An inquest was held on Friday, at Totley, by Mr. J. Hutchinson, coroner for the hundred of Scarsdale, on the body of Wm. Hadfield, of Sheffield, who died in the mailcoach going from Manchester to Sheffield. It appeared, the deceased had been at Buxton some time, for the benefit of his health, which place he left for Sheffield on Thursday forenoon. Two gentlemen were travelling in the inside the coach to Sheffield, and when a few miles from Totley, the deceased asked the gentlemen how many miles it was from Sheffield, and having been told the distance, reclined his head against the side of the coach; the gentlemen supposed he had fallen asleep, but on arriving at Totley, it was discovered that life had ceased to exist. Verdict, died by the visitation of God.
