SAD DEATH OF A ORA.DLEY HEATH
TRADESMAN.

THE CORONER AND THE POLICE.
On Wednesday Mr. Edwin Hooper (South Staf-
fordshire ('oroner) held an inquest at the Corngraves
Hotel, Cradley Heath, Rowley Regis, respecting
the death of James Newton (75), shingler, Grainger's
Lane, wile had died from the effects of injuries
received at Rubery, Halesowen on the 4th inst.—
Charles Newton, a grandson of the deceased, stared
that the deceased had been an invalid for years,
and had availed himself of the opportunity of
having a drive into the country as often as possi-
ble. On the 4th inst, witness drove him in a dog
cart to Rubery, and on arriving at a lane leading
to the Cook Inn deceased told witness to take the
bit out of the horse's mouth and let it have a feed.
He did so, and immediately afterw iris the horse
plunged, broke the bridle, and run away. He left
the deceased in the trap and witness ran a lung
distance after the horse. On returning h. 3
tabled that his grandfather had sustained vary
serious injuries and had been removed to the New
-Inn Witness's father was telegraphed for, and he
ar.ived two hours after the aeoldent Deceaeel was
removed to his home in a oar, where he died on the
14th inst. Witness dtd not sea the deceits, d hurt
The father of the last witness said he believed the
deceased was found by some men, who removed
him to the public-house. The deeeased sustained
serious injuries to the head, and one arm was
broken in two places. A man at Rubery told him
that the deceased was dragged about twenty yards.
Deceased never regained coned usnees. In reply
to the Coroner, Police constable Peake said he had
no more evidence to bring before the jury, The
Coroner: But there must be more evidence. Ths
police-officer who sent on the particulars of the
death distinctly writes, "The deceaaed died from
injuries through being thrown out of a trap." We
have no evidence that the deceased was ,firown out
of a trap or that he was found in a line. The office:
who has charge of this case
_should have seen that
the witnesses were here who found the deceased,
and who took him into the public home.. During
the thirty years I have been Coroner I have never
had evidence put before mu in such an incomplete
manner. I shall adjourn the inquiry, arid report the
whole matter to the Chief Constable for the ceunty.
If the police think I am coming to Cradley Heath
on a fool's errand they make a great mistake A
juryman : Perhaps the natur, 3of the ac-i nt dirt
not con). to the knowledge o' the police until late.
The Coroner: It a the ditty of tee polio t,, get,
if ossihle, witneAses who will tell the jury how the
injuries were received. It is qui.e evict, nt lathe
present case that the deceased was found by some
men and taken te the p.,blic-h atse. The po!ice
•hould have looke I after the men and have sum-
moned them to the inquiry. The Coroner added that
it was net his du y to return a verdict, and ha did
not see how the jury could re Tire a verdict. The
inquiry was adjourue I until the 30th init.
