Notwithstanding the quietude of almost all kinds of business there is a full inquiry for discounts. But this is chiefly attributable - to the securities due to day, the 4th of the month. Full rates are charged in the open market, and the consequence is that the inquiries at the Bank of England are rather heavy. Payments are still in progress for new companies to Which the public so liberally subscribed. The weekly return published this morning by the Bank of England is unsatisfactory. The reserves of the establishment have been further diminished, and the private deposits also show a large reduc tion. The following are the particulars Active Circulatiot , ... £22, 646,330 574;760 14,457,648 . 46,031 3,508,814 Increase ••• ••• ••• ..• 28,004 Public Deposits 5,214,377 Increase ••• ••• .• 443,475 Other Deposits 14,681,727 Decrease 1,258,087 Seven Day and Other Bills ... 557,427 Increase ..• ••• ••• ••• 38,743 Government Securities 10,384,209 Decrease 14,700 Other Securities 21,669,818 circulation Increase Bullion Decrease Rest Decrease Notes Unemployed Decrease 112,373 5,607,475 574,005 The alterations in the Bank of France returns Published this morning are unfavourable. The bills discounted have been augmented £720,000, while the bullion has been decreased £40,000, and the notes in circulation £B,OOO. The advances on stock have also been lessened £B,OOO, but the rrea sluy balance has been increased £50,000, and the current accounts £792,000. The report of the European Bank to be presented on the 7th inst. shows an available total of £29,685, and recommends an interim dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, and that £3,200 should be written off premises and preliminary expense ac counts, leaving £10,104 to be carried forward. The report of the London and Glasgow Engineer ing and Iron Shipbuilding Company, to be pre sented on Thursday next, for the 15 months since the commencement of business, shows, after deduct ing the interim dividend in February at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and £l,OOO from preliminary expenses, a balance of £4,813, out of which a divi dend and bonus at the rate of about 10 per cent. Per annum are recommended, leaving £1,617 to be carried forward. The directors of the St. John d'El Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received the following report, dated Morro Volho, Ist July, .1865: Produce, 11 days of June, 2d division, 11,595 oitavas ; yield, 6,476 oitavas per ton. The produce during this period has been unfavourably affected by the imperfect action of the pumps, impeding the Sinking, and also by the occurrence of three holi days, during which the native borers did not work. Amongst the many new companies that have been placed before the public none possesses greater attraction than that of the Menai Park and-Hotel Company, the object being to purchase the freehold estate of the North-Western Company on the edge of the Menai Straits, in Carnarvonshire, and to de vote a great portion of it to the purposes of a first class hotel, with appropriate baths, gardens, and pleasure-grounds ; also for taking a lease for a long term of the refreshment-rooms to be erected by the railway company at their Menai-bridge station, and to manage them in connection with the pro posed hotel. To meet the views of the directors of the new company the directors of the North-Wes tern have undertaken to improve the Menai Station and -maintain it in the first class, at which four fifths of all passenger trains will stop. Taking the picturesque features of Carnarvonshire with its in vigorating climate into consideration, the one great want to make it the resort of the thousands of tourists was that which the new company propose to supply, viz., a large, commodious, and comfort able hotel. The whole of the estate, which amounts to about 80 acres, not being required for the hotel, gardens, and bathing places, the directors wisely intend to devote a portion of it to building purposes, as the demand for private residences in that favoured locality has long been a matter of notoriety. Tak ing a comprehensive view of the new scheme, it seems calculated to prove one of the best specula tions put forward during the last few months. The second half-yearly meeting of the Oriental Pinancial Corporation was held to-day. The re- Port stated that against the item of £191,570, Uncle, the head of advances on securities, the Cor- Poration holds collateral security of the nomi nal value of £333,585, also that it has been deemed advisable to write off a farther amount of £l,OOO from the preliminary expenses, "educing the amount to the credit of profit and loss on. the 30th June to £11,372. The directors do not recommend an ad interim dividend for the last half- Year, unless de-iired by the shareholders. Since the report was printed the directors state they are in a Position to lay before the members a proposed anaalgamation with another company, for which Purpose a meeting is called. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has been rather I nactive. The public sales of tea have concluded, and in some instances prices have been a shade lower. Sugars have barely sustained former rates, W hile coffee, although in fair request, has been rather cheaper. The demand for rice has improved, but the enhanced rates demanded by holders has e nded t o c h ec k b us i ness. T a ll ow h a s remained in !air demand at steady prices for both present and f orward delivery. At the Two o'CLocK. Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Renter were 67f. 95c. Heavy. The prices of English Stock showed a very ad verse tendency during the earlier hours of business. The unfavourable returns published by the Banks of England and France occasioned a decline in the funds of per cent. This movement induced buyers to come forward, and the consequence was a full recovery, Consols now being 891 s for money and account, and 90 s for September.

