OwSaturday evade( as Inquisition wee taken in the
Board -RPolo of the Middlesex Moe Plat, before Thames
Stirling, Esq. Coroner, on view of the bodies of Mrs. Eliza-
beth Ginned!, aged 40, and Elise Glen mill, her daughter,
a child 18 menthe old, who were killed by the falling of an
old house at the corner of Maddox end RegeoCatreets, on
Tbetteday
Mr. John %invite, 'hobgoblin' sod father of the deceased
persons, whose distroosod• sietedion through grief excited
g• cowl consinieeration wee examined. He stated that he
was by trade a earpeater, sod bad possession of the house
given to him by Mr. Hill shoot three weeks pgo. He paid
rest. He sever received any notice of the danger him•
self, though he did not think it perfectly safe. He bad left
the house about seven miasma before it fell. Hie deceased
wife. amid infant had left lb* he... soon after, also hie
ton about ten yeses old ; the latter retuned Into the
house again to fetch a favourite pigeon. He remained
for some time in the house, and his wife being alarmed,
went hack again to call him, when the beam fell at
the moment shegut to the door, and barked her and her in-
fant underneath. The boy valentine a "'prof three quarters
of en hour, taken out alive, bet had received several severe
contusions, and is now in the Hospital likely to recover.
The Coroner said it was the duty of the pariah officers, as
well as private Individuals, to prevent all nuisances, and to
prefer bills of indictment against the owners, and if they
. did their duly, such melancholy circumstances would never
take place. In his opinion no sort of blame was attributable
to the Commissioners of the New Street, or their agents.
After some further discard.' the Jury returned the fol-
lowing verdict-0 That the death or the deceased persons
was caused by the falling of a ruinous house, and that
greet blame was 'abscised to some person or persons un-
known to the Jurors fur not preventing the continuance of
the nuisance."
On Thursday, the 18th lastest, an Inquest was taken at
Barrowby, Lincolnshire' before George White, Geol. Co.runer, on the body of Eliza Suestb,.. • child about three
years of age, who bed been burnt to death by her clothes
secidentalty catching fire donut the asuateitary absence
of her mother;—and at Castborpe, the same day, on the
body of William Burton, a fusing man in the service of
Mr. Keynes, of that place, who, while employed in paring
a wheat hovel, accidentally fell from the ladder on which
he was standing, with the manioc-knife in his hand,
which pointing upwards as be fell to the ground, pierced his
body above the right beetle mad rpeoselsog upwards, mile
an incisiorrof cen•iderable depth, at once 'operating two of
his ribs and his windpipe, and oceashanieg almost immediate
death. The poor young man, from a momentary Impulse,
sprang upon hie feet and uttered an ejaculation, brat no
sooner had he done so, than, as one of hut fellow.laboureve
expressed it, " he ailed sway, and fell to rise no more."
The verdict of the Jury in each of thedsboie easy was
" Accidental Death."
On Tuesday last another Inimulgetsellifillatibeffieret tb?eante

who hanged himself with a neekbanal osetAr of whit-leather.

instate and was found only on Monday efierniton last, lying
among the straw in a hovel beimetinx to Mrs. Harris, of
Castle Bythain, with the bind round his neck, and part of
it suspended to a pole at the top of the bowel, whence* it was
coueluded that the weight of his body bad brukeu the string,
and that be had fallen down entoog the straw where be re-
mained so long undiscovered. It appeared in evidence
that the deceased had Wag laboured under • wreetal Ilia
lion; that be had left bis father's house at Gristliest" in the
early part of the month and proceeded to Staniturd, end
that when there he had taken laudanum. After that lie

a few days, but could scarcely be made to eat or drink any
thing during the elude time, complaining that he was very ill,
but refusing to take the benefit of medical aid. On the Sa-
turday, while his brother was gone to 'starlet, he took the
opportunity of committing this fatal art. The Jlll/31 felUril.

