to make it known where it was. HAYTON had not gone more than one hundred yards before he called out that he observed, at a distance of about half a mile, a man lying upon the road. Witness then took the horse, and accompanied HAYTON, but before they had reached the person he had got up, and was proceeding to meet them. On coming up to him he appeared to be cold and stupid, and on enquiry, witness elicited from him, that being rather intoxicated he had fallen asleep on his horse and had been thrown off and dragged in the stirrup; he did not, however, then appear to be tipsy. Deceased mounted the horse and returned with Mr. NICHOLSON to Gilts: his head was observed to be bloody, and he had also received a slight scar on his left temple. After remaining a short time, and partaking of some coffee that had been prepared for him, he started for home. The horse, which was a young spirited animal and uneasy to ride, deceased did not seem to exercise proper control over, but suffered it to proceed at a very fast pace. Witness and family waited to watch deceased ascend a hill, observable at some distance from the house, but a valley intervening between the places, they were unable to view the road all the way to it. The horse was seen rising the hill alone, and on their hastening towards the spot they found deceased laying at the foot of the declining hill, bleeding profusely from the nose and mouth and a cut on the right temple. When they reached him he was alive, but did not survive more than three minutes after. Witness was of opinion that the horse had tumbled in descending the hill into the valley and thrown deceased from him, and the wounds and bruises had produced death; and a verdict to that effect was returned by the jury. Deceased was a person much respected, and has left a wife and young child to deplore his untimely end.
Saturday 22 Mar 1845 (p. 3, col. 1-2) On Friday night last, as Mrs. Ann HINDE of Cockermouth, who has attained the age of 88 years and resides alone, was retiring to her chamber for the night about half after nine o'clock, she unfortunately set fire to her night gown, which she tore off and while endeavouring to extinguish the flames her chemise took fire, on which she ran out of the house to her son's, a few doors distant, and on her arrival she was completely enveloped in the devouring element. After the flames were extinguished she was found to be so much injured about the breast and head as to preclude the probability of her recovery. A handsome marble tablet has just been placed in the parish church of Crosthwaite, Keswick, in memory of Captain DENTON, youngest son of the late Rev. Isaac DENTON, many years vicar of that parish. Captain DENTON died at Bombay on the 22nd of February, 1844, and the tablet that has just been erected to his memory was subscribed for by his brother officers and a few particular friends, by all of whom the deceased gentleman was highly esteemed for his numerous amiable qualities. EFFECT OF FRIGHT.-A lady passenger on board the London Merchant steamer, which left London for Newcastle, on Saturday week, was so dreadfully alarmed by the thunder and lightning and heavy storm which impeded the vessel's course for four days, that death was the consequence. The steamer was two days over her time.

A DREARY NIGHT A darkling mist hung over the land, And covered the country round With a drizzling rain as thick as sand, - Drip, drip ! was the only sound. For I had lain in the street that night, As the gloomy hours flew by, Counting the drops by the dismal light Of a lamp that stood me nigh. A being came near me through the mist, A shrouded and cloth-clad thing. I heard him speak, but the words, I wist, Came with a scornful ring. For harshly they fell on the midnight air, And made me tremble within, The words I remember, for they were, “Get Up ! or I’ll run you in !” -Figaro.

LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS......Part 4 LAYING A FOUNDATION STONE. – On Tuesday, the 23rd inst., the foundation-stone of a new Primitive Methodist Chapel was laid at Bongate, Appleby. At half-past two the trustees and friends met at the room used as a preaching room, and proceeded to the site of the new chapel. The stone was already prepared, and a bottle, containing the Primitive Methodist, the Appleby and Kirkby Stephen Herald, a circuit plan, and a paper containing the names of the trustees, the circuit ministers, and the contractor, was placed in the cavity of it. The REV. W. SHIPLEY opened the proceedings by giving out a hymn and praying, and then called upon MR. JOHN HILTON, of Stainmore, to lay the stone. After this ceremony had been performed, he addressed the large company that had gathered to witness the interesting proceedings. The REV. H. PHILLIPS, of Kendal, followed, and showed how a man might enjoy many of the great blessings of Providence, and something better even than these – the religion of Jesus Christ, which brightens and sweetens all else. A hymn was then sung, and the REV. J. C. BARTON (Wesleyan) afterwards engaged in prayer. The company then adjourned to the Tufton Arms, Assembly Rom, which was fitted up in an artistic manner by the ladies. A most excellent tea was provided. At seven o’clock a public meeting was held, presided over by MR. G. JACKSON, of Tebay. MR. ISAAC BAYLIFFE read the report, and then the REV. H. PHILLIPS gave a very interesting lecture on Primitive Methodism in relation to British Churches. Altogether the proceedings of the day were interesting and instructive.

