coffee-house, Holywell-street. Deceased stated that he
lived in the New North-road ; but when interrogated
as to the manner in which he met with the injuries he
became morose and silent. He lingered until Saturdsf

the shock and fracture. Mrs. Sarah Colliver, landlady
of the coffee-house, said the deceased, accompanied by
a young man, came to her house shortly after ten.

some coffee and toast. After reading he and his friend
retired to bed on the second-floor. About two o'clock

siding in the coffee-house, corroborated the last witness'
Police-constable Cribb, 132 F, raised deceased from the
ground, and with assistance carried him to the hospital.
While doing so deceased frequently exclaimed, M 9
God, what mystery is this? What .have I done?" Lie
was quite stupid from the fall, and bad been drinking.
Miss Wildman, deceased's sister, entered the inquest'
room at this stage of the proceedings in a distracted
state, and was with the greatest difficulty calmed
induced to retire. Her appearance affected to tear'
every one present. The Coroner summed up, and con'
eluded by expressing his unwillingness to close the ill'
quiry until the young man who was last in compa'
with deceased was produced. The jury fully agree,
with the Coroner, who ordered the police to search f°'
the young man. He then adjourned the inquiry. ,
RiPEESINTATION OF SHOREHAM.-.—A ?loamy 4
been caused in the representation of the borough..., ,
Shoreham and rape of Bramber by the death of Dlff'
Charles Goring. Mr. Goring had been suffering 0,
some considerable time from an attack of typhus level
at his seat, Wiston-park, near Steyning, in the rape
Bramber; but he was recovering, when he was suddeoV
seized with a relapse, of which he died on Sunday evelji
ing. He was only thirty-two years of age, and bg.,,
scarcely passed his honeymoon. He succeeded his el)"
sin, the present Sir Harry Dent Goring, in the repsii
sentation of the borough, twice defeating Lord Edele
Howard, son of the Duke of Norfolk, and presen.
Member for Horsham. He was a Conservative and
Protectionist. The representation is one of the peck
liars of the Reform Act, the burgesses of Shorebo
and the freeholders of the rape being conjoined to for
the constituency.
Art is but a mirror, which gives back what i!
cast its surface faithfully, only while unsullied.
