a return to that effect (stating the particular
ground of exemption), but must also attend the
Deputy Lieutenants on the day of appeal, and
prove their exemption by producing a certificate
from a medical man ; and if not, they may be

SUDDEN DEATU.— On Wednesdy morning,
about eight o'clock, as Thos. Dorker, a job coachman, between
40 and 50 years of age, in the employ of Mr. Rudland, of
Bulstrode Mews, Marylebone, was walking up the mews, he
was suddenly take?' ill ; he caught hold of the handle of a
coach-door which was being cleaned by, John Heath in the
mews. He could not speak, but emitted a large quantity of
blood from his mouth. Ile dropped on his knees, and Heath
took him up and placed him in the coach-house, and a surgeon
was sent for, but before the arrival of the latter he died. Mr.
R. Macdonald, of Thayer•strect, surgeon, attended the instant
he was called upon, but when he arrived the vital spark had
fled, and all attempts to restore him were useless. He was of
opinion that he died of an effusion of blood on the chest, which
might have been produced by a violentfit of coughing. An in-
quest was held on the body on Thursday evening, and a verdict
given, Died by the visitation of God." The poor man has
left a wife and fire children.
