LISI FOR THE USE OF VISITORS TO
THE METROPOLIS.

"Accelerated by the want of proper accommoda-
tion in the wards of St. Pancras' Workhouse" is be-
coming a regular corollary to the verdicts of
coroner's juries in the famous London parish.
In fact, the last twelve who officiated did not
think this addendum sufficiently explicit,
but wanted to record that death had been
accelerated by neglect on the part of the medical men.
It was only after a stout controversy with the coroner
that the jury abandoned their design. The victim
whose death gave rise to this outburst of indignation
was an elderly man who had been suffering from
bronchitis. The workhouse authorities seem to have
conceived the idea that hurrying apatient from place
to place was the best cure for the disease. On January 3
Charles Field was taken from the infirmary into the
able-bodied men's ward, whilst palpably unfit for the
removal. Ho, remained eight days in the ward, was
taken back to the infirmary on the 11th, and died on
the 16th. Two doctors said that deceased was sent out
of the infirmary through "want of accommodation."
And this is the sort of thing that has been going on for
weeks. Pauper after pauper has been killed off,
strong verdicts in plenty have been returned, but
there is still a "want of accommodation" in St.
Pancras Workhouse.