An legnest wall held our Moodily stOnnight at Nether
Stuwey, Sumersetshire, on the body of Sarah IValfurd, aged
49. The deceased had been cohabiting for some months
past with • mate waned James Thresher, and they had re-
cently bad words, in c)nsequeuce of the man refusing to
Imarry her, which he declined doing fur the silleeed reason
. that she was in dell ; and on Sunday morning they pa.ted
by a sort of nistual convene The unfortunate weman went
to seek lodgings, but did not seeceed, and she was discovered
near Thresher's lodging the following morning suspended
by a rope toe willow tree. There was out the sheltiest evi-
dence to prove derangement of intellect at any period of
her life tap to Sunday one o'clock, which was the last
time she was seen ; and the Jury, comistior of thielein,
milk one dissentient, returned a verdict of Felts de ell.
l'he Corosirr it.sued his warrant fur interment accordingly,'
which was duce the morning after the Inquest, at Bincumbe
Cross.

A shocking event occurred in this town, anon after nine
un Nlontlay night. John Davies, a pump-maker, re.
Ming on St. John's-bill, had • qrtarrel with his wife,
weeasiorted, it is said, by a dog, to which 11w man had thrown
isuma.sseat. Persons residing in the same house, and in one
,ssolligsouti, Were alarmed by the sluice of something falling
dews upon the stairs, and on visiting the spot, Mrs. Davies
eta found at the bottom of the stairs : on raising her head,
lasted flowed from her mouth. Surgical assistance was almost
'imstantly obtained ; but the fall hail occasioned a sleep con-
tusion uo the back of the head, with an extensive fracture ;
and the surgeons afterwards discovered thus the besin was
covered wish coagulated blood. The woman never spoke,
but expired is three boor* •fier.
Meaowlule Mts. Price (wills whom Davies and his wife
lodged), stepped over the body, and rushing into Davies 's
room, found him in bed ; the constables tend patrol then
took him in custody, when it was discovered that he was not
wholly undressed. lie stated that his wife hail !turmoid to
scratch hint, end, that on her retreating to the dour, he push-
ed her, and she fell down stairs. The only stifle.* to the
transaction is a sun, aged 30, who wail then in bed in the
same room, but he (having a wooden leg whirls was &henna-
fastened), was unable to plevelit the catastrophe. II is proper
Wolin., that the suits descend at about the distance of snag
Iwo feet from the openitig of the room door ; shut there is
nu balustrade whatever, and that no iron pot, which was
placed to hold water at the lop attic Stairs, was heard fall-
ing from stair to Mani after the unfortunate yeoman.
A Coroner's Jury, after having twice adjuirined for 11. e
purpose of oblainiug additional witnesses Out from shy ilif-
feiroce of opinion, as it has been improperly stated) brought
in a verdict of " Murder." The man has hero accualoMed
to quarrel with his family, when in liquor only. This is the
fourth person of the name who has been accidentally killed
near the seine spot within six mduilia.--( Arne:bury Chro-
nicle )

The 73J regiment, under the command of Major Hum.
ploy, marched from Chichester on Fittlay last on their
route to Meant) Barrack., to the great regret of the officers,
who during their stay in th-1 city rereir.ll the moat marked
attent.ou from the inivilutsnts, but more especially tons
those connected with the army.
The North Lincoln militia, having completed this year's
training, wire disbanded on Tuesday, suit left Lincoln
fur their respectire homes. Previonvly to their being dia-
handed, the result of a court-martial which had hero held
on Neigeatit•majoe Pilgrim was read at the head of the regi.
meat. Three charges had been preferred against him, and
he was Noud guilty on two of them. The srolpweir, we
understand, was, that be should be broken into the ranks
for six months.— Lieutenant-Colonel Ellison, commander of
this regiment iu the absence of Coloael Lord Milsingtowa,
expressed his approbation at the very great progress made
by the men in their mailer, exerciser, and indium!, good
conduct.
