Glocester, May 5. We hear from the parish of St. Nicholas,
near Cardiffe in Glamorganshire, that one Morgan, a farmer,
who married a widow of substance, and has since behaved very
barbarously to her, turn'd her and her children out of
doors, and lived in a riotous manner on her fortune, was on
the 15th past, in the midst of his jollity, at the Three
Tuns in the said parish, struck seemingly dead, insomuch
that he was laid out, a platter with rosemary and a lighted
candle placed upon his body (according to the custom of the
country) and the bell tolled for him an hour, when he
revived, to the great grief and astonishment of the mourners
and spectators.
