SUSPICIOUS r JEATH.—Thursday afternoon, an inquest
was held before Mr. W. Baker, jun , at the London 'Hos-
pital, on the body of George Bedford,. aged fifty-eight, of
_l7, Cornwall-street, St. George in-the-East. Charlotte Bed-
ford, the wife of the deceased, stated that on last Monday
week her husband came home and complained of baying
fallen down in the street and bruising his right arm and fore-
head. His arm continued to get worse, and on Monday last
he was conveyed to the hospital. Mr. Wordsworth, one of
the house surgeons, examined the deceased, and found that
he had received a severe contused wound over the right eye,
and his arm was very much inflamed, which was quite suffi-
cient to have caused death. The deceased lingered until the
following day, when he expired. The jury then returned an
open verdict, " That the deceased died from a contused wound
over the right eye, but how it was produced there is not
sufficient evidence before the jury."