On the 28th ult. the woman was confined with her eighth child. She was attended by a properly certified army nurse, but a difficulty arising which necessitated the attendance of a medical man, her husband was to seek one. Applying first at the Female Hospital, he did not succeed in obtain ing the aid required ; he then went to the General Hos pital, but here Dr. White, who was on duty, being ppre vented, under military regulations, from leaving the hos pital, could not himself render assistance. He referred the sergeant to Dr. Fletcher, the surgeon off duty. To him the husband went. The doctor was at mess, and he declined to attend, reco mmending the applicant to obtain other assistance. Then Sergeant Cockland applied to Dr. Prater, of Woolwich, who, ignoring any conflict of duty with the military duties under the circumstances, went immediately. But he found that the infant had been born for some hours, and the mother lay suffering for want of medical attention. She expired ten minutes after the doctor's arrival, during an operation which he found it necessary to perform. The immediate cause of death was apoplexy from cerebral con gestion. Dr. Fletcher was ordered under arrest, pending the coroner's inquest. The jury recorded the subjoined verdict :—" We find that Mary Ann Cockland died from apoplexy, brought on by the want of necessary medical attention in her confinement, and consider Dr. Fletcher severely censurable in not attending when requested." THE COBDEN MEMORIAL.—The fund for erecting a metropolitan memorial to the late Mr. Cobden progresses but slowly. A good site has been granted by the St. Pan cras vestry at the entrance to Camden-town; but the sub scriptions at present received amount to only £250. , rHE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1865. 100 'OO 100 100 IGO 100 10 10 100 ISIONS. 57 0 1011 1021 if 41 ei 941 99 101 70 75 100 102 1011 102 i 114 104 18 19 90 65 66 55 60 57 is 50 52 45 44 40 44 26 1.8 25 27 102} 1031 P SECUR 96 98 99 101 94 100 b3} 8t 82 94 101 103 105 107 106 108 108 110 102 104 108 110 102 104 104 106 106 108 102 101 95 97 9) 101 93 95 10 91 102 104 83 86 98 100 100 102 105 107 471* 641 5 119 k f 20 93 122 k II I 100 134 5 E 41 51 130 1( I i g I icc 11041 INES. 1101 i 11 4 GA; 104 i 122 14 584 SU 2 1021 2 61 1011 1031 3 151 26t 25} 103 i 3 1021 100 I ITIES. 961 71 84 4 1011 2 LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OP BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE MANOR BROWNE-A WINNER ON THE DERBY. This bankrupt was described as a major in the 69th Regiment, and to-day was appointed for the order of dis charge. There has been an attempt to effect a settlement under a deed of composition, creditors to the extent of £2,880 having assented. One of the creditors has filed an affidavit setting forth that the bankrupt was a winner of £2,500 on the last Derby, he having backed Gladiateur for a large sum. It is anticipated that eventually the case will be settled. (Before Mr. Registrar Brougham.) RE REV. JOSIIITA FINLINSON. This bankrupt was described as of Brockley Rectory, Suffolk, clerk in holy orders,•and to-day was appointed for proof of debts. The debts are not very heavy, and the cause of the bankruptcy is said to be pressure by creditors, in consequence of which the bankrupt has been obliged to resign the position he held as rector of Broaden which was worth £5OO per annum. Debts to the extent of about £350 are on the file. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SAD STORY.—Eliza Adams, a married woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a blanket and other articles, the property of her landlord, Mr. Emery, 53, King street, Soho. The prosecutor proved that the prisoner and her hus band lodged in private rooms belonging to him, and that he missed a blanket and other articles. The articles were produced py two pawnbrokers, who stated that the prisoner pledged them. The prosecutor said he was sorry for the prisoner's hus band, who was a respectable, hardworking man, and who, as well as his boy, took home all their earnings, which the prisoner spent in drink. The husband stepped forward, and, evidently much affected, said