j2(QUEST.—On Monday an inquest was held at Guy's Hospital,
before Mr. Payne, on the bodies of John Smith. and Robert
Spiers, two of the unfortunate individuals who perished from
an explosion in King-street, Lambeth-walk, on Friday last.
George Randall deposed that the deceased were in the em-
ploy of Mr. Darby, firework-maker. About two o'clock on
Friday witness was in the cellar of the house, No. 15, King-
street, Lambeth-walk. The deceased and two others of the
name of Kenyon were engaged in making stars, consisting of
a composition of saltpetre, sulphur, and antimony, which was
wetted with gum, and the whole mixed together in an
earthenware pan. The stars were made from the composi-
tion by a mould. Witness had left the house about eight
minutes when the catastrophe took place. Ry the Coroner—
I should judge there was about a hundredweight of composi-
tion in the cellar when the accident happened ; there was a
fire in the cellar, but no candle. By the jury—The men were
sober at the time ; they were in the habit of smoking in the
cellar, but none of them were doing so when I left. Mrs.
Kenyon, the mother of one of those who perished, deposeci—
She was on the premises when the explosion took place ; the
flames came up from the cellar into the passage. Witness,
the female Hailes, and the child Ainger, escaped through the
flames ; the two latter are now in a hopeless condition. A
few minutes before the explosion, her son William (dead)
came to her for a candle, which she gave him, but it was not
lit at the time. Witness cannot account for the origin of the
calamity. Mr. Darby and other witnesses were examined,
but none could state the origin of the catastrophe. Verdict—
" Accidental death."
