DISTRESSING AND MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.

•-•—
[From the Devot-I:777lrteholder.]

On Saturday night last, between eleven and twelve o'clock, the
inhatitante of Iffichinonthstreet and its neighbourhood were alarmed
by the report that a men had fallen or had been thrown from the
window of a house of ill-fame in Richmond street, occupied by
girls of the town. Several persons in consequence rushed to the
spot. and found in the hack court of the house above-mentioned
the body of a man, apparently dead, with a quantity of blood, da...
shout the stones of the court. He was instantly conveyed to the
neaten public-house, the Richmond Inn, placed in • bed, and
medical assistance immediately sent for. Dr. Baldy, with the
greatest promptitude, arrived in a few minutes,and administered
every possible relief. It was soon discovered that life was not totally
extinct, but though animation was restored, very little hopes were
entertained of his final recovery. It was soon aseennined that the
name of the unfortunnte man was John Burch, that he was a ship-
wright in his lilsjesty's Dock-yard, and that he resided ip Stone-
ham& Early so the Sunday waning. intimation was given to his
wife, of the melancholy' caserand she, In company with Ids mother,
'arrived at the Muse. almost in a state of distraction, and was
la-
stantly conveyed to the room where the unfortunate man lay in a
state of insensibility; it would be impossible to paint the agony
and grief of hie friends. Or. Bakly paid the gamest attention,
calling several dines, but still expressed himself that lie feared he
could not recover r be lay in a state next to death, daring the Sun-
day—his left side appeared from the fret completely dead, but ha
moved his right side at ditfetent periods, as if in great agony ; In
this melancholy and deplorable state, not haring spoken, nor in the
remotest degree noticing the wars, cares, and attention of his wife
and friends, he remained till nearly twelve o'clock on Sunday
night, when he expired. The deceased was twenty-seven yam of
age, helm left a disconsolate wife and one child, who, with his
parents, will long mount the unfortunate occurrence. Re seared
his amendaship in the Dock-yard. to a shipwright, and has
worked there till his death; his clutracter in the Yard, we hear, is
unimpeachable.
Mary Ann Lucraft and Peggy Withins, better known as Cornish
Ann, the former of whom it appeared he accompanied to her resi-
dence, the scene of the tragical event, and the latter having been
head to use violent language during the quarrel that *mareded,
were both taken into custody and confined in the Guildhall prison.
R. J. SQUIRE, I:sq., the Coroner, having been brought ac-
quainted with the melancholy affair, issued his precept on the
Mowing day (Monday) for the putpue of holding an inquest on
the bod
-Evidence
having been adduced,
The Jury, after consulting half an hoar, stated to the Coroner
that twelve of them had agreed on a verdict, but the thirtcauh
would not agree.
The verdict of the twelve was recorded by the Coroner, and which
was, " That the deceased accidently fell from the window of a
house in Start court, in Riehmond-lane, on the night of Saturday
last, and by such fall he received a violent bruise and concussion of
the brain, and which was lac cause of his death, after liegaing till
Sunday night."
Twelve of the Jury signed the above verdict, the other still re-
[mining of a different opinion.
There being no evidence against Lucraft, after remaining In cue-
tody till Wednesday, she was discharged. The other girl, Cornish
Ann, we believe was discharged on Monday.
I The Jury met the Coroner again on Weclneaday night d the
t greatest part of the evidence was again read to them, but the Jury-
' man, whose name is Legaasick, • cord stainer, still persisted in not
giving his sanction to the recorded verdict.
