INQUESTS, YEATEEDAT.—ALLEGED NEGLECT OP A
PAROCHIAL Scuoitox.—Before Mr. W. Carter, at the
Black Dog Tavern, Vauxhall, Lambeth, relative to the
death of Jane Surrey, aged 70, who, it was alleged, had died
from the want of medical aid.—W. Surrey, of o. 4, Olou-
cesteratreet, Vauxhall, stated that deceased was his wife.
He was a labourer, but had been out of work for seven
weeks. The deceased had been infirm for several years. On
Tuesday last she complained of great difficulty of breathing.
Witness went to Mr. Smyth, • surgeon in N• auxhall-walh,
who said the doomed required some good medicine, which
would cost la. 6d. a bottle. Wiener bed no money. Mr.
Smyth advised him to get an order for the pariah surgeon.
Wines went to Lambeth workhouse, where he saw a man
who told him ha was too late for an order that day, he must
all the next morning. Witness went the next morning
to the workhouse and got an order for the attendance of Mr.
Mitchell, the pariah surgeon, residing at Harleyford-place,
Kennington. Witness took him the order at 10 o'clock in
the morning, when he gave witness a powder tot the
deceased telling hire t• make haste home and he would call
and see her. Witness administered the powder, but Mr.
Mitchell did not come until half.past 8 at night, when she
had been dead four hours.—An overseer, who acted as fore-
man When you made an application far as order at the
workhouse, and were told to call the next day, why did you
not come to me ? I would have given you an order for the
doctor immediately. or you could have obtained one from
either of the guardians.—Witness was not aware of this.—
Mr. Dann I summoned Mr. Mitchell, but he said that he
was so busy with the out-door poor, having 800, that he
could not possibly attend.—The Coroner here addressed
the jury, and said that he always made it a rule
iL eases of this kind to summon the medical gentle-
man whose name had been called into question,
so that he might hear the evidence brought against
Dim, but, if he (Mr. Mitchell) was so usoourteous, he must
put op with the conseqnenoes.—lt was very remarkable that
neither of the surgeons were present, after being summoned.
It was treating the court with contempt in a certain degree.
—The jnry returned a verdict of "Death from natural
causes." At the same time they exonerated Mr. Mitchell
from blame, inasmuch as the case was not made to
be an urgent one, and taking into consideration the
increase in the number of poor persons he had
to attend through the prevailing epidemic.—Diterne

and Mrs. Warne throwing water over her. With some d iffi-
culty he put it out, and Mrs. Warne was also biirnt. They
