DEATH IN THE HARVEST FIELD.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. W. Payne held an
inquest at Gay's Hospital en the body of William Friend,
an agricultural labourer, aged 60. •
Kesiah Friend, the widow of the deceased, stated that cm
Saturday last her husband was camel in a Mid at Wes.
terham, Kent, carting oats for Mr. Yount. a brow of time
place. Being short of hands, Mr. Young and Mod Is throw-
ing the oats up into the cart in whieh deammed was at
work, and as soon as a spot was cleared Mr. Young signalled
the horses to go on. Deceased was is the act of catching a
sheaf thrown up to him, when, MID. Young's word, the
horses moved ow, and deceased losing his balance, was
thrown violently oa the ground, and there lay insensible.
Daring his fell he struck a pitchfork, which cut his shin.
Witness had frequently told Mr. Young not be in such a
hurry in sending the honenon, adding that if he coatinned
to do so her husband would be thrown off. Deceased
was carried to a heap of oats in a corner of the field,
and although it was only half-past three o'clock when the
accident occurred, he was left there unwired for until eight
o'clock at night. Mr. Young left the ground within live
minutes after the accident occurred, and did not return.
Fearing for the fate of her husband, witness offered •
labourer, who had been at work in the field, a shilling if he
would fetch • medical man, but be refused, on the ground
that Mr. Young would discharge hint if he discontinued his
work. At eight o'clock, when the business of the day was
over, her husband was removed to one of the farm oat-
houses, where they resided, to save the expense of lodgings
at a public-house. At that time she succeeded in sending
for a doctor, who, it appeared, came to Mr. Young's house,
but did not visit the unfortunate man who so much required
his assistance. Witness sent word to Mr. Young that she
was entirely destitute; that she had nothing with which to
relieve her husband's pain, and that she had not a piece of
candle to light the shed during the night. Mr. Young seat
her • piece of bread sad a quarter of a candle. When her
husband became somewhat composed she put out her light
by way of saving the candle, but having occasion for it
again she found that a cat had stolen it, and all
that long night she sat in darkness with her
afflicted husband, unable to render him any maistaam.
She had previously asked Mr. Young to allow his man togo
again for • doctor, but he refused, saying, "No, 1 want to
go to bed, and he mast go to bed to, u I want him up early
in the morning." Oa the following (Sunday) morning
witness sent for the parish doctor. He arrived about half-
past 10 o'clock, and the first gustiest he asked was whether
witness had got any money. She Inglied that ber hashes"'
had been at work six or seven weeks ter Mr. Yo ad
that she had about 21. 10s. to Nue hen that

pee the is. to a carter to take her Inealmead to Guy's Hos-
pital, when he arrived es Tuesday last, and died a few
mantes OW his arrival.
In ettassalei up the thrueir rid that medical assistance
ought to he.. bees 'Weed earlier ; but that the circum-
stances casumeled with the almsgos of tbe medical man were
out of the minims et the jury. It would have been much
better if the unfortunate man could have been taken to as
hospital, or otherwise properly provided for.
After a stormy discussion among the jury, of half an
hour's duration, the foreman announced that all the jury
agreed upon • verdict of " Accidental Death ;" that four
of them were for reprimanding Mr. Young and the medi-
cal men for grievous neglect of duty and inhumanity; and
one for passing • censure upon the doctors only.
The Coroner said he could only take cognizance of the
verdict, which was that of " Accidental death." At the
same time he had no hesitation in saying that if Mr. Young
and the surgeon had paid more attention to the unfortu-
nate deceased it would have been better.—The proceed-
ings then terminated.

A LADY DROWNED WHILE BATHING. —An in-
' quest was hidden Tuesday last by Mr. Coroner Davis, of
Howth, os the body of Mrs. Maria Kirwan, who lost her
life at Ireland's Eye, on the 6th inst.—William Kirwan

rion.street, Dublin. The deceased lady, Maria Klima,

or ail weeks, and was in the habit of going over to Ireland's
Eye as an artist. Mrs. Kirwan used to accompany me.
She was very find of bathing, and while I sketched she
used to roam about or bathe. Yesterday she went over as
usual. She bathed at the foot of the marten* tower, but
could not stay loan in the water, as the boatmen were to
bring another party to the island. She left me in the
latter part of the day, at 6 o'clock, to bathe again. She
told me she would walk rowed the kill after bathing,
and meat me at the boat. I did sot we her alive after-
wards, and only found the body described by the boatmen.—
Patrick Naugle, fisherman, deposed that he was employed
by Mr. Kirwan to leave him and Mrs. Kirwan on Ireland's
Eye on Monda morning. Mr. Kirwan had told him to
be ready at eight o'clock in the morning. Witness and
three other men took them in a boat to Ireland's Eye, and
left them there at about ten o'clock in the morning. Mrs.
Kirwan had told them to refs= to the island at eight
o'clock in the evening. They bad a small travelling tog
and • basket with them. Witness left another party on
the island at about twelve o'clock and returned at four
o'clock, when the deceased came down to him, and told
him to come for her and her husband at eight o'clock in
the evening. He went, accordingly, at that hour, with his
boat and the same three men. When within about twelve
perches of the island witness hailed them. It was then
very dark. Mr. Kirwan answered and said be was there.
They got into the landlog.place, and Mr. Kirwan, who was
on the bank above, d • d one of the men to go up for the
bag. Witness went for the bag. Mr. Kirwan was
by himself, and he and one of the bantams lined
Michael Nangle went off to look for Mrs. Mimeo.
Witness remained a sheet time behind, sod Idea bedewed
them. Michael Naugle msd wiles% ossomposiol by Mr.
Kirwan, searched for last, and ommismod morel Moog

that prevented It horn being carried out to em. Her sloths

to where the ladies bathe when theygo on the island. Witness i
had brought Mr. and Mrs. Kirwan over to the island the
two days previous. Mrs. Kirwan wanted to stay as late as
eight o'cloek, but they come over rather sooner. The jury
returned a verdict of "Accidental death."