Two inclosures of freehold land, called “High Crocks” adjoining the Greystoke Road, and extending towards the Riggs in the township of Newbiggin, were bid to £600. After a short consultation, MR. JACKSON announced that the reserve to be £699; and no advance on that sum being made, the property was withdrawn. MESSRS. HARRISON and LITTLE acted as legal agents for the sale.
LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS......Part 3 ELECTION OF SECRETARY OF THE PENRITH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. – On Tuesday one of the largest and most influential meetings that every previously took place in connection with the Penrith Agricultural Society, was held in the Crown Hotel Assembly Room, to appoint a successor to MR. T. BOWSTEAD, who, on account of numerous other important business engagements, had resigned the office of secretary and treasurer. MAJOR HARRISON, of Bishop Yards, was called to the chair. There were two candidates for the office.....MR. H. NEWBY FRASER, of Hay Close, and MR. JOHN HESKETT, of Plumpton Hall. MR. ATKINSON, of Musgrave Hall, Skelton, seconded the nomination of MR. FRASER; and MR. HESKETT was proposed as a suitable gentleman to fill the office by MR. NICHOLSON, of Kirkbythore Hall. MR. J. HOGARTH, of Julian Bower, seconded the proposition. On the vote being taken, MR. HESKETT was elected by an immense majority. The result was hailed with loud cheers. On the conclusion of the committee meeting, which was afterwards held, MR. W. HESKETT proposed a vote of thanks to MR. THOS. BOWSTEAD, who, during the thirteen years he had filled the post of secretary and treasurer, had, by his assiduity, tact, and business ability, raised the society from a state of comparative obscurity to one of prosperity and usefulness. MR. BOWSTEAD made a suitable response. PIC-NIC AT NUNNERY WALKS. – A very pleasant gathering took place on Thursday last in the romantic and picturesque walks at Nunnery, near Staffield. Parties attended from Carlisle, Alston, and Penrith, but the storm of rain which swept over the district deterred the great bulk of the visitors from venturing upon the ground selected for enjoying the amusements organised by an efficient and active committee. The Westmorland and Cumberland Yeomanry Cavalry Band, wearing their neat uniform, about half-past three o’clock marched to the place of rendezvous, and sent forth a stream of dance music, to the inspiriting strains of which the few youths and maidens present soon “heaved into motion” in the stately quadrille, followed by a merry polka. But before the latter was concluded, the thick murky clouds overhead sent down their watery contents with such persistency that the company were compelled to take refuge in a large barn, in which the terpsichorean exercises were resumed and continued with great vigour until the evening, when a brighter state of things existing outside, the merry party, which had for some time been increased by fresh arrivals, once more turned out into the meadow, and devoted attentions to that attractive and popular old lady, “Aunt Sally”, merry gambols, and earnest exercises to the music of the excellent band, caused the time to pass pleasantly until half-past ten o’clock, when the “National Anthem” resounding amongst the rocks and through the woods announced that the joyous gathering had come to a close.
LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS.....Part 2 SIR W. LAWSON. – The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says SIR W. LAWSON has become the acknowledged wit of the House, and he very efficiently fills the vacant place of MR. B. OSBORNE, for, while his jokes and quips are fully as telling, they are less laboured than the highly elaborated strokes of humour in which the ex-representative of so many constituencies indulged when he still had a seat in the House. SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE CROPS IN WESTMORLAND. – It is reported that the late frost and the storm last week have had a most disastrous effect upon the crops in Westmorland. From Crossrigg to far beyond Morland, the havoc has been most serious, and the farmers, who are said to be always grumbling, have seldom experienced more disheartening reverses of fortune in the cultivation of the soil. The effect of the frost upon the potato crop has been most destructive, and the growth of grass and corn has been much impeded. On Tuesday the Helm wind blew in fitful gusts, uprooting trees, and doing considerable damage to tender plants. THE WEATHER. – Some refreshing showers of rain have fallen in this district during the week, and pastures and crops of all kinds look much invigorated by the long-desired moisture. On Thursday afternoon a storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by a fall of hail and rain, prevailed in Penrith for a short time, and then rolled away in a north-easterly direction. Yesterday morning the atmosphere was close and oppressive, and between three and four o’clock in the afternoon, two or three loud thunder-claps were heard, followed by slight showers. The electric storm, however, did not last for more than a few minutes; and in about an hour afterwards, the sun burst out with great brilliancy. STEALING A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY. – A labourer, of the name of WM. MURRAY, employed at the works in the reconstruction of the gaol at Appleby, has been apprehended on a charge of stealing a bottle of whisky from the bar at the Coach and Horses Inn, at the Bridge End, kept by MR. RICHARD HEBSON. He was seen by a person in the house go into the bar and take a bottle from a shelf and leave the house. MRS. HEBSON, on being informed of what had occurred, followed him on to the bridge, and took the bottle from his pocket. MR. SUPERINTENDENT PARKS, who was near at hand, after a rough struggle, hauled him off to the police station, prisoner, the while, protesting his innocence. He will be brought up before the Bench to-day (Saturday). THEFT AT NEWBIGGIN. – A navvie of the name of THOS. LEGG, a native of Bristol, was taken into custody on Saturday evening last, on a charge of stealing several articles of fancy jewellery, consisting of brooches, earrings, a locket and seal, &c., from the shop of MISS RUTH ELLWOOD, at Newbiggin, Templesowerby, grocer and draper. Prisoner went into the shop and purchased a shirt and pair of stockings, for which he paid. MISS ELLWOOD had occasion to go into a room adjoining the shop, where she remained but a few seconds, and on her return found the prisoner with a brooch in his hand and in the act of putting it into his pocket. She snatched it from him, and he left the shop, and she immediately after missed several articles from a glass case which stood on the counter. She at once made an outcry, and MR. SANDERSON and several other neighbours took prisoner into custody, and secured his hands behind his back with a leather strap until he was handed over to P.C. PICKARD. Prisoner was brought up before the REV. T. BELLAS and CAPTAIN GANDY on Monday and remanded to Saturday.
LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS......Part 1 PRESENTATION. – On Tuesday evening, Brother PETERS was presented by the members of the Inglewood Lodge of Good Templars, at Penrith, with a handsome timepiece, on the occasion of his marriage. THE LATE MR. MOULD. – Intelligence has been received from Spain of the death of MR. MOULD, railway contractor, well-known in connection with the construction of the Lancaster and Carlisle and Caledonian Railways. THE FACTORIES’ BILL. – Among the 61 members who on Tuesday night voted for MR. FAWCETT’s amendment to the Factories’ Bill, exempting adult women from its operation, were MR. ROBERT FERGUSON, SIR WILFRID LAWSON, MR. ISAAC FLETCHER, MR. WHITWELL, and MAJOR F. BEAUMONT. LOCAL PETITIONS TO PARLIAMENT. – In the House of Commons on Monday night, the HON. PERCY WYNDHAM presented a petition from the REV. JAS. THWAITES, of Caldbeck, praying for a redress of grievances; and on Wednesday night MR. PLIMSOLL presented a petition from Westmorland, in favour of his measure for the survey of shipping. VOLUNTEER PIC-NIC IN PENRITH. – The Inglewood Rifle Volunteers held a pic-nic in a field over the railway bridge on Thursday afternoon. Thunder clouds and drenching showers, however, are anything but desirable accessories to an al fresco fete; and only few were courageous enough to face the “pelting of the pitiless storm” in the earlier part of the proceedings; but in the evening, when the weather was comparatively favourable, the attendance was considerably increased. THE VOLUNTEER CAMP AT WINDERMERE. – The volunteers encamped at Windermere were inspected on Wednesday last by COLONEL WILBY, C.B., the Government Inspector of Volunteers for the district. The total number of men of all ranks under arms on the review ground was 587. The troops were put through a variety of movements, at the close of which they were addressed by MAJOR AINSWORTH, who said he was happy to hear that they might expect a favourable report. The men were then dismissed and the campaign concluded.
