CORONER'S INOUEST.-011 Friday MT. G. J. Mills,
deputy coroner for Middlesex, concluded an inquiry,
which was opened on Tuesday ast, in the large room of
the Gloucester Arms Tavern, Gloucester-road, Kensing.
ton, into the circumstances a. tending the death of Henry
Shepherd, an infant child, fifteen weeks old, whose
death it was alleged, had been caused by a powder, in-
tended 'for the mother, having been improperly admi-
nittered to the ,deceased child, while the family were
casual inmates of the workhonse of the parish of St.
Mary Abbotts, Kensington. After a lengthened inves-
tigation, the jury returned the following verdict :
" The jury are unanimously of opinion that the de.
cc stied child, Elizabeth Shepherd, died in convulsions,
occasioned by the administration of a narcotic powder
by mistake, and they recommend that the parochial
authorities be requested to appoint competent persons to
receive and administer the ineklicines sent to the work-
house by the parish surgeon, and that he be requested
to write the directions on the medicines in a more legible
manner.*
TILE FRATRICIDE AT STEEPLE CLAYDON.—On
the 15th instant an inquiry was commenced at the
School-room, Steeple Claydon, before Mr. J. W.
Cowley, one of the Coroners for the county of Bucks,
and a respectable jury, into the circumstances attend-
ing the death of Thomas Shirley, who, it was alleged,
had died from injuries received in a pugilistic en-
counter with his brother, Joseph Shirley. The in-
quiry was twice adjourned, and did not terminate till
Friday last, the 23d instant. It appeared from the
evidence adduced that, on the night of Thursday, the
14th instant, the deceased and his brother Joseph were,
with_other perscns, drinking until a late hour at the
Milk Pail public-house in the village of Steeple Claydon.
A quarrel occurred between the two brothers, and they
went to the parish pound, where a fight took place be-:
tween them at 2 o'clock in the morning. Both the men
appear to have been intoxicated ; but the deceased was
admitted to be in a much worse state than his
brother. After between 40 and 50 rounds had been
fought, Thomas Shirley became insensible, and was
carried to his father's house in the village, where he
expired in a very short time. Mr. Denne, surgeon of
Buckingham, and Mr. Cowley, surgeon, of Winslow,
who has made a post mortent examination of the body of
the deceased, were of opinion that death was occasioned
by blows or a fall. The jury returned a verdict of man-
slaughter against Joseph Shirley, as principal, and
against John Pangbourne and Richard Cross, who acted
as seconds to the combatants, as accessories. Shirley,
