SHOCKING DEATH OF A BOY.—Last evening Mr.
William Payne, the Southw ark coroner, held an inquest at
Gay's Hospital, touching the death of Joseph Richard
Daniels, aged sixteen years, who was killed on the Thames
while trying to escape from a police galley. The deceased
was a lighterman's apprentice. On last Saturday, t etween
eleven and twelve o'clock, he was rowing a sla along the
river off Horselydown. He had then in his pons "on two
pounds and a half of smuggled tobacco an od pound of
foreign cigars. He saw a Thames police boat following
him, and he rowed very fast in order to get out of their
way. William Grace, a lighterman, said that he saw the
deceased row the skiff between two barges, and the bow
was caught between the bow of one barge and the stern
of the other. It was crushed like a match-box, and when
the barges separated it sank. The body of the deceased
was shortly afterwards recovered, qquite dead. A Thames
police constable said that he seated in the removal of the
boy's body to the hospital. He was frightfully crushed.
The cigars and tobacco were found on the body. The
coroner having /rammed up, the jury returned a verdict of
" Accidental death."
FIRE IN CRIPPLECIATE.—Last night at a few
minutes before nine o'clock, a fire of a destructive charac-
ter, and attended with great loss of property, broke out
in the • of Mr. J. Linfoot, an umbrella maker,
No. 100, Fore-street, Cripplegate. It commenced from
some unknown cause in the back workshops, and in the
course of a few minutes had gained such an ascendancy
as to jeopardise the buildings near. A number of engines
were in attendance, but the fire was not got under until
near midnight, and before the premises of Mr. Pyman,
No. 97, in the same street, as well as the fancy box fac-
tory of Mr. S. Smith in Rose-court, and also those of Mr.
Kidd, a tailor, and Mr. Whitehead, a fishmonger, num-
bered respectively 41 and 42, in Milton-street, were
damaged. The whole of the back workshops of Mr.
Linfoot are destroyed, the costly stock in trade consumed,
and the lower part of the dwelling is partially burned, and
in some places gutted. Mr. Linfoot was insured in the
Sun office.
