CORONER'S INQUESTS.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON BRIXTON HlLL.—Last night an
inquest was held in the Board Room of St. Thomas's Hospi-
tal, on the body of Frederick Slade, aged 57, who was killed
by the upsetting of the one horse fly of which he was the
owner.—Verdict, " Accidental Death." The deceased has
left a widow and family.
Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, the Co.
rover for Surrey, and a respectable jury, at the White Hart,
Union-street, Southwark, on the body of John M'Cabe, of
the firm of Messrs. Gilbert and John M'Cabe, wholesale far-
riers, of No. 58, Union-street, who destroyed kimself on
Wednesday morning last, by shooting himself through the
head with a musket.

Verdict—" Temporary Insanity.
Yesterday evening, at six o'clock, an inquisition was taken
by Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, and before a highly respec-
table Jury, in the Board-room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
on view of the body of Caroline Bath Every, aged six, who
came by her death by being knocked down by a cab.
The evidence completely exculpated the driver of the cab
from all blame, and the jury, after some consultation, returned
a verdict of " Accidental Death."
The Coroner then ordered that the driver of the cab should
be immediately discharged from Giltspur-street compter,
where he had been detained.

Another inquiry was held before the same Jury on the body
of Thomas Beer, aged nine, who died from the dreadful inju-
ries he had received from his clothes catching fire. Verdict
—" Accidental death."

A third inquest was held at the same hospital, and before
the same jury, on the body of Daniel Degvillion, aged four,
who died of the injuries he received from a cup of scalding
tea. Verdict—" Accidental death."

THE NEWMANs.—The above-named convicted
prisoners, who were tried at the last Old Bailey Sessions,
and sentenced to fourteen years' transportation each (and
whose trials must be fresh in the recollection of our
readers), have been fortunate enough to have their sentences
commuted to imprisonment in the Penitentiary, Millbank.
On their removal there last week the usual dresses for per-
sons confined in the prison under similar situations were
placed on them ; arid, from its peculiarity of shape and colour,
was designated by the younger prisoner as a " masquerade
dress." Both mother and daughter are still kept separate. A
material alteration in their appearance has taken place since
their late trials at the Central Criminal Court. It is believed
that their imprisonment will not be of long duration.