Reid, nag the bell at tar bare, and said she came from
the Isersdreas. We did not for a shiniest doubt tier veracity,
and I gave her a very large bundle of clothes. I asked her
ulnas, I *raid pat the book amongst the clothes or into
bar beads? Illbo replied, " Oh, amongst the clothes for I
bad the milbstime to loss a book, and was obliged to pay
21., the asessat of the bill, and we are not allowed to de-'
Liver bills or to main the amount of them." As the
bundle was very large, I asked her how she meant to carry
it, and she replied upon her head. I accordingly helped
bar with the load. I particularly noticed the neatness of
the cap she wore. One of the prune ladies was present,
and can identify hair. I observed at the time what a clean
woman she was.
Isabella Reid—The young woman is quite mistaken. I
know nothing of her or her bundle of clothe'.
Policeman (showing a cap to the witness)—Was the cap
you speak of like this ?
Witness—Exactly. I believe that to be the cap she had
on, but it was then particularly neat and clean. I observed
to my young mistress about the cleanlinesa of the woman.
Sir Peter Laurie (to Reid)—There seems to be en agree-
ment amongst the witnesses as to your identity. Do you
' wish to ask them any questions?
Isabella Reid—l have only to say I know nothing at all
about it. lam quite in the dark. My husband is a hatter,
and we travel from piece to plate in that trade.
Sir Peter Laurie—l am quite surprised at the credulity
of the prosactitrix who not only received into her house this
dishonest girl, but was persuaded by the woman who
was also a stranger to her, to entrust such valuable pro.
puts to her care.
Mn. Park—The girl told me, with the tears streaming
from hersyes, that the Almighty had sent her to my door
or she would have starved.
Sir Peter Laurie—And what did the other say to you ?
Mrs. Park—Why, she told me she cam* from Scotland.
(Laughter.)
Sir Peter Laurie—Sent by the same authority, !suppose.
(Laughter.) Well, the one was just as candid as the other.
She does not speak like a Scotchwoman.
Mrs. Park—She can speak like one, and I believed her
to be one, and that's the truth.
Sir Peter Laurie—l shall remand this case, and hope that
families will be properly warned of this mode of imposi-
tion, and consider that every day produces new and success-
ful schemes for their plunder.
The prisoners were then remanded.

GUILDHALL.

Wlllll6llO Who', one of the washables attached to the
Thames division of police, was again placed at the bar be-
fore tier J. Musgrove, charged with the manslaughter of
Mary Ann Chambers, for further examination.
Inspector Teague stated that a coroner's inquest was held
the night Wrote at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the
body of the deceased, when the jury returned a verdict of
sudden death, and in his opinion nothing transpired daring
the evidence to justify the suspi'ion that the accused, in
pushing the deemed, which resulted in death, was actuated
by any motive of malice or ; be was, It had been as-
certained, of good character as an officer.
Sir John Musgrove, after a severe admonition, discharged
the prisoner
BOW-STREET.

Henry GlONSaler, an actor at the Sadler 's-wells Theatre,
was charged with a violent assault on his brother.
Charles Grammer, • printer, in Prisms-street, Little
Queen-street, stated that the defendant called at his house
is a state of intoxioatioo, the previous afternoon, and, after
pronouncing a curse upm all his brothers, commenced •
violent and unprovoked attack upon him. Witness was
compelled to resist him, and a terrible fight ensued, during
which both of them fell to the pruned., The defendant
tusk elf his mot le resew the attack, but wm eventually
by the polies The defendaathed a large family
Cglidlitt was the mein of him. Wittier. however, did not
wish Iss punish him, but only to have blot bound over to
keep thu peace.
Mr. Hall—We are constantly herbs this sewn sug-
gested tons, with • greet show of MOMMeignie monideration,
by complainants who desire to be thought mereiful ; but
it is often the severest penalty that Guild be indicted. A
man may be able to pay a fine, but it is often a difil•
cult matter to get a octuiM of sureties to be answerable for
his good :conduct for three or six months, and failing in
this, he is committed for • long term of imprisonment, and
has thus to undergo a punishment altogether out of pro-
portion to the offence committed. A magistrate ought to
be very cautious in exercising this power, or defendants
may be sadly victimised by the overwhelming leniency of
their friends.
The complainant said M should be satisfied, then, if his
brother entered into his own recogntsanees.

Mr. Hall—That is quite a different thing.
The defendant was very sorry for what had happened,
but it was a private quarrel, sad a fair stand-up fight.
Mr. Hall—l advise you not to appear in this character
again, or you may have reason to regret the performance.
You mast eater into your own recognitances in 401. to keep
the peace towards your brother for six months.
