This inquiry attended with eircums4ances of painful

being thrown from Hs horse. The deceased'- sister, a pro-

tw&ve month's since by b.ieg pu.hA down stairs by a lu-
natic, who was his patient ; no less thau four
violent dea-hs in one family.
Ann Morris, a m,tried woman, a nurse, and in the ser-
vice of Mrs. Forster, of 13,11 size-lane, Hampstead, stated
that her hu?bane was coachman to Mrs. Forster. She tid
not know the dec:NaSed gentl,-man befure Tues:lay last.
He was then ot, horsb and the horse was coming at a
very rapid rate from the direction of Mr. Wright's, the
banker's hous,!. Mrs. Forster was at the window, and slit
exclaimed, ‘• Oh nurse, here is a horse running away."
The deceased feil from the horse about the middle of the
lane, near the cott:ge gate. Witness ran out instantly,
and Smith, Mr. • Parson's gardener, was supporting him in
his arms. The deceased was not dead, but was quite in-
sens:ble ; Hood was flowing from his ear. The deceased
alas taken into th r cottage of Mr. Walker, and Mr.
Davis, a surgeon, sent for. He arrived in about twenty
minutes, and immediately bled the deceased, who did not
appear at all to revive under that operation. The accident
happened about six o'clock, and she staid with the deceased
at Mr. Walker's cottage till about seven: She heard the
unfortunate gentleman had died about two o'clock in the
morning. She has not heard what canned the horse to

WEST CORK MINING COMPANY

The Half-yearly- General Meeting of the Share
holders of this Company,. took place yesterday at
• their offices in New Broad-street-court. E. WARNER,
Esq. in the Chair.
The minutes of the last meeting- were road, at which,
it was recommended that the Directors should proceed
with vigour in the leyll proceedings, to recover the
property of which the Company considered they had
been unjustly deprived.
An Abstract of the Accounts was presented, from
which it appeared that of 1,6204 which had been re-
ceived, a small balance remained in hand.
A SHAREHOLDER asked if it was not usual to have
report on such occations.
The CRAfasteiN said there was in fact nothing to
report—for while the law proceedings were going on,
the mines were perhaps filled with water.
The adoption of the accounts having been moved and
carried,
A SHAREHOLDER inquired if CO information might
be expected as to tLe law proceedings ?
The CHAIRMAN s lid, th.►t the Irish Lord Chancellor
having decided against the Company, it had been re-
solved to appeal from that decision to the House of
Lords.

By the CORONER Ilts heard the horse belonged to Mr.
Walker. The accident happened close to that gentleman's
gates. The deceased seemed to have no command of the
horse. The horse ran away after the deceased fell; the
deceased fell on his head. The horse appeared to stop
suddenly when oppodto Mr. Walker's house ; the deceased
then fell off, awl th,,n the horse Started again. She does
not think the deceased had the reins tightly in hand when
the accident happened.
Afttr some further evidence to the same effect,
The CORONER said the case was a very melancholy one,
but the facts were perfectly clear ; it was such a one as too
often happened by persons riding horses with which they
were unacquainted. There Was no doubt the deceased was
getting on the horse when she started off, and he was un-
able to check her.

A SHAREHOLDER inquired on what ground that ap-
peel was presented
The CHAIRMAN said it had been founded on the fist
sentence (chiefly) in Lord Piunket's judgment :—" I
hate no difficulty in deciding this case, because, from
the amount of property involved, I believe it wi'l be
submitted to another tribunal."—(Laughter.) From
that it would appear that Lord Plunkett was rather
doubtful of his own judgment. The appeal would he
heard in the course of the present Session.
A SHAREHOLDER expressed a great desire that the
litigation which had been carried to such an enormous
extent, and at such heavy expence, should be put an end
to by some amicable arrangement.
The CHAIRMAN said he feared it was too late, parti-
cularly as the decision of the Irish Chancellor had given
60.000/, to the other party, and it was almost impossi-
ble to settle that point amicably.
A SHAREHOLDER said he knew the present Lord
Audley (with whom the Company are at law) was sin-
cerely desirous of coming to some amicable settlement,
OR condition that he was not to he made responsible
for the deeds of peraons who had acted as the repre-
sentatives of his father.
The CHAIRMAN said the Directors were quite willing to treat with any parties who were authorized to offer a
settlement. But believing, as he did, that the Com-
pany had a just right to he property litigated, they
did consider that from them any overture ought not.
to be exptcted—(Hear, hear)—and until any such over-
ture was made by the opposite party, the Directors
were determined to conduct the appeal vigorously, and
energetically, and perseveringly.--( Hear, har.)
.The Meeting then separated.

The Jury immrdia'ely returned a verdict of" Accidental
death."

Mr, WHITTLE finally withdrew his motion, when
Mr. RICHARDSON moved that the meeting should not
only expel these genvemen, but pass a vote of censure
on them.

This motion was lost by a majority of 6 ; and a reso-
lution 'that a sufficient apology had been already made
was passed by a majority of 7.
Dr. TAYLOR said he would call the notice of the
meeting to the many misstatements which had taken
place in that most extraordinary Newspaper, the Bir-
mingham Journal, whether from accident or design
he could not say. But it was hard to account for the
many false reports which were put forth by that Paper.
They had lately stated that only 600,000 signatures
were yet obtained to the petition, when it was known
to every person that they amounted to nearly 1,100,000;
and it also stated that Lanarkshire sent only 3,000,
whereas the numbers were really 83,000.
Mr. RICHARDSON opposed a motion of Mr. Harney's,
which went to call for simultaneous meetings on Good
Friday throughout the country.
The motic n was ,negatived.—After passitg the Trea-
surer's accounts o.e etiog d ssolved.
