CORONER'S INQUEST.
DREADFUL AcctuF.srT.--Yeaterday a respectable Jury were
assembled before Richard Carter, Esq. the Coroner for Surrey, at
the Newington Anns, in King-street, Luck's-field, W'alworth, on
the body of Thomas Humphreys, a young lad, killed on Tuesday
last by a one-horse cart.
It appeared from the testimony.of the witnesses, that at the time
of the accident, the cart was being drove at a moderate pace: the
deceased lad suddenly ran across the road as the cart pt.sed, and
coining in contact with the shaft of the vehicle, he was instantly
knocked down, when the wheel went overbill head, and killed hint
on the spot. The Coroner and Jury took considerable pains during
the investigation, to ascertain whether at the time of the occurrence
any blame was attributable to the driver, or if the cart was proceeding
at a furious rate. The witnesses, however were of opinion there
was no neglect on the part of the driver, and the Jury, lamenting
the untimely death of deceased, returned a verdict--Accidentally
killed. l)eodand on the wheel. 20s.
The driver was now called in, and addressed by the Coroner in
very forcible terms, respecting the deceased being killed by his
cart ; and informed, that had the evidence proved that he was driving
at a furious rate, the Jury must have returned such a in Tibet as
in all probability, before another tribunal, would have produced
a severe punishment. Such, however, was not the fact in this
case, and he (Mr. Carter) hoped he would act with due caution for
the future. The young man seemed to feel the remarks made by
the Coroner, and promised to defray all expenses attending the dc..
ceased's funeral.

. .
Two cases of sudden death occurred here (dinburgh)
on Saturday. About twelve o'clock a travelling ch.apulau
sat down on a seat near Springfield, on Leith-walk, and
almost immediately fell to the ground. Some persona
passing ran down to the Kirkgate, Leith, and brought a
xurgeoo, but life was extinct before they arrived. About
half an hour after, an old man, who was employed in
holding a pole with a lottery placard, in front of the
Register-oOke, dropped down, and expired a few minutes
after.
