TOFT  MONKS
A Sad And Fatal Accident occurred to Robert ALDRED, a young man about 19
years of age, in the service of Mr COLMAN, of "The Elms," here. On Tuesday
last [12 February] he was sent with two horses and a waggon to Covehithe for
seed, and when returning and passing  through the hamlet of Hulver, it is
supposed he made an attempt to gain the shaft of the waggon, missed his
hold, and fell, the wheel passing over him causing instant death. He was at
once removed to the Gate Inn, where an inquest was held on Thursday, before
B.L. GROSS, Esq., county coroner, and the jury returned a verdict of
"accidental death." The deceased was a remarkably  steady, well conducted
young man, and his untimely end is lamented by all who knew him.

EPITOME OF NORFOLK NEWS
    An extraordinary occurrence has happened at Norwich in the death of
Capt. LEYTON, a retired naval officer, whose body was discovered at his
residence, Unthank's -road [sic] , on Thursday morning, after lying dead
about six weeks. It appears that the deceased's housekeeper left him at
Christmas, since which time the house has been closed. Although the captain
had been missed, suspicion was not excited until Thursday morning, when a
gentleman residing on Unthank's-road waited upon the magistrates, and upon
the information which he gave them the police were instructed to search the
house. Under the direction of the Chief Constable, a police-officer broke
open a window at the back of the premises, and having thus obtained an
entry, he made his way upstairs, and found the deceased lying in his
bedroom. From the appearance of the body, there can be no doubt that several
weeks have elapsed since the deceased's death, and this opinion is
strengthened by the fact that he has not been seen by any of his friends and
neighbours since the 24th December, It is understood that the deceased, some
months since, while walking in St Gile's, Norwich, caught his foot in a
lady's crinoline, and being thrown down sustained an internal rupture.
Securities for money to a large amount were found in the house of the
deceased, who, nevertheless, perished miserably, and entirely forsaken by
his fellow-creatures [sic].