ho had done all ho could for his wife. He never went into a publichouse, and yet his wife said she had pledged the things for food for the children. About 12 months ago he was charged at that court with striking his wife, and committed for a month, but after the magis trate (Mr. Tyrwhitt) hoard his character from his employer he at once liberated him. A short time before he had come home from service on board a nian-of-war, and although all the time he was away he sent his wife his half-pay regu larly, he found her sitting in a coffee shop, having no place to go to. He had made his wife seven or eight homes, but she drank them all away, and for the last four nights they had had nothing to cover them. Mr. Knox said it was a shocking story to hear, and he felt that the best thing he could do for the husband would be to send the prisoner away for such a term as would possibly cure her. The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, was committed for lree months with hard labour. We have been requested to state that no person of the name of Henry Edwards, the name of a young man charged with disorderly conduct at this court a few days since, resides at No. 14, Harrington-street, Hampstead-road. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON CLUB RACES.-THURSDAY. To-day's programme, an extensive one on paper, did not promise much in the shape of sport. Small and uninterest ing fields, some of them affording an opportunity for gen tlemen jockeys to figure in the pigskin, is about the gene ral form of the Club to-day. The Seventh Biennial was ono of the hollowest wins for Stoneham we have seen for some time, and the Brighton Club Stakes resulted in a great upset of the favourite, Arkansas, by Flying Horse. Paris, after losing his match with Musketeer, won the 5 soya Sweepstakes cleverly, after a good race with Lucky Star, the favourite, Miss Harriette, being never in theme. Another favourite, Ambition, met with defeat in the 100 soy Plate, Mr. Craven's Panacea winning all the way. The day was a severe one to backers of favourites throughout, scarcely one winning. The rest of the sport was not of a nature to call for any remark, a long afternoon's racing, commencing at 12 30 and terminating near 6 o'clock, being of a nature to fatigue more than interest the spectators. Match—T.Y.c.; 50 sovs, h ft. Capt.

They cantered away from the post under waiting orders, Flying Horse being followed by the favourite, at whose girths was Raglan. With no material alteration they pro ceeded to the turn into the old course, when the pace mended. Descending the hill Arkansas drew up to the leader, followed by Mr. Morris's colt, but without having a chance of reaching the leader, who won very cleverly by a neck. Throe lengths separated the second and third. A Sweepstakes of 5 Boys each, with 100 added, for 2-yr olds and upward. Weight for age.

The Clyde, after they had proceeded a few strides, then assumed the com mand, lying next the rails, followed by Miss Harriette and Sylph, and on their right came Paris and Lucky Star. They ran thus to the distance, when Miss Harriette and Sylph dropped back, and Paris, with Lucky Star on his whip hand, then joined the leader at the stand, when Paris shortly after obtained a slight advantage, and won a close race by a neck, Lucky Star defeating The Clyde Whale bone was fourth, and Sylph fifth, Goldlylocks and Miss Harriette were the last.

At the third attempt Katie made play close up, with whom came Panacea, the favourite, and Sister to Amber, the Postulant colt, King Christian, and May Queen lying close in their rear. On reaching the distance the leader was beaten, when Mr. Craven's filly at once assumed the lead, which she retained to the end, and won in a canter. Katie, who came in second three lengths in his rear, fell after passing the post, and dismounting Grimshaw bolted towards the town, and in consequence was disqualified. Sister to Amber then became third, Ambition fourth, and the Postulant colt next. The Brighton Club Plato of 50 sous, for 2-yr-old; 7st 71b ; and, 3-yr-olds, 9st 31b, with maiden and selling allowances ; the winner to be sold. Last half-mile. Capt.

