Saturday 13 Feb 1819 (p. 3, col. 2-3) A Correspondent informs us, that the account of the proceedings before the Coroner at Whitehaven, on the inquest taken upon Miss Jane FARISH, was incorrectly given in our paper of the 30th ultimo. He assures us that the relations of the deceased did not represent her as a stranger, and John HODGSON, of Whitehaven, cart wright, one of the men who found the body, was actually summoned, attended, and was examined before the Jury. Coursing.-A match, which had excited considerable interest in the sporting world, was decided on Tuesday last, on the estate of Sir James GRAHAM, Bart., at Mossband, in the presence a number of sportsmen, notwithstanding the extreme wetness of the day, between Mr. R. NORMAN's famous bitch Lemon, and Mr. RAE's bitch Whip, the former beating her adversary two courses out of three. Lemon is considered a very valuable animal, possessing wonderful speed and bottom, and, we understand, may be matched against any dog for a very large sum. Several more matches of importance were decided in favour of Cumberland. On Saturday evening last, Joseph PATTEN, an inmate of St. Cuthbert's Workhouse and a cripple who moves about with difficulty on crutches, asked leave of the Housekeeper to come down to Carlisle, adding, that as he had particular business to detain him till eleven o'clock, he begged to have the outer gate left open for him. The housekeeper would not consent to the latter part of the request, but told PATTEN he had better remain all night if he wanted to stay late; this he agreed to and went. About half-past ten, as a man-servant belonging to Mr. SCOTT, of Botcherby, was going through the Broad Meadows on his way home from Carlisle, he met PATTEN hobbling along with two dead fowls in his possession. The man questioned him, and not receiving a satisfactory answer, took away the fowls and carried them home. On examination, they proved to be his master's property -and PATTEN was immediately pursued, overtaken, and placed in safe custody: on Monday he was committed for trial. It appears that the fowls roosted far out of the reach of the depredator, but he supplied his inability to climb after them by an ingenious device. He touched the breasts of the fowls with the top or shoulder part of his crutch, and they immediately stepped forward upon it, when he gradually lowered and secured them. On Sunday morning last, a notorious poacher was detected in the grounds near Lowther Castle, taking pheasants. In attempting to escape, he was fired at by the game-keeper, and the contents of the gun lodged in his thighs, &c. This same poacher met with a similar fate sometime ago, when trespassing upon another manor, but, it seems, the warning, strong as it was, failed in making a due impression upon his memory. On Tuesday night last, there was a grand Concert at the Theatre, Whitehaven, performed by the Gentlemen of the Harmonic Society, for the benefit of Mr. ORRE, musician: it was well attended. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-On Wednesday se'nnight, the following dreadful catastrophe took place at Holehouse near Fishburn, Durham. A young man named PEARSON, returning from a crow-shooting excursion, gave his gun to his sister, with directions to put it by. In the act of getting upon a chair to hang it up, the trigger by some means was drawn, and the contents of the piece passed through the heart of her mother, who instantly expired.-Coroner's Verdict, accidental death. Daring Attempt at Burglary.-On the evening of Tuesday se'nnight, a most daring attempt at burglary took place at Mill Yeat, in the parish of Arlecdon, about three miles from Whitehaven. The villians [sic], supposed to be three or four in number, first attempted to force the door; but it being very strong, and locked and double-bolted, the attempt was ineffectual; yet the violence used was such as to alarm the family, consisting of an old woman 81 years of age, her granddaughter's husband, and children. The assailants then pulled down an old window at the back part of the house, and attempted to enter there; but the courageous old dame, having armed herself with a sword (which had formerly been wielded by her husband in the service of his country), and aided by her grandson, who availed himself of such weapons as chance afforded, so gallantly defended the breach that not one of them chose to put his life in jeopardy by entering first. Foiled there likewise, they finally got upon the thatched roof, and attempted to enter there by unroofing the premises; but one of them being wounded by an home thrust through the thatch, they were obliged to decamp, after a vain attempt of upwards of two hours.-It was perceived that the man, who first attempted to enter, had his face blackened, and it is supposed the villains expected to find a sum of money, the old lady having sold the house and a few acres of land adjoining, a few weeks since. In our last paper, we mentioned the wreck of the Lord Hill, Isle of Man smack, and the melancholy fate of the whole of the passsengers [sic] and crew. Among the passengers were-Major Paul CREBBIN, of the Royal Marines, and his servant; Mrs. CLUCAS, of Douglas, widow of the late Mr. T. CLUCAS, druggist, and her young son; Mr. John M'BRIDE, spirit merchant, of Douglas; Mr. CUNNINGHAM [Wm. CUNINGHAME in other papers], shopkeeper, of do.; Miss Jane ROBINSON, aged 17, of do; Daniel KNEALE, joiner, of do.; Mr. B. MILBURN, of Laxey; Mr. William FARRANT, of Peel; Messrs. John WALKER and S. TEARE [Sylvester TEARE in other papers], of Kirk German; Mr. R. CATS [Robert OATS or OATES in other papers], of Kirk St. Ann; Edward ROBERTS, a country lad; Jas. ROBINSON [ROBINS in other papers], a native of England; Mr. JONES and Mr. T. COMBERTH [Thomas CORNBERTH in other papers], flannel dealers, of Newtown, North Wales; a son and daughter of W. KNEALE, of Kirk Lonan, aged about 15 or 16; Mr. MERCER, owner of a sloop lately wrecked at Derby-haven, two seamen belonging to her, and two ship-carpenters who had gone to the island to repair her;-and the crew consisted of Mr. Richard THOMAS, the master; Daniel WATERSON, mate: and Robt. ROBERTS, Griffith WILLIAMS, and Robt. HOLMES, seamen.-Upwards of thirty children are rendered orphans by this deplorable catastrophe.
