have caused the accident.
The Coroner having sumintni up, the jury, after
deliberating about an hour, ret va "ned the following
verdict :—" We find that the deceased William Reed
came to his death by accident, and we believe that
the engine left the rails in conseqa, 9nce of the de-
fective state of the road, which we e‘ Insider mainly
attributable to the use of the engit les known as
Crampton's patent."
The Coroner said that was equivalent to a ver-
dict of accidental death, He 'would take that
opportunity of stating that no sort of imputation
rested on the deceased William Reed. His charac-
ter had been beyond reproach; and he had been the
best driver in the company's en: ploy.

7HE ALLEGED DEATH FROM VIOLENCE
A 7 SHOREDI7 CH.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. H. R. WaltliCw, the
deputy-coroner for East Middlesex, resume,' the
adjourned inquiry at the Suffolk Arms TaVern,
Boston street, Hackney-road, Shoreditch, touching
the death of Mary Ann Jones, aged 22, the wife of
a hawker residing at 65, Boston-street, who, it was
alleged, had died from violence.
At the former inquiry it was stated that the de-
ceased and her husband were heard quarrelling by
the neighbours at a late hour on Tuesday night, the
7th inst., when screams of Police—Murder ! issued
from the house. The deceased was immediately
afterwards seen outside the door in front of the
house. Tho husband, it was said, struck her a vio-
lent blow with his clenched fist several times, when
she exclaimed " Oh, don't kill me." hTe repeated
the blows, when she said "Don't strike my head—
you are murdering me." He then went inside the
house and closed tho door. Deceased walked up to
the front door, and called to a girl who acted as
their servant " Mary give me the baby ; I will make
away with myself, and trouble him no more." The
quarrel lasted a considerable time, and on the fol-
lowing morning deceased's eye was much swollen
and blackened. The deceased was taken ill on the
9th and died on the 11th.
Mr. Pitt, surgeon, of Hackney-road, said that he
had made a post-mortem examination of the body,
and the immediate cause of death was inflammation
of the brain, and the cavity of the chest was gorged
with fluid. The inflammation of the brain might
have been the result of a blow, but there was no
external violence. When he first saw the deceased
she complained of sickness and had a contused eye.
She said that she had struck her head against the
mantlesheif.
By the Deputy-Corover—The deceased might
have died from natural causes, and similar post-
mortem appearances would be presented.
Other witnesses were examined,who gave evidence
of a conflicting character.
The husband of deceased was also examined, and
denied having struck her, but adtuitted the quarrel.
The jury returned a verdict of--Died from con-
gestion of the brain, accelerated by the ill-treatment
of the husband.
