reapeeting his death was adduced : —Jane Tidied,
deceased's mother, paid she rvoided on the Quay.
On Saturday oi,,ht., about h o'idok, be came home
or • sober state and partook of supper with her. He
then went to bed. About two o'clock he salted her
if she beard the wind, which was very boisterous,
sad at ties o'clock ehe heard him make a Douse
as if he was about to be salt. She went t.. him, and
asked what was the matter. He made no answer,
and she culled, neighbour. She observed that be
wee very ill, hut before aaistance came he was dead.
He we. usuelly rather intemperate in hia habit., but
bad nit been so for several days past. He had not
complain.' of being ill, in fact she had semi
bint ill. She provided some meat for his supper, of
which he ate • small portion. She sent for Mr.
Griffin, but when be Cato, her eon we. dead.
He was quite a changed man of late. In
the &Noma he wrote a letter to • friend
in London. Sbe had not heard of her son fighting
with anyone. There were no bruises on his body.—
The jury onolidered that upon this evidence they
e.ould not return • verdict how deoesiad died, and
upreaseil a wish for Dr. Oran to be in attendanoe,
Ile was accordingly sent fir, and on his arrival
examined the body, after which he said on Sunday
morning, about six o'clock, be was sent for to visit
dammed, but on arrival found him dead. From his
external examination of the body he could not nod
any marks of violence, but on turning him over
blood flowed freely from his nostrils, and ran in •
stream On the door. He considered the canes of
death was, in all probability, the bursting of • blood
vensel ; it might probably be an aneurism, or
tumour of. blood vessel. Exosative drinking would
not have produced that effect. Blows from fighting ,
would produce the tumour.—Superintendent Lolbury
said ke had been informed that deceased had bad '
his chest by falling over his boat at the time the
Letworth camp was beld.—The jory returned •
verdict that deceased died from "Natural causes."
At the conclusion of the inquest the jurors an-
n.rinced their intuition of giving the sum they
were each entitled to the pampa of the children
who were injured by • cart going over them.
Bsutous Accioawr.—A very earioua accident
occurred on Saturday, by which two little children,
named King, whose perents reside in Steward's-
court, were dreadfully bruised, indeed so much so
that it is thought improbable one of them can re-
cover from the injuries sustained. It seems that •
hione and cart, belonging to Mr. Richert Heti:odds,
builder, went going over the Bridge, the cart being
Lien with cement and timber, when the latter
touched the animal's bead. This caused 11 10 take
fright,aed although UN carter did his utmost to keep
the animal in check, it ran on the pavement where
the two children were. They were knocked down,
and one of them, • boy about four years of age, had
his arm and ankle bootie broken, whilst the cart
wheels ilrealfully brute.' the chest and leKly of his
sister, • gill seven years of age. The little softeners
w. re immediately couveyed to the Infiiinary, where
thy were attended to by Dr. Moorhead,

.-15-111-FITFID RIGHT OF Way-William Dibbles, of
Sprit% Gardens, iris engem oned by Frederick Waters
for amaulting him. -Complainant stated that on Sun-
day afternoon, about four o'clock, hews. walking in I
Franchise-ereet, when he saw defendant and
his wife on the opposite side. In the course
of walking he had to pan over on the side
where they were. He kept inside, and allowed
Mrs. Wilma to pass outside. Defendant however
would not follow his wife's example, but stepped
behind bee, stopped, and prevented him from
going on. Finding that complainant would not go
outside he took but by the shoulders and pushed
him into the road. Words passed between them,
and complainant called him • " blackguard."-In
defence, defendant said Franchise.street was very
narrow, and, as a gentleman, complainant ought to
have allowed his (defendant's) wife to have passed I
Weide. He admitted putbng his hand on com-
plainanesshoulder,and putting him off the pavement,
after which complainant wrung his fiats in his face,
said was very saucy. -Captain Prow,e said it IVY •
cam which ought never to have been brought into
; Court, and did not speak much for oomplainant's
etiquette. As the assault had however been proved,
they mustmark the offinioeby inflicting some fine,but
should only inflict a nominal fine of la. and costa

"Court Flume of Feathers," No. 3152, of the
Ancient Order of Foresters, boa at last seceded from
the South-Western District, with the intentioa of

that the large number of Foresters in the county,

Tug A 11111.TIVII DRAMATIC SOCIZTT. -The amateur
theatricals are hard at work in getting ready two
new pieces for the November performances, and
which have never been played before • Weymouth
audience. The first is a drama, entitled "The
Meer of Shoreditch," and the other the laughable
farce of "a Phenomena in • Smock Frock."- The
amateurs have most generously annoumed their in-
tuition of *owing forward to abut the committee
of the Literary Institution in paying off the debt
which it has been so long burdened with, and for
this purpose will give • theatrical performance at
the Royal Hotel Assembly Boom about the middle
of November. It is to be hoped that the tower
people will as generously reapood to the call, and
thus bland charity with amusement, in order to
liquidate the debt which has so long reatcd against
the Institution. That such an institution ought to
be self supporting is an ackooaledged fact, and it is
a disgrace to the inhabitauta of the town that it is
not better auppotted.
