SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. GEORGE FRANCIS,
LATE TREASURER AT ASTLEY'S.

CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE BODY.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. 'William Carter, the coroner
for East Surrey, held a lengthened inquiry, at the Mar-
quis of Wellington Tavern, South-street, Hercules-build-
ings, Lambeth, respecting the circumstances attending
the death of Mr. George Francis, aged 49 years, late
treasurer at Astley's Royal Amphitheatre and -Vauxhall
Gardens.
Mrs. Hannah Maria Knight, of 8, Canterbury-place,
Lambeth, said that the deceased resided in the next
house, with his wife and family. The preceding day
(Thursday), about four o'clock, she was called in to see
the deceased by his wife, when she found him in bed,
with his hands laid over his forehead. Messrs. Collam-
bell and St we'l, the surgeons, were called in, and they
pronounced life extinct. The deceased appeared to be
the over-night in a very healthy state, and she never
heard him complain of any affection. She had no rea-
son to think that deceased bad done anything to cause
his own death. He was a very kind father and hus-
band, and lived on the most affectionate terms with his
wife.
Sarah Cronin, a single woman, said that she was a
servant to the deceased. On Wednesday last her master
came home at, his usual hour to dinner, when he ap-
peared perfectly well. He left at six o'clock in the even-
ing, and she did not see hinge unfit
-Vaux half phall Gar-
ast eight
o'clock the next morning. : went to
dens on Wednesday eight, when he appeared quite well.
The next morning he complained of a pain in the chest,
when his wife applied mustard poultices to his stomach
and feet.
Mr. Frederick Giles, a biscuit baker, of the Black-
friars-road, said that he met the deceased at Vauxhall
Gardens on Wednesday night last, when he told him
that he was looking after Mr. Wardell, the manager,
and he seemed then rather dull. After that he appeared
very excited, and he ran afWr a man who had struck a
female. He did not consider that deceased had, how-
ever, received any injury in the gardens.
Mr. Charles Collambell, surgeon, of Lambeth-terrace,
Lambeth-road, said that ho was called in to see the de-
ceased the previous day, wh(in he found him quite dead.
His
opinion was that the cause of death was from some
vessel near the heart giving; way, probably accelerated
by excitement.
The learned coroner having summed up, the jury re-
turned a verdict of " Died from natural
causes."

some extent, but the home trade is flatter thanh os

have been discontinued, whit li must considerably abridge
production. And yet cotton , yarns, and materials gene-

practice of most continental cities, is statehasdbeen to be
making gradual progress, an d a requisition re-
