Inquest.

On Wednesday last and inquisition was taken at the "Bull Inn," Rolvenden, before James Ottaway, Esq., Coroner, on view of the body of Jeremiah Gladish, servants to Mr. White, a farmer in that parish. It appeared that the deceased and his mate were, on the Monday preceding, sent with their master's team to Maythan, for a carriage of lime, and observing another team a little before then, they proposed passing it, in order to get to the kiln first; in this attempt the deceased fell down, while the horses were running at a great price, and the wheels of the wagon unfortunately going over his head, killing him on the spot.

Verdict Accidental Death, and a deodand of 40s. which the Coroner recommended the master to deduct from the wages of the other servant, as some punishment for his improper conduct.

ROLVENDEN. Hop Sweepstakes.

On Monday week the annual hop dinner took place at the "Bull Inn," and was well attended. Mr. R. Dunk, of Sandhurst, was declared the winner of last year's sweep, his set being £80,500. The betting for the present year was decidedly against £200,000, and in many instances £195,000, although the general opinion expressed was, that the hops in this neighbourhood never looked better.
