Some additional testimony was then adduced, shon • .
that the railway company had done all in their powwier:, t-
prevent such lamentable accidents, the utmost care and
caution being used.
The Coroner, in summing up, pointed out the importance
of great caution in such matters as the shunting of carriages,
ani the room having been cleared, the jury consulted for
some time, and ultimately returned the following verdict :
—" That the death of the deceased was accidentally caused,
but the jury strongly recommend that no repairs, however
slight, be done to carriageson the line upon which carriages
are to be shunted, unless notice be previously given to the
shunter."

Mr. Pilgrim, who attended on behalf of the company,
said he would attend to the recommendation of the jury.

Prince Paul Esterhazy, who is in his 77th year,
fell a few days ago, while walking in his room at Cm-lsbad,
and broke his leg.

After a couple of failures the lot got off on pretty good
terms, with the exception of Rosabella and The Quaker,
-whtt'were Tett considerably in the rear. The running was
made by Commander, who was closely pressed by True
Blue, Peru, Mermaid, and Spicebox. Crossing the road,
Spicebox drew forward, and immediately afterwards Com-
mander held out signals of distress, and rapidly retiring,
Peru, True Blue, Mermaid, and Spicebox came on in a
line. Half-way up the straight, True Blue quitted her op-
ponents, and won easily by five lengths ; a head divided
second and third. Spicebox was a good fourth, Rosa-
bella was last throughout, and The Quaker finished last
but one.

After several false attempts, caused by Regenerator,
Hilly Grove, and Blanche of Lancaster being too anxious
to get away, cans ifig a delay of nearly an hour, the favou-
rite, Blanche or Lancaster, Dictator, Miss Edmondson,
and Regenerator showed in front. At the quarter of a
mile post, Kennet and Hilly Grove drew forward, and a
splendid race ensued from the road crossing ; the favourite,
however, answered every call made upon him, and won
cleverly at last by a couple of lengths. A desperate race
for second honours resulted in a dead heat between Ken-
net and Hilly Grove; Miss Edmondson was a good fourth.

left in the rear. At the road-crossing, Rhcebus closed with
The Don, and the pair went up the straight head and head.

immediately he did so, Mr. Lawson commenced riding

cheon Tavern, Bloomfield-street, Finsbury-circus, touch-
ing the death of Mr. Thos. Lock, aged 62, who committed

resided at No. 1, Bell-square, Finsbury =circus, of which
house he had formerly been the owner. About 18 months

preyed greatly upon his spirits, and shortly afterwards his
wife died, when his mina became so much affected that he
was deprived of a lucrative situation which he held in the
City- He then separated himself from his family and took
effectually, lodgings in his old house, where he seemed so distracted at
