Tim FATAL " PARAFFIN" EXPLOSION AT CAMDEN
Tows. —Yesterday Mr. John Humphreys rammed, first at
University College Hospital, and afterwards at the Bell and
Crown Tavern, hing.street, Camden Town, the adjourned
inquiry respecting the cireumatancee attending the
death of Georg, Frederick Denser, aged eleven years,
who was killed in consequence of as explosion of what I
was termed paraffin oil, at the house of his employer,
Mr. Motors, an oil soil ooloorman, in Great College-
street, Coracles Town, as reported is our columns.
The inquiry created as much interest as as any of the two
piresioue oimaiions. The horsed coroner at the hospital took ,
the evidence of James Wright, who was lying in bed and
was still suffering from the offish, of the injuries be bad
sustained. He said that on the eight of the fire be was in
Mr. Masters' premises, haring gene the.. with same oil. and
beau instructed to take some in the shop amiy. Be asked Yr.
Masters whether be should take the moos away es they the
were but he preferred that the oil should be measured. so
that he might know the exact quantity he bed retuned.
Dr. Harley. Professor of M.Jical Jurisprnikmee at the I.Tat•
varsity College , prompted au elaborate mart se the quali-
ties poses ed by the real paraghtl oil as coompared with that
sold under the same name, but not the same
purity, after which the jury return the ear-
diet :—" That dammed died from injuries eased by the
explosion of vapours thrown off from certain oil calla
• paraffin oil,' end the said juror+ do further may they lad
pure paraffin oily sot explosive, but that a spurious and
noxious arti,lo is largely sold as paraffin oil, to the extreme
danger both to life ejeFerty, and that sane legislative

and the said *ere dobatty say the oil that did explode
was set the same character m that sold by Yr.
