ROBBERY AT THE WAR OFFlCE.—lnformation has been
received and circulated throughout the metropolitan
divisions of police of a daring robbery in the War Depart-
ment, St. James's Place, from whence a large number of
war medals have been carried off that were just completed
for presentation to the troops engaged in the Kaffir war.
The medals are all of solid silver, and worth 7s 10d each.
On one side is the Queen's Head and the words Victoria
Regina, and on the other a lion under an African bush,
and the words South Africa, 1853 ; each medal has an
orange ribbon with blue stripes, and marked on the outer
edge with different names. The affair, as may be imagined,

CORONER'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday, the borough coroner
held the following inquests :—On the body of a child, named
Christopher M'Farlane, aged three years, who died in
consequence of injuries received by falling into a bucket of
hot water on Saturday fortnight. The affair was accidental,
and the jury found a verdict accordingly.—On the body of
a child named Eliza Griffiths, who was overlain by its
mother, in Robert. street, Toxteth-park. The child was ten
weeks old. Verdict, " Accidentally smothered."—On the
body of a joiner, named John Cragg, 25 years old, who
worked for Mr. Ogilvie, at the rice mills, Cherry-street,
belonging to Mr. Lightfoot. It appeared that, on Saturday
night. the deceased was ordered to measure a piece of wood
in the cellar, where the engine was placed. He was not to
do this until Monday morning. He came back on Monday
morning, and went into the celar where the machinery was.
Whilst he was there (no one knew he was there) the engine
was set going, after the usual caution, and ringing of the
bell ; but it appeared that deceased was caught and crushed
frightfully. The engine had not gone more than half a revo-
lution, when it was stopped. The deceased was taken to the
Northern Hospital, but he died there shortly after. Verdict,
" Accidental death."—On the body of a German named
George Fry, who came from New York on Saturday last.
He was very ill, and was taken to a German lodging house
in Kent-square, kept by a person named Mildenstein, who
called in a surgeon to see him, and he advised that deceased
should be taken to the Southern Hospital, where he died.
Mr. Garland, surgeon at the hospital, who made a pest
mortem examination of the body, said death was caused by
compression of the brain from natural causes. Verdict
accordingly.—On the body of a man, name unknown,
apparently an Irish harvestman, who died at the beerhouse
of Mr. Howlett, Edge-hill. Mrs. Howlett stated that, on
Sunday evening, she saw the deceased in a weak state, and
she took him into her house. He said he was badly off
from cold and hunger, and had no place to sleep in. There
was a man with deceased ; and after he died, the man went
away, saving he was a brother of deceased, and would come
again. He took deceased's clothes, but he did not return.
There was no doubt death was accelerated by exposure to
cold. Verdict, " Died of starvation and exposure to cold."
—On the body of Patrick Dugnan, aged about 12 years,
who was in the employment of Mr. Smart, brewer, Benson-
strut. There was a cart loaded with coal at the brewery
gate, when the lad and a man came up with a cart
de a belongingstart,
to Mr. Smart. The horse under the coal dray made
and the man ran to stop the animal, when bY some accident
the poor boy was knocked down, and the wheel of the cart
passing over him, killed him on the spot. Verdict, " Acci-
dental death."
