MYSTERIOUS D BATH .—At nine o'clock on Monday
morning Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Plough,
Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, on John Thomas
Wildman, a stockbroker, late of 40, Shaftesbury-street,
New North-road, Hoxton, aged 48. Mr. Benjamin
Wildman, deceased's brother, deposed that deceased had
been a stockbroker. On Friday he saw deceased in
King's College Hospital, suffering from the injuries of
which he died. Mr. George Elsom, house surgeon,
stated that deceased was brought to the hospital between
two and three o'clock on Friday morning. His thigh-
bone was fractured, his scalp on the left aide was lace-
rated, and he was the worse for liquor. The police said ,
he had fallen from the second-floor window of Colliver's
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 end silent. He lingered until Saturday
morning, when he died from exhaustion, the result of
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
o'clock on Thursday night. He was quite sober, and had
some coffee and toast. After reading be and his friend
retired to bed on the second-floor. About two o'clock
the following morning she was awoke by a cLasb, and
found the deceased had fallen from the window into the
street, where he lay dressed, bleeding and insensible. De-
ceased's friend rushed out of the house in his shirt,
" Oh, my God, my friend has thrown himself
out of the window; go and tell his friends." He
soon afterwards dressed himself, started off again, and,
was not since heard of. Neither witness nor deceased's
friends knew the young man, nor anything about him.
Deceased frequented her house. Mr. M. F. King, re-
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 bospital.
While doing so deceased frequently exclaimed, " My
God, what mystery is this? What ;have I done?" He
was quite stupid from the fall, and had 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 and
induced to retire. Her appearance affected to tears
every one present. The Coroner summed up, and con-
cluded by expressing his unwillingness to close the in-
quiry until the young man who was last in company
with deceased was produced. The jury fully agreed
with the Coroner, who ordered the police to search for
the young man. He then adjourned the inquiry.
REPRESENTATION or SHOREHAM.—A vacancy has
been caused in the representation of the borough of
Shoreham and rape of Br,mber by the death of Mr.
Charles Goring. Mr. Goring had been suffering for
some con,iderable time from an attack of typhus fever,
at his seat, Wiston-park, near Steyning, in the rape of
Bramber ; but he was recovering, when he was suddenly
seized with a relapse, of which he died on Sunday even-
ing. He was only thirty-two years of age, and bad
scarcely passed his honeymoon. He succeeded his cow
sin, the present Sir Harry Dent Goring, in the repre-
sentation of the borough, twice defeating Lord Edward
Howard, son of the Duke of Norfolk, and present
Member for Horsham. He was a Conservative and
Protectionist. The representation is one of the pecu-
liars of the Reform Act, the burgesses of Shorehara
and the freeholders of the rape being conjoined to form
the constituency.