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A TRADESMAN.—S. Neller, a Custom-house officer, was charged with a violent assault on a tradesman of the name of Walker, in business as a grocer in the Fulham-road. The defendant, previous to evidence being taken, stated that he admitted he was wrong in assaulting complainant, and stated that he was very much exasperated at the lan guage of the complainant. The Magistrate observed that he must hear the case, and called upon the complainant for his evidence. The evidence showed that a few days ago the complainant was in his shop when the defendant came in to pay a bill. Some words took place about family matters, in the course of which the complainant made use of expressions which excited the feelings of the defendant, who gave him a severe blow on his mouth with his clenched fist. The prisoner remarked that he was very sorry he had struck him, but he was very much excited at the words used by the complainant, or he would not havo struck him. The magistrate observed that it was very wrong to strike a person in his own shop. The prisoner was fined 405., or in default one month's imprisonment. The fine was paid. 2.1.0 2.14. 3.4.1 2.7. 2.13.6 0 9.10.6 601 all 1.1.0 40 7.8.3 8.13 4.18.0 4.3.6 372 4.2.0 2.8.0 7.1.6 '10.7 '18.1§.91 30.17.6 474 5i 10 3.12.8 THAMES. DARING ROBBERY ON THE RlVER.—Charles Howell, aged 20, Bobert Hunter, alias Tundrow, 18, labourers, and George Howell, 19, described as a waterman, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 3 bags of sugar, each weighing three-quarters of a cwt., from a barge on the river Thames. This morning, at four o'clock, a police-constable named John Fenge, No. 405 K, was passing along High-street, Wapping, opposite the entrance of the Thames Tunnel, and saw the three persons at Wapping Dock Stairs ad joining, in the act of landing a bag of sugar from a boat. They hauled the sugar up on the plying place, and upon seeing the constable dropped it and ran away. As they were crossing the street, Tundrow, who was also called Hunter, dropped a bag in the middle of the street. There were the remains of sugar in it, and there was no doubt, from its general appearance inside, that it had been used in the conveyance of sugar. A search was made under the steps of the plying place of Wapping dock stairs, and two more bags of sugar were found concealed beneath. They were of the same size and weight as the bag of sugar the prisoners wore handling when first seen by the police-constable. The prisoners were arrested in the course of the morning by Ralph Field Thomas, an inspector of the Thames police, and other offi cers, at their own homes. There was a barge laden with sugar moored nearly off the London dock entrance, at Wapping. The tarpaulin, covering the cargo, had been raised, and several bags of sugar removed. Mr. Harrison, foreman lighterman, said the three bags of sugar produced were stolen from the barge Chub. He could not tell the exact number stolen till the cargo was delivered and tallied. The prisoners were remanded for a week. AN OLD THIEF CONVICTED.—AIIII Wills, a middle-aged woman, was brought up on remand charged with stealing a pair of trousers from outside the shop of Mrs. Purser, pawnbroker and dealer in new and secondhand goods, in Limehouse. Augustus Down, shopman to the Prosecutrix, said that he saw the prisoner remove a pair of corduroy trousers from a pile in front of the shop, put them under her apron, and walk away with them. Ho followed her and took the trousers from her. She said sho intended to buy them. She had passed the. shop door. The prisoner, who had given a fictitious name and address, said that she was guilty. It was her first, her only offence —she was starving. *- I :artridg--Afo yo ark not, you go in good ,con dition, and am Ipiito sur4 you rc an old thief.

The following telegram has been received by Reuter's Telegram Company (Limited), from R. A Glais, Esq., Managing Director of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company : " VALENTIA, Friday, 11.30 a.m. (t Same report as yesterday evening." LIVERPOOL, Aug. 3. There has been much anxiety evinced to-day in consequence of what is considered by some a mishap to the Atlantic Telegraph cable, as no intelligence has been received from the Great Eastern from the forenoon of yesterday up to this afternoon. The latest telegram posted in the n ews - room t o -d ay, from Valentia, is to the following effect t, N o news had been received from the Great Eastern since yesterday morning. The insulation is imperfect." Some people who read this will probably jump at the conclusion that the cable is broken or strained. Nothing can be more erroneous. So long as there is the slightest insulation, no matter if the signals are imperfect, the cable is all right --at least, no serious mishap can have taken place. If the cable has been broken, the merest electrician could have at once detected the break. But it will be found that the arranged currents of electricity have been over come by the magnetic deflection of the earth—that is, the artificial currents have been overcome by the natural ones. It may be useful to know what has been stated about the laying of the cable, the distance run, time, &c., does not come all through the cable. Before the vessel sailed from Valentia there was a code agreed upon by which the faintest movements—one, two, or three—of the needle indicated as much as is contained in half-a dozen lines of type. However, those who are capable of judging assert that the present state of the atmo sphere favours the impression that nothing but the magnetic deflections of the earth interfere with the insulation in the cable. With regard to the land lines of telegraph, all last night and to-day there has been so much natural electricity flying about as to seriously interfere with the work of the different telegraph companies.

