Tavistock - An inquest was held on Tuesday at Upaton, before A. B. Bone, Esq. coroner on Thomas Glanville, aged 18 years. He met with his death while ploughing a field alone, where he was driving the horses, and hold the plough at the same time. Some miners, a few years since, left a shoad pit open, and the horses being near it, by some means fell it. Granville, no doubt, endeavoured to get the horses out. There was a mark of a blow on his forehead, perhaps given him by one of the horses, which may have stunned him. He was found lying under one of the horses in the pit quite dead, and must have remained in that position two hours. His absence was not observed until the family expected him to dinner, when a girl was sent to call him, and found him in the situation described. She gave alarm, and the body was soon removed. The horses were taken out unhurt.
