TION.—Yesterday Dr. Ls.nkester held an inquest in
the House of Correction, Cold-bath-square, Clerkenwell,
touching the death of John James Brakington, alias Van
Buren, aged 27, a prisoner. It appeared that the deceased,
who was very respectably Connected,
was in
prison on a
charge of felony. He wax settenced to three months' im-
prisonment, which would have terminated on Saturday
next. Ever since he was in prison, he had been in the in-
firmary, where he received every attention, but which was
without any beneficial effect, and he died on the 6th inst.,
from disease of the lungs, the result of intemperate habits.
Verdict—" Natural death.'
'J HE LATE EXECUTION IN LONGFORD.—It is
stated in a northern Paper that when the unfortu-
nate hangman who did his business in such a bungling way
in the execution of M'CorirLick was recognised on his way
through Longford, in company with a policeman, to the
railway station, ho was hooted and stoned by the mob.
Having taken shelter in the Police-barrack, he proceeded
next morning to Edgewerth's-town, to take the train.
It was 17 yearn since the last execution in Longford, and
there was a popular impression that one .of the turnkeys
had officiated on the occasion, and would do so again in
an impression which, though utterly
M'Cormick's cage—
false, exposed the family of the turnkey to great odium
and danger ; and, in order to obviate the mischief as far
as possible, the governor of the gaol had all the turnkeys
placed outside, in front of the drop, during the execution,
so that the people might
leave ocular demonstration that
neither of tir.r. Was the hangman,
