CORONERS' INQUESTS.

Yesterday forenoon, Mr. STIRLING and a highly-
respectable Jury, the Churchwardens of the parish of
Clerkenwell, and some of the Overseers, being sworn, sat
at the Cherry Tree, in Bowling-green-lane, Clerkenwell, to
inquire relative to the death of a female infant child, which
was alleged to have taken place in consequence of some
wilful misconduct on the part of the parents. The case
was expected to have been one of great interest, from the
suspicions which had been excited ; but the Jury, after
going most minutely into the evidence, returned the follow-
ing verdict—" That the deceased died a natural death. The
Jury also find that the child appeared to have been a
healthy child born, and was, during its existence, greatly
neglected by its parents."
An inquest was held at the Prince Regent, in Kenning-
ton-street, Walworth, before Mr. Carter, on the body of
Mr. Samuel Stewart, formerly a hatter in the City, who
destroyed himself by hanging. Miss Stewart, the deceased's
eldest daughter, deposed that about six weeks ago her mo-
ther died, since which period her father had frequently ex-
hibited great despondency of mind, from which nothing
that the family could do had the effect of arousing him.
A few days ago he went to see his sister at Peckham, and,
having stayed to dinner, he returned home early in the
evening, equally as much depressed in spirits as ever, and
employed himself in writing until bedtime. About nine
o'clock witness went into the room where her father was,
and perceiving that he appeared tired and exhausted, ad-
vised him to go to bed. He then desired her to take care
of the papers upon which he had been writing, and retired
to his chamber. The following morning, the deceased not
coming down stairs at his usual hour, witness went up to
his room, and was shocked upon seeing him lying on the
floor at the foot of the bed, and apparently dead. Mr.
Elliott, a neighbour, having been immediately called
in, it was then discovered that the deceased was lifeless,
and that a piece of cord was tied firmly round his neck ;
another piece of cord was also found tied to the tester of
the bed, from which it appeared that the cord had broken,
by the deceased's weight, and that he fell to the floor, and
had remained in that situation until he was discovered the
next morning. The deceased had all his clothes on.
The Jury concurred in the opinion that the deceased bad
committed the act of self-destruction while labouring under
temporary insanity, and a verdict to this effect was accord-
ingly returned.

A boy of the name of Chandley, who had been
watching crows near Hornsea, on his return home a few days
since, left his gun in the corner of the room. A little fellow
about nine years of age, the son of a milkman of the name
of Tucker, running into the room and taking the gun, ex-
claimed " Joe, I'll shoot you," and on pulling the trigger,
wounded his young friend in the right hand and thigh. Two
gentlemen riding past at the time alighted, and gave every as-
sistance in their power. One of them, shaking the little fel-
low, said he would have him hanged, which had such an ef-
fect on him, that the next morning he was unable to rise from
his bed. He cried, and " hoped Joe would be better." He
was answered he was getting better, and that he might go and
see him. He did so the following day, and appeared more
compored, but his feelings were too great for his strength, and
on Thursday morning he died. The wounded boy is now
walking about.—North Derbyshire Chronicle.

Last Friday, as the Safety Coach was leaving the
Crown Hotel, at Southwell, with a full load of luggage and
passengers, the fine team of spirited horses started round the
acute angle to the right, instead of to the left, and in bearing
them to the left the coach was worked on the short lock, the
off wheels running over the foot pavement, which is from
eight to twelve inches in height. A concussion which broke
one of the springs was the consequence ; but the coach was
unimpeded by the accident.—Nottingham Review.
The reception given to the Poor Law Commis-
sioner, on Thursday, reflects but little credit on the town. It
is neither honourable nor manly to refuse to listen even to an
opponent; and the simple effect of the clamour in this parti-
cular case will be that the law will be carried into effect
without our consent or concurrence, whereas its operation
might have been made to suit our local: conveniencies and pe-
culiarities of situation. But we shall'eturn to the subject in
our next.--Carlisle Journal.'
