Yesterday an inquest was ...
Yestertlay an inquest was held before Thomas Shelton, Esg., at White-cross-street prison, upon the bodv of David Tho- mnas, a man aboout 40 yeats of age, who came by his death in conse. quence of bursting a blood-vessd on Monday last. It appeared thc adceased waw a most eccentric character, having been for upwards of three years and a half confined in that prison for the sum of 171., although it had been clearly ascertained he had changed several 201. notes during that period. Such was this extraordinary man's pro. pensity for avarice, that he nor only denied himself the common necessaries of life, but cautiously avoided flog nnv cue b'v hich his connexions might be known. He coud have obtained his dis- charge rcpeatedly, but ke preferred even the sick-ward of that prison t open atr; and it further appeared, that under the compulsory clause in the Insolvents' Act, he would have been discharged (even cotrary to his inclination) n.ext term. After the examination of witnesses, the jury retured a verdict_" Died bv the visitation of God."
