ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

°VIE EATING.—An inquest was held before Mr.
Bedford, the coroner, at Westminster Hospital, on
Tuesday, on the body of a man unknown, who died
from the effects of overeating. He had the appearance
of a respectable mechanic, and was about 35 years of
age. Dr. Tanner, the house physician of Westminster
Hospital, stated that when the deceased was brought
in efforts were made to remove something from the
stomach, when it was found that the stomach-pump
became choked up with large pieces of meat. Every
effort was made to restore the deceased, but he expired
in about two hours. A pose-morlemexarninatiorehad been
made, from which it was clearly shown that death had
resulted from disease of the heart, tamed by the
deceased having eaten • large quantity of pork and
fat, which was found in lumps in the stomach. The
coroner having remarked upon the singular nature of
the case, the jury returned a verdict in accordance with
the medical evidence.

Moue filuanExa.—Murders and allegations of murders
are now so numerous that we can scarcely find space in
which to detail the particulars of the whole of them.
The public had not muted to shudder at the fearful
Manehester crimes when they were called upon toned
the sickening detaiL of the Ludgate Hill mystery, and
this is still fresh and unexplained when we receive in-
telligence of two more alleged murders in the metropolis.
The alleged victim in one of these new cases was a girl
about fifteen years of age, deaf and dumb, named Ann
Rush. On the evening of Saturday week the girl was sent
by her mother with a message to exactly opposite
that in which she lived. A few minutes afterwards
she was alarmed by loud shrieks, and on going to see
what was wrong she found her daughter lying at the
bottom of a long flight of stairs, down which she had
been apparently firing with great force. Mrs. Rush
stated that her daughter before her death communicated
by signs that when she had got to the first landing to
the stairs leading to the house where she had gone
with the message • Mrs. Innis, whose temper was the
terror of the court, rushed out like • tory upon the
girl, lifted her up and dung her over the stairs. There
was, it appears, • family feud between the Rushes and
the Limes, but from the evidence given before the
coroner on Saturday the assumption that Mrs. Innis
injured the child seems to have had no foundation.
The girl WAS suffering from disease of the heart, and
her death was attributed by the jury, directed by the
eoroner, to that cause. In the second new case the
alleged victim is a married woman named Gelding, who
has cohabited for some years with a man named John
Lemon. The woman, it is said, died from the effects
of poison on Friday morning, and Lemon is in custody
on suspicion of having been the poisoner. On the body
there was evidenee which tieems to show that the
woman had received a blow, and the man admits they
had a quarrel, but declares that she poisoned herself
with chemicals he used in his trade, that of • dealer in
counterfeit coin.

HORRIBLE AcczBENT IX A SUGAR REFINERT.—On
Monday an accident of the most horrifying nature
occurred at the sugar works of Messrs. Crosafield and
Co., Vauxhall Road, Liverpool. Thomas Lee, a work-
man employed by Messrs. Fawcett and Preston, was sent
to the sugar works to assist in fitting apse engine, and
during the dinner hour he visited the "crushing room."
He then commenced to play with • man of the name of
Ball, and was chasing him round the machinery in the
room, when he slipped under an iron rail, was caught
by the teeth of the sugar crushers and literally ground to
atoms. For hours the machinery could not be entirely
freed from pieces of flesh and bone of the unfortnnate
Mated body.