Saturday 15 Mar 1845 (p. 3, col. 2) MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT KIRKCUDBRIGHT.-A most melancholy accident happened at Kirkcudbright on Monday last, about twelve o'clock. Mr. IRELAND, retired steward-substitute of Kirkcudbright, and the Rev. Dr. UNDERWOOD, minister of Kirkcudbright, were crossing the Dee, by the ferry-boat, on their way to Borgue Manse, in Mr. IRELAND's britschka. Both gentlemen retained their seats in the carriage, the boat being so constructed as to convey horses and carriages over without unyoking, when the horse, which was a young and spirited one, suddenly reared, and plunged into the river, carrying the carriage and its occupants along with him. It was nearly low water at the time, and the river, swollen with the melting of the late snow running rapidly to sea, which rendered the situation of these gentlemen peculiarly dangerous. Mr. UNDERWOOD succeeded in forcing himself through the carriage window-swam towards the shore, and was eventually picked up by a boat which was promptly on the spot. We regret to state that full fifteen minutes elapsed after this ere Mr. IRELAND was rescued. He was carried forthwith to the Ship Tavern where Dr. SHAND and his son, Drs. BLAIR, HEWETSON, and HAMILTON, were immediately in attendance, but although every means which anxiety und skill could attest were used, alas! they were of no avail; and it became too evident to all that death had closed the career of the respected steward-substitute of Kirkcudbright. One feeling of distress will pervade the district on learning this melancholy bereavement.-Dumfries Courier.
Saturday 08 Mar 1845 (p. 3, col. 1) A CENTENARIAN.-There is at present residing in the pleasant and healthy village Portinscale, near Keswick, a venerable dame who Sunday last completed the great age of one hundred years, mother of Mr. John RITCHARDSON, of that place. The respected female can read without the aid of spectacles, may frequently be seen tripping along with agility betokening scarcely half her years, and from present appearances may yet live to see many anniversaries of her birth. [She is in the 1841 census of Portinscale as Ann RICHARDSON, age 95, Independent, and living with John RICHARDSON, age 60.]
Saturday 01 Mar 1845 (p. 2, col. 8) INQUEST AT LONGTOWN.-An inquest was held at Longtown on Saturday last, before Mr. CARRICK, coroner, on view of the body of Robert NIXON, schoolmaster, aged 69 years, who was found dead in bed. On the previous afternoon, he was suddenly seized with a falling fit, whilst in the discharge of his scholastic duties, but recovered immediately and retired to rest, apparently quite recovered, and in his usual health. When his daughter entered his room next morning, she found him a corpse. Verdict-"Accidental Death."-The deceased had seen better days, and previous to the introduction of the New Poor Law Act, he for several years was the contractor for the maintenance of the poor of the parish of Bewcastle.

