, THE ACCIDEN C IN EXETER-STREET. raT4 l l ll t": Yesterday the Adjnnrned Nue t was held upon VT bodies of the persons killed by the faliing.o s f the houses in Exeter-street. Mr.. Roche complained of a statement made by Mr. Corder, which produced some observations in reply. • GeOrge Heath re•ides in Exeter-street; has been a fireman in the Phoenix Company 26 years; understands the natute of buildings. In July last saw a hoard upon the hawse, Int merly the Blackainoor's Head. to let the premise,; went and looked at them; Stokes was the,' living on the premises; they were in a most dilapidated state, and witness told Stokes they were not safe. There was a reference on the board to Mr. Bell, of Orford street. who war agent for Meux and Co. Mr. Bell said the firm wished to let the two houses together, fr the unexpired term of their lease, five years and a half. at 601. a year. Witness offered 801. and to layout 1001. in repairs. CORONER—Do you swear that the premises were at that time unsafe?—Witness. I do; but if I bad taken them, I would have made them secure; I told Mr. Bell at the time I thought them unsafe. Abraham Attiwell went after the premises six weeks ago; applied at Mr. Bell's office; was informed by a clerk that Messrs. Meux and Co. expected 8001. for the lease; witness afterwards law. Mr. Hands and . Mr. La tham at the brewhouse; they asked him what he would give for the lease; he said a or 101. at most; witness added, the premises would tumble down shortly unless they were taken down; if the houses had been properly attended to, they a ould not have fallen ; witness told Mr. Roche what state the houses were in; by the advice of Mr. Roche, witness went to Mr. Head, the agent rf the Marquis of Exetet, and he told witness that the houses were so old th.t the Marquis wonkhoot grant any fresh lease,. Mr. Walford, Solicitor to the Marquis, begged the attention of the Jury to this fact, as tending to exonerate ,his noble employer from ,blame. Mr. Stunt, clerk to Messrs. Langford and Walford, solicitors to the Exeter estate, deposed, that from Lady day, 1821, until Lady-day, 1828. he received tent for the houses 4, and 5, Exeter street, from the Messrs. 'Mein. He never saw the. interior of the premises; but from what he saw of the eit"eiior, he deemed it prudent to let Mr.. land'and Latham know that the houses were in a very Lad state. ' Mr. Latham deposed, that about the year 1820, the foremast of Meux and Co. lent to Chamberlain 7501. to go into the house No. 5, Exeter-street. It was then a respectable public-house, in good business. As a security for the suns, the firm took the deeds, lease, assignments, fee. under a warrant of attorney. About a year and a half ago the license was taken away. They had endear 'vowed up to that time, but in vain. to get a renewal of the license, that we might dispose of it. The firm had also lent Chamberlain's predecessor, a person named In'hittington, some money on account of his interest. In reply to a Jutor, Mr. L. observed, that he never was personally informed of the premises being in a,di lapidated condition, except by Mr. Attiwell, who being . in treaty for the premises, was rather a .questionable authority. John Shaw, Esq. Surveyor—l surveyed the premises :fifteen years ago: I pointed out certain repairs. that I `considered necessary to be done at the time ) and they were all , perfected previous to my certifying for the granting of the lease. I was then of opinion that the premises were caledlated to stand 21 years wilbihe usual eepairs in the teem timed Elizabeth. Stokes, the daughter of Jaretes•Stokes, de. posed, that she, her father, mother, and two bre.thers, were living in the-house No. 5. She remembered the house falling, but recollected nothing afterwards until she was taken from the ruins. Mr. Wrench, the comedian, 'deposed, that he was passing just at the time the houses fell. He.was much agitated at the time; he however recollected seeing two figures, one of whom he supposed to be the unfortunate eatter..who was crushed beneath the ruins. His escape ivas most roiraculoi s. . Mr. Bell, of Oxford-street, was not sworn. but denied the facts relative to the premises. The swords on the board were, n These premises to be disposed of," nut to "lei on a building lease," as had been stated. James Stokes was sworn; but them was nothing new in hieevidence from that already given. After