Cork Sowtherw Reports"
Mr. Plunkett, with excellent judgment, has written a letter
to the Catholics, strongly recommending them not to press the dis-
cussion of their petition this &sail'''. Not often in the habit of
agreeing with the Irish Attorner-lier.cral in the Parliamentary
course which he takes, he will permit us to join him in opinion at
paint, hut perhaps for a very different reason from that which
prompts the advi.te he offers. We arc:. that the discussion of the
Catholic petition would h.: loilowed with no tenth but one,
the adding one argument more to dire which have been ahvady
urged against making Mr. Plunkett, or any other Alember of suet
a motley.. hooding Administration r the present, the presenter of
the evtlitilict petition to the House of commons. Even Plunkett
himself is sick of the farec.—frishnian.

DEATH OF SIR HENRI' CLEMENT THOMPSON.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

Yesterday on Inquest wits held in the King's Bench prison, be.
fore Peter Le Pipre, Em. Coroner for that prissy and its rules, or.
the body of Sir tlenry Clement Thompson, Dart. 11.. N. v.intinei!
therein.

The Jury were caromed of priinnert, sarong whom were Sir
Edwyn 11. Sandy. (a County Magic:rate), and Captain Richard
Butler.

They proceeded to the apartments occupied by the deceased,
whore body was still in bed. He had lost an ano in th service
of his country, it is supposed while serving under Lord Nelson,
and he was respected among his friends as an emerprising officer.
as well as an amiable• man. In consequence of interesting himself
too arduously in the election contests of the borough of Grantham
and Barnstaple, in which Sir Mantaisch Lopez was also concerned,
he became greedy embarrassed in his circumstances, and was
obliged at length to seek relief under the Insolvent Ikbturs' Act.
He was committed to this prison on the 11th of March, and had
been once before the Insolvents' Court, but in consequence of a
want of some papers, he was remanded, and ordered to be brought
up again on Saturday, the 29th instant, when it was expected he
would have been discharged out of custody.
Mr. Henry Miles Goulding, a surgeon confined in the King's
Bench prison, deposed, that on Saturday morning, about seven
o'clock, the deceased's servant came to him with a note, requesting
twenty drops of laudanum, with which he supplied him, knowing
Sir henry's state ; two hours afterwards witness was informed at
the gate that Sir Henry was gone, or going out upon a day-rule;
he heard no more of hint until about nine o'clock in ,the evening,
when he found Sir Henry surrounded by a number of gentlemen ;
he examined him, kut fitund he had been dead at least two hours,
and all the ettbets of the witness and the other medical gentlemen to
restore him were ineffectual.

Sir E. handys--Ilave you the letter ?
IVitneas—No; it was oily on a small piece of paper, and I did
not preserve it. . . _

Sir E.—lt is a point which ought to be cleared up; either the let.
ter ought to bo produced, or evidence given that the deceased
wrote it. I also beg to remark, that a medical gentleman ought to
be appointed by the Government to reside in the prison ; for where
duos are OW or PM pelossiewa, arch an officer is very necessary.
Every thing that the Marshal can do for the benefit of the prisoners
is done, but a medical gentleman ouglit always to be in readiness
in ease of an occurrence that requires immediate attendance.
Another of the Jury said, that there are generally some medical
gentlemen in the prison as prisoners, and if a person was appointed
by Government, it would bbeerreaave those gentlemen frost denying a
trilling emolument from their exertions while in the prison.
James Groontridge staled, that he has been in the habit for the
loot three weeks of going into the deceased's room to clean his
clothes, shoes, hat, arm. about seven o'clock in the morning ; on
Satunlay morning the deceased called him from another floor, about
half-past six o'clock, and wrote a note to Mr. Goulding, requesting
to have twenty drops of laudanum ; witness poi' the note, and a
shilling to pay for st ; Mr. Goulding poured about half a tes-apoon.
full into the wine-glass which he hail with him, but he refused to
take the matey. Witness did not see him take the laudanum, and
when he left the room the deceased was in bed ; he intended to go
out on a day-rule; he had complained of being poorly. Witness
never went for laudanum before ; he observed nothing in the de.
ceasted's conduct to lead to a belief that he was in an unsound state
of mind.

