Mr. Arthur Hoffman—I am a gentleman of no occupation, residing at the Villas by the Wood-Side, Aspley. On the afternoon of yesterday, the 2Ist, I was standing at my window when Mr. Russel! rode hastily past

hour

and calling tome that Mr. Swabey was lying in the wood, I went at once and

found him lying on his face. I raised his left arm, and it fell as if he were dead. Mr. Russell was just coming up again when I did this. I stayed with him until he was brought home. He neither spoke nor sighed.

By Mr. Whitman—He was on the bank side, not in the middle of the ride. He seemed to have fallen flat on his face.

Mr. George Russell, M. P., deposed—I am staying at Woburr. I knew the de- ceased well, and for many years. It was known to me from various sources that he was subject to fits, but was well in the intervals between them The last time I saw him was a week ago, when he was accompanied by Mrs. Swabey and a gentle- He was then

about fifteen or twenty minutes to three for Aspley Wood. Turning the corner of the Woburn ride [| noticed a dark object, seemingly kneeling for something, and two dogs by. I rode up to it, and recognised from the shape and make the person of Mr. Swabey, the deceased. He was probably juite dead; his ears were black. I rode as fast as I could towards the village, and met two boys, and sent them on to Mr. Veasey, and then went to the house servants.

By Mr. Whitman—I did not dismount when I first noticed the body, but rode as fast as I could for medical aid. I could do no good for apoplexy. I did not approach the body on my return, as it was sufficiently surrounied by the last witnees and others. A coal cart came by, and I fellowed the party to the house.

By the Cor: ncr—I never heard deceased was called Captain Swabey. He was a gentleman of independent meane,

By Mr. Whitman—A woman passed me before I first came up with the body. 1 observed her singularity. Sho must have wa'ked by the body.

Mr. Pickering said the woman referred to was one rather funny in her demeanor, and she wou'd hardly have observed any- thing in her path.

Mr. Henry Veasey, called, did not answer, and the Coroner was suggesting to dispense with the medical evidence, when that gentleman arrived. He said he had

ecn kept until the railway people pleased to open their gates, when the jury endorsed the continual inconvenience of the public at these gates, and remarked that it was time some action was taken in the matter. Mr. Veasey said that he was the family medical attendant. He had only been called in a few months ago for some emal] ailment. The Ceceased’s epileptic habits were the chief anxiety about two years ago, when they were threatening to be serious and likely to recur. He had seen him very lately about the village, appar. ently in his usual health, near his own house, the day before his death. On Friday (yesterday) he was sent for, and went instantly to Aspley Wood; deceased lay by the side of the Woburn Riding, on his right side. It would be difficult to say if life was quite extinct, but in attempting the usual methods of resuscitation there

was no response. He accompanied the body home. The cause of death was apoplexy.

By the Coroner—He never rallied in the least. I have thoroughly examined the body externally. There is not the slightest bruise or scratch, not even from the fall. He seemed to have carefully let himself gently down. I.do not think he could have been saved from the first. One sigh may have been produced, but the same state would have resumed itself without any con- sciulsness,

Verdict—‘‘Death from apoplexy.”’

The deceased gentleman was the son of the late Captain Swabey, formerly of Wavendon Hall. His father and mother are buried at Cranfield. Mr. Swabey was fifty-six last July. He was married at Aspley Church om the 26th August, 1869, to Miss Prickett, a niece of Mr. Carlisle Spedding Parker, J. P., of Aspley Guise. Mr, Swebey and Mr. Parker were, it is believed, both educated at the famous Aspley School, when conducted by the Rev. Richard Pain. Eight or nine children live to mourn the loss of an affectionate father. Mr. Swabey was much attached to Woburn Sands Church, and generally attended there every day, even so lately as the morning of his death, which was alluded to on Sunday morn ing jast, with much feeling, by the Rev. J. M. Hamilton, the present rector.

The funeral, conducted by Mr. George Whitman, assisted by Mr. Spring, both of Aspley, took place at Woburn Sands, on Wednesday afiernoon; the Rev. J. M. Hamilton, Rev Henry Burney, (Wavendon); the Rev. G, Wingate Pearce, (Walton); and the Rav. J. C. Malthy, of Aspley, officiat- ing. The coffin was of highly polished aak, and surmounted with crosses, and bore the following inseription;—

THOMAS SWABEY,

Born 27th July, 1827, Died St. Thomas’ Day, 1853.

‘Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.”