DEATH OF LORD WYNFORD..To the list of illustrious and celebrated individuals who, since the commencement of the present year have ceased to be numbered among the living, we have to add the name of William Draper BEST, first Baron Wynford. His lordship expired on Tuesday morning last, at his seat Leesons, Kent, aged 78, having been born in 1767. The deceased peer was a native of Somersetshire, and received the rudiments of education at the grammar school of Crewkerne, in that county. Having determined on adopting the law as his future professional career, he was entered of the Society of the Middle Temple, and was called to the bar in Michaelmas Term, 1789. The circumstances which led to the retirement of Sir William D. BEST from the chief seat in the Common Pleas are not generally known. We believe the following statement contains the true version, and will not now be read without interest. When Sir Charles WETHERELL vacated the attorney-generalship, ministers found themselves in some perplexity, shown by the unusal [sic] time which elapsed before the nomination of a successor to the post. After having once before suffered another to be put over his head as first law-officer, Sir Nicholas TINDAL (then Solicitor-General) could not, without being a party to his own degradation, again submit to such an indignity. To have promoted him to the attorney-generalship would have involved the necessity of an appeal to his constituents; which if disastrous, as it was likely it would be, and following upon Mr. (now Sir Robert) PEEL's rejection at Oxford, it would have been not only disagreeable, but probably fatal, to the government. A vacancy was therefore created for him on the bench. Sir N. TINDAL would have preferred to have been made Chief Baron of the Exchequer; and it was actually proposed to Chief Baron ALEXANDER that he should retire upon a peerage; but the proposition was rejected. The Chief Baron had no claim to a pension, and had no disposition to resign the solid advantages of his post for the empty honours of a peerage. The next application was to Chief Justice BEST, who had already thrown out hints of a desire for a coronet. The prospect of obtaining the object of his hopes had such an effect upon a constitution already impaired by hereditary gout, as to bring him at once within the meaning and intent of the acts of Parliament regulating the retirement and pensions of the judges. His case was decided as being within the statutory provisions, and his lordship retired with a pension of £3,750. But, although compelled to withdraw from the bench, no longer able to perform its duties, and under a statute which requires that the judge to whom the pension is granted shall be afflicted with "a permanent bodily infirmity disabling him from the due execution of his office," Lord Wynford was nominated to the office of deputy speaker of the House of Lordsin direct violation of the terms, as well as the spirit of the wholesome statute. On the formation of the GREY administration in 1830, this disgraceful job was set aside. The disappointment inflicted on Lord Wynford was never forgiven. The latter part of Lord Wynford's parliamentary course was imbued with more than the ordinary quantity of political virus. The part his lordship took in the formation of Orange lodges in England, and his correspondence with Colonel FAIRMAN, one of the secretaries of that mischievous confederacy, was made the subject of parliamentary discussion, and rendered him the subject of unenviable notoriety. The growing infirmities of advancing age at length compelled Lord Wynford gradually to withdraw himself from public life. The deceased peer married, in 1794, the second daughter of Jerome KNAPP, Esq., who has been some years dead, and by whom he had ten children, four of whom only, however, survive him, namely, the Hon. William Samuel who succeeds to the title, born 1798, and married the youngest daughter of William HOYTT, Esq., of Berkshire; the Hon. Captain Thomas BEST, R.N., married to the second daughter of Lord RENYON; the Hon. and Rev. Samuel BEST, rector of Abbott Ann, Hants, and married the youngest daughter of Sir James BURROUGHS, late one of the judges of the Common Pleas; and the Hon. Grace Anne, married to Phillip Luke GODSAL, Esq. DEATH OF BARON GURNEY.We regret to have to announce the death of Sir John GURNEY, late one of the Barons of her Majesty's Court of Exchequer, which event took place on Saturday last at his residence in Lincoln's-inn-fields, in the 78th year of his age. In 1793 he was called to the bar, and in 1797 he married the daughter of W. HAWES, Esq., M.D. In 1816 he was appointed a King's Counsel, and he was promoted to the bench, on which occasion he received the honour of knighthood. It will be recollected that the learned judge resigned his judicial office on account of ill health a few weeks since. The name of GURNEY is associated in the mind of almost every reader with acts of enlarged munificence. The habits of Sir John GURNEY were in perfect harmony with the reputation for benevolence which so many members of his family enjoy. It is said that his clerk was in the habit of dispensing several hundreds a-year in small donations upon cases carefully selected and liberally relieved. The deceased judge was a man eminent for his attention to religious duties, and it is believed equally eminent for the practise of many Christian virtue. On religious subjects, however, he was a man who not only thought for himself, but more than once changed his opinions. In early life he was a member of an independent congregation at Clapham, of which the Rev. G. BROWNE was the minister. As he advanced in years he manifested an evident leaning towards Unitarian opinions; but before his elevation to the bench he joined the Church of England. It need scarcely be added that his life and character caused him to be regarded as one of its most worthy members.
