MYSTERIOUS DEATH.

On Tuesday afternoon, an inquest was opened by DU'
Wakley, the coroner, at the board-room of the Malta'
bone workhouse, touching the death of John Corry*.
aged 45, boot and shoe maker, 3, Marylebone-coaa'
The following evidence was adduced :
John Conway, a boy, and son of the deceased, was the
first witness called, and deposed that his father died 1741
Friday-last. Re was taken suddenly and violently 0!
within twenty-four hours preceding his death, and at
twelve o'clock at night Mr: Byham, a surgeon, wos
called in to attend him.

By the Coroner: Another medical gentleman, Pt'
Clapp, also attended his father the morning following f`
few hours before he died. Deceased made no °halo
against any one for causing his illness in his hearing'
He did not vomit in hig (witness's) presence. He S'
always a very sober man, and member of a burial club'
He was quite sure he was so, and £8 was to be receive
for the funeral.

One of the relatives -of the deceased who, at their
urgent request, was present during the proceedings, bey
interrupted the witness, and maintained that the 00
to be received for funeral from the society alluded to vrtls
not £B, but only £2 10s.
Witness, however, persisted £8 was the amount, and
added that,his father had been a member of the burl°
club over two yrars.

Dr. William Clapp, a parish medical officer for the°
district, swore that he attended deceased by order he re;
ceived from the workhouse. He only saw him once, acd
that was about two or three hours before he expirecti
From information witness . had received, he bs
since his death, felt it necessary to perform a pow
mortent examination; and at present he had simply
state that the man died from the most acute peritonitis'
He (witness) found dark fluid and dark patches in111(P
stomach of quite an unusual and very suspicions character:
By the Coroner--He had examined the stomas'
pathologically, but not chemically.
The Coroner informed the jury that the medical 04'
dente imperatively 'required that a chemical analysis
should take place. There was no use in disguising the
fact that deceased was said to have died from poison'
and the matter would have to be cleared up.
A proposition was then made by Dr. Clapp that Dr'
Taylor, or some other very eminent man, should the'
mically analyse the stomach. The coroner had no doubt
that eminent assistance was required, and that having
been arranged, the case was adjourned to next weels'
and the jury bound over to appear on the day appointeti,
each in his own recognisance in £2O.
The Coroner said the case in its present aspect was
mysterious one, and a searching investigation should take
place, that not a doubt ought to exist as to the cause
death ; and if there was any culprit in the case it woad
be then for the jury to discover him.

NEW INVENTION.—THE NEW FOUNTAIN PEN.--A greye
annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with--1,
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent inaproc_d
meats the new " fountain pen," just introduced by itudh'",
and Co., is the best we have ever seen, By a simple but 0104
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by mean,
a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this bal.,
can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfec
clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feat,
in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five nitwit%
quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, a!?ij
