New Romney.

We regret to announce the death of Mr. Holmes, for many years landlord of the "Ship Inn," Dymchurch, which was occasioned by the accident reported in our last. It appears that he was returning from Ashford fair, the horse shied at something in the road, and stopping suddenly he was jerked out of his cart, the wheels of which passed over him and fractured his spine. He lingered until Friday last, when death put an end to his sufferings. The deceased was in his 65th year.

Caution to Servants.

A short time since, three boxes of wearing apparel were left at the "Ship Inn," New Romney, by the Tenterden carrier, to be forwarded by another conveyance as directed; but when the boxes were wanted, they could not be found, and from certain circumstances suspicion fell upon the female servant. The policeman was sent for, and the boxes were found in her bedroom, the contents of which she had partly abstracted and applied to her own use. On being taken into custody, she contrived to make her escape, without bonnet or shawl, and in this this state waded through the mud to the house of her parents about seven miles distance, in the dead of the night. In the morning, Williamson, the policeman, was sent after her, and found her at their house, with more of the stolen property. The girl with the goods, was then taken back to Romney, and put undercharge of the gaoler, to await her examination. During this interval it was discovered that the landlord of the house had also been robbed; again the policeman went to the parents’ house, and there found sundry missing articles; the father of the girl was then conveyed to Romney, on suspicion of knowingly receiving this portion of the stolen property. On Saturday they both underwent a long examination and were ultimately committed for trial. Let this prove a warning to all servants. What trouble this silly girl has brought on herself and aged parents by her misconduct!
