On Friday afternoon, an inquisition was taken at th°
Black Horse public house, Tottenhim Court-road, be-
fore Thos. Stirling, Esq. Coroner for Middlesex, on the
body of Mr. Abraham Slade, late of that place, purveyor
of meat to her late Majesty, Queen Caroline.--Mrs.
Eamon, of 63, Edgeware-road, stated, that on Tuesday -
week, between eight and nine o'clock in the evening,
as she was sitting in her shop, she heard a noise in the
street, which was shortly after followed by an exclatna-
Lion of " For.Gud's sake take it off, for I ant killed !"
On going into the street, she saw the deceased led along
by two men ; he complained of a hurt in his head, and
expressed his fears that his leg was broken. A gentle-
man asked how the accident happened? to which he
replied, that he was driving towards home in his gig,
when he discovered something amiss with mite harness,
and he was standing by the side of his chaise, adjusting
it, when a stagecoach, which was dro-ittg along at a fu-
rious pace, ran down both him and his vehicle, although
there was room enough for the driver to pass without
coining in contact with him. A little further on, wit-
ness saw a coach lying on its side in the middle of the
road, and she also observed two females. whom she be-
lieved were passengers, and had fainted front the edicts
of the injuries they had received ; as soon as the coach
was got up, the driver mounted the box, and rode away,
taking no further !mime of tile deceased.—Mr. Saunders,
also livinitin the Edgeware.road, was alarmed by a noise
which induced him to run into the street, with a light- •
ed candle, which, however, was unfortunately blown
out. lie saw the deceased lying under his own horse
and gig, which were overturned, and a stage coach was
forcing theni along, but the coachman in endeavonring .
to get clear of the gig was also overturned. He did not
know to whom the coach belonged, hut he knew the
name of the ratan whom he 113 W with it (-sod who he sins-
posed was the driver), to be Thom as Stratford; he was
in the employ of Messrs. Kutner, proprietors of the
Bayswater couches; he was not a regular coachman,
_but several times was occasionally permitted to drive.
—Mr. Morris a coach owner, was called, and proved
that the coachman iii question was tint (as supposce) in
his service, but with Airs. Knitter, st Bayswater, ta!ot
acted for Mr. Cottle!, the real owner. He added, that its
consequence of the present regidation of the city, wilco
toconvenience was felt by the propricto s. lie produced
some documents explanatory of these inconvenience*,
and the Jury said they would take them into their con-
sideration, and come to a presentment on the subject
A great number of other witnesses were examined, front
whose testimony it was ascertained that the driver au:l
itis companions had left a public boost: for the purpose
of driving about for pleasure.—TheJury suit they w0u...1
come to no conclusion until every step had been Ja ken to
prove the i.lemity of the driver, that lie might be brougbt
to justice.—Nlr. Stirling observed, that he was of toe
saute opinion, and the Jury accordingly adjourned till
next we. k.
