CORONERS' INQUESTS.

•
MURDER AT SHADWELL.
Yesterday an Inquest was taken by
Urawni Esq. at the Ship, Fanner•street, Shadwell, 05 tl
body of Mary Nugent, about 40 years of age, whose &stall
yesterday mentioned in Tats St/ N.
Ann Shepard, who lives next door to the deceasek.si Is
on Christmas night about nine o'clock ; she then tokrititita
she meant to remain in the street all night: next morning 4
heard a moaning in deceased's room, and found her lying
with a blanket over her face; and seeming very unwell.
Ann Williams de, that the deceased told her on VI
morainic, that a north country sailor, dressed in a drab Jack'
with white buttons, had accompanied her home the premix*
night ; she described herself as a murdered woman, and*
he had jumped on her, held one of his hands to her mead
and beat her with the other; this person was a tall, 0140
man, having an old wound under his right jaw.
3lr. Philip Bateman, surgeon, saw the deceased cad
morning of her death. He opened the head yesterday, al
found an inflammation of the brain, but thought it was st
occasioned by external violence. There was no injury on d
scalp. She was much intoxicate(' at the time, and was MN
given to intoxication. The inflammation of the brain was I
doubt occasioned by drinking spirituous liquors. A blow 41
the eye would not produce inflammation of the brain. 11
thought the deceased died from this inflammation, and thstr
was produced by excessive drinking.
The Coaonta here observed, that the evidence. of tlw
geon went to do away the supposition that the woman had WI
murdered, though there could be no doubt she had 'xi:sibs*,
The Foreman of the Jury seemed to be of somewhat a
opinion, and a verdict was recorded of—Wilful blurtia=

Gentlemen were sitting, and called for a glas
brandy and water. While drinking it, he d
a pistol from his pocket, and laid it by the

with him on the impropriety of displaying out
weapon in company. Mr. Fountain took up
pistol, and pointing it at the Gentleman, he si
" There ; what harm can this little thing di
any one ?" The Gentleman put the pistol at

larity, and that perhaps it might be loaded.
Fountain replied, " It is, and you shall see ?
soon it can rid a man of his cares," He then
the muzzle of the pistol into his mouth, and
it. The discharge tore the tongue to pieces,'
