CORONER'S INQUEST.

Tuesday Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the Robin-
son Crusoe, Earl-street, Lisson-grove, on the body of
William Morton, aged 51, formerly an omnibus pro-
prietor, latterly a conductor, but more recently without
any employment.
Edward Wright, an omnibus driver, residing at No.
31, Little Cathie-street, Edgware-road, said, deceased
was a lodger of his, and. that about four o'clock on
Saturday last, witness sent his daughter, aged nine years,
to deceased's room to call him down to tea. She re-
turned quite alarmed, saying, "Mr. Morton looked very
white in the face,- and had a string round his neck."
Witness was then in the act of cutting bread and butter,
and he ran up stairs with the knife in his hand, and
seeing deceased hanging, he cut him down. He was
quite dead, and a doctor who was called in tried ineffec-
tually to bleed him. He had cut one of the bed cords in
half, and with it hanged himself by the neck from a hook
in the ceiling.
By the CORONER—I saw him reading a book about
eleven o'clock on Saturday forenoon, and I then told
him, his tent being in arrear, that I had let his room to
another. He. replied very carelessly, "Oh, have you ?"
He was formerly in partnership with Mr. Shillibeer. Since
then he became a conductor, but eight months ago lost
his situation through drunkenness ; he was extremely
low and dull, except when he drank, and latterly he was
never a day sober. lam confident he hanged himself.
The CORONER, addressing Wright—Do you think that
drunkenness brought on insanity, or that insanity led to
drunkenness? Wright—l think the man must be insane
to drink as he did. I have known him drink a bottle of
brandy a day for twelve months together. He formerly
attempted to cut his throat with a razor, and on Friday
night last he asked another conductor to lend him a
penny, saying he wanted it to buy a cord wherewith to
hang himself.
Verdict--" Temporary insanity."

DEER-STEALING IN WINDSOTI
GREAT PARK.

Notwithstanding the sharp look out kept day and
night by her Majesty's keepers in the Great Park at
Windsor, deer-stealing has been successfully carried on,
and to a great extent, during the whole of the- summer.
On Monday afternoon a notorious character, residing at
Old Windsor, named Joseph Atkins, alias Lovely Joe,
who has long been suspected, from his well-known
poaching tricks, to have been connected with these de-
predations, was brought before Mr. Ward, one of the
Magistrates for the county of Berks, at Englefield-
°Teen, charred by David Fisher, constable of Old
Windsor, with having shot at and killed a female deer,
the property of her Majesty, early on the morning of
Sunday last.
It appeared from the evidence of Sampson Strickland,
one of her Majesty's keepers (who was corroborated by
another witness), that between one and two o'clock on
Sunday morning (the moon shining at the time) he and
three of his assistants were on watch in the park, at
Peter's-hill, near the paddocks formerly used for the
Hanoverian horses, and almost close to the new union
workhouse, when they heard the report of a gun about
300 yards from where they were standing. After wait-
ing quietly behind the trees for nearly half an hour, they
saw the prisoner descend from the wall into the park, by
means of a short ladder, which it was proved had been
taken by the prisoner from the rick-yard of a farmer at
Old Windsor, named Friend. It was from the top of this
wall the deer was shot. The fellow, in attempting to carry
off the deer, several times tried to get it upon his shoulders,
but failed, from the state of drunkenness he was in, falling
each time with the deer in his arms. At this time Strick-
land and his assistants went .up to the prisoner, who
made no resistance, and took him into custody. The
accused, who had hidden his gun on Peter's -hill, in a
gutter or water-course, within a short distance of where
he was taken, pointed out the spot to the keepers, where
it was found.
The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was
fully committed to Reading gaol to take his trial for the
capital offence of killing and slaying a deer within en-
closed grounds, the property of the Queen, at the next
assizes for the county of Berks.
He has been several times convicted at Aylesbury
and Reading of poaching, for which he has undergone
various terms of imprisonment. As a "wirer of hares"
he is considered to be the greatest proficient in the neigh-
bourhood of Windsor and Egham.

