INQUIET, YESTERDAY.—DEATH PROM WANT OP
LIOIIT AT HAMPATIAD.—Before Mr. G. I. Mills, st Uni-
versity College Hospital, on the holy of Thomas Rent,
aged 44, a cab-driver. Mr. Alfred Williams, house surgeon
so the hospital, mid the deceased was brought there no the
morning of the 27th ult., having sustained a dislocation of
the right ankle joint, the right leg considerably crushed, and
other injuriee. On Friday last mortification ensued, and
amputation of the limb was performed by Dr. Liston. Mor-
tification again ensued, and deceased died on Monday
evening. lied stated that the injury had been mused
by the overturning of his cab from a pathway at Hamp-
stead, on to which he had driven by mistake. Mr. Jo-
seph Charles Hackwork said he resided at Well walk.
Hampstead. About two o'clo kcm the morning of the 27th
ult., he engaged deceased's cab. At the commencement of
Well-walk there are several roads, leading on to various
parts of the heath, which are very badly arranged. It was
impossible to distinguish the road from the pathway. The
lamps of Hampstead are lit by contract for mix months, and
on the night before, ate contract being oat, there were no
lamps lighted. The—deceased mistook the path, and had
proceeded a considerable distance before witness dinovered
the mistake. He was about to call to him, when suddenly
the cab overturned, end fell from the pathway into the road,
a depth of three feet. The screams of demoted were frightful;
and witnew, having got through the window, found the poor
fellow lying with his leas under the top of the cab. He
mimed an alarm, and with eminence the deceased was
got from under the cab, sod removed to the hospital.
The witness, in answer to the coroner, said that innumerable
accident* resulted from the dangerous nature of this spot,
which might have been obviated by placing a railing along
the path. The appearance of thepath going in the direction
from Hook-walk was such that it was frequently mistaken
for the road in open day. The cabman was perfectly sober.
He considered the surveyor of the roads, or the authorities
over him, were responsiMe, and had he (Mr. Backworth)
been injured, he should certainly have brought an action
against them for damages. He hoped that the conduct of the
authorities would be made known to the public. —Mr. Keith
stated that he bad frequently brought the subject of the dia.
graceful state of this and other parts of Hampstead before
the vestriestbero, but he was always pat down by the gmtry.
Only recently, a coach wasturned over. One of the Parcels
Delivery Company'. horses had its lees broken, and In some
parts this path, which no one could distinguish from the road,
was three feet nine inches in height.—Mr. Mills slid no
doubt that those whose duty it was to look after the matter
were responsible' and, in ass of death, crimirally reepon-
sible.—The juryreturned a verdict of " Accidental death."
