THE LATE FIRE IN THE TOWER.-CORO.
NER'B INquEsT.—Yesterday evening, at five o'clock, an
inquest was held at the King's Head, in the Tower of
London, before Thiselton Dyer, Esq., Coroner for tho
Liberty of the Tower, on the body of Richard Wivell,
aged 24, one of the Fire Brigade, who lost his life on
Sunday last, at the calamitous fire in the Tower. Wm.
Childs being sworn, said—l am gardener and beadle of
the Tower. On the first alarm of the fire, I proceeded
with others with the Tower engitie. About 12 o'clock
on Sunday, whilst the Armoury was in flames, I saw the
deceased take a branch of the engine from a soldier. At
the time a quantity of stones and bricks fell from the
top of the Armoury upon the head of the deceased, who
fell apparently lifeless. I assisted some of the firemen
and soldiers in carrying the deceased into the Spur-
guard-room, where he was attended by Mr. English, sur-
geon, of Graceehurch-street, and also Mr. Bowling, sur-
geon of the Ist Regimunt of Scots Fusilier Guards,
but he died a few minutes after the accident happened.
By the Coroner—The stones and bricks that fell upon
the deceased came from the front wall of the Armoury.
