Early on Monday morning last, the kitchen of the "New Inn," at Sandgate was broken open, and four great coats and a pair of boots stolen therefrom. The robber effected his entrance by the kitchen window, near which he substituted the boots for a pair of old shoes which he left behind him, and which early in the morning were identified as belonging to a man named Henry Hunt, who had been employed harvesting in the neighbourhood, and who was shortly after apprehended at a public-house in the neighbourhood; after an examination before the Rev. James Croft, clerk, he was committed to Saint Augstine's Gaol, Canterbury.

SANDGATE. Coroner’s Inquest.

On Thursday, the 27th ultimo, a coroner’s inquest was held at the "New Inn" here, by Mr. Delasaux and a respectable jury, on view of the body of John Bowers, a boy of nine years of age, son of William Bowers, a military pensioner residing at Seabrook, near this place, whose death it was alleged was either occasioned or accelerated by an over severe beating, inflicted on him some weeks ago by the master of the national school at Sandgate.

Mr. Watts, solicitor, of Hythe, attended to watch the proceedings on behalf of the master. Three boys, schoolfellows of the deceased, and his father, were heard in evidence touching the case, as were also three medical gentlemen, who made a post mortem examination of the body, when, after a careful and patient investigation of about five hours' duration, the jury returned a verdict of "Natural death."

We have pleasure in being able to add, in justice to the master, that there did not appear a particle of evidence to connect the death of the boy with the chastisement he received at school, nor the slightest ground for inquiry beyond what mere prejudice and idle rumour gave rise to. The result of the investigation in question has been hailed with very general demonstrations of public approbation.
