"WINDSOR.
[FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.]
CORONER'S INQUEST.--On Friday last, an inquest wa[sic] held at Maroota, before Mr. J. B. Johnston and a jury, on the body of a man unknown, who was found dead in the bush, on the previous day, by a drover named Bocock. Bocock, it appears, was riding from Windsor to Wiseman's Ferry, when his dogs turned off the road into the bush, and he followed them ; he discovered, a short distance from the road, the dead body: he did not know the deceased, nor any thing about him. The deceased appeared to have been dead some days ; he had in his pocket several pawntickets, numbered 7210, 148, 7687, and 240. The jury found that there was no evidence to show how deceased came by his death, but were of opinion that it was caused by exposure to the sun."

"NEWCASTLE.
(From the Chronicle of Thursday.)...
SUDDEN DEATH IN THE BUSH NEAR WISEMANS FERRY. --On the 18th ultimo it was reported to the police that the body of a man had been found lying in the bush at Maroota, of which the following was the description given :- In height he was about five feet eight inches, his build was stout, his hair black, and his clothing consisted in a black cloth coat and trousers, he had on blucher boots, and a drab Californian hat. At the inquest there were produced certain pawn-tickets for goods pledged in different names and at different times, with Mr Bonarius, of Newcastle, but nothing to lead to identification. From inquiries made at Newcastle subsequent to the holding of the inquest, there would appear to be but little doubt that the unfortunate deceased was a compositor of the name of Thomas McFarlane, who was lately employed on this journal and also on the Pîlot, but was discharged from both on account of intemperate habits. The verdict was an open one, no evidence having been adduced to show how the deceased came by his death, but the jury were of opinion that it had arisen from exposure to the sun."
