CORONERS' INQUESTS.

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Board-
room of St. George's Hospital, Hyde Park Corner, before
Mr. HIGGS, on the body of Thomas Frowd, aged 68. The
deceased was a carpenter, and employed with several others
upon the repairs which St. James's Church has been for
some time past undergoing, and on the morning of Monday
three weeks he went up to the second west gallery to get
on the scaffold, where he was in the habit of working, but
in place of crossing by a plank like the other men, h at-
tempted to step from the rail of the gallery to the scaffold,
but unfortunately he stepped short and fell into one of the
pews beneath. Assistance immediately came to him and
he exclaimed, " Oh, my God, my leg is broken." He was
instantly put into a coach and conveyed to the Hospital.
Mr. C. Ridout, the house surgeon of the Hospital, de-
posed that the deceased was brought there on the sth inst.,
labouring under a confirmed fracture of the right ankle-joint,
with a small portion of bone also broken within the joint.
He went on favourably till the 15th, when strong symptoms
of lock-jaw set in, and everything that could be done was
done for him ; but from want of nourishment, and the
shock being too great for a man of his advanced years, he
died on the 21st. Verdict—Accidental Death.

Yesterday afternoon a coroner's inquest was taken be-
fore Mr. STIRLING, at the North London Hospital, on view
of the body of George Constable, aged 24, a servant out of
place, who committed suicide by taking laudanum.
Mary Jenkins, housemaid to Mr. Elder, solicitor, No.
14, Queen-square, Bloomsbury, deposed that the deceased,
who was in the service of her master, left it a few weeks
ago. He was always very low spirited, and used to observe
that he had something on his mind. She does not know on
what account he was discharged. She never saw him in li-
quor. About half-past five on Tuesday afternoon last she
heard that he was at a public house in Gloucester-street.
He was in bed and in great agony. A doctor shortly after
arrived, when witness left. She found three phials in the
room, labelled " laudanum."

Mr. J. Hugh Edwards, clerk to Mr. Elderton, here pro-
duced a packet which he found in a cupboard in Mr. El-
derton's house, of which the deceased had the key. The
packet had not been opened.
By directions of the Coroner it was opened,when it was
found to contain several letters which he had addressed to a
young woman with whom he had formed an attachment.
A quantity of duplicates were also exhibited, which Mr.
Edwards said were pledges of property belonging to Mr.
Elderton, and which had been pledged for 1/. 165., one
article of which, namely, a silver fish slice, was worth 41.
There were many articles almost of equal value. On open-
ing one of the letters a lock of another female's hair was
found enclosed.
Verdict—" Temporary insanity."

quested that he might be taken to the station house, as he
had no place of abode. The constable hesitated about com-
