DEATH THROUGH SMOKING.--Dr. Birt Davies held
an inquest on Saturday afternoon, at Birmingham,
respecting the death of Thomas Smith, a builder, 58 years
of age, who resided at 299, Bellbarn-road. On the 15th of
August last the deceased went out into his garden. He
had a long pipe in his mouth, and as he was opening the
garden gate it came in contact with the bowl of the pipe
with such force that the end of it which he had in his
mouth went through his tongue. The deceased, overcome
by the pain, fell to the ground. His daughter, who was in
the house at the time, heard the deceased fall and went out
to him. She assisted him into the house, and sent for Mr.
Barrett, surgeon. That gentleman was soon in attendance,
and continued to attend the deceased. He went on well
for a fortnight, when an abscess formed under his tongue,
and he died on the 7th inst. from the effects of the injury.
The jury returned a; verdict of accidental death.
