FATAL ACCIDENT AT THR WINDSOR VOLUN-
DUX k VLBW.-A BANDSMAN KILLED.

INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.)
This forenoon Mr. John Humphreys, the
Middlesex coroner, held an inquest at the St. John's
Mission-house, Ciliates-street, St. George's-in-the-East,
touching the death of Edward Medved!, aged 17 years.
It appears that at the review the horse of Major Wil-
liams, of the 48th Middlesex Volunteers, took fright, and
dashed amongst the bandsmen. Its rider was thrown and
the deceased was kicked by the horse, but ha did not at the
time appear to be seriously injured. However, ha became
worse, and died on Saturday from peritonitis, caused by
the blow he had sustained.

The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the
evidence.

Arthur Forrester Smith, 14, and Hector Augustus Smith,
12, two brothers, were charged with feloniously assaulting
Mary Anne Nunn, with intent to maim and disable her,
and to do her some grievous bodily harm. They were
also charged with committing the same act with the
intent to prevent their lawful apprehension.
Mr. Poland and Mr. Begley prosecuted, and the prisoners
were defended by Mr. Collins.
The circumstances of this extraordinary case will be
fresh in the recollection of our readers. The unfortanate
prosecutrix was an aged woman, who was engaged as
housekeeper at No. 2, Catherine-court, Seething-lane, in
the City of London, and the prisoners were related to her
by marriage, and frequently visited her, and consequently
were well aware of the nature of the arrangements of the
premises. The offence was committed on the evea
of the Ist of May, and on that day it ap
that the prisoners had secreted themselves in the
coal cellar, no doubt for the purpose of com-
mitting a robbery on the premises, and in the afternoon,
the prosecutrix having gone out, they proceeded to carry
their object into execution. It appeared that they went
to the bedroom of the proesentrix on the third floor, and
wrenched open a box, /rpm which they stole a sum of 21.
Before they had completed the robbery the prosecutrix
returned, and the prisoners then made an attack
upon her, the struggle taking place on the first-floor
landing. The elder one held the old woman and directed
the younger one to go upstairs for a wooden mallet with
which they bad wrenched open the box. With this
instrument the prisoners struck Mrs. Nunn a number of
violent blows and literally battered iu her head and
face. Eventually they left her in an unconscious
state, and made their escape by means of an sir shaft at
the back of the house. Mrs. Nunn was afterwards found
by her son-in-law and conveyed to Guy's Ifeepital, where
for some time it was feared that she would not
survive the dreadful injuries that had been in-
flicted upon her. Ou the following Sunday the
prisoners were apprehended in a coffee-shop in the
Strand, where they had been living for about three weeks.
'Their father was a custom-house officer, residing at Old
Ford, and it appeared that thee had absennderl from home
after stealing a stun of 41. When taken into custody a
pistol, a quantity of powder, and Mime foils were found in
their room, and another pistol was also found in the
house in Catherine-cote, which also belonged to them.
Mrs. Nunn now appeared in court, and was called as
the first witness for ILe prosecution. She was quite able
to walk, but had several large patches on her head. She
proceeded to detail the circumstances under which the
attack was made upon her, but before she had completed
her evidence
Mr. Collins said he could not resist a verdict on the
