MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—An inquisition was
held on Saturday at hackney, before J. UNwim,
Eiq., Coroner, on the body of Mrs. Ann Good-
behere, the wife of G. Goodbehere, Esq., of
Hackney. Sarah Anderson, servant in 'the
family, deposed, that on Thursday last, about
half past three in the afternoon, she was
alarmed by hearing- the parlour bell ring.
ing violunt y, which continued till she ran up
stairs ; on her arrival at the parlour door, she
met her mistres c)mpletely enveloped in a sheet of
fire, from, head to foot : her shrieks were terrific,
and she begged for a,s'stance. Witness's fellow,-
servant came up at the moment, and the deceased
ran into the back parlour, whf-n the servant threw
.her down on the carpet, rolled the carpet over he:,
and smothered the 11am s Her c'o hes were cot::.
pletely Burnt Shefiield; surgeon, u!..
Hackney, was sent ft r to attend the deceased
on Thursday afternoon, and arrived on the spot.
immediately after the accident had taken place.
He never witnessed, during his whole profes-
sional life, a case in which the burning was more'
extensive.• Every part, except the face, and round
the small part of the body, (which was protectiid
by the stays), was burnt severely. He remained
in attendance on the deceased till three o'clock on
Friday morning, when she expired. It was to
him a matter of doubt if her death was not pro-
duced so speedily, more from the. shock and ter•
ror her frame sustained by the accident, than from
the severity of the burning. The deceased
was perfectly sensible till within u quarter of an
hour of her death. She told 'him that she was
alone in the parlour, and was standing by tha
fender, stirring the fire with a poker, when a
large shawl which she had over her shouldets
caught fire, by a current of air drawing it against
the bars of the grate, and it set her gown and
other apparel (which was of a light texture) On
fire. The deceased also said to a person in her
apartment, " what a 1-hocking accident this
is!"—The-Coroner stated to the Jury, that' it
was evident the death of the unfortunate- lady
was purely the effect of accident : it was a me-
lancholy circumstance. An affectionate. hus-
band deprived of his wife, and a number of chil-
dren of their mother, their natural protector,
was a great domestic calamity. He trusted that
the sad .e 'Kent would operate as a warning 'to fo-
males (whose apparel were made generally of.
materials that easily caught fire), to be. careful.
Verdict--" The deceased was accidentally burnt
to death."