In answer to a question from the Jury, Mr. (Jou:ding said
twenty drops of laudanum was a very small dose.
Rebecca Smith stated, that she waited on the deceased ever since
he was in prison. On Saturday morning, about eight o'clock, sbe
whit to him, and he desired her to bring him a day rule ; he was
In bed, and moaned as if he was in pain ; she did nut know whether
be had taken any medicine, nor did she see a wine glass about the
room ; a few days before he had brought home a bottle of cakincd
magnesia and some medicine for the wind, with which lie was
troubled ; witness made him two basins of tl.a, which he drank ;
she saw nothing to indicate a depression of the sririts, or to induce
her to suppose he would 'lave destioyed himself.—) It was here sug-
gested that tberoom had better be searched, to endea..our to find
the wine glass and magnesia, which were soon produced. 1--Wit-
nes, went backwards and forwards until four o'clock in the after-
noon, which was the last time she saw him ; he was not in such
pain then ; lie was not in the habit of bolting his door when wit-
ness went out, but he did it on this occasion.

RE;WAllit.
MONli the very numerous Correspondents of the last
./A. week at JONATHAN W.% RitE.'X'S 141..1CK1N0 MA-
NUFACTORY, he is sorry to find persons addressing him on the
subject of having his Name chalked on the Walls in and about the
Metropolis. lie, in order to maintain that character which his
ettablishment has hitherto done (that of ranking ainorg the first
in the country), deviates that he has never done. nor will he
any act, which, in his opinion, would much lower him in the esti-
nation of an enlighttmed public. Tile nuisance occasioned by
such vile praetires, induces Jonathan Warren to otter a Reward to
any person who may detect others in writing his name on any Walls.
Jonathan It'arren likewise cautions the public against spurious
articles being sold under hia name, and that his only Establishment
is at 30, Hungerforti Stairs, Strand, where his genuine and only
original Blacking is sold wholesale ; and retail by every respect-
able ‘'etider in the l'nited iLingdom, in Bottles, Boxes, and Pots,
at Is. lid., Is., and lid. tacit.

Sir E. Sandy. said. that a very unpleasant report had gone
abroad that the unfortunate deceased had died by poison, and he
therefore thought., for the satisfaction of his friends, of the marshal,
•and of the public, that the body ought to be opened and
examined.

Alt. Goulding, the surgeon, stated, that such a report had gone
abroad, and in the present state he could net give any opinion as al
the cause of the death of the deceased t thereon: he thought Me
body ought to be examined, which *mid be a g 1 at satisfaction to
his friends..

A I ientleman stepped forward, and said all the information Sir
Henry U. Thompson's friends could obtain would be through him.
lit was supposed that all his friends were abroad
Sir E. Sandys.—l had the pleasure of kiaiwing the deceased, but
the case is so mysterious that a further examination of the body
ought to take place.
Another medical gentleman expressed the same opinion, and it
was put to the vote whether an adjournment should take place, for
the purpose of allowing time for the body to 6: opened, when
there appeared four for the examination, and eight against it ;
however, the Coroner thought wine farther evidence was necessary,
and adjourned the Jury for two hours; and Menu. Heath and
thudding, the two Silfat.o!lP, were requested by the Coroner to
open the body in thr interi:n.
At four o'clock the Jor y again met, and Mr. fintildinl stated,
that he, Mr. Merin, and 31r. Heath, had examined the deceased's
head, ar.il found a great quantity of ex:ravasated fluid or serum
between the coverings of the brain, and in the ventricles of the
brain an cfrusion had taken place to the extent of half a pint. The
Jura muter was unusually thickened, and several portions of lions
were mans' within it, and the theca vertibralis was ronsidvr-
ably inflamed: these produced apoplexy, which elmsed Mstatit
death. IVituesa never kt,ew a clearer ease of apoplexy, tnr even if
the deceased had been discovered threNly hr was attacked, all the
physicians in London could not have say..d
Mr. Thomas Hurrill, a surgeon. who also examined the deceased
with 31r. I Mulcting, corroborated that ',caiman's statement.
Joint Hitchcock, a carpenter, stated, that he wu sent fur to
break the deceased's door open, about nine o'clock on Saturday
night, as it was bolted inside; and on entering the room, saw the
deceased lying on the fluor on his right side, as if he had fallen
from the chair in a tit, and expired instantly. lie had been read-
ing the " History of Europe."
. . . .

Sir IL Sandy* said, tint. he hoped all the Jury would, through
the Coroner, request Mr. Jones, the Marslal, to apply to the
Judges of the 6mgs 'tench to have a medical gentleman appoint-
ed, with a salary, to reside in the prison. This was agreed to, and
the Vomiter said he would figwort' their wishes to the proper
quarter.
. . . . .

A. Juryman maid he luliered much a thing tram once before in
agitation, but the Marshal cnald not get any person willing to re-
side within the walls.

The .1 tar then returned a verdict, •• That the deceased died in a
fit of Apoplexy."