The prisoner walked to the scaffold with a firm step, and after the bolt was withdrawn ho seemed to die instantly. CONFLAGRATION IN WHITECHAPEL.—A fire broke out this morning in Blackwell's Cooperage Stores, Church lane, VVhitechapel, and for three hours it burned with un trollable fury. A large portion of the stores were totally 4 destroyed. The inhabitants in t he neighbourhood sus, tained great loss by the hasty removal of their goods. The following estimate may sery e to show the extent of the active industry yearly carried on in the depths of the Canadian forest. In 1863 about 27,000,000 cubic feet of timber was cut on the Ottawa and its tribu taries. No less than 25,000 men aro engaged in getting out' and manufacturing this timber for market. There are annua lly c onsumed 12,000 barrels of pork and 15,000 barrels of flour in the production of square timber. The horses devour 6,000 tons of bay and 275,000 bushels of oats. — Canadian paper. .. T _. _ - FOURTH EDITION SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 7 o'CLocK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day, LEWES RACES.-TIIIS DAY.

Mineral Statistics of the United Kingdom for 1864. The returns obtain edfromourmines and collieries by Mr. Robert Hunt, keeper of mining records in the Museum of Practical Geology, and published annually by her Majesty's Stationery-office, have just been completed. From the commercial value of those mineral statistics the necessity of the earliest possible publication of them has been strongly urged. We are informed that the most earnest efforts have been made to meet this desire. It has, however, been found impossible, to obtain the numerous returns from the mines at an earlier period than midsummer, owing tc) the circumstance that much of the ore which is raised in the last year is not prepared for the market until the end of the first six months in the present one. When it is remembered that those statistics, pre senting to us, as they do, the immense value of the mineral productions of these islands, are obtained without the exercise of any official authority—that they are communicated tc the Mining Record-office upon application to the owners of mines, collieries, and smelting works, as free-will offerings, it cannot but be admitted that they indicate the most liberal feelings on the part of those immediately concerned, and also bear evidence of the estimation in which this annual record is held. Of all the metalliferous mines the detailed production of each individual mine is given ; but the quantities of coal produced and of pig iron made are published in districts. It appears there is no hesitation on the part of the coalowners and ironmasters to furnish the keeper of mining records with the required information, but it is understood that the returns so supplied shall not be published. On this point Sir Roderick I. Murchison, who, as Director-General, introduced Mr. Robert Hunt's labours to the public, remarks in his " Notice" : " The production of British coal has now reached the enormous quantity of nearly 93,000,000 tons. The returns from the collieries have during this year been freely given, arid, doubtless, when it is known that these returns are treated as strictly confidential, and used only to compute the total production of each coalfield, they will always be readily communicated. By such means alone can accuracy be secured in these highly important national returns." We have been furnished with an early copy of this publication, from which we are enabled to give the following general abstract : " Coal.—There were at work during 1864 no less than 3,268 collieries in Great Britain and Ireland. In 1853 there appear to have been only 2,397. The quantityof coal raised, sold, and used during last year from all these works was 92,787,873 tons. The largest quantities were produced from the following coalfields : Tons. Durham and Northumberland 23,248,367 Scotland . 12,400,0J0 Lancashire . 11,5a0,000 Staffordshire and Worcestershire South Wales and Monmouthshire 10,976,500 Yorkshire 8,809,600 " There was an increase in our exportations of coal to foreign ports in 1864 of 524,208 tons, the quantity exported in 1863 being 8,275,212 tons against 8,800,420 tons in 1864. An extensive detailed table is given showing the ports to which this coal was sent in the several countries receiving it, and distinguishing the exportation from each coalfield. From the coalfields shipping coal the quantities sent to ports in the United Kingdom amounted to 10,588,132 tons in 1863, and in 1864 they had risen to 10,970,711 tons, the quantities of coal brought by railway and sea, within the London district, during the last three years, being as follows : Tons. 1862 1863 1864 "Iron.