EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.—Yesterday, Mr. W. Carter,
coroner for East Surrey, held an inquest, which lasted
several hours, at Mr. R. Thomas's, Holland Arms,
Brixton•road, on the body of John Hanagan, a plasterer,
aged 32. David Hannagan, the first witness called, de-
posed that he was a cousin of the deceased, who lived
with his mother, at No. 36, Chapel-street, North
Brixton. About five years ago the deceased was en-
gaged in a fight, at Woolwich, and received a severe
blow in the throat, which rendered a surgical opera-
tion necessary. The operation was performed at Guy's
Hospital, a silver tube being placed in his throat,
through which he breathed, instead of through his mouth
and nostrils, and when he wanted to speak he had to
put his finger on the tube to prevent the air from escap-
ing. He (deceased) had also a silver instrument called
a key, to keep the tube clean, but which he had lost
about twelve months since. On Monday night last he
(witness) had been drinking with the deceased at a beer-
house, when he appeared perfectly well. Witness upon
returning home, being rather intoxicated, fell asleep,
by
i
but was shortly afterwards awakened is
. aunt,
who told him that deceased was dying, and he imme-
diately ran for a surgeon, but on his return found he
had expired. Mary Hannagan, the mother of deceased,
stated that on the night ies
n qution she told her son
to go and " wash " (meaning to clean out the silver
tube in his throat), for which purpose he retired into
the back yard, but shortly afterwards came running
in, saying, "Oh ! mother, kiss me, for I am a dead man !,.
and immediately fell down and expired. By the coroner :
He had been in the habit of cleaning the tube twice a day
with the silver key, but since he had lost it had used a
piece of stick instead. She was of opinion that while try-
ing to clean out the tube the piece of stick had stuck in it.
Mr. F. B. Gatty, surgeon, of 3, Elizabeth-place' Brixton-
road, deposed that on Monday night last he was called
upon to see the deceased ; and on his arrival found him
lying on the floor quite dead. Upon examination he
(deceased) had undergone an operation into the wind-
pipe, and discovered in the opening a silver tube inserted,
in which was a piece of willow wood, which he, witness,
immediately extracted. Upon attempting to remove the
silver tube he found that it had been broken in half. He
was of opinion that death had been caused by some large
artery being cut into either by the piece of wood, or by
the broken portions of the tube. By the Coroner—The
stick being in the tube would not of itself have caused
immediate death.—Sarah Flanagan, a sister of deceased,
aged 11 years, stated that she had often heard her
brother remark that the pipe in his throat wasearly
worn out, and that if it once broke he would be a. dead
man. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental
death."
FOREIGN RABBITS.—The Lords Commissioners of
her Majesty's Treasury having received and considered
the application from an eminent importer and salesman
of Leadenhall-market, requesting Ithat rabbits, alive or
dead, may be admitted to enter free of duty, their lord-
ships have directed Mr. Hamilton, one of the Secretaries
to the Treasury, to acquaint the Commissioners of Cus-
toms that their lordships are of opinion that rabbits,
not being specifically mentioned in the schedules of the
act Bth and 9th Victoria, chap. 90, must be held to be-
long to the class of goods unenumerated, and not, either
in part or wholly, manufactured, and as such are, under
the existing tariff, duty free on importation into this
country. In pursuance of this decision of the Lords of
the Treasury, the Customs' authorities have issued a
general order to their officers at the several ports in the
kingdom, directing the delivery of foreign rabbits is
future free of duty,
