CORONER'S INQUESTS.

•
Ott. Wednesday afternoon -an Inqupst field
at the White Bear. New End, Hampstead, before Tnogal
STIILLING, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Harriet CowLI. a
child 17 months old. It was generally reported throughout thz
neighbourhood of Hampstead and Highgate, that. the decesa4
had been used in the most cruel manner by its nurse, and.that
it was starved to death. The interest excited was so very great'
that long before the arrival of the Coroner, the Jury-room was
filled, and crowds of persons assembled near the house. The
fattier of the child, in his evidence, said such sunni3es were
wholly without foundation, and the doctor who had attended,.
the mother, was of opinion that both mother and child ha l
been consumptive, and that the deceased had died of a COWS
plaint in the bowels. The persons who had raised the reports
were next examined. It then appeared that the circumstances
had been told front one to another, and were originally in-
vented from motives of jealousy.—The Jury returned a ver
dict of—." Died by the Visitation of God."
An Inquest was hekLyesterday at the George public house,
Horsleydown, on the body of George Groves, aged 3 r'
who, while observing the Rowing Match for the Battle-btitiffs
Boat on Monday last, fell tram the window of his parent,'
house into the river, and was drowned. . '
Another Inquest was held at St. Thomas's Hoapital. on 01:
body of Susan Lilly, aged four years. The child got •o
bed in which it was sleeping with its parents, between.; „
o'clock on .Sunday morning, and approaching too he
night-light, set fire to its clothes. The parents were
' swled
by its screams, when they found the child in flames '"
shortly after. Verdict—" Accidental Death."

THE DUTY OF CORONERS.the Public
A Newcastle Paper ( The Tyne Mercury) calls d
attention to a circumstance that occurred in that counth -811;
which was referred to by Mr. Baron Bullock in his addrrl„,...
the Gland Jury of the County of Northumberland 1,7
will allow me (he observed) to put this letter into your harilt,
I shall say nothing to you on the subject ; but if the facts stilled
in it, be true, it is Important for the justice of the countrY
something should be done."
The facts to which the Learned Judge. alluded were
rth:g
A grazier was returning from the fair on his pony, Pt. hip
sober when two persons came riding furiously behind
and threw him with such violence that, from the injury be re•
ceived, lie lingered till the following night, and then alr_r.Lt
This affair was suffered to pass over as if nothing had haPlicub'j
beyond a common occurrence. No Coroner's Inquest real heal
nru the Wit. The unhappy being who was thus robbed
al
his life, was consigned to the tomb as if he had met a nays,
death, and the individuals who caused it were suffered tlni.sd
large. The Journal before mentioned says, that they th,
since heard that a Magistrate took some depositions an
occasion, but thought tit to adopt no measures in consegliell'
nor did the Coroner, sooner or later, hold an Inquest arr
body.

Two men, tramps or pedlars, on Ttleadliii
crossing Dialling-hill, Lewes, with a dog, it• ran out and

on which the fellow drew out a sharp instrument, and rilms
Up the belly of the pedlar, so that his entrails literally ck oa
out. His companion ran to his assistance, but was struck
his legs by the two brutes. They were immediately taken d.
custody, and committed to gaol, together with two woritenlN4
four children, who were with them at the time. The pourrh
is lying in a very dangerous state. We understand the r
