MUSDISOVS AWACS OS A ralsoxEa IN A POLICE CELL.
Timothy Collins, a powerful-looking fellow, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Bonham, charged with committing &
murderous assault on Donald M 'Aodrew, in one of the cello
of the police-station in Tower-street, Waterloo-road.
The complaioant, whose head was bandaged up, and who
appeared to be suffering severely from the injuries inflicted
ca him, said that on Saturday night he had the misfoi,ame
to be taken to the Tower-street police-station, for
having a drop too much. Some time afterwards he
recollc:ted the prisoner being introduced to the
cell, and after the door had been closed and all was quiet
the prisoner came to where he was sitting, seised hold of
him, and threw him no the floor of the cell when he jumped
on him violently. Witness endeavoured to all for assist.
anoe, but the prisoner then fell on him, seized him by the
throat and nearly throttled him. At last the *thinks
noise brought a constable to the oell and his assailant
was dragged a him and secured from further violence.
Witness believed that be must have lost his life had not
the countable come to his aseistance just at that moment.
Mr. Burcham asked if there win anybody else in the celL
Witness replied in the negative. At the time be did not
know any other person was locked up in any of the cello,
which were some distance from the inspector's and the re-
serve room. - .

Thomas'lltchener, police-constable Ib3 L, said be was on
duty inside the station when the prisoner wee put in the
mill with the complainant, and shortly afterward, he heard
a curious noise in the cell, which attracted his attention.
He unlocked the door, and saw both men on the floor. The
prisoner had hold of the other's throat, attempting to
throttle him. Witness was compelled to use violence to
make the prisoner release his hold, and during that time he
several times exclaimed, "I'll kill the —."
Harrington, 32 L, pro•r d that he took the prisoner into
custody for fighting outside the Victoria Theatre.
Butaham observed that it was a most biutal attack,
sad, as serious consequences might be the result of the
prisoner's violence, he should remised the prisoner until
Saturday next.
Bail was ref use I.

STARVATION AND DEATH IN SIIORIDIVE.
INQUEST.--(THIS DAY.)
' This morning Mr. John Humphreys, Middlema
coroner, resumed at the Black Horse Tavern, Kinpaid.rold,
Shoeeditch, the inquii relative tr the death of Heojainie
Mendel, aged 49 years, who expired uuder circumstances
that involved a charge of inhumanity against the parish
authotAies.
From the evidence taken on the previous occasion it ap-
peered that deceased was a shoemaker, who lived and died
in a miserable room at 6, liereford.street, Hoggerston. He
bad been ill for a long time, and could not earn much. For
the three weeks previous to his death on last Saturday
week, he had earned nothing. His son, a boy, lived with
him and earned 2s. 3d. a week. Neither of them had enough
to eat; they could not get food. On the Monday previous
to his death he went to Shoreditch workhouse to be taken
in, but was referred to the board of guardians, who met on
the We inealay. The board refused to take him in, and
gave him 2e. ands loaf of bread per week foe four weeks.
He was at that time hardly able to walk, sod was shockingly
emaciated. He got his relief the next day.
sad on the Saturday morning he was found dead. When
the jury Vk wed h.. remains they had the appearance of helve
those of a man 70 years of age. Dr. Greenwood, the palish
medical officer, said that the immediate cause of death was
not want of [Ord. Lot • large aneurism of the aorta. Toe
starvation had prolonged his life. The Coroner, however.
held that it could not be said that the parish
authorities had that motive for refusing the un-
fortunate deceased the admission into the workhouse, whult
he wssatated to have asked at a tune when he was au reduced
as hardly to be able to walk, and who was without food or
warmth in coosequeoce of utter inability to work. He there.
I furs adjourned the proceedings until to-day, to nee what el.
planation the perish authorities could give.
Upon the resumption of the inquiry,
Mr. George Rogers, relieving officer for the diett.ct
Shoreditch said that on last Monday week deceased ere
plied at the workhouse for relief, as he was UllebiO to
work. He did not apply to be taken into the house. Irtl•
nese gave him an order to see Dr. Greenwood to certify the
canes of his illness. He returned on Wednesday incrh3og
and waited and saw the board of guardians. The theiTo3lll
and the clerk both offered him adrniasion. lie Mid h« dal
not leant to go into the house as his sae earned from :e. to
75. a week. He was ordered relief--2e. and a loaf of bread.
Nanwearies, meat, would have been given to him NM-
wards if required. Witness had reported to the board that
he was in great distress, and that the case was one (oral.
minion. Witness would have given temporary relief d
deceased hal come for it between the Monday and the day
on which the board met. The certificate given by
Greenwood, stated that deceased laboured under tenipuratv
asthma.
The Coroner said that Dr. Greenwood admitted that be
had not seen deceased himself before death. His aroma
only had seen him. Dr. Greenwood alert said that if derail
had been examined carefully it would have been found
he was in a dangerous—in point of fact, a dying —coeditor.
That deceased was not examined was much to be regretted.
As to the parish authorities, the evidence of Mr. Kir"
exonerated them from blame.
The jury returned • verdict, " That deceased was
dead from the effects of an 'mention of the aorta."
It transpired that deceased was married, but had hees for
three years separated from his wife, who earned la
week at shoebinding. and to whom ho made au allowance
of 34d. • week, all he anal afford.

THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW.
(THIS DAY.)

The Lord Mayor has been more fortunate in the /
weather to-day than he could have possibly hoped. Yes-
terday was one of the dismallest days of the year, and up
to au early hoar there was every prospect of Apt. But the
wind changed, and we 'meshed beautiful autumnal weather,
with a bright sun and a dry atmosphere. The streets, snore-
over,were in excellent condition for promenading, and many
to whom the show had few attractions were ready to enjoy
the novelty at this time of the year of a pleasant walk. The
coincidence of the birthday of the heir apparent is another
advantage to the present inauguration, as that day
has been kept with unusual enthusiasm. Flap,
church belle, and cannon have made the metropolis unwon-
tedly anim►ted ; the public spirits have gone up to •
high point, and the number of people who came oat to wit-
ness the spectacle was larger than on previous years. The
balconies and windows along the route, espe-
cially in Cannon-street, St. Paul's Churchyard,
and Ludgate-bill, were occupied by gaily dressed
la Hee end chddree, and amongst the crowds on the
pavements the provincial and foreign elements were
as usual strongly represented. The gamins of London were
in only too great force, and their noise and tricks greatly
disturbed the ordinary gravity of the City. Some of the City
tradesmen took advantage of the procession to do a stroke of
business in the advertising line, and showered over the heads
of the people thousands of small bills netting forth the won-
derful virtues of their respective wares. The various
classes of street performers sung, piped, harped, sad
fiddled their best, and ma lea fair bar vest.

The bowers geed in the procession seemed many of them
to be new; at all events they were very bright and py.
The Lacers looked picturesque enough, and wen In
favour with the crowd. The men in armour were
awe-inspiring and teurnament-like as ism from a
distant window or housetop, but from the pavement the
secrets of their "armour," and the general theatricality of the
" get-up " provoked more mirth than curiosity. The stal-
wart warriors, who if stern looks and • firm seat could
bring the crusaders to oar minds would have bad a wonderful
success, bad to encounter a running fire of criticisms
during their ride, and several gentian of • highly modern
nature poured in upon them at every turn. " How are your
poor feet!" is a query which was never addressed to Sir
Brian de Bois Gained, or the Black Knight. Their dignity,
however, was well sustained, sad though the peewee
here and there of • mounted city police officer between the
Knights, *eel upon the fancy —many hundreds of young
people will no doubt feel Ivanhoeish for the rest of the
day.

The Lord Mayor met with a very hearty reception, due
both to the personal estimation is which he is held and to
his sosemion to the chief magistracy of the City.
The procession passed through Gresham-street, Coleman-