—The extension of our iron manufacture, and the increasing development of iron ore-producing districts is strikingly shown by these returns. Last year we obtained 10,064,890 tons of iron ore from our own rocks. Even this large quantity was insufficient for our wants, and we im ported 75,191 tons more. This was employed to feed 612 blast furnaces, which produced of pig iron— Tons. In England Wales 988,729 Scotland The total make of the kingdom being... 4,767,951 " Of pig iron we exported 465,951 tons ; all the rest was converted into merchant iron. This was effected at 127 iron works, where 6,262 puddling furnaces were in activity, and 718 rolling mills performing their herculean labours of producing bars and rails. "gold.—During 1864 this precious metal was obtained from five mines in Merionethshire ; 2,336 tons of auriferous quartz were crushed and treated by the amalgamating pro cesses. From this the adventurers obtained 2,387 ounces of gold, the value of which was £9,991. By an improye- Mont in the process of amtklgamp.tiopi the discovery of Mr. "Itilliam Crookee, F.R.S., the well-known discoverer of the new metal thalium, it is expeCted that the production of British gold will be considerably increased during the current year. " Tin.--The tin obtained from the mines of Cornwall and Devonshire in 1864 was certainly in excess of that ever before procured, although the tin mines and stream works of this our only staniferous district have been diligently worked for more than 200 years. 15,211 tons of tin oro were raised by the miners, the largest quantity from very deep mines. This produced of metallic tin 10,108 tons. Tho price of tin during 1864 was lower than it has been during any year since 1853, and more than.£l4 a ton below the price of 1859. The system of mining which prevails renders it imperative on the managers of mines to use every effort to satisfy the shareholders by the regular payment of divi dends, or, at all events, to prevent a depreciation in the value of the shares by avoiding "calls." To obtain this end tin ore has been raised, " dressed," and sold in an already glutted market at whatever price the smelter could offer. Hence the value of the ore sold, £925,969, which was up wards of £38,000 less than the money value of the block tin sold in 1863. " Copper.—From 192 mines in South-Western England and about 30 distributed over other parts of the United Kingdom 214,604 tons of copper ore, producing 12,302 tons 13cwt. of metallic copper, were obtained. In addition to this our smelters imported 67,283 tons of ore, 26,018 of copper regulus, 10,015 tons of bricks and pigs, and 14,924 tons of copper bars, &c., from our own colonies and other countries. "Lead and Silver.—There was an increase in our produc tion of lead in 1864 ; 94,433 tons of lead ore, principally galena, were dressed, sold, and smelted. This produced 91,283 tons of lead, and gave us 641,0880 z. of silver. " Of zinc ores, nearly all being the sulphide of zinc (com monly called black jack), 15,047 tons were mined, producing 4,040 tons of metal. "Of iron pyrites—ores used for the sulphur they contain in our sulphuric acid and soda works—we procured 94,458 tons. In addition we find returns of a small quantityof each, manganese and wolfram, together with arsenic, ochres barytes, porcelain and pottery clays, and salt." The total value, at the place of production, of the minerals 'obtained in 1864 (exclusive of building stones, bricks, and the like) was £31,604,047. The value of the metal smelted from the metalliferous ores was £15,281,869, so that if we add to this the value of our coals at the pit's mouth, £23,197,968, and £1,500,000, the estimated value of the other earthy minerals, of which returns are given in the " Mineral Statistics," we have as the aggregate value of mineral treasures £39,979,837. THE CHILD MURDER IN LEICESTERSHIRE.--Tho woman named Adkins, who, as there is too much reason to believe, murdered her little boy by throwing him down a well, at Pegg's-green, near Ashby-de-la-Zouch, last week, as already stated, has been committed for trial on the coroner's warrant.
