man paid an eloquent tribute to the character and public
services of the late Duke of Newcastle, whose interest in
the subject of education he specially eulogized, and con-
cluded, amid loud applause, by expressing the pleasure
which it gave him to visit a country endeared to him by so
many recollections, and to discharge the duty which he had
now so imperfectly fulfilled,

The Rev. F. MORSE, Vicar of Nottingham, moved a
vote of thanks to Mr Lowe for his attendance and able

address.

In seconding the motion the Rev. D. Melvill, Canon of
Worcester, and one of the examiners, said that Oxford was
anxious to unite with Cambridge for the purpaso of these
examinations, but he was told yesterday, on high autho.,
rity, that, at present at all events, th© thing was hopeless.
The motion was carried, and Mr Lowe briefly acknow-
ledged the compliment.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the
Mayor for presiding.

The Mysterious Death in the Green Park,

ADJOURNED INQUEST.

Yesterday afternoon Mr Langham, deputy coroner for
Westminster, resumed the inquiry at the Westminster Hos-
pital respecting the death, from alleged violence, of George
King, late gas inspector, in the employ of the Chartered
Gas Company.
James _Hooper, of King Henry's-road, St John's-wood,
said he was in the Green Park between four and five on the
day of the occurrence, and saw a man lying on the grass ap-
parently asleep. Ile did not see him fall; he was lying on
his back, breathing heavily, and apparently insensible. He
thought the man was in a fit. A woman came up and said
she had:seen the man fall, and strike his head very heavily.
He jumped up, and again fell and struck his head another
violent blow.
A footman employed at Marlborough House confirmed
this statement.
Jesse Chew, of the Horse Shoe, King-street, remembered
tho deceased being brought to his house by two men. He
supplied him with some brandy. He did not see whether
he drank the brandy. He complained of having been
drugged.
By Mr Draper (for the friends of deceased)—His house
was much used by the police.
William Stanton, 47, Grosvenor-street,Pimlico, cabdriver,
said that on the 3d September, about half past four, ho Was
plying in the Haymarket, when the deceased came up to him
and spoke. He had a friend with him. Ile was then per-
I fectly sober.
Henry Beveridge, one of those who went to the police-
station on the morning after the occurrence, said ho asked
the inspector whether a doctor had seen him, He replied
in the affirmative, and said Dr M'Cann had reported that
the man was in liquor. He bailed him out.
Inspector Green deposed that he had visited him fre-
quently in the cell during the time ho was on duty, froc
twelve to three, but did not hear any noise as if ho were
throwing himself about. He did not enter the cell, but
looked through the little wicket, threw a light in, and saw
him lying there.
A Juror put several pertinent questions to the witness,
and said that from his answers he did not actually know
whether ho had seen deceased at all.
By Mr Wontner —IIe last visited the deceased about a
quarter to three, He was breathing at the time. He had
visited him five or six times, Inspector Bradshaw told wit-
ness that deceased had been to the hospital, and tho doctor
reported that he was drunk.
Inspector Bradshaw (recalled) repeated that he was on
duty when the deceased was brought in charged with bAng
drunk and disorderly. In his opinion he had been drink-
ing. He visited the deceased twice between seven and nine
in the cell. He appeared to be asleep and was breathing
heavily.
By Mr Wontner—He had never seen the deceased him-
self at the station looking after the gas meter, ho had been
told so. He spoke to the deceased, but could get nothing
from him but a groin.
By a Juror—When he saw the deceased first he did not
see any marks or bruises on the head or forehead. They
always looked at every man before ho was locked up.
Inspector Swanson deposed that he was on duty on the
morning when deceased was bailed. Ho positively denied
that the previous wilncss I-liveridge, when he came to bail

deceased, asked witness if the deceased had been seen by a
medical mar, and that he told him the divisional surgeon,
Dr. IWCann, of Parliament_street, had seen him, and had
reported that he was druck. If Beveridge bad sworn such
a fact, it was positively untrue.
By a Juror—When the deceased came from the cell to be
bailed he stood up in front of the desk. He did not observe
any wounds on the forehead or head.
By Mr Draper—The deceased's wife was outside the
station. She made no charge against the police that he had
been illtreWed and murdered by the police. He was positive
of that.
