INQUESTS.—On Saturday last, P. F. Curry, Esq.,
coroner, held an inquest on the body of a man named

Frank Williams who to
the American ship Willi
consequence. The jury returned
dental death."—Also, on the body of a man, aged fifty-
two years, who on Monday last received some injury to
the head. Dr. Bickerton, who attended the deceased up
N the time of his death, which took place on
.Friday
morning, certified that death was caused by injury to
the head. The jury returned a verdict—" That the
deceased came to his death by injury to the head, but
how received we have no evidence to show."—On the
body of a boy named Peter Keenan, aged eleven years,
the son of a widow woman who resides at 20, Tarleton-
street. The deceased had been employed in several
shops, but had been discharged, as he was not strong enough
for the work. On the 9th inst., he left his mother's
house to look for work, and in the afternoon she was
told that he had got hurt. She found him in the
Northern Hospital with his leg and thigh broken. It
was ascertained that the injuries were received by a cask
falling on him from the warehouse of Messrs. Cox
Brothers, Oldhall-street. He died on Friday night in
the hospital. The jury, after hearing the evidence, went
to inspect the warehouse and machinery where the
accident took place. On their return, after a long
absence, the coroner said :—I wish to ask the foreman
of the jury why I have been kept waiting here for two
hours, when they could have been here in less than
half that time ?—The Foreman : I may say, in
examining this machinery it took a great deal of time,
and we thought it desirable to weigh the matter well,
and for that purpose we took time to consider, and have
drawn up our verdict.—The Coroner : Have you been
to any other place ? because I cannot help thinking
that you have treated me with disrespect. If you had
been one minute longer, I would have exercised the
power of adjourning the case, and perhaps fining you in
£2O each. Now, as you have been deliberating some-
where, I know not where, but where you ought not to
have been, perhaps you will be good enough to favour
us with your verdict.—The Foreman expressed regret
at what had taken place, and returned a verdict of
"Accidental death," with the following presentment:—
"We have to express our regret that the proprietors of
warehouses do not see that intelligent and wise men are
sent to work the machinery, and make it their interest
and duty. to see that the machinery is safe and efficient
in all points, and geared on a simple and easy-wrought
principle."
