DEATH OF A BARRISTER FROM A.

FRAC? URED NOSE.

Yesterday an inquest was held before Dr. Lan-
kester, the coroner, at the Lord Wellington Tavern,
University-street, Tottenham-court-road, to inquire
into the circumstances of a singular death from a
fractured nose. The subject of the inquiry was a
barrister named Matthew Crawford.
Dr. George Bird deposed that he had known the
deceased gentleman for many years. He was a
barrister, in somewhat reduced circumstances, and
73 years of age. Two years ago he was run over
by a cab, and, singular to say, he met with a simi-
lar accident, which caused his death, on the 3d in-
stant. On Tuesday last the deceased called upon
witness, and stated as well as he could that he had
been run over by a cab in the street. He was un-
able to articulate distinctly, and was evidently
labouring under an incipient attack of lockjaw.
Witness sent him immediately to University Col-
lege Hospital, and went himself to the hospital,and
remained with him till his death, which took place
at a quarter past 6 o'clock the same evening. The
accident from which he suffered was a fracture of
the bones of the nose. That prevented his breath-
ing by the nose, and the jaw being firmly closed, he
breathed with the greatest difficulty from his
mouth ; and this accounted for his rapid sinking.
There was no doubt that the unfortunate gentleman
was run over by a cab.
Mrs. A. Guttridge, of 23, Victoria•terrace, Port-
land Town, stated that the deceased had lodged
with her for the last 3 years. He was velyt near-
sighted. lie had recently left her to go iellek°:bil:
