THE FATAL CATASTROPHE IN
LITTLE SWAN-ALLEY.

INQUEST ON THE BODIES (THIS DAY).

This morning Mr. W. J. Payne, deputy-coroner for
the City of London, opened an inquiry at S. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital, relative to the melancholy and lament-
able deaths of Thomas Palmer, and Eizabeth Pullen,
Tiloroas Pullen, and James Pullen, his step-children,
occasioned by the fall of the house No. D, Little Swan-
alley, Moorgate-street, on the morning of Wednesday
last.

Previous to the jury assembling at the hospital, they
met the coroner in Little Swan-alley, and examined the

Mr. W. Jones, ward clerk of Coleman-street Ward,
in which district the house was situated, attended and
watched the proceedings accompanied by several of the
members of the Common Council, Commissioners of
Sswers, and vestrymen of St. Stephen's parish. Mr.
Woodthorpe, the district surveyor, was present with
plans of the premises.
The jury was a highly respectable one, comprising
the principal tradesmen of the parish in which
the dreadful calamity occurred. Mr. Perkins, of Cole-
man-street, a member of the Common Council, was
appointed foreman.

', to leave or make any complaint of the state of the house.
(Sarah Parry, who formerly occupied rooms in the
house, deposel--"i h tt about three years ago she noticed
the dlls.pirlaterl stsie of the premises. The plaster from
the ceili3g n : ' the window, and the bricks from the fire
place beg so first to fall. She was a tenant to Mrs.
Marsh, and 0., complaining to her she had it repaired.
About the same time one of the steps of the stairs gave
way from decay. The summer before last while white-
washing the room some of the plaster fell down, and she
could see through. She was sister to Mrs. Pallen, and her
mother occupied the house for a long time. From her
observations she was satisfied the house was in a very
bad state. Mr. Horton, Mr. lieddington, and others
called some months since and looked at the exteriors of
the houses. They said they wished the houses were all
down, and asked the occupants why they did not leave.
They said the parish wished to have the houses down.
Mr. Reddington did not go into the house because he
was afraid to go over the stairs.

Mr. E. Woodthorpe, district surveyor, deposed that
he knew the premises in question and produced plans he
I had made of them. About 18 months ago, when he was
condemning houses in Sun-court, adjoining Little Swan-
alley, he found from observation, before his notice
had been called to it, the property in a dilapidated
etate. He condemned the "property in Sun-court
I under the old building act, which vested these powers
in the Court of Aldermen ; those houses were pulled
down. At that time he examined the exterior walls of
the building in question. He had no power to enter
the premises and survey them. He had to take care that
no danger was likely to occur from old buildings to pas-
sengers and the adjoining property. By the new act the
occupiers of houses were pro ected as much es passen-
gers, &c. Under the old act, and on a certain process
being gone through, he bad power to survey—without
it he could not enter premises for that purpose ; the In-
spector of Pavements gave him notice of any houses
being dangerous, and on receiving it he applied to the
Court of Sewers for authority to act. He was
not aware if Little Swan-alley was in the dis-
trict of the Inspector of Pavements. If he saw
danger he should move in the matter without
notice ; and report to the Commissioners of Sewers.
There was nothing definite in the act to compel sur-
veyors to walk round their districts like policemen, and
examine the dwellings, but it was the spirit of the act.
He had condemned a whole street on his own observa-
tion, and without his attention having been called to it.
The removal of the houses in Sun-court had not affected
the stability of the house in Little S man-alley. These
houses were from 150 to 200 years old. The wood work
was all worm eaten. He had examined the premises
since the accident. In his judgment the interior of the
house fell bodily from decay of the ends of the rafters
and wood work generally being worm-eaten, and, falling
in this manner, the outer walls were forced over a shed
into an adjoining court.

MA2KL'T NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwize, 4,460 quarters of English wheat have come
fresh to hand this week. By land carriage, to-day, the re.
ceipts were limited, and the show of samples of both red
and white was small. For all kinds we had a dull sale, at
prices barely equal to those realised on Monday.
The imports of foreign wheat are only 5,570 quarters.
The amount of business transacted in that grain wa■
trifling, at the late decline.

There was a steady sale for barley, at extreme quotations.
There was a moderate demand for malt, on former terms.
The oat trade was steady, and fine oats were rather dearer
than on Monday.

Beans and peas were steady, but flour was very dull.
Over 30,000 barrels of the latter have arrived from th•
United States.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

We had only a moderate supply of beasts on sale in to-
day's market, and their general quality was ♦ery inferior.
Most breeds sold steadily, at prices fully equal to those
realised on Monday. With sheep we were scantily sup-
plied, and the mutton trade ruled firm, at full quotations.
In lambs next to nothing was doing. There was a fair in-
quiry for both calves and pigs, the show of which was mo-
derate, at Monday's currency. Milch cows moved off
slowly, at from 141. to 191. each, including their small calf.
