FATAL ACCIDENT AT AN IRON FOUNDRY.—An in-
quest was taken yesterday afternoon by Mr. W. Carter,
at the Duke's Head, Lemon-street, St. Saviour's, South-
wark, on the body of John Morris, aged sixty-three
years, late of No. 15, Orange-street, Gravel-lane, who
died under the following circumstances:—The deceased
was storekeeper, in the employ of Messrs. Grissell and
Co., ironfounders, of Eagle Wharf, Hoxton, New Town.
On the morning of Tuesday week the deceased was in
the act of descending a staircase from one of the upper
store rooms, when he was seized with a vertigo, or
swimming in the head, and fell to the bottom. A noise
was heard by one of the clerks in the counting-house,
who ran to the deceased, and found him lying on his
back quite inseesible. and bleeding from the ears. He
was seen by Mr. Baker, a surgeon, who found that he
had received severe internal injury in the head, and two
scalp wounds. He suggested his removal home, where
he became much worse, although attended daily by Mr.
Olding, the surgeon, of High-street, Borough, who ren-
dered every possible aid until his death, which took place
on Tuesday last. Mr. Olding attributed his death to
laceration of the membranes of the brain, together with
congestion, evidently the result of a fall. The occurrence
appeared to be clearly accidental; the jury, therefore,
returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
The oldest and most celebrated dame of Eton, Mrs.
Angelo, has just expired, in the 88th year of her age.
For nearly 70 years the dee( axed lady was connected
, ,with this great publio establishment