some bickering between Mr. Corder and Mr. Roche, the Coroner summed up the evidence. Some further 'conversation then took place of trifling. import, and the Jury consulted for about half an hour, and returned the following verdict—" That the deceased Elizabeth Stokes and Francis Stokes died from the two bosses, Nos. 4 and 5,- Exeter -street, having fallen, occa sioned by the want of repairs. and that the materials of, thechouses so fallen were movies' to the respective deaths of the said Elizabeth and Francis Stokes; and that the laid .materials are in the possession of Messrs. Maui . sad Co. aforesaid, and'of their Assigns." - The adjourned Inquest on the body of Neaves, the carman, was held at the White Hart, and the following verdict Rini by the St. Martio's Jury, viz.—" Acci dental Death, caned by the falling of the two houses ; and further, that culpable neglect is attached to the Parish Officers belonging to St. Paul, Covent Garden, in not surveying and enforcing the thorough repair of the said premises, which have been in a very dilapidated state. for many years past, and held by Messrs. Meux and Co. and that the materials of the said houses fallen were moving to tbe,death of the said Names, and that the same are of the value of 501. and in the possession af Henry Meux and Co. or their assigns. 'his verdict, in law. makes the whole of the materialsi forfeit to the Crown, in the nature of a deodand. t Yesterday morning, James Christie, a waterman, perceived something floating on the water, pear the New Custom Howe Stmts. He, wish assistance, biought it cm shore, and it proved to be : the body of on eider?, man, which was carried. to the WO, These was , an extensive wound on the top of the * head ri the des., ceased, and a task as it he had received a blow on the nose.

Wye:Jar an accident of a wimp description oc cursed to a young man. servant to Mr. Berke, horse. stealer, •in !Mary-la c bgnne-stieet. It appears .he was riding in a chaise with his f rlster, ,but unfortunately fcir him his master alighted, to Caarler:tett, Ltii.ester/ square, and the young man isrittted 4he horse, which itfsta4ly took light, :end came in contact withn post at thr i Coinc, of Bear-street ; he WAS thrown out of the chaise pi), the pa.ement. and his skull fractured in a dreadful manner. He was conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital,, where he died pon after his arrival. tatiday evening, whilst Mr, Thomas Horner, of Mop. *too, neat Keighley, Yokshire, was attending the service, -at the Pr unitive Methodist Chapel at that place, : some perkop forced an entrance into his dwelbophoose, -tiroegh one of the windows, and passed through the lower' rooms up stairs into his lodging roosts, broke -open a drawer, and stole theme' 4001. in, promissory notes, and 1021. in 51. notes and sovereigns.

Na fewer than n ee hitendred end fifty watermen were summoned to attend befogs the Chairman (Mr. DainZAl.o), and others I fib* Eulere a to answer to various charges. Shme were accused of having refused to act upon V.* regulations for t. taking ,timis" to and from the steam vessels, by which vitaatioa the public, were exposed to danger and inconvenience. Others were charged with lining been abusive and ie. soknt to passengers; and many were charged with h av t ing demanded more than their fare. The CHAISMAII stated that it was the firm deic in g. nation of,the Company to animal all the rules sod re . Rubino - ins which had been instituted for the w a d, et the public is general, and of the watermen inn ptiocal art Tim changes which had recently been made ante likely to produce the utmost benefit; and the watermea the m , sehre, had approved of them, as calculated to 'mecu m * ,body. For the sake, therefore. of the majority of t h e watermen, as well as of the public, it was necessary th at penalties should invariably follow, upon the roof a t a complaint. . The one hundred and fifty watermen were *ma i m, but two or three exceptions, all fined in different pen a l. ties, and assured at the same time that the repetition if offence would at least double the present fine in every instance of int t ingement. . It was evident that the defendants were more deeply impressed with the necessity of observing the table of rules and regulations from tins admonition, and the in. fliciicto of these penalties, than they have been upon my former occasion.
