DEPLORABLE DEATH THROUGH A DOMESTIC
QUARREL—A painful inquiry was held by Mr. John.
Humphrey, the Middleaez coroner, at the Rose and Crown
tavern, Runhtll-row, St. Luke's, last night, respecting
the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Anne Chambers, aged 58
years, which occurred under the following circumstances.
Elizabeth Chambers, 3, Coleman-street, said that on Friday
night last her two grown-up brothers had a quarrel, and
they came to blows. They were both cut about the month.
Deceased was present, and was much agitated. The
t of her soon, who was subject to fits, went into a fit,
youngest of
had to put him to bed, and to attend to him.
She then came downstairs and sat on a chair in the passage,
complaining of pain in her chest. Soon afterwards she sard,
" Do not touch my chest." and, sighing three times, died.
Dr. Evan Evans said that be was called to deceased, and
found her dead. He had formerly attended her for bron-
chitis. She was a person of very sensitive organisation, and
no doubt the excitement consequent upon the quarrel
between her sons and one of them being taken in a
fit affected the action of her heart, and caused it
to give way. She bad, however, no regular heart
disease. There were no marks of violence on deceased.
The coroner said that there woe no miral doubt that the
unfortunate quirrel between deceased's sons had been the
immediate occasion of her death. The jury returned •
verdict of " Death from natural causes, accelerated by ex-
citement."

complainant, who is the wife of the celebrated discoverer
of the gorillas, said that on the day in question she
went to bathe from a machine, and was accompanied by
her servant and a lady friend. On getting into the
water the prisoner, whom she had never seen before,
was bathing from another machine. He came towards
bee, and, putting his arm round her waist, pulled up
her bathing dress and miscooducted
.himself towards her.

fectly naked, followed and put his foot on the machine.
She had no converaatiou with him while she was in the
water. He left her in atosequeuce of a gentleman calling
out. Louisa Kirby, the lady's maid referred to, deposed to

scream. Mr. James Dentry sat I that as he was bathing he
saw the accused place his aim round Madame do Chad];
and put his hand beneath her bathing dress. He imme-
diately shouted out, upon which the prisooer made off. He
watched him into his machine, and on getting ashore the
witness gave him into custody, when he wasted to bribe
the policeman to let him off. For the defence, it was
acknowledged that the prisoner had committed the assault,