MOST MELANCHOLY COACH ACCIDENT AT
KENDAL. ATTENDED WITH Loss OF LIFE..—On Sunday
afternoon last the Engineer coach, which runs betwixt
the Lancaster Railway terminus and Carlisle, when on
its return from the north, was overturned on the road at
a place called Coldharbour, on the Shap-road, about four
miles distant from Kendal. It appears that strong op-
position now exists between the stage and mail-coaches
as to which can arrive first in the various towns off the
ri toad, in order to secure the greatest number of passengers.
1 o effect this object the horses are driven at a most
rapid and unnatural speed. This being the case on the
day in question, and the Engineer having the lead of the
mails, was proceeding at a tremendous rate, and, on
reaching the above place, the traces of the leading
horse were forced from their fastenings, which caused
a temporary check, when the coach, which was
heavily laden with luggage on the roof, and car-
rying at the time four inside and nine outside passengers,
began to swerve from one side to the other upon its
springs. This dangerous motion was perceived by a Mr.
Heyward, farmer, of Hintlesham, Suffolk, who was re-
turning from Scotland, where he had been to inspect
some new and improved agricultural implements, and
who was sitting behind the driver. He immediately
leaped from the coach in a direction from the horses,
when, most appalling to relate, his head came in contact
with the ground, by which he was killed on the spot.
After this sad occurrence the coach proceeded on the two
right side wheels about 50 yards, when it went over with
a tremendous crash, precipitating with great violence to
the ground the whole of the passengers, amongst whom
were two lake tourists, whose names have not yet
transpired, who had the misfortune to be thrown under the
coach, and the horses still furiously continued to drag the
coach. These two gentlemen were most grievously in-
jured, one had the fleshy part of his leg, extending from
the ancle to the knee, torn in the most dreadful manner,
whilst Isis foot was completely twisted round. The other
gentleman escaped somewhat more favourably, but, not-
withstanding this, one of his legs was broken, and the
other much contused. They were both afterwards re-
moved in a carriage to the Crown Inn, Kendal, where all
surgical assistance was rendered them, and where they
still linger in an almost hopeless state. The body of Mr,
Heyward was removed to the Plough Inn, Selside, about
five miles north of Kendal. A coroner's inquest was held
upon the body on. Monday, but up to eight O'clock in the
evening no verdict had been returned. With respect to
the other passengers, nothing material occurred to them,
with the exception of the shock from the accident. -

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MAnxr;•;:, Auu. e maid.
ket to-day has been quite «putl to tiett of last, Monday.
There has been a brisk demand for flannels, and mart'
have been Sold at rather better price 3. Beside the mer-
chants, there have been several of the large manufactu-
rers to-day in the market, who have bought rather
freely. The stocks on hand have been considerably di'
minished the last month ; but July, August, awl Sep-
tember, are generally the best months in the year for the
Blackwater market. Wool still maintains its price, but
the manufacturers have bought very sparingly.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, AUGUST 3.
The demand for middle and low-priced woollens, both
plain and fancy, was tolerably brisk to-day: prices, both
plain
have not improved. In superfines there was little
done. In light fancies there was less cause of complaint.
Wools are firm. Business in the warehouses has not un-
dergone any material change.

BiAUFOItT IltON WOltKS.—On Wednesday
night, the 21st ult., about eleven o'clock, Beaufort W2S

in number to about 100, who proceeded, aoaid yells, bel-
lowings, rattling of chains, and the most discordo
noises, to the house of Emanuel Hughes, late of the Vie'
toria Inn, but now of the Picton beer-house, burst in
the door, and commenced beating out, unmercifully, with
sticks, two bailiffs, who were in possession of the Aolre

under a distress for debt, and carried off several artie'ei
of furniture and destroyed others, while what beer could
be found was set flowing about the floor. The. IsnaliZrzu

for his rent, also got very roughly handled, and "'I? all
