DEATH OF A NEGRO BY STRANGULATION.--An
inquest was held on Thursday, by T. C. Maynard, Esq., on
the body of William Macdonald, miner, aged 70 years. Mr.
Matthias Dunn, the Government Inspector for Mines, was
present during the examination. From the evidence, it
appeared that on Monday morning the deceased descend eh
d
the shaft of B pit, Monkwearinouth colliery, and, along
wit
about sixty other men, mounted on a train of waggons, to
descend an incline of 1,400 yards, to the inner part of the
workings.' They were proceeding down the incline, when
the rope suddenly broke, owing to the jerking of the en-
gine on its fir t starting into motion, and the waggons
ran amain, but were fortunately stopped by an inge-
nious apparatus termed a " bull, ' which is attached to
the train. On examination the deceased was found to
have been strangled between two of the waggons. A
verdict of accidental death was returned by the jury.
The deceased was formerly a slave in the INest Indies, but
about forty years ago, having met with some English sailors
at Jamaica, he learned that England was a land of freedom,
and resolved to escape from slavery. He accordingly con-
cealed himself on board a vessel bound for London. For
three days be remained below, till he was nearly starved to
de ith ; force' by hunger he at last made his appearance on
deck, to the great astonishment of the sailors, who gave him
food and treated him with kindness. As soon as the vessel
arrived at London his love of liberty was so intense that he
instantly leaped on shore, though imperfectly c'othed, with-
out either money or friends, and with an imperfect know-
ledge of the English language. After may vicissitudes he
found his way to Sunderland, and has worked in the neigh-
bouring collieries for a number of years as a coal hewer.
Hsas an industrious man, a member of the Church
Ese gland, and much reipected by his neighbours.— Sunder-
