Saturday 25 May 1844 (p. 2, col. 5) LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. ----- A MYSTERIOUS VISITOR.-On Wednesday last, a fine looking young man, a stranger, nearly in a state of nudity, was discovered wandering about in the neighbourhood of Trinity Church, Caldewgate, and as it was ascertained that he was insane he was handed over to the parish officers. By them he was sent off, in charge of an officer, to Dunstan Lodge, Newcastle, by railway. His hands and feet were bound, and as he was, as regarded clothing, in much the same situation, as when he was first seen in Caleewgate [sic], he was, as may be readily supposed, no very agreeable companion to the rest of the passengers, who, like Miss Tabitha BRAMBLE in Humphrey Clinker, felt their nerves a little discomposed by the too extensive exhibition of skin, though it was never so white. The officers had, we understand, attempted to "cover his nakedness," but could only succeed in getting a cloak thrown round him. This was an unpremeditated source of annoyance on the stranger's part, but he took means to make himself actively obnoxious, by voiding rheum, with unerring aim, in the faces and upon the habiliments of those seated near him. Disagreeable as this was, originating as it did with a madman, it certainly does not seem to have warranted the expedient adopted by the officers in charge of the stranger, to put an end to his annoyances, on the arrival of the train at the Milton station. He might have been removed to an empty carriage, and allowed to indulge his penchant for spitting there harmlessly; but instead of this, he was locked up in a dog box, of very small dimensions, and the train proceeded on its way. It had not been long in motion before he burst open the door of his prison house, and, while the train was travelling at a rapid rate, leaped out upon the road! He reached the ground, it would appear, without sustaining any injury, for when, after going about half a mile, the train put back to pick up what was supposed to be a dead man, he was found leaning against the hedge on the side of the railway, unhurt, and apparently unconcerned in anything going on around him! He was again placed in the train, and conveyed to Newcastle. He gave his name Andrew ROWLAND, and said he was a hatter from Cockermouth. His coat has since been found near Wigton, having in the pocket a hatters' ticket. INQUESTS.-An inquest was held before Mr. CARRICK, County Coroner, on Tuesday last, at Pedderhill, in the parish of Arthuret, on the body of John LAW, aged 43 years, a farm servant with Mr. JOHNSTON, of that place. The deceased was carting manure and sitting on the fore-end of the cart, when something caused the mare to throw up and kick, by which he received a mortal injury on the lower part of his body, producing mortification of the parts, of which he died five days after the accident. Verdict, accidental death-deodand 1s. LAW bore an excellent character, and had been a servant in Mr. JOHNSON's family for upwards of 30 years. He has left a wife and seven children.-At Brampton, on the same day, on the body of Miss DOBIE, of Rowantree Hill, in the parish of Lanercost. On Monday afternoon, the deceased left home to consult a medical gentleman, having been suffering from illness a considerable time. It was with much difficulty that she reached Brampton, and on her arrival she was quite exhausted. Mr. MOSES attended her, and found that she was labouring under all the symptoms of typhus fever, considerably aggravated by the cold and exertions to which she had exposed herself. She was put to bed in a friend's house in the inn. Up to eleven o'clock no material change was observed, but when the household awoke next morning, she was discovered to be dead. Verdict, "Typhus Fever, aggravated by exposure to cold and too violent exertion."-At How, in the parish of Hayton, on Monday last, on the body of Mr. Joseph MILBURN, yeoman, who committed suicide on the preceding day, by hanging himself in his barn. Clear evidence of his insanity was given, and the jury returned their verdict accordingly.
