conolvEß, INQUESTS.

AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATll.—Yesterday an In-
quisition was held at the Lamb, New-turnstile, Holborn, before
't . sr inLiNG, Esq. on the body of Charles alollines, a printer,
about sixty..two years of age.
John Brind, pressman, deputed that he is in the employ of
Messrs. Luke }laniard and Son ; deceased was also employed
there ; he appeared to be in his usual state of health on Friday.
Witness did not speak to him on that day ; very seldom had occa-
lion to speak to Lim, as he worked in a different department.
About six o'clock on Friday evening he returned to his work, and
on opening the door of the compositor's room, which leads to the
press-room, he saw him in the act of falling backwards ; the de.
ceased held up his hands but never spoke ; there might have been
about twelve men working at the time—all before the deceased,
with their backs towards him. Witness immediately ran to bis
assistance, raised his head. and untied his neckcloth ; others came
up to help ; we did every thing in our power, and sent for a sur-
geon. Witness then went to his work, and returned at twenty
minutes after ; he found the deceased on the floor—dead. The
surgeon had been there, and pronounced him dead. Witness
conceived he was in a fit.
Robert Goodwin stated that he is a compositor, and was at work
in the same office with the deemed &lona six o'clock on Naiday
evening he heard something fall, and going from his frame to
ascertain what it was, lie saw the deceased extended on the floor he
was insensible when he came up to his assistance. A doctor ar-
rived in about a quarter of an hour. Witness has no doubt he
died a natural death. No one was larking with him, nor was there
any quarrel between deceased and his fellow-workmen. They were
all perfectly sober. The deceased WAS not given to drinking of
late.
Mr. John Taylor, surgeon, of Newman's-row, Lincoln's Inn-
fields, said he was called on to attend the deceased a little after six
o'clock on Friday evening ; he found him supported by two men I
on the tom; he was then dead. Witness opened a vein in the
arts to satisfy the bystanders, but no blood flowed. As the friends
of the deceased would not permit him to examine the body, he
could give no certain opinion of the cause of his death. leis most
probable that he died by apoplexy. T'aere were no tr.arks of vio-
lence on his person.
The Jury returned a verdict—" Died by the visitation of God."
Another Inquest was also held before the same Coroner, at the
Bricklayers' Arms, Kingsgate-street, Holborn, oc the body of
I Thomas Carter.
It appeared from the evidence of Henrietta Smith, daughter-in-
law to the deceased, that he was labouring under an asthmatic
complaint. and on Friday night went to bed at the accustomed
time. The following morning, before he got up, he complained of
being unwell. Witness's mother went fur Mr. Turner, • medial
gentleman •ho had atter.ded the deceased for several years ; she
remained in her father's room. Before the surgeon torived she
perceived a visible change had taken place, and he was in strong
corn olsions. By the time Mr. Turner anieeil, he b.icame
sensible.
Mr. Turner, of Ring-street, Holborn, stated, he attended abort'
half-past eight o'clock on Saturday inoroiog, without any loss of
time. On examining the deceased hr Goma }ins quite slead.
Witness saw the deceased the day previntiv to his damn; he lieu
had s eat of coughing. Witness recommended Alm to be bid, but
be disregaried his advice. He had heist labouring ,Iry an
asthma for some time, with a determination of the blood to 111
bead. Witness has rot the slightest doubt he died by apoplexy.
crdict—" Died by the visitation of God."
