Inquiry was hell by Mr. J. Humphreys, Middlesex
coroner, at the Duke of Wellington Torero, North-street,
Bethnal-green,tonching the death, from want, of Elizabeth
Wright, sited 40 years. William Wright, • wretched,
sicered.looking man. deposed that he wm s. weaver by
trade. but that for the lest ei;ht months he had worked in
the parish stone-yard, as he could get no other s.mploy-
ment. Ile lived with deceased, his wife, at No. 7, Scott-
street, paying la. 8.1. a week rent. Deceased was ailing ;
last Etaturday he fetched the parish doctor to her. He
af &miriade went to the Amory, and upon his return he
found her dead. The family moms for the List eight
months was as follows : —For the first five months witness
was paid Bd. a day by the parish ; for about two months
they gave him lthL a day. or 5.. a week ; and for the last
three weeks, by a new order, they allowed him to earn Is.
a day by breaking six bushels of stones a day. He
would have brok';n more to get more half-pence, but
they would not let him exceed the six bushels • day.
They paid him one half in money and the other Lill in
bread and tea. If he lisslaplied for extra things for his
wife they would have stopped it oat of what he earned by
atone-breaking, and then e could not have paid his rent
and lived. The coroner said be was sure the parish authori-
ties would not Lave acted as the witness supposed. The
witness. with great earnestness, said that he knew they
would. The deceased used sometimes to earn thi. a week
by binding shoes at 4d. a dozen. Witness had seven
grown-up children by his first wife, but they could only
support themselves. Deceased was very badly c:otbed

boamty, sobriety. and industry. Mr. J. Del rice,
parish surgeon, said that, when called in to the de-
ceased, be saw that she did not want medicine, but food
and comfort. He gave • certificate to have her received
Into the infirmary as suffering from bronchitis and destitu-
tion, and she agreed to go ; but she died from those
maladies the mnie evening. The jury returned a verdict
that deceased was found dead from bronchitis, and that
her death was accelerated by want of food and by ex-
posure.
