On Thursday last the Coroner's inquest sat on the body of Sarah TITTER, who was that morning about seven o'clock found dead in the public street near St Stephen's Gates. -- It appeared in the course of the evidence, that the deceased was discovered by St Peter's watch in the Haymarket, about a quarter before twelve o'clock on the Wednesday evening, very much intoxicated; that she requested the watch to lead her home to her house near St Stephen's Gates; that one of them took her in charge, and delivered her to the care of the St Stephen's watch, who at that time were drinking at the Nag's Head; that the St Stephen's watch, though, requested to take proper care of her, very inhumanly left her at Mr SLATER's corner; that she received several falls and bruises, and laid and expired in the street.

On Tuesday last was married at Holt, Mr Charles SALES, grocer and draper, to Miss LEGGE, daughter of the late Mr Stephen LEGGE, Surgeon, of that place.

Last week died, at Fransham, Mr CASE [name might be CAFE], of that place.

On Tuesday last died, in the 49th year of her, Mrs Elizabeth BRANTHWAY, whose extensive benevolence, blended with all the other virtues, will render her memory to be most sincerely lamented by all those who had the happiness to possess her friendship and acquaintance. Among other charitable donations, she has left 50 pounds to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital; 50 pounds to the Clergymen's widows, and the same to the charity schools.
